DANCING With 7ARS

San Francisco, May 12.-Lovely
maids, beautiful matrons and merry
widows, the buds and blossoms of
California's fairest femininity, will to-
night do honor to the Jack Tars OF
the battleship fleet at grand ball
and reception to be given by the Ia.
dies of the California Club. To music
furnished by the best orchestra in the
city, the jackies will dance with the
social leaders of the coast, and will
enjoy themselves at the pleasant pas
time as only tars on shore leave can.
There will be no distinction as to rank
or class at this great ball, one of the
largest ever arranged on the Pacific
coast, and it will likely go down in
history as the most democratic DEM
onstration ever held in honor of the
blue jackets of the United States
navy.
A trip to Vallejo, in which 500 men
participated was the feature of to-
days entertainment, and the visiting
sailors were given a glorious reception
by the citizens of that enterprising
little city. At $3.50 this evening the
Grand Army will give a reception to
officers and men at the Dreamland
Rink.

The Daily News learns that a pc
tition is, or soon will be, in circula-
ton, asking that the candidates for
city office make joint canvass of
the city before election day rolls
around
The plan, as the Daily News under

is anticipated that these meetings will
be held some time before the cleo

city at the court house just a little
while before the election.
The gentleman who was speaking of
this plan said that the purpose was to
give each and every candidate a
chance to come before the people and
tell them publicly how he stood on GER
tain important issues that will be sure
to engage the attention of the public
during the municipal campaign, and he

LATE COTTON ~ OKLAHOMA.

\ late bulletin from the experiment
station pt saltwater. Okla. says con
cerniug cotton in this state:
Late planting in the case ot this
crop is not desirable. but it Is inter
cstug to note that the experiment
station has secured fair returns in
eastern Oklahoma by planting cotton
seed AS late as the 9Th of July. The
crop in question was grown during
the yutr 1903, and as several varie.
ties were used in the test, II was pos
sible to obtain some valuable data
concerning the respective strains
The field used for the above work was
given thorough cultivation prior to
planting, and the seeding was done
on July . as indicated. Our best va
riety in this list gave "A yield OF S00.5
pounds OF seed cotton per acre; the
second variety gave a return OF 66i.S
pounds of seed cotton per acre. while
the third made a yield of 1893 pounds
of seed cotton. Early planting will
give much better results one season
with another than late planting. How
ever unfayorable weather conditions
interfere with our plans at times, and
late planting is necessary under such
conditions. 1t would not be a safe
proposition to plant extensive areas
at this season of the year, but In
many cotton fields there are small
sections on which the crop has failed
10 make a showing, and as the stand
over the remaining portion of the
field is comparatively good. we be-
lieve that 1t will pay to replant the
smaller areas, provided the work can
be done Immediately.

The old idea OF making roads
straight is a good one when they can
be made so without sacrificing things
more important than distance. But
the topography Of a wagon road is as
important as that OF railrcnd, and
the grade should have as careful con
sideration. When roads have been
placed so that teams must pull up
and down heavy grades the communl-
ty las lost much. And there is con
stant effort on the part OF land own
ers TO move roads.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1908-07-08

Farmers suffer more than others
from bad roads bad road often
means twice as much work for the
farmer, and sometimes more for his
teams. The team driven with a
heavy load over a bad road is in poor
condition for some days, and one day
of such work does more injury than
several days on the farm. The man
who hauls two bales OF cotton to mar
ket over lad road, when he could
haul five or six over a good road, has
lost something; and his team has not
found anything good.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1908-07-08

Carefulness in buying and in mar
ketlng has much to do with success
In farming. You're doing the proper
thing when you keep yourself informed
as to what things you have to buy
should cost. Many otherwise good
people think that farmers should be
kept in ignorance as 10 where things
they need can be bought and don't
like to sell advertized articles. It's a
pretty safe guess that when an article
is advertised during a long period o
years, it has real merit, If 1t didn't
IL couldn't survive.
