TO GET SEED OATS
IMPORTANT THIS YEAR


Oklahoma City, Jan. 24.-Unless the
farmers of Oklahoma get busy, they
may expect to find themselves in the
condition of the foolish virgins, so far
as good seed oats are concerned. In
years gone by, all that the farmer had
to do was to prepare his ground, hitch
up his team. drive leisurely into town.
buy his oats and go back and plant
them. This year the situation is diff
ferent.
Practically all the seed oats that will
be planted in Oklahoma this year will
have to be imported from Kansas and
Missouri. There were some oats rails
ed in Oklahoma and some in Texas,
but not enough. Many of the grain
dealers over the state have only a
small quantity of good oats and the
farmer who does his shopping early"
is the one who will win.
1t has been suggested by Secretary
Ben. Hennessy of the Oklahoma state
board Of agriculture that the farmers

Manager Dan Myers of the Grand Pro
tects Theatre Patrons.

There is not many theatre managers
who will run show at a loss rather
than sting his patrons on a poor show,
but such was the case last night. Man
ager Myers went to Claremore Monday
night and saw Casey Jones" play, and
after the show tried to persuade the
manager to play at Vinita for 10, 20
and soc in place of 25, so and 75c, but
as all contracts are binding within two
weeks of the date of the show unless
both parties agree the Casey Jones"
company refused to lower their prices.
Manager Myers Immediately had all
advertisements taken out of the paper
and called up all who had reserved
seats from surrounding towns on long
distance telephone and informed them
that the, show wasn't worth coming to
Vinita to see. He also informed all
who came to purchase tickets that the
show was bad and to buy 25c seats.
Consequently great many people did
not attend and Casey Jones" had a
poor house. Manager Myers certainly
works for the interest of the patrons
of the Grand.
The advance agent for the Sheehan
Grand Opera company, which comes
to the Grand on February 8, stated
that Vinita will be the first city of it's
size that they have ever played at

special scenery and is considered one
of the best popular priced shows on

". ]. BRYAN
STAYS BY WILSON
Harper's Could Not Have brought
Him Out" Had Not His Available
ity Attracted Attention.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 24.-William j.
Bryan takes the side of Governor
Woodrow Wilson and Henry Waiter
Z son, justifying the action of the New
Jersey governor in requesting that his
name be withdrawn from the columns
of Harper's Weekly In letter made
public here last night, Mr.. Bryan says:
''The recent break between Cover
nor Wilson and Colonel Harvey illus
trates the impossibility of cooperation
between men who look at public ques-
tions from different points of view.
Colonel Harvey became a suppor-
ter Of Mr.. Wilson when he was select
ed as the democratic candidate for
governor of New Jersey, and he con
tinued his support when Governor Will
son began to be discussed as a candi-
date for the presidency. OF course, it
is absurd for Colonel Harveys friends
to talk about his bringing Governor
Wilson out No man or paper could
have made Governor Wilson available
as candidate, if he himself had not
attracted attention; it would have
been impossible for Colonel Harvey
to have prevented discussion of Gov
ernor Wilson'S availability.
But, let us assume that Colonel
Harvey was doing all that he could for
his choice, what was the situation?
His conspicuous support was not only
of no advantage, but it became actu-
ally a disadvantage; it did not bring
to Governor Wilson the class for which
Colonel Harvey speaks, but alienated
men just as honest as Colonel Harvey's
friends who could not understand why
Colonel Harvey praised Governor Viii
son personally without endorsing the
things for which Governor Wilson
stands. 1t naturally aroused suspic-
ion as to the sincerity Of one or the
other, and when Governor Wilson was
asked the question he admitted that
he regarded the support of Colonel
Harvey as a liability rather than as
an asset. Should he have pretended
that he thought that Colonel Harvey
was helping him when he was not
And should Colonel Harvey complain?
If he really favors Governor Wilson he
must desire to aid him; why should he
be offended then, at Governor Wilson's
frankness? Is he more interested in
being known as the man who made
Governor Wilson famous than in ad-
vancing Governor Wilson's cause?
Harvey has shown no signs of conVer-
sion. If he communes with Ananiases
it is not with any consciousness or
blindness. He has seen no new light,
and when he does, he will feel so
ashamed of his lifelong fight against
progressive democracy that his first de-
sire will be to bring forth fruits for
repentance-not to assume leadership.
It must pain Governor Wilson to break
with his old friends, but breaks must
necessarily come unless he turns back
or they g0 forward A man is known
by the company he keeps he
cannot keep company with those 60
ing in opposite directions. Governor
Wilson must prepare himself for other
desertions will distress him, but
there is abundant consolation of duty
well done.
