ly enough, have been an obstacle in
the path of diversified crops and live
stock farming, are seeing the light In
some counties shortsighgted landlords
have insisted that their tenants grow
cotton almost exclusively, because OF
the fact that heretofore 1t has been
quick money crop. In many in
stances tenant farmers have sought
to put in practice the teachings of the
state Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege at saltwater and of the rep
resentatiyes OF the United States
department of agriculture, but have
been held back by the landowners
The result was that the land owner
was slowly poisoning the goose that
laid the golden egg for constant
cropping OF cotton is known to be
ruinous to the land This situation
is changing and the tenants on many
farms are being encouraged to raise
diversified crops and feed live stock.
One corporation owning many farms
is seeking to convert them into live
stock farms on a share basis.
From Coweta Bascom r. Lawson,
agent, reports that in district % of
his county a large acreage of cotton
raised this year because the land
owners demanded it. This fall the
owners have agreed to other crops,
such as corn, alfalfa, peanuts, pota-
toes, feterita, kafir and cane, and are
encouraging their tenants to raise
more chickens, hogs and cattle.
One enterprising agent, seeking to
get tangible evidence to present to
the people of his county of their back
ward agriculture, obtained figures of
imports and exports from the railway
companies. The result was astound-
ing, when it is known that Oklahoma
is an agricultural state and that this
particular county depends principally
upon agriculture. The figures show
ed that in one month, imports" into
the county were as follows: Flour,
cars, hay cars, corn 2 cars, mill
feed I cars, sugar . cars, syrups l
car, canned goods | car, and local
shipments amounting to $1,000 to 2O,-
OOO pounds, mostly packing house
products. Against these heavy ship
ments made into the county were
four cars of crossties and one car
of cattle shipped outside the county
If Oklahoma had many counties of
this kind the state would drop con-
siderably in her ranking among the
agricultural states. Figures of this
kind appeal to the business men of
the towns as much as to the farm
ers, and it is a safe bet that the
county agent will find the bankers
and merchants ready to help change
the relation of exports and imports.

Platt, superintendent of the bureau
of public health and hygiene of the
New York Association for Improving
the Condition of the Poor, declared
that vigorous protection against the
fly had proved a factor in reducing
sickness among New York's tenement
babies.
The general cleanup of neighbor-
hood, accompanied by a reduction in
the number of flies, he said, resulted
in one-third as much communicable
disease as occurred in dirty, in
sanitary. fly prevalent district. But
to determine how great factor was
the fly alone in communicating dis
ease an intensive campaign was car
ried out in 1900 tenement homes
Twelve nurses and three supervisors
visited each home every five days
Every effort was made TO protect the
infants from flies. over a thousand
yards of netting were distributed free
of cost, the fly killing was also un
dertaken Systematically. The results
were definitely indicative of less
sickness, but general cleanliness
seemed to be more important than
simply protecting the infant from
flies.
over three times as much diar-
rhoea occurred in the poorly protect
ed, dirty homes, as in the well-pro-
tected, clean ones, he found.

BOYS HAVE A
NARROW ESCAPE

The story has just come out that
several boys had narrow escape re-
Gently at the old coal mine about a
mile south of town. Several of them
were taking walk over the hill and
they came across the old shaft. They
decided to go down and explore. and
John Steninger was the first to make
the attempt.
When about ten feet from the bot
tom he fell The steps had become
rotten, he says, and he landed in the
bottom on his back He was but slight
ly injured and quickly notified those
above of the danger,
{ AS this old shaft is about q. hun
dred feet deep Il is fortunate that the
boys escaped serious injury, They
say that the air in the bottom of the
shaft was SO bad that matches would
not burn.

RED LIGHT HOSTS
LEAVE CALIFORNIA

= e.
Reno is already being called Upon to
harbor refugees from the-red light dis
tricts Of California who are being
driven from the state by the operation
of the red light abatement bill that
passed on vote of the people at the
last election in the golden state. The
former inmates of red light districts
of California, both men and women,
are coming into Nevada by twos and
threes. Some of them are already on
the verge of starvation and the auth
critics here say that they will have to
move on as fast as they can be sent
out of town.
Officials of the local police depart
ment believe that the abatement bill
in California viii mean the scattering
OF the underworld population not on
ly through the residence districts of
California cities. but into adjoining
states and eventually into all parts of
the country. AS result, the Reno
police are looking for busy time.

SMALL FIRE
This MORNING

About five o'clock this morning our
city was startled by the alarm OF fire,
and in a~few minutes the streets were
alive with men and women who had
jumped from their beds and hurriedly
dressed. The<kose carts were quick
ly brought to the scene, but owing to
the fact that the cold weather of the
past few days had frozen the fire plug,
also the hose, there was a delay of
cfully half an hour in getting the
streams into action. Meantime a
bucket brigade was organized which
kept the flames under control and pre-
vented disastrous blaze.
The fire occurred at 337 Idaho street
in what is known as the Jones resi-.
dence, owned by A. G. Mcbride The
place is occupied by the families of
Guy Chapman and Mr.. Davis. About
4:30 Mr.. Davis started fire in the
kitchen stove and then returned to
bed to walt until the room was warm.
Soon, however, he was aroused by the
smell of smoke, and upon investiga-
ton found that the roof, and ceiling
were on fire due to detective hue.
BY quick action the fire was con-
fined to the rear end of the building
and the total loss was less than $500.
Before the fire plug, could be opened
1t was necessaryto pour hot water on
it, and as this had to be carried from
the Commercial Hotel considerable
time was lost. Then the hose was
found to be frozen causing more de
lay, and it was impossible to get a
good flow OF water Everything con-
sidered 1t is extremely fortunate that
many buildings were not wiped out of
existence Great credit is due to the
'glounteer FIRE fighters. 1t is due to
their quick, effective work and the
further fact that there was no wind
that not only the whole building but
several adjoining ones were not swept
away. =

FLEET FEET BEAT

When Russell Dorsey was returning
to his home west Of Elko Monday night,
man approached him from right
angles and told him to stop. Young
Dorsey didn't stop but quickened his
pace and another louder demand was
made to him, This time Dorsey took
to his heels and he probably ran fast
er than he lever ran before until he
reached home. The fellow followed
him some distance then turned in an.
other direction. ~
1t is not known who the person was
but 1t is evident that he intended a
hold-up.
Two successful hold-ups occurred re-
Gently not far from the place where
the attempt was made to hold up
young Dorsey.

The Dress Revolt.

THE American clubwomen's recent re-
volt against the fashions Of Paris
led Mrs. Clement Burt the Cleveland 80
ciety leader, to say in New York:
THE Paris fashions are more beauti-
full and more difficult than they have ever
been. To revolt against them on the
score OF expense. that can understand,
but to revolt against them on the score
of immodesty and ugliness argues both
prudishness and bad taste.
Eyes, expense is the only logical ground
for revolt Let me tell you how Worth
once treated an expense revolt
IA woman came to Worth and said:
Monsieur. you have charged me $500
for an evening gown. Yet the material
did not cost more than 800 and the
workmanship so more
Madame Worth replied. go to n.
Meissonier, the painter. and say to him:
Here is a canvas. value Is cents, and
here are colors, value 81. Paint me q pic
ture on this canvas with these colors and
ri nay you $1.25." What will Meisso-
nier's answer be? "Madame." he win an
gWer. THAT is no payment for an artist"
But 1 say more. I say: II you think my
terms too high pay me nothing and keep
the robe.
