PEOPLE'S.FORUh

We are winding up the year 1910
and We have many reasons to be
thankful in this part of the state,
while We have not had as much rain
fall as We needed, especially for corn
crops, We have made fairly good corn
crops, plenty to do the country and
some to spare, our cotton crop has
surprised every one, and it has been
very agreeable surprise, cotton has
maintained a good price all the fall
and the farmers and business men
alike are rejoicing in the fact that
we have been wonderfully blessed for
which We all feel very thankful in
deed.
We have had two nice rains lately,
and there is now a fine season in the
ground and | hope every farmer will
avail himself of the opportunity to
get busy now at the beginning of the
new year and do all the winter break
ing that Is possible. | had rather
have one good days plowing now
than too days in March, so let every
farmer get busy now and break his
land just as soon as it is possible
for him to do so.
We have plenty of good seed corn
in our district this year. | can fur
nish you the names of farmers who
have all the leading varieties of seed
corn to sell, and also any other kind
of seed you want. We have ordered
a car of pure Mebane cotton seed
for Love county and will order a car
for Carter county. We are proud of ,
the record We made in the boys corn
club this post year, We Won the
grand prize trip to Washington and
now, boys, We want to get busy and
prepare that acre for next year and
10 even better than we did this year.
Il will take more effort to win the
prize this year than 1t did last for
he boys understand the preparation
If the soil and the selection of seed
better than they did last year.
l wish to call attention of the busi-
hess men to the list of prizes being |
offered to stimulate these boys an |
)ther year. The business men were
very nice indeed last year and hope
hat every business man in my dis
rict will see to It that his name goes
IN this list to encourage these boys.
I am sure that every citizen of Car
er and Love county is proud of the

MAY ORDER TAX.
Texas Cattle May Be Taxed BY
Creek Commissioners.

Sapulpa, okla, Dec. 29.-The ef-
forts of Texas cattlemen who bring
their stock to the grazing lands of
Creek county will be thwarted If the
plan to make the owners of cattle
brought in here, pay taxes upon them,
Is successful. The matter is to be
taken up and definite action taken
when the commissioners and asses
sors of the county meet here on Jan
uary Q. Creek county has lost over
$4,000 in delinquent taxes in the
past, most of which resulted from the
non-payment of taxes upon Texas cat
tie.
A suit to recover large amount
in delinquent taxes is pending in the
supreme court which If decided in IA
vor of Creek county will reimburse
the county by many thousands OF dol
lars. The plea heretofore has been
made by the owners of the cattle that
their stock was taxed in Texas. The
commissioners will require that fact
to be established.

Baseball.

Although the Chicago White Sox
finished last season low in percent,
age, there are many persons who fig
ure that they win be a factor in next
years race. After the trade with
Boston had strengthened their infeld
they played some remarkable ball,
and all their new players got ex-
perience which will undoubtedly be
Of great value to them this year.
ShortstOps seem to be signing long
contracts. First the Yankees got
Jack Knights signature TO a contract
calling for three years service, and
now the Phillies have signed Mike
Doolan for the same length Of time.
Tom DAILY is again an employe of
an American league club. Charley
Somers, vice president of the league
and head Of the Cleveland club, has
engaged the former infelder as a
scout for the Maps. Associated with
DAILY will be Bobby Gilks and Sam
Kennedy.
Bugs Raymong is a wonder for
training in winter and taking on
weight in summer. Hard work agrees
with him, but baseball does not. Ev-
cry spring he shows up as 1.-THE as
a greyhound, because he works at
his trade as stereotyper during the
winter. He Is in fine condition now.
Billy Gilbert, who is to manage the
Erie team of the Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania league, is hustling for players.
cir has already rounded up the nuc-
leus of good team. Among these
corralled by Gilbert Is Catcher Muir
ray of Baltimore.
Fans can not seem to get over John
+. Bruce's barney. Bruce recently
stated that in 700 cases heard by the
National commission, the players told
the absolute truth In all but two in
stances. What players stretched it
a bit he does not say. 1t reflects a
heap of credit on the professional ball
player, however, and is a source Of
qualification to the Americans who
have always gloriied the honesty of
the national pastime, in all its
branches, etc.

January 4.
record We made in this direction this
year and now let us pull for better
things for the year of 1911.
Here are some statistics that show
how We have succeeded the past
years. Out of 60 farmers who have
made reports to my office, the general
average of cotton is S12 pounds of
seed cotton per acre. Out of the same
amount reported on corn the average
yield per acre is 29 bushels. Now
this clearly shows a great gain over
the ordinary yield.
We think deep plowing and thor
ough preparation and intensive culti-
vation is responsible for this extra
yield. We can do better another year
and let's do It.
Yours for better farming,

Special Agent.

See that man over there ?" repeated the passenger on the suburban train. That's Unlucky Johnson. At least that Is what he calls himself He hap pens to live out my way.
 Johnson says he used to be a car p6nter, and that once he came near falling from the roof of 8 tall build ing He was at work mailing on shin gles when the support gave way and he began to slide toward the edge.
 Beneath the spot where he would have fallen was pile of jagged rocks left there by the workEaen when they built the foundation.
 While Johnson was slipping toward the rocks and certain death the other workmen on rhe building held their breaths, unable to go to his rescue. Johnson still held in his hand the hatchet with which he had been driv- ing nails, and as he slid down the roof he picked up a spike that had been dropped.
 johnson made a mighty effort to save his life just as he was going over the edge of the roof. Holding the spike in his left hand he aimed a quick blow the roof. He held to it with the blow and the spike kept him there, dangling over the edge of the roof. The other workmen rescued him, but Johnson contended he was unlucky because the nail hurt his hand If he'd been given time to put on a pair of gloves, he said, it would not have been so bad
 AnOther time Johnson was visiting a friends in the country and a cyclone came along. It lifted the house and carried it into the next county, where it was distributed impartially over the landscape Johnson was not even slightly injured, but he complained bit terly about it because he had to walk three miles to the railroad station.
 ''That same summer he was standing
