Reception

Rev. B. D. Weeks was the guest
of honor at a reception held at the
elegant home of DR.. Tnos. Proctor
on Monday evening of this week.
One hundred and fifty or more of the
friends and admirers of the Rev. Mr.
Weeks were present. The guests
were not limited to members of his
own congregation as his personal
friends in Monroe City are not limit
ed to the followers of any particu
lar creed.
The evening was spent in an ID
formal, social way. Ice cream and
cake were served during the even
ing. The pleasure Of the gathering
was marred only by the regret
which those present had at bidding
their pastor and friend good-by
This was made easier by the fact
that he is leaving Monroe City fol
a broader field of usefulness, and
that while Monroe City loses, he
and Oklahoma City gain.
This farewell reception was given
by the members of the Baptist
church not because of established
custom, but as an expression Of
appreciation for the labors of theiI
pastor and friend. Their regret
that Rev. Mr.. Weeks is leaving
is sincere.

Furs in England Cheaper.

London There is some prospect
of a fall next year in the present
high price of furs.
Presiding the other day at the
annual meeting of the Hudson's
Bay company, Lord Strathcona said
the reports from Canada indicated
that there were evidences of con-
tinued increase in the number of
fur bearing animals, which justified
the anticipation that there would
be a further increase in the present
year in the fur collection which
would be available for 1911.
Any material increase in furs
would have the affect of reducing
the enormously high prices which
had prevailed in the fur market.

Three Ways To Make Land Pay
A living can be made from lar
in these ways:
l. By having much land.
one have much land, and is contei
with a poor living, he may do ii
minimum of work. The surplus
land will make up for the deficiend
of labor. He can let beef-cattle ia
ten on the grass while he loafs. H
can till ever so poorly, and still b
alive at the end of the year.
2-By having less land and work
ing more. Nothing except land an
labor can make crops, and if tn .
land be diminished in area, labo
must be increased both in volum
and in intelligent purpose ThI
man who seeks a living from 4
forty-acre farm can not sit dow
until the beef-cattle fatten them
selves into steaks. He must SOW
and cultivate. He must also have
glimmering of the fact that it is
not well to keep the same crop in
the same field, year after year.
3-By having little land five
or ten acres - and understanding it;
by caring for it as an engineer
would care for a great machine that
he perfectly understood and wanted
to drive to its capacity; by making
up for a efficiency of land with an
abundance OF intelligent labor.
The five or ten acre farm is pre-
cisely as feasible a method of max
ing a living as the eiehty-acre farm
The miniature simply must be
worked in different way 1t must
be devoted to crops into the raising
of which can be packed the labor
and knowledge that alone can com.
pensate for lack of land. Not much
labor can be put into the growing
of small patch of wheat or a few
beef-cattle; there, the small farm
must be devoted to the raising OF
little things that bring big prices;
little things that will not even grow
little unless COddled and teased
Vegetables, berries and fruit require
little land, but much intelligent
labor. They bring good prices
Vegetables, berries and fruit are
therefore, the crops with which any
man can make a small farm as
profitable as he could make thC
largest farm that he could attempt
to till with his own bor.-Allen L
