Grant County.

Renfrow. Okla, July 16.-Threshing
is now very nearly over in northern
Grant county. though some headed
grain is still in the stack. Wheat yield.
ed from five to twenty-five bushels to
the acre with most of it running from
1G to - bushels Oats was generally
fair though not so good as last season.
Oats are selling in the local market
for 40 cents a bushel, while wheat is
bringing rs cents.
Since the rains OF last week the
corn in this section is looking well and
is making a rapid growth. Some of
the earlier planting was damaged by
the hot weather of last month, but Ia
ken as a whole there is an excellent
prospect for a corn crop this fall, pro
viding that occasional rains fall be
tween now and the first of September.
A number of farmers in this section
have planted cotton this season as an
experiment and all report it looking
well and growing rapidly; much of it
now in bloom and those who have had
experience in cotton growing state
that they feel confident there will be
good yield Kaffir and other cane
crops are in excellent shape, but prai-
rie grass has been injured some by
the dry weather. Generally speaking
the outlook for the farmer is rather
better than usual, as he practically is
sure of enough feed to carry his stock
through the winter even if the corn
should fail to make crop.

Summer School of Religion.

Madison. Wis, July 17.-Following
the summer school of ethics conduct
ed here by the American Ethical
Union. which was violently criticised
in some quarters as having been ma
terialistic and rationalistic, a summer
school of religion was opened today
in the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation building of the University OF
Wisconsin. The school is designed
for pastors and church workers of all
denominations, both men and women,
as well as for summer students who
are Interested in religious work Ap-
piled Christianity and church work
in rural districts will be the chief
topics OF discussion during the school,
which will continue to July 2S. Some
Of the ministers in attendance at
the school look upon it as affording
an opportunity to counteract the in
fluence of the school of ethics closed
last week, declaring that the ethics
taught were agnostic rather than
Christian.

THE OLD PIPE is POISON.
A London Physician Says Smoking
is Very Dangerous.

Every man who prides himself on
the possession of one or more good
old tobacco pipes which he has
smoked for years, colored to his en-
tire satisfaction and grown quite
attached to, will be surprised and
grieyed to learn that if he values
his health he had better throw
those old pipes away and buy new
ones. According to J. ID. Reckitt, NJ.
d., of London, old and deeply co!ored
pipes are dangerous. They cause dys-
pnoe, in other words, labored, diff
ficult breathing and asthma, all due
to the nicotine poison with which
the bowl and stem of the pipe be-
come saturated.
IN explaining Just what happens
when smoking an old pipe, Doctor
Recllitt says that the action of the
nicotine on The heart causes sort
Of air hunger. The respiration center
is over stimulated in consequence of
the want of tone in the first beat
of the heart. 1t also seems evident,
he says, that the smoking of an old
pipe saturated with icmcent grated
nicotine and tobacco juices OF many
years standing is the means of in
PRODUCING into the system such a
continuous amount of the poison
daily that it indirectly, through its
action on the heart, affects the smok-
ers' respiration, causing inspiratory
dyspnoea.
The symptoms are easily detected.

In these days of almost universal
tobacco smoking" Doctor Reckitt
says, 1T is we'll to bear in mind
that an alarming condition of dys
pnoea may attend the unconscious
use Of the drug, Though the person
or persons so affected by it may not
admit its extravagant use, it may be

IT'S TRUE, AND
PITY IT'S, IT'S TRUE
WAYSlDE INN MISSION FORCED
TO CLOSE FOR LACK OF FUNDS
-cHRISTIAN MEN!

The Wayside Inn Mission Is lorceu
to close its doors for the want OF
funds to pay the necessary expenses
and it is quite evident from 1ha'
fact that Ardmore does not want a
mission now. notwithstanding the
evident need for mission work. The
manager of course feels grateful to
tho few who have contributed to-
wards making the mission permanent
and thanks the Daily Ardmoreite for
its kind words of encouragement
The managers disappointment is not
a surprise and possibly the forced
closing of the mission is a bless
ing in disguise and the labor to
establish me Inn is Loves Labor
Lost" and those who have contributed
can feel so too. The sea is not eN-
haus,ed of good fish, there is room
vet for the mission, and there are
some here who may yet be glad TO
have a room in the Inn. The more
or greater the need the less appre-
citation, some times, some places,
with some individuals. But the Inn
is duly grateful and appreciative, and
the few good fellows who have
helped the manager are the kind that
live and let live and may their
shadows never grow less is the wish
OF the manager. The closing of the
doors of the Inn is merely forced
suspension during the present hard
times, and the mission will be opened
ND and carried on when money mat
ters will allow. SO don't anyone think
the manager is dead. No, no, only re-
tired for awhile.
Respectfully yours, to appear again,

It's a Useful Catch Crop--Can Be
Planted Up to July 20
A great many inquiries have been
received at the Agricultural college
from farmers whose wheat or oats or
barley or other crops have failed be-
cause of the drouth. These inquirers
ask for advice as to what to plant.
Prof. Iardne advises that cowpeas,
probably are best suited to this pur-
pose in eastern Kansas, where mois-
ture conditions are the most favor
able Planted any time between now
and July 20. provided soil conditions
are right, the crop should make seed
before frost if desirable, Cowpeas
make excellent forage, fine pasturage,
or will produce an abundance of green
manure stuff. The New Era variety
is the best kind to plant because 1t
natures earlier.
Farmers should be careful to get
their seed from responsible seed
houses. They probably can get it for
from $3.50 to SO a bushel One bushel
to the acre should be used If sowed
broadcast for hay or green manure, or
one peck TO the acre if planted with
the corn planter for seed. Cowpeas
can be planted on land now infested
with chinch bugs, as the peas are not
subject to the attacks of this insect

THE GREATER STATE
FAIR FOR 1911
The One Occasion and Place
for Everyone to Meet.
ELABORATE PLANS MADE
The Railroads Offer Special Rates,
Fine Attractions. Everything from
Side Shows to Aeroplane Flights.

Columbia, October 10th, Special
The next event of Statewide import
nnce is the State Fair, which is to be
held in Columbia, beginning October
80th and ending November 3rd.
For more than forty years-two
generations-th has been the one
event in which all the people Of the
State have joined. In previous years
1t has not been so much the exhibits
that have attracted the people from
every part of the State as 1t has been
the community of interests, so to
speak, of the people Of this State.
There has been q general desire on
the part Of the people in one part Of
Carolina to meet and know more OF
the people in other sections and that
is why they have come to the State
Fair. Families have scattered and
more people can be met in Columbia
during the State Fair than any one
other place In the same time and that
Is the primary cause of the growing
success Of the State Fair. AS the
State has prospered so has the Fair
in its exhibits. Year by year better
cattle and better stock have come into
South Carolina and it Is at the State
Fair that much Of this enthusiasm Is
spread by the exhibition and sale Of
that which Is best In cattle, stock,
poultry and labor saving machinery.
President J. Arthur Banks. a sue
eessful business man from ST. Mat
thews, who Is now President Of the
Association, and Secretary ]. M. Can
tey are emphasizing these features Of
the exhibits and the applications for
space already indicate all the exhibits
that can be housed will be in Colum-
bia.
The Fair Association has recently
bought large steel frame structure
which 1t Is hoped will be in readiness
for use for the approaching Fair.
For those who like racing there will
be fine horse races and to keep in
thorough touch with the modern pace
fine automobile races will be run.
On two days Of the week there will
be fine football games; on Thursday
of Fair Week the Carolina Clemson
game Is scheduled.
Special attractions will be provided
ut the State Fair each night of Fair
Week.
President Banks has contracted to
have q modern aeroplane make two
flights each day and this ought to be
Il great attraction for those who have
not yet seen this modern wonder.
The railroads being In thorough ac-
Eord with the ideas and purposes Of
The State Fair have announced espe-
rially low rates for the round trip
from all points. and those who do not
come to Columbia for the State Fair
to catch the political pulse, or to see
their cousins or sweethearts will have
ample to see In the 1911 exhibits
that will be provided. and which
promise to be finer and more worth
studying than eyer before.
