OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
NO CHANCE.


The other day a chap came in,
And thumbed lot OF bills;
He slipped me one whose sum would

A wooden man the chills.

To keep me in the hole?"
He smiled a hopeful smile and said,

you,"
Said /, as out he went,
With coal to buy, there's not much

To ever save cent.

A bank account so nice,

Iowa City boasts of million dol

Half of this amount, however, was
spent by the state on university build

size with Iowa City and made an
equal amount of improvements with
out one cent from the state. He
builds best who builds for himself.

rnE COMING ELECTION,

Oskaloosa has everything to gain
and nothing to lose in the special
election to be held on Monday, April
%. All that is asked for is an eX-
tension of the present electric light
and street car franchise for fourteen
years after its expiration, or twenty
five years from date. In addition to
other concessions, made to the city,
the council has stipulated that free
light and heat shall be furnished the
municipal building during the life of
the franchise.
This concession has been provided
for in the new contracts as Ordi-
nance No. IFS, Section s, provides.
THE Oskaloosa Traction & Light
Company, its successors and assigns,
is required to furnish free of charge
to said city, all the light and heat
it may need to light and heat the city
Offices, police and fire departments"
The value of this service to the
city is as follows:
For lighting city building and
fire department per year. $500
For heating city building and
fire department per year. $500
Cost per year-Total. 80. 81 ,593.OO
In addition to which the Company
furnishes free of charge to the city:
Lighting for the Public Band Stand.
Free transportation for Police and
Fire Departments and Health De-
partment.
In addition to these concessions,
the Illinois Traction Company, COM
monty called the Mckinley Inter
ests," agree to buy the local property
at a price a little above par. This
means that 100000 of outside money
will be brought into Oskaloosa and
put in circulation here.
This also means that the Oskaloosa
property will become part of one OF
the largest street car and interurban
companies in the United States. The
Illinois Traction Company owns lines
all over the state of Illinois and has
a splendid connection into st. Louis.
1t also owns the Des Moines property,
and it is believed that an interurban
development in Iowa, equal to that
of Illinois is in prospect.
We repeat that Oskaloosa has ev-
erything to gain and nothing to lose
in a favorable outcome Of the election
to be held on April %.

the city-raised boy who knows moth
ing Of the labor of the farm and
thinks manual labor a disgrace, when
he finishes school and enters pro-
fessional life, If he makes a failure
there is nothing left for him but the
life of the gambler, perhaps, or some
thing worse, and he is a failure IN
fact.
The governor closed his remarks by
stating that the farm must be made
more attractive so that the boys
would not be lured to the cities and
that the sooner the farmers OF the
country adapted their farming to the
changed conditions the better it would
he for the boys of the farm and the
country in general. In speaking OF
rural schools the governor said that
he hoped to see the day when every
child in the country could get the
equivalent of a high school education
without leaving his fathers roof that
the most critical period of a boys or
a girls life was between the ages OF
sixteen and twenty when they are 60
ing through the high schools OF the
cities. and it was then that they most
needed parental care. In closing the
governor urged his farmer friends tC
adapt their labor to bettering con
ditions on TIE farm and through Or
sanitation along sane lines make the
farm so attractive that the boys an'
girls would have no desire to leave
them.

GOVERNOR TALKS
To farmers
AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION
MEETS AND LISTENS TO CHIEF
EXECUTIVE.

The Carter county branch of the
Eastern Oklahoma Agricultural asso-
citation held a meeting at the court
house yesterday afternoon. The
meeting was addressed by Governor
Cruce who was in the city to attend
the ceremony of driving the first
spike on the Ringing railroad.
Quite a number of farmers were
here for the purpose Of attending the
meeting and adopt plans for county,
wide campaign for more members,
also to devise means for township
organizations. Owing to the lateness
of the hour caused by the other meet
ing at which the governor was the
guest of honor no plans were attempt
ed but the assembled farmers and
business men listened to an instruct
i've address from the chief executive.
The meeting was called to order
by President Young, who introduced
Secretary Atwell of the Retailers as
sociation. He stated the object OF
the organ zation and Governor Cruce
was then introduced who stated that
he was glad to see the farmers OF
Carter county taking more interest
in agriculture.
Governor Cruce, after dwelling
briefly upon the present condition Of
! the farmer, stated that it was a mis-
taken idea that the farmer was the
most independent person in the world
He said that by rights the farmer
should be, but as a matter of fact h.
was the most dependent and would
so remain until thorough organization
and the adoption of scientific princi-
pies of farming he made it possl9lC
himself to rise above present condi-
| tions.
He cited the instances where un-
ionism was making it possible fol
every class of labor to get bettei
wages for their work and said tina
the farmer could get better pay fo
himself and family if he would or
ganize and then stick together. "Th'
trouble with you farmers" said tn
governor, "is that you will not co
operate. The nod carrier on tn
building gets better wages than yo
do simply because he is organic
and sticks to his organization, no
that he has more intelligence tina
you, and just as soon as you are tho
roughly organized along legitima'
lines just so soon will your labor b
protected and You receive a just com
pensation for your work"
In speaking of the chances Of tl
boy raised on the farm as compar.
with the city-bred boy in the atrueg.
for existence the governor sad th"
the country raised boy had all Il
advantage. The boy from the farm,
sad the governor, has learned 4
labor with his hands, and when h
leaves the farm and goes to the cit
to enter a profession and if he fai.
he has his knowledge of farming
rely upon, goes back to the farm an
