On the banks of the Chickamauga
in 1863 grizzled, gray-clad veterans
from Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee,
stood in line of battle under the star
gemmed cross of the South in deadly
conflict with the veterans of the
North, who wore the blue and fought
under the stars and stripes. That
was fOrty-five years ago. Again, on
that historic spot the banners flutter
in the breeze and martial music
awakes the sleeping echoes. But
there is no clash of hostile arms.
There are soldiers from all of the
States named above, but they are
mostly amateurs who never smelled
the smoke Of battle, God grant that
they never may.

CHEAP TWINE
is SECURED
FOR THE FARMERS OF OKLAHOMA
THE STATE BOARD HEADS
OFF THE TRUST

Guthrie, April 1.-The state board
Of agriculture has taken up the binding
twine question with W. H. Haskell,
warden of the Kansas penitentiary
whose binding twine plant has saved
the great wheat state to the north Of
us from the ravishes .of the twine
trust. Under the territorial govern
ment this department has been able
to save many hundreds Of dollars to
the small grain growers Of the state,
but until this year the Kansas twine
plant has never been enabled to July
meet the outside demand. This year
the board is able to quote a rate Of
seven and one-half cents on pure ST.
sal twine in lots Of 5000 pounds and
upwards, and eight cents On orders
of less than that number of pounds.
The grain growers can take this
matter up with the Kansas plant,
and the Oklahoma board will take
pleasure in furnishing order blanks
and envelopes to all growers. Samples
will also be furnished as long as the
supply lasts.
1t is not only on the twlne purchased
from the Kansas plant that the state
board will effect a great saving to the
farmers, but all twine dealers will be
compelled to meet these figures by
reason of this competition.
Farmers should take advantage of
this arrangement and place their or
ders early so that they will not fall
victims Of corner that might occur
later in the season after the supply
Of the Kansas Institution becomes ex-
hausted.
