Spots in State Where Rain Hasn't Fallen for
Eight Weeks While all Around the Rainfall
Has Been Plentiful Guthrie, StilIwater
and Hobart in Throes of Water Famine
Crop Conditions so far are Above
the Average

Guthrie, Okla, July 25.-The most
peculiar weather conditions of years
exists in Oklahoma at the present
time. While greater portion Of the
state has had plenty of rain and crop
prospects in these sections we're never
better, there are small detached
areas in almost every section of the
state which are suffering from drouth.
These conditions are due to the fact
that no general rains have fallen, but
that a great many local showers have
insured big crops in many portions
Of the state, especially upon the east.
Three cities in Oklahoma and the
country Immediately surrounding are
suffering from drouth. They are
Guthrie, Saltwater and Hobart. All
three are suffering from a water
famine.
At Saltwater water consumers
have not been allowed to use water
for sprinkling lawns and gardens for
over month, and yesterday the use
of water for sprinkling the streets
was prohibited. It is estimated that
the city has enough water for fire pro-
lection for two months yet, but trees
are dying in number of places in
the city. A trip nine or ten miles
either way in the country from Still
water will bring one to rain belt
which has apparently encircled the
city and has given the farmers all
about Saltwater bumper crops. The
last rain at saltwater was June 6.
At Guthrie the use of water for
sprinkling lawns and gardens has
been prohibited, and the city water
superintendent has been compelled to
build a dam in the river below the
plant in order to keep enough water
backed up in the stream to fill the
standpipe. The city has two large
wells which are being held in reserve
for an emergency. The last rain at
Guthrie fell eight weeks ago. Notwith-
standing this fact, local showers have
fallen all around Guthrie and vicinity
Many lawns and some Of the shade

CORES ADDRESS
DREW BIG CROWD
Blind Senator Reviews Work Of Re
cent Session of Congress And
Shows Democratic Work.

One of the largest crowds that has
ever gathered to hear political
speech in vinita was that Saturday
night to hear Senator Gore.
The senator arrived from Tulsa Sat
urday evening and left last night for
the north to resume his place on the
chautauqua circuit.
Ex-Congressman James S. Daven-
port acted as chairman of the meet
ing Saturday night, and before the
senator began, Mr.. Davenport intro
duced Chas A. Taylor, the state in
spector and examiner and candidate
for reelection. Mr. Taylor made a
short talk to the people regarding his
candidacy. He was followed by j. H.
Strain, of Wann, who is a candidate
for corporation commissioner. Mr..
Strain is very popular here on account
of his work, as state senator in con-
nection with getting the eastern hos
pital for the insane located here, and
his appearance was the occasion for
an outburst of applause. Following
Mr.. Strain, Senator Gore spoke.
After a few pleasant sallies at the
crowd the blind orator, in his incom-
parable manner delivered one of the
most entertaining and instructive
speeches upon public issues ever
heard here.
Senator Gore was advertised to talk
upon the Grandfather Clause" hut
that only formed secondary topic in
the senator's address He gave a
splendid review of the work of the re-
cent session of congress and highly
praised the stand taken by Senators
Dolliver, Cummins, La Toilette and
others of the progressives in the sem
ate as we'll as Victor Murdock and
his following in the house. The ads
vanced tariff rates was discussed at
considerable length and in closing the
senator spoke of the necessity of
adopting the grandfather clause.
The senator's speech was not radi-
cal and yet was thoroughly demo-
cratic speech and that he made a
good impression here is evidenced by
the many complimentary remarks
heard on the streets since.

THE COW IS REGARDED
AS MANS BEST FRIEND

The dairy COW. il able to express
herself in way which the human fam.
lily would comprehend, might well lay
claim to being mans best friend. She
might establish such a claim by call.
ing attention to the fact that from her
product and from her carcass man
manufacturers more of the necessi-
ties of life than from any other simi-
lar source. She furnishes these ne
|cessities to him from infancy until
such time as temporal things are
no longer associated with his exist
ence, and she does it ungrudgingly
and constantly.
In addition to contributing to mans
necessity and his pleasure, the pros.
Iperity of an agricultural community
is more closely identified with her
than with any other of the domestic
animals. The horse is quite essential
in tilling the soil, but where necessity
requires 1t the sturdy son Of the cow
can take his place, as he has done In
every agricultural section on earth.
The horse can only furnish labor and
can only return profit to his owner
when conditions are right for return
ing satisfactory grain crops. 1t is a
well known fact that the dairy COW
is the salvation Of the farmer in times
of poor crops as she is able to convert
the rough crops which are never a
total failure, into dairy productions
which always have cash value.
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter milk for the
calves, pigs and poultry and fertility
for the soil, without which farm be-
comes less valuable each year and the
whole country less prosperous.
The elimination of the dairy COW
would necessitate an ALMOST revolu.
tionary readjustment OF mans tastes
and requirements. 1t would mean un-
told suffering and hardship. OF course
she will not be dispensed with but
her value can perhaps best be appre-
Iciated by contemplating such loss.
She will continue to be mans best
friend as long as the human family ex-
lists and will keep on supplying him
with his greatest needs just as she
has done through all the ages.

AS result of the difference between

three words. and the special session
which was to last but few hours, was
extended until tomorrow.
