When Dreams Come True.

An Irishman and a Scotchman once
went travelling through a Western
prairie. 1t happened that one after
noon they shot a single quail, which
would do for breakfast for one OF
them on the following morning. Know
ing that the bird was not enough for
two, they agreed to have it eaten
by the one who should have the best
dream during the night.
When they woke early in the
morning the Irishman said to the
Scotchman: AN phwat did you dr.

SENATOR'S R|LED
At LEO BENNETT
PUNISHMENT MAY BE METED
OUT TO HIM FOR RECENTLY
PUBLISHED REMARK.

Despite the apparent willingness of
the senate investigating committee to
accept the statement of Dr. Leo Ben
nett, that he intended no reflection
on any member OF the senate in the
graft statement recently published
over his signature, it seems highly
probable that the incident is not yet
closed. It seems to be the general
consensus of opinion that the matter
will be thoroughly threshed out, and
every detail OF the statement raked
ever.
The matter was the chief topic OIL
discussion among the senators both on
Saturday night and Sunday. and it
now seems certain that the matter
will be brought up in open senate Mon
day, at which time efforts will be
made to secure action by the senate
demanding that DR.. Bennett either
make a public apology, or that he be
cited before the bar of the senate for
contempt and sent to Jail for the re-
mainder of the session.
1t is not possible for the sentence,
in case there is one passed, to extend
beyond the limits of the present ses-
sion, but judging from the talk of the
senators steps will be taken to bring
the matter before the open senate

Infallable Remedies.
With all the remedies afloat,
To jar the edges from a cold,
To get, as slangsters say, its goat;
To loosen up its strangle hold,
It seems as though there shouldn't be,
A single solitary one
At large or running wild and free
Beneath the moonlight or the sun
Most every person that you meet;
A grandma, uncle or a niece,
A perfect stranger on the street,
A hackman, one of the police,
Can show the way to knock it off;
He knows for he has never failed,
To see stubborn, nagging cough
By his time tried prescription nailed.
One has a certain kind of tea,
Another puts you in a sweat,
A friend with powders would be free,
On plllS anOtner one is set,
External rubbings some apply,
Some stand by the internal cure
Faith you are asked by one to try
From each results are wondrous sure.
Yes, all are certain of success,
1t cured them, could there be a doubt
That in your case it would do less,
So take your time and try them out.
OF course you wonder to be sure
Though you have not the heart to
twit,
If theirs is such a perfect cure,
Why they should have coughing fit.

Oklahoma City, Okla, March A.
The senate committee named to in
quire into the statement of DR.. Leo
e. Bennett of Muskogee regarding the
alleged expenditure of $500 by a sena-
tor during the special session and con-
Meeting with it statement about a
proposed state appropriation of ST..
100000 for capitol building was in
session for an hour and a half tonight,
with DR.. Bennett on the stand.
The witness is a member of the
state capitol commission appointed by
Gov. Haskell. He admitted that the
statement as imputed to him by the
Muskogee Phoenix and the Tulsa
Democrat was in part as he had au-
thorized, but that he had done so pure
ly from hearsay.
Asked to whom he referred, DR..
Bennett stated that it was Senator
Franklin of Madill and when pressed
for a reason for so doing, answered
that he had been told that Senator
Franklin made certain expenditures
here in Oklahoma City, and that mas
much as Senator Franklin has been
active in state capital matters, he as
sumed that he (Franklin- knew why
Oklahoma City had failed to make
good in its proposition to the state
and why it was necessary for the
state to now make an appropriation to
build a capitol.
DO | understand that you disavow
any intention now of reflecting upon
the honor or integrity of Senator
franklin" asked Senator Potter, one.
Of the committee.
Yes, sir, do" replied DR.. Bennett.
And had not at the time of making
the statement any intention of charg-
ing Senator Franklin with corrupt
practices?"
Il did not" he replied. DR.. Bennett
continued that he had no intention of
upon other senators, in fact,
he had known some of them for 20
years and had perfect confidence in
heir integrity.
Senator Franklin told the commit
ee that he made purchases in Ok
ahoma City just prior to the holidays
n an amount in excess of $500, which
vas for his home in Madill. These
consisted of bric-a-brac, carved wood,
apestries and a little china, but no
ace, as had been charged. Other SEN
tors made similar purchases, and the
act was freely talked about in the
enate chamber and hotel lobbies.

PRIMITIVE METHODS USED

The estimate for this years wheat
crop in the State of Sonora Is $4,000
bushels. The entire crop is ground in
mills in the State, but the flour pro-
duced is not sufficient for the needs Of
the people, as the importation of -four
for the year ending June 80, 1911, was
which was imported from. the United
States.
A large part of the Sonora wheat
crop, however, is planted and harvest =
ed by primitive methods, which are
partly necessary, owing to the fact
that much of the wheat is raised in
small patches Of one or two acres in
the narrow valleys along the streams
where irrigation is possible
The land is usually we'll irrigated,
then plowed deeply and the wheat
sown broadcast by hand and plowed in
with small one horse plow. The
ground is then leveled by dragging
brush over it. On the larger estates
a wheat drill is used.
The best time for planting wheat is
considered to be in December, al
though some is sown in January. In
June the wheat is harvested, much of
it being cut with a small hand scythe,
such as is used in the United States
for cutting weeds in fence corners
In many parts of this State the
wheat is threshed in the following
manner: A pit is dug thirty or forty
feet in diameter and one or two feet
deep. The bottom of this pit is mixed
with water and worked by tramping
until it becomes smooth, as in making
adobe bricks. The bottom of this pit is
then left until it has hardened in the
sun. The wheat is thrown in and the
grain trodden out by driving horses or
burros around in the pit. The wheat
is cleaned by throwing it up in the
wind, which blows away the chaff,
while the wheat falls on a sheet or
blanket. This wheat is bought by the
local -four mills at 31a to cents
American currency per kilo (22
pounds).
While many thousands of bushels of
wheat are threshed in this primitive
way, the introduction of modern
thceshing machines will be delayed
until more railroads are built, as
there regions are distant from the
railroad in mountainous regions.
where the transportation of heavy
threshng machinery is impracticable.
