Agricultural Camp Meetings.

The Oklahoma A. & NJ. College at
Saltwater proposes to hold agricultural
camp meetings again next summer.
This is probably as good n way as any
for the board OF agriculture to use
state funds to campaign against the
proposed amendment to the constitu-
tion, recalling the present members Of
the board, which was filed with the
secretary of state on December IL,
1911. And the college has plenty Of
money which the board may divert for
this purpose. Its revenue for running
expenses this year will be nearly a
quarter Of a million dollars; and in
addition, the third legislature made

Broke, broke, broke,

But it brings some relief to utter
The thoughts that occur to me.
Oh, we'll for the beautiful gifts,
As they rest in fair array
Oh, we'll for the haunting thought
That intrudes. Does the whole
thing pay?
And the giving still goes on,
As it has in the years gone by;
But the last OF the merry holidays
Brings again the same old cry:
Broke, broke, broke
Not single cent, oh, gee!l
And the dough that spent for the
Christmas gifts
Will never come back to me.

Inspection of Live Animals.

The veterinarians of Oklahoma met
in Oklahoma City recently and, among
other things, discussed Oklahoma 5
meat inspection law, which gives
jobs to some four hundred or more
of the faithful. The discussion in
dicated that the notion was that
this inspection was supposed to
be for the purpose of protect
ing the peoples health, and these
trained scientists pointed out to each
other how impossible it is by an in
spection of live animals to determine
whether or not the meat is fit for hu-
man food All of this was futile and in
vain. The board of agriculture ap-
points these meat inspectors. Any
member of the legislature who is
good" and votes as the lobby OF the
board Of agriculture wants him to vote,
may nominate the inspectors in his
district. And there's the great value
of this law. 1t was originally enacted
so that record of brands of all cattle
slaughtered might be kept and cattle
rustlers might be traced. That pur-
pose has long since been served and
now the law is being used to the ad-
van tage of the machine which farms
the farmer and makes him pay.-Okla-

How Beaver County Gets il
In the Neck.

The LaKemp Mirror and Beaver
Democrat are raising protest over
the fact that Beaver county gets no
credit for the large amount OF produce
raised and shipped out, because it all
has to be hauled outside OF the county
for shipment. OF course this is unfair
and has worked greatly to our detri-
ment. So Tonga Beaver county broom
corn makes Liberal, Kas., the largest
broom corn market in the world, 1t is
Liberal that gets the advertisement,
not Beaver county.
While Englewood, Kas., has for some
years been the best business and one
OF the heaviest shipping points in soutn-
western Kansas, but few people out
side realize that Beaver county money
aud Beaver county broomcorn, grain.
cattle and hogs have made Englewood
II is consoling to reflect that we will
not have to suffer this injustice much
longer. Before another seasons crops
are ready to market we will have n
railroad to carry them And people
who are looking over the southwest for
prospective locations will find out that
Beaver county is on the map. We eI-
pect to see Beaver county take her
rightful place as one OF the most fertile
and productive counties of our state
before another year has rolled around.
Farmers News,
For rnany, many years the BEAVER
HERALD has kicked at this injustice to
Beaver county There never has been
any way to cure this outrageous state
OF affairs except by the building OF
railroads through this county, and of
course the towns in other states along
the borders of Beaver county have
done what they could to prevent rail-
road building in Beaver county, be-
cause IL was to their interest to get all
the benefit of all the trade from this
couny The railroad companies, Of
course, would build no railroad in
Beaver county so long as they could
railroad points in other states, haul all
the products Of the county to them,
and force Beaver county people to ship

lumber, groceries, clothing, every thing

us higher freight rates than they
charged the people in the towns in

us cut-throat rates for storage for

money the railroad agents would often
hold the goods at their depots for days,
and sometimes for weeks before notify !
ing the Beaver county owner.
o, yes, we know whole lot about
the way the ra ailroads and the people
of the towns along the borders have
used Beaver county, and we are glad |
TO know that at last we have some as
sistant kickers.
But hard as we have been used by
outside railroads and towns, they have
done us no such hurt as our own Okla.
homa people have done to us. Through

have virtually been debarred from get
