the navy and the feet called for
and the arts borne by the govern

the agricultural appropriation for
the last fiscal year was $5,942,O40.
The comparison is made even more
striking when we realize that from
1899 TO the present day, counting
the present proposed appropriation
the aggregate appropriations for the
department of agriculture are $685.

HOPEFUL
RETURNS FROM WASHINGTON WITH
GOOp NEWS. EXPECTS TME
BILL TO PASS
A COURT FOR GHIGKASHA
Is Now Practically Assured 4 Will be

Col G o. w. Farefoot arrived at
home from Washington yesterday
and ike al returning delegates
brings hopeful tidings from the
capital.
/ Col. Barefoot is looking well
after his sojourn at Washington he
is evident by getting "acclima'ed"
to the high life tnat abounds there.
He was interviewed by the Express
this morning relative TO statehood
affairs and said among other thing
Yes, we are going to get statehood
at this session. OF course there is
a possibility Of the bill dying as it
did before in the conference com
mittee but / don't anticipate that
this will occur. Ny opinion is
that the bill will be reported by
the senate committee on Wednes-
day and after that, its course will
depend largely opon the attitude
taken by Senator Beveridge and
the other leaders with reference
to the Arizona New Mexico feature
Of the bill.
Senator Foraker says he will
never allow the bill to pass in its
present form and he will have a
large following opposed to the New
Mexico-Arizona proposition. | be
licve that the Senate would pass
the bill without debate if it we're
| lagreed that the people Of Arizona
and New Mexico should be pre-
mitted to vote separately on the
acceptance of joint statehood. If
this is not agreed to, there Will
: be long debate and it will be
( thirty days or more before the
| Senate acts. l think the Senate
will likely extend the prohibition
provision over the entire new state
Syeaking with reference to a fed
eral court at Chickasha, Col. Bare
foot said he was confident that
Chickasha would get a court.
i"While the bill passed by the
house does not designate Chickasha
as a court town, we have some
strong friends in the Senate who
promise to take care of our interests
and they can be depended upon.

room are each a series in a great
system, the one built upon the preced-
ing so that the absence Of the child
from one of them impairs his compre-
hension of the succeeding one, and not
only makes it more difficult for the
teacher but weakens the mental de-
velopment of the child.
The child who, SO to speak, resists
the efforts of the teacher binders his
own progress. This usually comes
from a personal dislike of the teacher,
and this dislike is often the result of
uncomplimentary remarks made in the
presence of the child at home. 1t is
therefore better for the child to sup
press any remarks derogatory to the
teacher even If true. For while teach
ers are only mortal and consequently
not infallible, they strive for that
which is best for the child as they see
it, and any mistakes are those of the
head and not of the heart.
A helping hand extended to every
teacher in the city schools will not
only make their own work easier but
the increased advantages to the chill
dren will we'll repay the efforts in
dollars and cents.

the industry is getting somewhat of
start in this state, as the following
from the Devils Lake Republican will
show:
Angus Mcdonald has three-quar-
ter section down in Poplar Grove on
the old Besaw place and in a beautiful
park section. The west side of the
farm runs to the shore of Tellers bay
and is lined with brush and young
forest growth. Here Mr.. Mcdonald
has fenced of pasture for his 80 fine
Angora goats. He is we'll pleased with
the goats and their work in cleaning
land. The goats breed we'll but he
missed one point. The goats must be
clipped in April. The goats often give
some raisers trouble when the kids
are born as they. are not AS good
mothers as are sheep. He separates
each mother in small pen. When the
kid Is born 1t needs warm place till
dry. In few days the mother becomes
attached to her kid and then there is
no more trouble. Fencing properly Is
important and need not be high but
firm at top and as they will force it
up and crawl under or several will
get up on top wire and bear it down.
The hair is long, silky, and brings a
good price in good grades.
The meat Of the young goat is fine
and in California hotels is served as
Angora venison and a great favorite.

Being detected he compromised at so

Close Call.

One chicken hunter from Grafton,
had a little experience. says the Rec
ord. that he doesn't care to repeat
not that he was injured, but he had
one of those things called CLOSE
call" A rain storm came up and chas
ed him into hen house. Now. of
course there is nothing wrong about a
chicken hunter going to hen house,
but he had only got inside and passed
the time of day with the hens, when
a bolt of lightning came hurrying
down and struck shock of grain d.
rectly in front Of his temporary abode.
The grain burned up gladly and the
hunter put out its hilarity and ex-
pressed thanks or should have done
SO, that the lightning did not hit the
hen house and hit him for his hunt
ing license.
