The jest pleased Robson Immensely,
for he at once saw the possibility Of a
glorious little dig at his wife. So
when he got home he said:
Mrs. Robson, do you know why l
am like donkeyr
He waited moment, expecting his
wife to give 1t up. But she didn't.

as she answered.:

AGENTS STEAL
VALUABLE TIMBER
Twenty-six Lumbermen Are Indicted
BY Federal Grand Jury Setting
al Muskogee.

Muskogee, okla, Feb. - lndict.
ments against twenty-six representa-
tives of big corporations charging
them with stealing valuable timber
from segregated lands in Oklahoma
were returned by the federal grand
jury here yesterday An additional
indictment was returned against one
person for impersonating a United
States officer in furtherance of the
scheme OF the alleged timber thieves.
The alleged thefts occurred chief.
~ IN the Chotaw Chichasaw and
Seminole nations.
Judge Campbell issued strict ord
ers that no names of the indicted
persons be given out until after they
have been arrested and have either
been committed TO jail or have CIV
en- bonds. Tonight United States
Marshall Grant Victor dispatched ten
deputies on south-bound train TO
arrest the persons indicted, who re.
side chiefly in Leflore, Mccurtain
and Chotaw counties. They will be
brought here Wednesday and requir.
ed TO give bond.
For years the government has been
harrassed by timber thieves repres-
enting big corporations capitalized
In the east which have been stealing
from segregated Indian lands on the
Sugar Loaf, Backbone, Winding Stair
and other mountains millions of dol
lars worth of pine, walnut, oak and
other valuable timber. When the
government inspectors reported the
thefts II has been the custom of the
timber thieves to admit their guilt
and to pay certain amounts into the
treasury of the Indian agency in lieu
of the value of the timber. Then the
thieves would promise not to com.
NIT any more depredations upon the
forests, only to forget their promise,
and there has been continual re-
petition of the offense for years.
Finally the United States district at
torney w. ] Gregg, grew tired OF
this way of handling the thieves and
the indictments returned today re-
suited. Government inspectors have
been deyoting many months to the
collection of evidence.

FARMER REGARDS
WORK AS SCIENCE
Row Sends Sons and Daughters
TO the Best Of Colleges.

Never In the history of agriculture
has there been such a forward move
men on the part Of the farmer and for
the farmer on the part Of state and
nation, as is noted at the present
time. Prosperity for the last decade
has been the constant companion of
the man who clothes and feeds the
nation. All this good fortune that has
fallen to the cause of agriculture has
not come unmerited. Progress has
been made all along the line in solv-
ing the various problems dealing with
the tillage Of the soil and the produc-
tion of bountiful crops.
Educationally. the farmers are not so
far behind their city cousins as one
would naturally think, and If we take
proportiosate numbers into considera.
ton, the farmers are ahead. The
blessings OF modern civilization and
the advantage of up-to-date methods
and labor-saving conveniences are en-
joyed almost as generally by the
country folk as by those living in the
city.
II seems almost needless repetition
to cite how, through the agency OF the
telephone, rural free delivery and in
terurban electric railway the former
isolation of the farmer from the city
has disappeared. All these modern
developments have their influence on
