Tulsa, Okla, Feb. S,--flow one Of

X Cone Of the First National bank
Of Tulsa, who himself is an enthus-

II Is given herewith
In answer to your inquiry as to
our experience with the various crops
planted and raised last year at our
ranch about IS miles north Of Tulsa,
/ win say that our experience the past
year may be taken as a fair sample
Of what can be done BY the farmers
during dry years in Oklahoma
I'm the fall Of 1910 we put out 275
acres OF wheat. The following spring
which was last spring, we put out
300 acres Of oats, following this up
a little later we put out 200 acres Of
corn, and as soon as our corn was
started We put out 300 acres or sor-
ghum in rows which we afterwards
cultivated three times.
The Crop That Paid.
THE result Of our farming was
that our wheat and oats crop was very

Went down with the awful wreck.
But what of the men who worked be

In the hold Of that giant boat,
The gallant men by the engine fires,
Who kept the vessel afioat?
Down to the pumps those brave men
walked,
And the massive doors shut fast
Never to open again; and they knew

No chance for craft or a boat,

HEALTH AND MARRIAGE.

None knows better than the physi-
clan the tragedies caused by the mar
rage of the physically unfit. The
necessity that both parties to the mar
rage contract should be mentally and
physically sound has long been adj
mitted, not only by the medical pro-
fession, but also by those who have
made study Of sociologic problems.
That the state should take action such
as would prevent the mating of the
unfit has long been recommended.
Marriage, however, has religious as
well as a civil significance with many
people. What more rational, there
fore, than that the religious represen-
ltatiyes should take official notice Of
an evil that so closely concerns both
the church and the state?

rha Quincy Herald says:


"By this time there should be no
question in the minds of the most
suspicious OF Quincy's citizens, that
Hugh Cooper is perhaps the best
friend that this town has in the In
dustrial world today"
Conceding this to be true. as It no
doubt is, Quincy should be thoroughly
ashamed of itself. During the prelim-
mary stages of the great Keokuk and
Hamilton water power enterprise
when Mr.. Cooper-amid difficulties
and discouragements that would have
dismayed and paralyzed less brave
and resoIute man, stalking his all
and making almost superhunlan eff
forts to assure its ultimate success
Quincy left nothing undone to put OBJ
stacles In his way and make his task
as difficult as possible. AS matter
of fact the only opposition encounter
ed anywhere along the Mississippi
river from st. Paul to New Orleans
originated in Quincy. And 1t wal
kept up until the success OF the en-
terprise was assured. This Is
matter OF history. as the record of th'
water power project will attest, ant
it cannot be successfully denied
There's nothing succeeds like suc

The Trick IN the Minority ResoIutIons.

CEDAR Rapids Republican Some OF
the papers are now trying to make
out that the Cedar Rapids convention,
acting through its majority, voted
down some good resolutions, like the
endorsement Of the Sherwood pension
bill and other features. That was
merely the turning OF trick. The
committee on resolutions had decided
tc present no issues except those in

The Tltanic's Heroic Band.

Musical Courier: Mems heroism
has been the theme OF most Of the
consolatory editorials written through
out America during the last week, but
when the Titanic's roll OF honor Is
finally made up, the names OF the
eight musicians who constituted the
ships band must be included In fam.
ing letters OF gold. 1t is reported on
good authority that the musicians
proved themselves sublime heroes,
and continued to play until the waters
engulfed them This was not their
duty as employees of the company. but
1t was their duty to humanity. and
they met 1t stoically. NO army that
ever faced an enemy on the battlefield
showed greater courage or fortitude
with certain death before them, and
yet the eight men played on In order
to mitigate, as far as they we're able,
the horror of the situation. This is
an incident that will rank with the
charge of Balaklava. Such an act
makes speech dumb and pen futile.
All nations should do honor to these
names. Krins. Hume, Taylor, Wood

GRAVEYARD OF THE ATLANTIC.

SSitfsV ~ SNttG VT - A.SttN 10
The locality in which the Titanic
struck an iceberg and sank is known
among seafaring men as "the grave
yard of the Atlantic" because OF the
large number OF vessels lost there.
In one OF his poems Rudyard Kipling
tells OF its dangers under the title
Forty North and Fifty West" as fol
lows:
When the cabin port holes are dark
and green
Because of the seas outside;
When the ship goes wop with wig
gle between
And the trunks begin to slide;
When nursie lies on the floor IN a
heap
And mommy says to let her sleep
And you aren't walked or washed or
dressed,
why, then you may know, II you
haven't guessed,
That you're forty north and nifty west.
Oh, then you may know, Il you
haven't guessed,
That you're forty north and fifty
west.
Captain Smith, in command Of the
Titanic, must have known that the
seas In that latitude and longitude are
always dangerous. Moreover, he had
been warned a few hours before OF
the presence of numerous icebergs in
his path. Yet he drove his vessel
ahead through the darkness at full
speed, without regard for the dangers
that threatened. Such reckless disre
gard of human life was nothing shor'
of criminal.
