No One Can Boost
That is Jealous

An exchange says NO man can
be a true booster who is selfish.
Nor can one be a booster who har-
bOrs petty jealousies and cannot re-
joice in the success and prosperity
OF his neighbor or competitor Nor
can one who bears malice be a sin
cere booster, for malice is the prop
erty OF small SOU, and a small
soul has no place in the big things
OF this life. We may proclaim our
selves boosters. We may join the
ranks Of a booster club and wear z
booster button, yet by our acts shall
We be known. and until petty jeal-
ousy, envy and selfishness-those
things, should they exist, that tend
to warp and shriyel mems souls-are
eliminated and substituted by un-
selfish thoughts and a feeling of good
will toward each other We cannot
hope TO succeed Men may meet and
feast together, they may talk OF
things that will benefit the city and
community, and, while such meetings
are always beneficial and instructive
to IA certain extent, yet it is the acts
OF men that produce results"

Farm Education for
the Youths

Dr. J. H. Connell, president OF the
A and NJ College at Sti-lwater
writes the following:
Il want 10 most heartily endorse
the movement inaugurated in this
state for the purpose OF developing
among the girls and boys of Oklaho-
ma a stronger inclination toward ag-
ricu.tural pursuits. The agricultural
club movement is one that should re-
ceiye the hearty support OF every
citizen OF the state interested in its
growth and development The agri-
cultural interests are paramount, and
are the basis upon which must rest
our prosperity. The movement can
not be too highly commended. and
beginning with the boys and girls
is certainly beginning at the foun-
dation. and the results flowing out
OF these clubs are already apparent
in the state. If the movement is
continued in the future, it viii mean
more intelligent farming and more
profitable returns.
The boys and girls engaged in
this endeavor are 10 be congratulated
upon the true Oklahoma spirit they
are displaying, and which will cul-
inmate in such splendid returns to
our state. They are doing a work
that will yield its returns in dollars
and cents when they have grown to
manhood and womanhood, but will
yield to them a still richer return
in the consciousness of having per.
formed a work of worth for the
state"

Carter County
Won the
Corn Prize
Farmer Felix X. West Tells
of the Great Producing g
County.

Carter county is a banner county
Tor corn which, on an average, pro
duCes 80 bushels per acre. Almost
every farmer raises corn and over 40
per cent of the land is the county is
planted in corn, large per centage
in cotton and just small per cent in
alfalfa. In the southeast portion there
are many fields of alfalfa. The land
in the Caddo river bottoms that run
through the central part of the county
are exceptionally fine for alfalfa
fields. This county is a banner hog
producing place and they do fine in
every part of the county Our farm
ers bank account is always swelled
from this source of income. Carter
county's soil is we'll adapted for all
kinds of fruit, especially peaches,
plums pears and grapes, also black
berries, strawberries and dewberries.
Plenty of watermelons. weighing 60
to Is pounds, and pumpkins, weighing
100 pounds. are sold every year.
Farmer Felix X. West, who resides
a few miles east of Ardmore on Will
son creek in Carter county, won the
prize at the International Corn Show
il Columbus, Ohio. This corn was
raised on land that cost $3.50 an
acre, 1t was not irrigated nor fer
tilted, and 50 bushels We're raised TO
the acre and 100 ears weighed out
two bushels and eight pounds. This
is another big victory for corn grow
ing in southern Oklahoma. This land
after deducting reasonable wages for
made more than twice the
cost OF the land in one crop. Lands
that are selling in this country from
ten to fifteen dollars an acre are
worth one hundred dollars and will
produce crops that will pay good in
terest on that investment. There are
hundreds of acres in the county in its
virgin state that will produce corn
as good as the prize winner.

Forty-one boats let the harbor that

they went away. In a few hours the

far from the harbor. They had no re-

SUNDAYS SERMON

Following is tie sermon of Rev S.
A. Webber at st. James NJ. E. church
last Sunday evening:
Mum. 35-11. Then ye shall appoint
you cities to he cities of refuge, for
You that the slayer may flee thither
when he kil.eth any person at un-
awares."
God commanded Israel that they
should sst apart six cities. three on
Canaars side. aad three across the
river; to be Cities OF Refuge. that
the slayer who had killed any per-
son at unawares, might flee thither
where he would have an impartial
trial before the congregation. II the
manslayer were found guilty of pre-
meditated and wi'ful murder. the
murderer had to te put to death.
There was no escape.
The ayenger Of blood was the near
est OF kin to the slain. 1t was his
duty to avenge the death Of his kim
dred who had been murdered. II he
overlook the murderer before he
reached the city Of refuge. he might
slay him and be gui.t,ess before the
law. himself. II he who had slain
another reached the City of Refuge.
the elders met him at the gate, and
admitted him into tie city. II the
manslayer were not guilty OF pre-
meditated murder. when he was tried
he must remain in the City of Re-
fuge until the death of the man who
was High Priest at the time of his
admission to the city. II during this
time the avenger caught him outside
the city walls. he might slay him and
be guiltless. At the death OF the High
Priest the manslayer might return to
his people an inheritance.
Each OF these cites was placed on
an eminence that 1t might be easily
seen from far. Straight roads, kept
in good repair, lei to the city.
Guideboards were placed along the
roads pointing the way. Everything
was done to assist the slayer to
reach the city. that he might receive
fair trial. II not guilty, he was
protected and saved. II guilty, the
punishment was certain. II We study
carefully this story Of Israel's deal
ing with murdcrers, am suro we
will find ourselves asking II we have
made any progress. in the method Of
dealing with murderers. since that
day.

about another refuge. 1t is the re-
fuge for the man and the woman
who have sinned against almighty
God, and brought themselves under
the condemnation Of the law that
said, THE soul that sinneth shall
surely die" 1t is the refuge provid.
ed for the man who through sin has
become guilty before God.
1t matters little how much we talk
about 1t or endeavor to convince our
selves that our crime of sin ought
to be laid at some other persons
door, the fact remains, that the life
on earth is lie Of battle, and 1t
is very largely made up of victories
and defeats. Since man went forth
from Eden, to eat bread in the sweat
OF his face, Gods words have been
literally true. "In sorrow shalt thou
eat of it all the days of thy lffe."
need not talk tonight of the tree Of
knowledge Of coed and evil; but ever
since the time, when the mists were
rolled away and man saw for the
first time a Path OF Righteousness
and path Of sin. the Way Of obed-
ience and the way Of transgression.
He has heard two voices, the one
calling him to righteousness. the 9TH
er dcceiving him with promises OF
security and rest where only turmoil
and unrest are to be found. Man is
a storm-tossed mariner on life's great
sea. No man has lived to the years
of maturity but has learned that he
needs a place of refuge.
need not come to this book to
learn OF 1t. A thousand weeping
mothers, grey prison walls, white
tombstones. and death-bed scenes
all teach us that the lot Of fallen
man is such that he needs a place
of refuge. / have come to regard tho
shedding of tears and the making Of
human hearts mellow with sorrow. as
part OF Gods great plan to teach
sinful man his need OF place Of re.
fuge. The poet has placed the
thought In beautiful language in our
familiar hymn:
There is a place where Jesus sheds
The oil Of gladr ess on our heads,
A place than all beside more sweet,
It Is the blood bought mercy seat"
This place Of refuge Is behind the
cross with its hallowed blood. When.
ever tho artist pictures the Rock Of
Ages" he plants the cross Upon a
rock. It is only the rock with the
cross upon 1t. that may be called
the Rock OF Ages.
need not now enter into any ar.
gument to prove that men are sin.
ners and need refuge. The very
fact that men Of every nation have
sought some means to rid thom.
selves Of the unrest that comes as
result Of sin, is evidence that
should convince us that men every.
where know that they are sinners.
