feared between that worthy and much
abused character and the moving pic
ture man who is here photographing
Chickasha As long as the weather
continues cloudy just so long will the

No pictures we're taken today and
the only scenes made yesterday were
Of the Oklahoma College for Women.
Much work, in the matter Of picking
up odds and ENDS, is yet to be done.
1t was the intention to take some gen
eral views about town today, in addi-
ton 70 scenes at some Of the local
dairy farms, but the cloudy weather
put everything out Of business.
Unless the pictures are taken within
the next few days. the possibility Of
getting the finished product back here
to be shown at the local playhouses
during Christmas week, as was intend
ed, is small. but the men in charge are
doing absolutely all M their power to
bring the pictures out on time, and if
Miss Chickasha does not see her pic
ture thrown upon the screens OF local
playhouses during Christmas week, she
win have the weather man to blame.

Mexico City. Dec. S.-tBy Mail to
New York while foreigners Of all
other nationalities IN the capital have
defense committees and talk about
them, not a word is heard about any
preparation by Americans here to pro-
tect themselves In the event Of mob
violence. The fact is, the United
Press learned today, the Americans
have Just as strong an organization as
the English and Germans. but it is a
secret affair. They cannot arm open
~ and hold meetings to plan their de-
Tense in an emergency. because Of the
Intervention talk that has incensed the
Huerta government.
A year ago. in the days before the
''decenia tragica. as the Mexicans call
the ten days reign Of terror. when
the streets OF Mexico Ciry ran with
blood, hundreds Of bodies we're burned
on the stone pavements and President
Madero and Vice President Suarez
were killed, the Americans had a
strong defense committee. They had
rifles. ammunition, red cross depart
ment and houses near the embassy
stocked with vast supplies Of food.
They we're prepared to withstand a
long siege in the event Of mob vio-
lence
Now the Americans are silent.
While the Intervention talk is going
the rounds, any open act BY the Amer
leans indicating that they were col
lecting arms might be construed by
Huerta's government as against the
government itself.
"In such case. said leader in the
American colony today. 'the govern

give up their arms and then we would
be left without any protection. It
would be folloy for the Americans to

Hot Winds Hurt the Young
Farmer; Didn't Faze Corn
How Ebert Cast Won the Capital Prize

On the 18th day Of July, last, the
second day Of the terrific hot winds.
Ebert Cast, aged is, Oklahoma's
champion corn grower, near Rush
Springs, went TO Marlow to spend a
week with cousin. OF course he left
his corn behind and as the burning
winds began to blister every bit Of
vegetation, the lads peace Of mind was
disturbed. So troubled was he that.
instead of staying a week, he returned
home within few days with a heavy
heart. Imagine his amazement when
he found his corn standing proudly IN
his clean field, as green as when he
left il, undamaged AS soon as he had
cultivated it again he wrote to c. A
McNabb. county farm agent. in answer
to an inquiry, saying the hot wind
hurt me worse than it hurt my corn.
Study that little incident and you
win be convinced that it wasn't.an ac-
cident and it wasn't luck that enabled
this youngster to win trip to the na-
tional capital by growing over 100
bushels Of corn per acre during a year
of drouth. The lad was interested in
his work and was undaunted by diff
culties, but more than this he farmed
according to principles and methods
given to him by the department Of az
riculture through Mr. McNabb. The
result was that he captured the covet-
ed capital prize in contest waged
by over 1900 corn club boys through.
out the state and his success speaks
volumes for the demonstration work in
this county.
Volumes have been written and
many more may be written relative to
the supreme Importance Of adopting
those fundamental principles upon
which successful agriculture is found
ed in Oklahoma or elsewhere. but in
the lesson which Elbert Casts success
brings to the farmers Of Grady county
can be seen the awakening Of an IN
terest in better farming which will
mean great advancement agricultural
ly and a fine start on the road to a
greater prosperity to all and a conse-
auent improvement of the farms Of the
county commensurate with the rich
farming lands which nature has given
this county.
The Express has inquired into the
methods employed which brought to
Ebert Cast and his crop such remark
able success in one of the most per.
picking years for successful farming
this county has ever experienced. The
first thing Of particular interest found
was that the boy was willing to be ad-
vised. His parents were not so hide
bound" but that they too could see the
need for demonstration Of the time

ment
