he had made In 1902. one-third al.
ready had been sold TO America, and
he ventured to phophesy that in an
other twenty years the other two.
thirds, all privately owned, would have
boarded transatlantic steamers, and
made the passage before they could
be recalled.
With tears in his voice, Sir Sidney
called attention TO tho fact that the
Duke OF Devonshire, who, owing TO
HIS wealth and position, was one OF
the greatest custodians OF nationa,
monuments, had sold to America the
unique copy Of the aEst- printed yer
sion OF Hamlet" surely play which
Englishmen were entitled 20 call their

He said the only way 10 save the

Both Crafters.

Cato Sells, commissioner of In
dian affairs at Washington, ID, C.,
is in eastern Oklahoma at work
in the interest Of the red men.
Itl is said Mr.. Sells is coming
to protect the Indian minor from
the grating" white man.
Judging from the way that In
dams in this locality try to repu.
date their honest debts, to which
many merchants can testify, it
seems that it would be well to
have a Commissioner appointed
te protect white men from the
grating" Indians.

Going Higher

Hogs touched $50 on the
Oklahoma City market Saturday,
and the indhations are that they
will remain there if not go high
er during the summer.
At this price farmers can well
afford to feed their corn into
hogs instead OF selling the corn.
When a farmer has good thrift
ty hogs and good grassy
place for them he can make a
fair profit on feeding 80 cent
corn into 8 cent hogs, GO cent
corn into 6 cent hogs, 20 cent
corn into Z cent hogs, or 80 cent
corn into 8 cent hogs.

Political Year.

This Is the first issue in 1914.
the year that will witness the
greatest political activities that
Oklahoma has yet experienced.
There is to be a governor and
other state officers elected: one
u. S. Senator, 8 congressman.
members of the state legislature,
district judges and county off
Gers.
The political pot has already
begun to boil and many candi
dates have their hats in the
ring.
And while this is the condition
itwould be wise plan for the
laymen to decide to support the
best men possible for the various
Offices.

If It hadn't been for rap on the
head by pitched ball some two years
or so ago, Miles Main, the young pitch
er who suffered his first defeat Of the
season against the Red Sox. might
have been partner OF Carrigan's
star wonder workers, Leonard and
Foster, says Boston writer. Main
was at Jersey City when that cub
was the Red Sox farm, and in the
natural course of events would prob
ably have come this way. However,
after he was hit on the head his work
fell off and he was traded to Buffalo,
where he achieved even better results
than when on the Sox farm. The
bean ball works some queer changes
in baseball.
