lahoma is better fitted for the work
than he Judge Russell has some
matters before him in this district

he would appoint A. Eddleman of

succeed Judge Russell This ap-
pointment is also a desirable one.
Mr.. Eddleman is very fine lawyer,
he is of judicial turn of mind, he
is close student of the law and
is as honest as humanity is made.
Love county is to be congratulated
that the appointment came to that
county and the entire district is to
be congratulated upon Judge Ed

The appointment of Judge Russell
will meet with the approval Of the
bar and of the press of the entire
state. He stands high as a lawyer
and as a man, and while Judge Will
liams'' place will be hard to fill,
there is no doubt but that Judge
Russell will give eminent satisfac-
ton upon the supreme bench OF
the state.

COMMENTS ON
COURT DECISION
SAYS 1T WILL BE THE MEANS OF
LOWERING THE TAX RATE IN
THE STATE.

II consider my act of holding up
the Harris Day code one of the best
acts that | have performed as COVER
nor of the state" said Governor Lee
Cruce when asked for an opinion on
the supreme court decision passed on
the river bed question. The governor
further stated that the decision would
mean a great deal to all counties in
which oil and gas was produced, ven.
turing the opinion at the present time
that the oil and gas leases of Carter
county, subject to taxation would
equal the taxable values of the lands"
There are two things that / have
done since being governor of this state
of which | am just little bit proud;
the first as | stated above, and the
other was vetoing the IA cent fare
rate bill as presented to me by the
legislature as a compromise for this
two-cent rate we were striving for,
and resulted in our getting the two
cent rate in the end was censured
by some at the time, but there is some
satisfaction in saying 4 told you so.'"
The governor complimented Ard
more on its activity in the oil fields
and reiterated his oft repeated state
ment that this was the best town in
the state and everyone knew 1t but
our own inhabitants.

TREES GROWN INTO A CHAIR.
How a Wisconsin Man Made Seat OF
Elder Sprouts.

Elder Sprouts.
The only chair in the world actually
grown from the ground in the shape
it now stands, perfect in every dimen-
sion, strong and withal comfortable,
is the proud possession of John Kub-
sack, of Embarrass, Wis. Mr.. Kub-
sack literally grew the chair from
twenty-eight small box elder trees,
which he trained to grow into their
future permanent places in the piece
of furniture. The process took eight
years.
Mr.. Kubsack who is a great lover of
trees, says that the inception of the
idea came to him little over eight
years ago while he was in the woods
attempting to find branches which had
grown into the shape of natural hall
tree. He then conceived the plan Of
training trees to grow into any shape
that he wished, and went home with
this rather hazy conception of what
he wished to do in his mind.
He finally decided that he would at
tempt to grow chair. He first plant
ed four small box elder scions for the
legs at the proper intervals and then
began the laborious task of training
these four and others he later plant
ed into their proper proportions. AS
each small tree grew into the re-
quired size, it was tied over to grow
into the place reserved for It, Eighty
joints were made by grating.
The growing of the curiosity re
Quired hours of careful work and al
most daily attention was given this
strange group of trees by its owner.
Much comment in the community was
caused when the report of the plan OF
Mr.. Kubsack became known and frank
skepticism was rampant.
However, eight years almost to a
day after the first tree had been plant
ed and after the twenty-eighth tree
had taken root, Mr.. Kubsack was able
to see the fruit of all his work. He cut
the finished chair from it's roots some
time ago and now has it in his homo
doing service for any visitor who wish
es to use it-New York Sun.
