bert, the authors of THE Red Mill,

interesting story, framed in a pictur-
esque setting, with melodies which
will find their way into every house

means of the revolving blades of the

Mock Convention.

After the large majority of the del
egates at the convention. who had
refused to longer submit TO the revo-
lutlonary tactics and fool sldesteps
of Chairman Deboe yesterday after
noon, held a convention and ad-
journed one of the most amusing and
grotesque farces ever presented In
the state or county was entered into
and a large crowd of citizens who
remained at the court house on ac-
count OF the heavy downpour of rain,
enjoyed the afterplece immensely.
Deboe seated the McCracken coun-
ty Taft delegation.
Not until the convention" came 10
vote on the report of the committee
on credentials did the astute polite
lans who gathered around the man
whom tradition records once served
a term in the United States senate
realize that a quorum was necessary
to transact business under parliament
airy usages. The Deboe committee on
credentials after apparently mature
deliberation brought in report which
bore evidence of having been prepar-
ed before hand, seating the contestine
delegations from Graves, McCracken
Trigg, Hickman and Fulton counties
the report being made blanket to
cover all. BY some strange mishap
II occurred to Deboe that the contest
ing delegations could not vote to seat
themselves in the convention. Walter
Blackburn, the crowds choice for con-
gress, who evidently wished to show
his good judgment, came to the res
cue and made motion that the con
tests be taken up separately and In
alphabetical order. The motion pre-
vailed and the county of Carlisle was
taken up. Graciously the Taft dele
cation was seated, though, let 1t be
said, throughout the convention the
Fairbanks delegation which was un-
seated by its own volition, voted on
all questions coming before the con
yentlon They were needed on ac-
count of that pesky quorum.

In speaking of the effect OF his
work in Oklahoma, MIR. William NJ.

ture, said:
II believe the farmers of Okla

ed methods Of growing cotton with a
chcerfulness and and promptness |
have never met before. The impress,
ion sought to be conveyed to the
men is that breaking Of the soil,
cultivation and an early maturing va
r,ety of cotton seed must be taken
in combination and not any one or
two parts of the combination should
be adopted
The large number who have agreed
TO follow his advice is cause for his
congratulations Exclusive OF % d..
number of demonstration fJ ms
are some $500 farmers who live In
the boil weevil infested sections who
have broken their land and are wait
ing for the season to open so that
they can plant.
This has caused a great demand
for early maturing cotton seed and
to supply that demand a car was
shipped in here and will be sold to
farmers at cost and carriage. The
car arrived last Friday and already
three-fourths Of it has been shipped
out TO those who had placed their
orders. Col \ V Doak has the ship
