Iowa has more than nine thousand
miles of -,ailroad within the borders
of the state, a mileage that is eX-
ceeded only by three other states in
the Union, and connects all Iowa
points with the great markets. Very
few farmers in Iowa live ten miles
from a railroad. At any and all sea-
sons of the year Iowa farmers have
the advantage of the highest market
prices with short hauls.

OKLAHOMA HAS CHEAPEST GAS

The Express, published in Los
Angeles, Cal, recently compiled an
exhaustive report on natural gas for
the board of public utilities in that
state. The report shows that the
cheapest gas in the United States
for domestic purposes is in Oklahoma
and the cheapest gas in the United
States for industrial use is in Ok
lahoma. Gas in California is highest
tor domestice use and in Indiana for
industrial use.
Oklahoma has the greatest oil and
gas fields in the United States, these
fields have given up millions of
wealth to enrich the citizens of this
and other states and new fields are
being discovered every year. Hun
dreds of factories have been estab-
llshed in The state and labor conditions
have always been good. hundreds
of other factories could be located
acre and operated at a profit. Not
only does the state have the cheap
gas, but 1t has the railway facilities
to furnish a great market for all
the manufactured goods of the state.

Child Lost Four Days.

Erskine. Mimi, Sept 10.--Emaci
ated and Just on the verge OF death
as result of subsisting four days
ngrass and dirt, little Beulah Can
thorn, three-year-old daughter of ia
cob Canthorn, is today recovering
from an experience which physicians
declare would have killed an ordi-
nary child.
After searching parties had scour'
ed the country since last Wednesday
g orning the girl was finally found
under a pile of brush within a mile
of the Canthorn home, eight miles
east of here.
She had crawled through a mile
of thick underbrush and finally laid
down under huge pile of brambles.
During the search men had passed
the brush several times, but the tot
was too weak from hunger and pri-
vation to make herself heard.
Bloodhounds from st. Cloud finally
located the path taken by the little
one when she disappeared. After
crossing and recrossing the trail the
bloodhounds finally brought up at the
pile of brush and there was found the
pitiful little wanderer.
AS she was picked up, she pit
eously cried for her mother. Her face
and body was terribly scratched by
thorns.
For a space of several feet about
the place where she had rested four
days, the ground was bare where she
had pulled up every blade Of grass
and root to eat. She had also eaten
a quantity Of dirt.
The mother had been frantic with
fear during her daughters absence,
believing the little one had been car
ried away by lion which had escap-
ed from a circus near here.

statehood is seen IN its citizenship
Not that one Of the best classes OF
people in the world did no- inhabit
Indian Territory before statehood, but
because they were not given chance
TO develop and TO do things.
Antipathy to the deputy marshal,
antipathy to the federal court, ahtip-
athy to the rule OF men whom they
had no voice in selecting bred mere
or less disrespect for the law and
those who violated the federal laws
were shielded too often, whereas,
now the violations are reduced to the
minimum and all citizens aid the
officers in law enforcement.
The tenant farmers Mad but few
schools for the education Of their
children, young men by the scores
who could not write their names
have been confined in the old fed
eral pail at Ardmore Now there are
less than one eighth as many young
men placed under arrest, they have
been taught in ;hapublic schools and
the change in conditions has wrought
a wonderful work that is easily OBJ
served. Living conditions in the ru-
raj communities have been improved
by the building Of schools and |
churches and roads and the tele-
phone. While this great internal i'm
has but been begun, yet |
The changes have been so great that
he best people are now being at
racted to the rural settlements

and in which the idea of saving is
looked upon fayorably.
Thrift seems to be solving the race
problem in the south, too. DR.. Booker
T. Washington visited recently the
four counties of tldewater Virginia
and the report he made to the outlook
OF the condition of the thirty-odd
thousand happy and prosperous col
ored people he found there was to
the effect that they produce every
year farming crops to the value Of
six million dollars, and everywhere
he saw farms we'll titled, modern
farming implements and attractive
dwellings, while no fewer than fifteen
hundred farms were owned by the
negroes themselves. All this was
evidently the fruits of application to
work, continued and persistent labor,
thrift ard foresight.
But there ought to be nothing Sec
tional or racial about thrift. 1t IS
matter of nationwide and worldwide
impo tance. All great empires have
been thrifty. The Roman empire
was founded upon thrift. When ex-
travagance took the place of thrift
among the Romans, that empire crum-
bled and fell.
Prussia is another example Of ma
tional thrift. This idea was nurtured
by the father of Frederick the Great,
who stored up a vast treasure and
built up great army through the
strictest economy. This was the fore
runner of the great German empire of
today, and the Germans are still no.
ted for their thrift, even when trans
planted to this country where the
temptations to spend money constantly
are great.
The French people have been re-
ferred to so frequently in this con-
HtCllou lldI the lliuStldIIoII 10 IdIhoi
trite one, but nevertheless that ma
tion is wonderful model to the world
in the matter Of thrift. 1t was the
small savings Of her citizens that en-
abled France, at the end of the Fran
co-Prussian war, to pay at once, in
cash, the billion dollar indemnity i'm
posed, thus saving herself from bank
ruptcy. Knowing this French thrift,
Russia, in her time of need, turned tc
that country to borrow billions.
French thrift is proverbial and
France is the land of happy homes.
There is no reason why We in Am
erica should not save money. We are
able to earn it, we have excellent de-
positories for our savings, and the
savings banks reward our thrift by
paying us liberal interest. One bank
the Bowery Savings Bank of New
York, in the first seventy-five years
of it's history, paid in interest to de-
positors the enormous sum Of $SS, ,16S,-
2S7.97.
The savings banks are not only
doing beneficent work in inculcating
habits of thrift, in gathering and con-
serving wealth which might other
wise be wasted, or else lie unpro-
ductive and in furnishing capital for
many legitimate business enterprises,
but, especially in our larger eastern
cities, with the great influx of alien
people, they are keeping step with the
churches and public schools in helping
to make good citizens of those who
seek our shores as immigrants.

LOVE COUNTYS PLANS.

Love county is engaged in a good
roads campaign and is doing the
work without voting a bond issue.
An agreement seems to have been
effected between citizens of Marietta
and farmers under the terms Of which
Marietta puts up the money neces-
sary to buy the bridges and the lum-
Der and to purchase rights of way
where purchase is required and the
farmers take their teams and do the
work. Sixteen hundred dollars has
already been placed il this fund in
cash and the work is now being done.
Roads are being laid out bridges and
culverts are being built and before
the winter months come Love county
will have by far the best roads it
has ever had.
, While such work as Love county
is doing can at best be only tempo
rary. yet it is worth more than II
costs. 1t is worth more to the mer-
chant and it is worth more to thu
farmer 1t is the beginning that will
end in a system of good roads
throughout the county. Marietta ant
the farmers of Love county are tc
be congratulated. that they have
formed this working basis to secure
better roads.

NEWPORT RESOLUTIONS.

Someone has said, GO to the
counry districts for pure religion and
clean politics" and to that trite say
ing may be added, go to the country
for intelligent readers of the public
press" In the city the man reads
the heaNines and hurries on to his
work, expecting to gather from 9TH
ers the news of the day The man
in the country takes the time to read
and to digest what he reads. In pol
tics they keep well informed upon
what congress is doing, party pledges
are observed and the party's honor is
measured by the manner in which it
carries out its platform pledges. AS
an evidence of this healthy intellect
ual condition that prevails in this
section of the state in the country
towns, we take pleasure in publish
ing the following resolutions on the
currency bill adopted by the citizens
in mass meeting at Newport, this
county;
Whereas, as there is now pending
in congress a bill known as the
Owen-Glas currency BILL and where
as as there has been set OF
amendments offered to said bill by
Hon. r. L. Henry of Texas, which
in our opinion is great improve
mert on said bill, as they are in line
with the pledges of the democratic
platform as enunciated at the Balti-
more convention of last year. And
whereas we find the following
pledges in the aforesaid platform. To-
wit: I'VE believe in systematic
effort to improve the condition OF
trade in farm products so as to ben
eft both producer and consumer. We
favor the enactment by congress OF
legislation that will suppress the per-
nicious practice of gambling in agri
cultural products by organized ex-
changes or others
The platform also said, 1--WE favor
national aid to state and local au-
thorit.es in the construction and
maintenance of post-roads." And we
believe that the amendments offered
to be in line with the platform.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
citizens of Newport, Okla, assem-
bled in mass meeting Sept, 9th, 1913
that We respectfully demand and
urge our senators and representatives
that they use their influence and votes
to pass this bill with the amend
ments as offered by Mr. Henry.
Second, We ask citizens in other
communities to work for the pas
sage of sad bill.
Third, Resolved that copy of
these be sent to the Ardmoreite,
Farm Cooperative and other papers
for publication.
