OF the counties which have had
the acre tax reduced, Latah, Lemhi
and Owyhee have special features
which caused the reduction. Latah
raises $45,37O less in 1912 than
was raised I'm 1911. Most of this y
saved in the warrant redemption
fund, When the amount raised last
year was $3S, 700 as against nothing
this year. In Lemhi land valuations
were lower this year than last, the
road levy was reduced 10 per cent
Owyhee was preventing from raising
more money b. the operation Of
the new law. She has been rum
ming without funds for the past two
quarters and can raise only $17,-
2S5 for current expense as against
$25.450 last year. Her school tax
is less by $4,000 than last year.

NOW UP TO THE TOWNS.

THE great mistake of Oklahoma was
in building its towns before building
the country to support them. Ii is
now up to the towns to build the sur
rounding country
The above remarks were made Oy
n M. Coltrell agricultural commits
soner of the Rock Island railway 10
the commercial men of El Reno and
no one can dispute that great deal
of truth was contained in the words
Oklahoma. like all new states or
territories, has run largely to towns
in advance of the development of the
agricultural resources of the surround
ing country to which all towns ulti-
mately have to look for their sup
port When any new country is open
ed-comes TO the public for settlement
history shows that the class who
earn their living by other means than
agricultural pursuits lead in the
scramble for place. The butcher, the
baker. the candlestick maker" the
seller cf calico the dealer in grocer
les and the real estate faker all come
in advance of the man who tills the
soil Result--the people OF half the
towns in the state OF Oklahoma are
today living off each other, while the
small dealers in merchandise are
scratching their heads in an effort
to pay store rent and make both ends
meet and the real estate CRATER is
kept spinning his web for the incom-
ing fly.

WOULD HAVE COUNTY AGENTS.
Secretary of Commercial Club Draft
ina Bill Similar to Texas Statute.

Judge Felix X. West, secretary Of
the Ardmore Commercial club, is
engaged in drafting bill to be
introduced at the next session of
the Oklahoma legislature which will
provide for the state to employ ag-
ricultural agents in its different
counties.
Judge West stated to an Ardmore-
ite representative this morning that
a number Of states already have
such laws, making provision for the
appointment of demonstration agents
and for their pay. In those states
where such agents are provided for,
Judge West says the federal gov
ernment pays half the salary of the
agents so appointed: the state the
other half. These agents act in
conjunction with the state federal
agent who is paid in full by the
United States government agricul-
tural department
The bill will be prepared along
the same lines and contain the same
provisions that are to be found in
the laws now in force covering such
state or county agents, in the states
of Texas and Arkansas. After the
preparation of the bill, Judge West
will have a sufficient number of
copies printed to mail copy to
the secretary of every commercial
club in the state, together with a
letter asking their cooperation in
securing the enactment of the bill
into a law.

iZation of the facts in the case anu
get busy in a united effort which Will
hiring farmers here from older states
from states where lands not half as
good as ae Oklahoma lands sell for
from two to three times the price
asked for our lands-when the people
all the people of all the towns get
together and pull together in the In
terests of the development of the tens
of thousands of acres of rich virgin
soil by which they are surrounded,
when the vacant lands Of today are
supplanted by the cultivated fields
of tomorrow, then Oklahoma VIII
come in her own as the greatest agrl-
cultural state in the union. When
tens of thousands of farmers VIII
drive into the towns Of this state ev-
cry day in the week. in wagons loaded
with the products Of the soil then and
not till then will the mushroom towns
Of the new state" give way to the
little cities of healthy growth and
lasting life
1T is up to the towns to build the
surrounding country" And it is mp
to them to do it without outside as
sistance. When the railroads see that
the towns are building up the coun
try, when the railroads do something
in the line of helping, then, and not
till then, may the people of the towns
of the country expect assistance
from that quarter. Mr.. Cottrell has
said as much by implication. In the
matter OF country building, the towns
Of Oklahoma will have to bear in mind |
the fable of the meadow lark aud her
brood and the farmer and his sons.
SO long as the old gentleman and his |
sons were content to await the help |
of relatives and neighbors in the mat
ter of harvesting their grain, just so
long did the old lady bird know that |
she and her brood would remain un-
disturbed in their nest But when he
GOT a rustic on himself and pulled the |
boys out to help in the harvest, she !
knew that it was moving time right |
now.
The Commercial club of Ardmore
has gotten busy on the proposition OF
developing the country by which this
city is surrounded. This club has
spent hundreds of dollars in the past |
few months in an advertising crusade
for this section. What fruits this
advertising will bear remains for ultl-
mate results to tell but there can be
no question but that il was step
taken in the right direction and one
well worthy the emulation Of the com
mercial organizations of other cities
and towns of this state. Would it
not be advisable, then, for all the live
wire municipalities of the state to get
together in a united advertising cru
sade-in a campaign to bring the farm
ers. the home builders and the town
and state builders here to plow our
fields. TO raise crops and to increase
the prosperity of all?

$4,000 Offered
BY One Man TO
Aid New Hotter

Mr.. w. w. Linzy, of Birmingham,
Ala, travelling salesman who was
formerly in the hotel business, called
on Mr.. 7. w. Read Tuesday in the
course of his business visit. Being a
hotel man he naturally was inquisitive
about Marietta not having an up-to-
date hostelry and learning that funds
were being raised to build hotel here
he volunteered to take financial in
terest in the venture. He was so much
interested and so confident of the sue
cess a hotel would meet in Marietta
that he waited for Mr.. Read to locate
Mr.. Morgan McNeel and Mr.. j. T. An
derson and talk the matter over with
them.
When he learned of the plans that
are being formulated he Immediately
agreed to take $4,000 stock in the com
pany and take the management of the
hotel. His offer is being considered by
the committee that is raising the funds
but it is thought that some one can be
found who will put more money into
the business.
Mr.. Linzy said he could put in more
money himself but that he thought
thirty or thirty five thousand dollars
would be sufficient capital. The com
mittee thought differently however,
and will continue it's effort to raise the
$50, 900 to build the hotel that they
have started out to build-a strictly
first class one.
Every business man that has been
approached on the subject has either
agreed to take stock or to contribute
several hundred dollars to aid the COM
pany in the event all the stock is not
subscribed for.
The committee is greatly encouraged
with the spontaneous enthusiasm and
support with which they are meeting
and the members are confident that
they will soon be able to get down to
definite plans.

Primary Choice
In Second Race

James G. Woodward, twice mayor
of Atlanta, was renominated for that
office Tuesday in the run off, pri-
mary, defeating Aldine Chambers by
majority of TIT votes.
In the first primary there were four
candidates, James G. Woodward, AL
dine Chambers, DR.. George Brown and
Steve Johnston. Mr.. Woodward led by
nearly 600 votes over the second high
man, but as he failed to receive ma
jority these two ran the race over
again.
Mr.. Woodward's total vote in the
run off Tuesday was 5,2S1, while that
of Mr.. Chambers was 1864.
When told of the result of the cleo
ton Marion Jackson, chairman of the
Men and Religion Forward Movement
in Atlanta, said:
"The nomination of Mr.. Woodward
has not altered our belief that God is
in our midst. The will of the majority
expressed at the polls is His will. We
shall cheerfully abide by it.
''We fought Mr.. Woodward fairly
and squarely without feeling against
him personally. He has won and again
given evidence of the marvellous
strength with which he has been en-.
dowed.
1--WE hope for him a successful adj
ministration. We shall be ready and
glad to uphold him in any good work
which he may undertake for Atlanta.
We hope that he will call upon us. -

SUICIDE IN EASTERN
PART OF CITY MONDAY
Lewis Brewer Shoots Self After
Attempting Reconciliation
With His Wife.

Lewis Brewer ended his life Monday
evening about six o'clock with pistol
shot and his body was found few min
utes later by r. w. Wilmoth. The
young man, only % years of age, had
been separated from his wife and re-
morse is supposed to have been the
cause of his suicide.
On the pretense of going 'possum
hunting Monday night he went to the
home of Mr.. Bob Scroggins and bor-
rowed pistol. He wrote note to his
wife saying that he would soon be out
OF the way and then went to her faith
er's home on Roswell street near the
city limits and had talk with his wife
lastingabout thirty minutes. AS he left
the house he handed her the letter and
few minutes later five shots were
heard from the rear of Olinville church.
Only one shot took effect and death was
almost instantaneous. The bullet en-
tered his chest near the heart and came
out beneath his left shoulder. The
young mans coat and hat were lying on
the ground near the body and his shirt
had been folded back so that the bullet
would have nothing to deter its way.
A picture of his wife and baby was
clasped in the left hand of the dead
man when found.
