Acres of Cotton TO Furnish Oklahoma
Socialists Money For 1912.
The Socialists hope to carry Oklaho.
ma in 1912, and they purpose doing 1t
by growing cotton. William Crawford
owns tract Of land near Muskogee.
He has turned over FIVE acres of this
to the Socialists. They have plowed
and planted it to cotton. This work is
contributed free of all cost by the local
Socialists. They will cultivate the
crop, pick and sell it, and the entire
gross receipts will be contributed to
the state campaign fund for the next
election, which will be in 1912.
This plan, which Is being followed
all over the state, is likely to create a
tremendous campaign fund Five acres
of cotton ought to bring $3.50 The
shortage Of funds always has been the
great handicap Of the Socialist party.
But the cotton patch product is not
all. Following the request OF leaders,
individual Socialists where there are nc
local organizations are setting aside the
| gross receipts OF one acre Of land OF
one steer, one hog or some other live
stock which will be sold and the money
| given to the campaign.

he has already been three times around
the world and has walked 10000
miles.
Rath started off without money,
pledged not to beg. He makes his way
selling cards, trinkets or lecturing.
Rath, Who was fourteen years old
when he started. has visited nearly
every country in the world. Leaving
st. Louis, he walked to Mexico, then
to Honduras and Brazil, and then went
to England. When he travels on ship
board Rath must walk twelve hours a
day to fill his contract.
Once in Mexico he was held up by
bandits, he says. When ordered to halt
he shot one man and received a bullet
in the leg This caused him delay
of four~months in a hospital, He tells

Music for the coronation is now en-
gaging the attention of some of the
greatest musicians and band leaders

nucleus Of the orchestra under the d.
rection Of Sir Walter Parratt as mas

enhance the beauty and majesty OF the
coronation solemnity.

used TO the fullest extent.
The cost Of this chronicle will be
comparatively small compared 10 the
price of the volume which was pre-
pared for the same at the GROWING

lavish tome cost 80 guineas. ana Inc
writer of it had to seek the aid OF the
government, which voted him $2o,ooo

more and more reason to believe taat
the forthcoming pageantry Will be the
