HASKELL SEES
a CONSPIRACY
IN INDICTMENTS
OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR MAKES SEN
SATIONAL CHARGES AGAINST
FEDERAL OFFICERS.
WANTS TRUE BILL QUASHED.
Declares Five Grand Jurors Acted with
Government Attorney in lntlml-
dating Their Colleagues
DENIES FRAUD IN LAND CASES.

MUSKOGEE, Okla. Aug. lG.-Attor-
nrys for GOV. Charles \. Haskell and
the five other defendants, indicted in
connection with the alleged Muskogee
town lot frauds, today filed motions N
the federal court TO Quash the indict-
meuts, setting forth Il number Of sensa-
tioual allegations
Aside from charges against FIVE grand
jurors and the allegation Of improper
conduct on the part Of United States
Marshal Grant Victor, the allegations
deal largely with the grand jury's seIec,
lion. which has especial objection to the
exclusion Of MuskoCee county, the home
OF the dcfcndants from the territory
from which the jury was chosen.
Calls 1t Conspiracy.
1t is alleged that George w. Strawn,
j. II. Dixon, }. {. Burgess, A. c. Du-
mas and W +. Bailey, members of the
grand jury which indicted the defend
ants, deliberately sought to go on that
jury with view to returning indict-
ments, that StrHwn. as foreman. con
spired to ntmidate the other jur-
they had refused 10 do so. The
motion insists that Foreman Strawn
repeatedly told the jurors that they prob
ably would be charged with perjury if
they failed to indict and at one time.
when the ballot stood : to =, he called
for IN open vote 50 hc would know who
should be prosecuted. 1t is alleged that
out of eight talesmen selected. seven
were partisan Republicans and the
eighth Il bitter personal enemy of Gov.
Haskell. GOV. Haskell is Il Democrat.
After pointing out numerous tcchni-
caties in the manner and time of the
grand iury's selection, the motion de-
cIarcs there was no evidence presented
to show Il conspiracy and all of its de-
partmcnts in the Indian territory were
fully aware Of how the lots were sChed-
urd and that no objection was raised,
Indicted on May l.
The six defendants were indicted by
The federal grand jury at Tulsa, Ok,
on May -, charged with obtaining titles
for the government to town lots in Mus
kogcc by Illegal methods. The five CO.
defendants Of Gov. Haskell, all wealthy
and prominent citizens Of Oklahoma. are
G. ". Turner, A. English w. Il. Eaton
w +. Ilutchins and +. X. Sewers.
Cos. Haskell ana six other defendants
had previously been indicted on the same
charge, but on April no. last, Federal
Judge John \. Marshall Of Utah upheld
a motion for the defendants to quash the
indictments. The indictments were
quashed on technical grounds.

SEPARATORs AND CALVES

There is no doubt but that calves do
exceedingly well on separated milk.
The calf that sucks the COW will do
well until weaving time comes, but the
calf that gets it's warm fresh, sep
arated milk will flourish the whole year
round. For the sake of few more
pounds of butter the calf is often
starved to gaunty, unsightly little
dwarf and never comes to maturity
and is always poor property to its
owner. BY allowing it fresh, warm
milk from the separator you will have
big, strong calf in such a condition
that will give the best results for the
extra care and labor, the same as other
stock kept in thriving condition.
Sweet SKINNED milk makes bone and
sinew for the calf. We are looking
after the calf that is to be raised to
maturity and there are cheaper foods
than 25-cent butter fat upon which to
raise calves. That is, buy centrifu-
| gal cream separators, if you do not
have one already, and feed your calves
the milk as soon as run through the
separator, While it yet contains the
animal heat and in the condition just
| suited to the needs of the calf. We be-
lieve that every farmer who keeps from
three to ten good cows and wishes tc
grow good calves will find it to his ad-
vantage to buy good cream separator
and use it intelligently.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING

The first English bushel measure was
fixed at eight gallons of wheat during
the reign OF Henry VIII. The bushel
now legal was regulated by parliament
in 1924 and is the same in the United
States.
Butter is never used by the Greeks,
Romans or Chinese, oil being preferred.
In Africa, at Kebba, vegetable butter is
made from the fruit of the shea tree
and is said to be of richer taste than
any butter made from cows milk.
When mourning for their dead the
fsraelites neither washed nor anointed
themselves. Greeks and Romans tasted.
In Europe they wear black, in China
white, in Turkey violet and in Ethiopia
brown.
Cattle were first brought to America
by Columbus on his second VOYAGE
Tobacco was introduced into England
by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1886. Pota-
toes were also carried to England by
Raleigh.
Wedding rings were first used by the
ancients and put upon the third finger
of the left hand, from a supposed con
nection of a vein there with the heart

rings in England are of standard GOLD

GLOVER ON SANDY LOAN
Especially Valuable as a Rota.,
ton Crop and Will Grow
Nearly Everywhere.
BY c. M. MILLER.

A farmer in Sedgwick county, Kan
sas, who says he is afraid to try al
falfa because some of his neighbors
have not been successful with 1t, wants
to know whether clover would not liz
better on his soil. which he describes
as a good black loan, "a little sandy"
II have never tried clover" he writes
but l notice that it grows in places
along the roads in the vicinity of my
| farm"
There can be no doubt that clover
will do well on good black loan, a
little sandy because the growth OF
vagrant clover alongside proves that
| the proper bacteria are present in the
soil.
Clover is a great crop for rota-
ton, and we suggest the following:
Corn wheat and clover; or, when II
Is desired to grow cash or market
crop, such as potatoes, beans and cab
bage, the rotation may be heightened,
and the crop will thus receive the
benefits from the rotation and be han
died with the same labor and teams
4 required to perform the general farm
work, thus decreasing the cost of pro-
duction and eliminating the fertilizer
bills.
i Glover sould be grown every third
or fourth year; or, where this CROP
fails, some other legume should be
| utilized. OF all the plants with which
, we are acquainted clover seems to be
endowed with power to recuperate
! soil more than others.
1t Is superior to other grasses be-
cause it sends It's roots down deeper,
: thus feeding upon mineral and vege-
! table substances in the soil that are
4 out of reach of the surface feeding
A plants 1t also increases the nitrogen
e and humus content of the soil and is
an excellent food for all kinds of live
stock.
. There is no forage crop, excepting
alfalfa, that possesses as many valu-
able qualities as our common red
: clover. All ruminants prefer it to
= other hay.
= Glover thrives on almost all forms
Il of soil and it Is especially valuable
: on sandy soil, as it draws it's nourish-
ment from the subsoil and from the
"a atmosphere and brings back to the
a Lsurface many soluble elements of fer
h tility that have been washed dowr
10 through the soil by teaching.
Alfalfa ought to grow we'll on thi
-: Kansas farm and simply because SOM
in other farmers have not succeeded witt
"a 1T is no reason why our young frien
should not try it. Sow on high or roll

MAKE BUTTER FREE FROM sTREAKs

To prevent the streaks in butter,
which are SO annoying to dairymen
who sometimes experience this trouble,
the butter should be taken from the
churn when it is in the form of small
grains not larger than buckwheat kerr
nels. =.
The buttermil1 should then be
strained off and clear water, fresh and
cold, poured on the product through
strainer until the water runs quite
clear of buttermilk.
Then put the butter in bowl OF
worker and spread it sufficiently thir
so that fine pure salt may be sprinklet
evenly over it.
Turn in the edges and press the but.
ter without drawing the ladle over 1t
but simply pressing it to get out the
surplus water, and cut it in pieces witt
the edge of the ladle.
Pour off whatever water runs from
it, then cover with clean cloth AND
