Drui11nlOnd Tells What the
Dry Farming Congress Means
(By w. ]. Drummond, Editor m
Interstate Farmer Enid. Okla)

tBy w l. Drummond, Editor the
Interstate Farmer Enid. Okla)
Practically every person In okla
h0ma who reads at an knows that
the International Dry Farming con-
gress viii be held at Tulsa next Oc-
tober, but comparatively few have
awakened 10 realization VI the
character and magnitude Of this T-
stitutiOn, ant what II means, or can
be- made TO mean 10 the entire state.
And hecalge Of this latter fact, some
lmmaterlal dissensions which have
occurred, solely within Oklahoma and
caused solely by political and person
al ambition, are liable TO hamper the
work OF those who are responsible
for the conduct Of the congress, and,
who are striving honorably and COM
scientiously TO make 1t success.
These disscnsions need not affect the
congress, and win not II the people
~ Oklahoma will grasp the situation
at this time and extend 10 the con-
Rress that degree Of support TO which
1t IS entitled.
What the Congress T..
The Dry Farming congress is an
association Of the leading ogrlcultur-
~ interests ana representatives Of
the nations of the world. Its Oh 'ects
are 10 promote the true science of nF-
riculture, not only In regions Of de-
fIcient rainfall, but everywhere that
growing crops are liable 10 suffer
through a temporary lack Of moisture
at any time during the growing sea-
son; and this includes Illinois and
Iowa and New York, as well as re-
gons Of lesser precipitation. so far,
premiums have been awarded only
for crops grown in the countries and
the sections OF comparatively light
rOinfall. But with the growth Of the
congress will come exhibits from
everywhere, with a premium list pro-
perry classified according 10 annual
Precipitation Seven annual conven-
tions Of the congress have heretofore
been held: At Denver, Salt Lake city,
Cheyenne, Billings, Spokane, Colora-
do Springs and Lethbridge, Canada,
With the growth Of the institution,
and It's broadening scope, viii come
demand for the holding Of the con-
Eress on a larger scale, and we shall
then see an anual gathering Of rep
resentatives and products from all
the countries Of the world, such as
never heretofore occurred. bringing
an interchange OF ideas and an OPP
portunity for international acquain-
tance, the good results Of which can
not be overestimated and scarcely
comprehended In all probability,
more than forty governments and
provinces will have exhibits and rep
reeentatives at Tulsa, as well as many
of the states Of broadening scope.
This year, for the first time since
its organization. the congress will
be held outside Of the seml-arid re-
Fion, and in section whore the an
nual precipitation is amply sufficient,
when properly distributed for the
MAXIMUM production Of all crops
adapted to the latitude. This marks
great advance in the growth Of the
institution and indicates is broadening
scope.

From Chihua hua it is reported that
MADEIRA has been out OF communication
with Chihuahua, since Sunday. the 18th,
on which day the federal troops were
withdrawn from the western part of
the state There was no reason to
believe that Americans in the vicinity
OF the town were in danger, according
to reports 10 the state department on
the 23d. The federal government has
promised to make every effort to re-
lieve the town.
Consul Edwards at Ell Paso reported
today that six families were the only
people supposed to be at MADEIRA on
the goth and that they were thought
to be en- route for the border. The
ra ilroad officials have stated that there

PATH OF LOVE LED
BUT TO THE JAIL
Candy Man Weds Candy
Girl-Mother in Law
Objects

If Bobby Burns and Highland Mary
could read of the love troubles or
William C. Corcoran and Miss Anna
admit they had a Darby and Joan of
a time compared with the rutty road
the San Francisco couple has travelled.
After being torn apart by the girls
outraged mother, Corcoran aged over
night. Wrinkled and gray bearded,
the ardent spouse gained entrance: to
the castle and rescued the princess with
the aid of a rope braided from bed
sheets and comforters. The respite was
short Corcoran was arrested on a
warrant charging perjury yesterday.
Here are the facts: Corcoran, the
proprietor Of candy shop at Fillmore
and Hayes streets, married Miss Mar
ham, whose mother runs a lodging
house at 1918 O'Farrell street on July
2 In the Office Of a justice of the peace
in Oakland
When he asked for marriage license
Corcoran gave the girls age as Is.
when her mother says she Is but 16.
Hence the perjury charge.
The girl worked in Corcoran's sweets
shop. The mother learned of the SIM
pie ceremony before the girl had time
to get her counter apron Dack on.
When the bridegroom came back
from dinner he found the principal
sweets" of the shop missing. There
was a curt note from his mother in
law instead.
C1everly hiding his face behind grease
paint and white whiskers, Corcoran
acquired a limp and a cane and was
accepted as lodger by the unsuspect-
ing mother in law.
AS careful as she was, Mrs. Corcoran
couldn't keep the meat and eggs from
running out. SO she let her daughter
out of her sight for the first time in
three days while she hiked for the
groceries.
Corcoran leaned out of the window
above his Juliets balcony and yelled.
His bride appeared, but being an as
suredly well married young woman she
refused to f1irt with her husband until
he took off bis whiskers and wig and
made himself known. Then he slid
down his improvised rope, got to the
ground with his loved one in his arms
and beat it.
But the cops got him.
Mrs. Corcoran was not heard from
last night.

In semihumorous vein to the munich
pal railroads and predicting the time
when they would pass the doors of the
Wigwam were greeted with great en-
thusiasm, as were his illusions to the
pioneers of the Mission who occupied
seats in the audience.
NOVEL PROGRAM FEATURES
The program boasts of several novel
features, the most striking and what
appears to be the most popular being a
condensed version of The Bohemian
Girl staged by Frank w. Healy and
sung by Edith Mason. Thomas Persse,
Robert Mcclure, Amy Lester. Joseph Fo-
garty and Fred Kavanaugh Particu-
alarly in the roles Of the soprano, tenor
and barytone was the opera delightful
Miss Masons voice seemingly having
lost none of its mellow sweetness and
purity and Persse's being resonant as
of old.
McLure sang THE Heart Bowed
memories were revived when Miss
Mason sang II Dreamt I Dwelt in
Marble Halls as well as when Persse
sang the robust Fair Land of Poland"
The scheme is an excellent one of
condensing the beauties of these old
operas into a brief time, and appar-
emily the experiment met with the ap-
proval of the audience. Every number
was encored.
A vaudeville bill of excellence and
moving pictures are added to the fea-
ture production, and 1t seems certain
that Mission patrons of their handsome
"neighborhood" theater will approve
the enterprise of its management as
effectively as did the speakers in their
addresses last night
Everybody wished the new theater
good luck and the first performance
is guarantee that they will deserve It,
