Tuesday afternoon, the editor
was the guest of j. G. Trindle, of
the Liberal Auto Supply Co. on a
drive to Gray, Okla. The new E.
M. F. proved to be a good car, in
the hands of an efficient driver,
and the trip was thoroughly en-
joyable. The crops of Beaver
county are looking fine, ana rains
Of from one to five inches have
fallen in the east half of that
county in the past week. The
general reports show that the
acreage of broom-corn is larger
this year than last, and the crop IS
in better shape now than at this
time last season. There will be
quite a lot of Milo maize raised
there this year, and considerable
kaffir. This, with the wheat al
ready harvested, will put the
farmers in the eastern half of
Beaver county in fair shape for
the coming year. The tendency
there seems to be to get away
from the attempt to raise wheat,
and con6ne the work to the rails
ing of stock and spring crops,
such as kafiir, maize and broom
corn, which have shown them
selves to be the surest crops for
that territory in the past five
years.

Gossip of the.


During the past thirty days there
has been quite a difference of opinion
regarding the breeding of the fast
black pacing gelding Sam Berry, owned
by Fred Ballantine. When Mr.. Ballan-
tine purchased the horse he vas repre
sented as being sired by Lynn Bel,
2:10H, but at this time there is a posi-
tive assurance that the horse was sired
by Black Toboggan, a horse once owned
by Pete Herman, of South Orange. 1t APP
pears that the mare, Ethel Burns, was
owned by Lou Peck, and was kept at
his farm at Fan Hills. and at the same
time Mr.. Herman had another mare
running out at the Peck farm.
Ii the spring of 1905 the black
stallion, Black Toboggan, owned by
Mr.. Herman, was bred to both of these
mares, and the Ballantine PAGER was
foaled by Ethel Burns in 1906. In 1909
Mr.. Peck sold the farm property to
Louis Marder. of East Newark, and
all of his horses were sold to Sam
Berry, together with the breeding of
each.
MI. Peck had been breeding his mares
to Lynn Bel and in a book kept for the
purpose he, by mistake, made an entry
in 1906 that the Herman mare and Ethel
Burns had, as usual. been bred to that
horse. This book. together with the
horses, passed into the hands of Sam
Berry, who, of course, had every rea-
son to believe the statements 1t con
tanned were right.
In this way the story that the PAGER,
Sam Berry, was sired by Lynn Bel L.

he is a son of Black Toboggan. This
horse was w~ell-known to local horse
men. While owned by Pete Herman he
had a world of speed and was capable
of pacing a mile in 2:10, yet he was
troubled with bowed tendons and would
not stand a preparation. He was raced
some over Tia local speedway. how
ever, and paced many halves in los.
Black Toboggan was a son of Tobog-
gan he by Clipper Brooks. dam Lady
Leach, by Bayonne Prince.
If Sam Berry was sired by Lynn Bel
he would perhaps be looked upon as a
better bred horse. Yet, judged by what
he has shown up to this time, with very
little work, he is worth all the Lynn
Bells | have ever seen. The majority of
theg get of that horse should have been
sold in punches of ten for about thirty
cents a bunch.

with RUDE Waddell than any other
