Ardmoreite: Kirk Dyer, who re-
turned a short time ago from Me-
hraska draws a comparison between
Nebraska and Oklahoma that should
be interesting 10 the people Of Carter
county. He says the lands in Nebras-
ka sell for 500 an acre, that they do
not produce more than the lands here
and have not produced so well this
year but the farmers have good homes,
are surrounded with fine stock and
ride in automobiles. Mr.. Dyer says
their prosperity is due to diversified
tion. Every farmer there has milk
check coming each month. Some Of
them receive $50 and as high as $3.50
a month for their milk. He says a
creamery, forage crops and a few good
cows win do for this country what It
has done for Nebraska.
In this connection It win be inter-
esting to know how maps persons are
gathering nerds Of milk cattle in prep
aration for the building here Of a
creamery plant. H. H Brown has a
number or jersey cattle and has an
ideal dairy farm near town and will
contribute toward the support of a
creamery; Felix ]. King makes It a
part of the business of his farm to
raise and sell Jersey cattle and he will
be in a position to begin the sale Of
cream the day tae creamery opens;

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 14.-Attorney
General West has prepared and for

ballot title for the railroad building
constitutional amendment initiated by
resolution Of the 1908 legislature.
This question is one Of the two init
lated by the legislature to be voted on
November 8, and one of the five initi-
ated questions now pending. The
other four are the woman suffrage
amendment, the corporation school tax
amendment, and Senator Russell's
New Jerusalem The latter, how
ever, is generally conceded TO have
been eliminated by the June II capital
election.
The railroad building" amendment
is proposed to alleviate the difficulty
of selling domestic railroads under
the constitution as at present, and
thus stimulate the building Of lines
within the state by promoters or towns

money to build, but have neither the
capital nor inclination to operate AS

CATARRH
4 SYSTEMIC BLOOD DISEASE

Catarrh is not merely an affection
Of the mucous membranes; it is a
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation aud greater part oi
the system are involved. II Is more
commonly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because Of the seusi-
tive nature Of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms Of Ca
tarrh, such as a tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, throat clogged
and dry, hacking cough, etc, show
that the tiny blood vessels Of the mu-
eous membranes are badly congested
and infaned from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure catafrh per-
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cIeaused OF all un-
healthy matter Nothing equals
