MANY ACRES Of

SECRETARY OF CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE HAS MANY ORDERS
FOR SEED. SEVERAL HUNDRED
ACRES TO BE GROWN.

Secretary West of the chamber OF
commerce has received many orders
for peanuts for seed to be planted in
this vicinity this spring. Walter Col
bert stated this morning that he was
going to plant ten acres and NJ. l..
Alexander gave an order for enough
seed for five acres. Mr.. West stated
that peanuts were a money crop in
southern Oklahoma, and the only pea
nut grown in the world that could be
made into peanut butter without the
use OF olive oil as is necessary with
those grown in other sections of the
United States. Up to the present time
peanuts have been rather an expert
ment, but that fact no longer holds
good, from the very first it was discov-
cred that there was one crop that
was sure and a big money getter and
from the few acres planted few
years ago, the acreage has been in
creased until the present time the in
dications are according to the secre-
tary of the chamber of commerce, that
there will be nearly five hundred acres
planted this spring.

ing at an early hour, entailing loss
of more than 100000 Twenty-three

In addition to above losses the
owner had in rooms adjoining the
barn several hundred dollars worth of

surance. but the owner believes that
one policy of $1,000 has lapsed The

valued at more than $4,000.

that the Panhandle and in fact all of

rapidly and cut into small farms, that
pasturage was soon going to be a
thing of the past, and the cattle busi-
ness was gradually declining in that
section. They desired to locate some
where in the eastern part of Oklaho-

stock.

Germany Has Hard Task.
Petrograd, Feb. 16.-Since the
great German forces brought their
last concerted sweeping movement
across east Prussia to the borders
of Russia the conditions facing them
have imposed a radical change in
their tactics.
The central aim of the operations
was very clearly defined up to a point
when the Russians succeeded in
drawing out from the gap between
the swift columns of The enemy
north and south, which were begin
ming to pass beyond them on both
tlanks. The Germans now find they
have still to fight combination Of
Russian columns inside the fringe of
Russia and in the bare, thinly popu-
lated plains of northeast Poland. The
determined fight the Russians have
maintained in the angle along the
line from Lyck to Grajevo, where
they still hold the ascendency, has
prevented coordination of attack by
the German army that crossed east =
ward on the borders of Poland and
its northern partner which is now
held up against the Russian defenses
on the Nieman.

OKLAHOMA
SCHOOL FUND
VS.. ROAD FUND

1t is amusing to note the watchfu
care that is exercised by the (watch
dogs of the school fund that the
fund be preserved for posterity and
our children's children.
Every safeguard Is invoked to OBJ
tain one hundred cents on the dollar
for every dollar expended, and pre-
serve the money The work of the
school department is centralized un-
der a state superintendent of public
instruction, who determines the state
standards and requirements for the
state. Each county has a county
superintendent of public instruction
who determines the standards and
requirements for the county and ex-
am.nes and certifies the fitness OF
the teacher, and state aid is given
the school districts annually to help
make education a success and main
tain state standards and conserve
the money.
In round figures, about $6,O00000,
(siX million dollars) are expended
annually and not a dollar is paid out
without the most careful checking up
of its recipients claim.
A Striking Contrast.
In the expenditure of $30OO,O00,
(three million dollars) of road funds,
where is the watchdog of the road
fund? It would seem evident to the
careful observer and taxpayer that
an equal amount of watchful care
must be observed in the expenditure
of the road money, If it Is necessary
TO do so in the expenditure of the
school money, so as to obtain one
hundred cents of value for every dol
lar and conserve the road money.
Why make a political machine out
of one and not out of the other,
when one-half as much money is ex-
pended annually? Why not place
them both on the same plane and
divorce them both from politics?
Why should we carefully guard the
expenditure of six million dollars
school fund and turn three million
dollars road fund over to political
followers to divide up among them
selves, without any accounting for its
proper and economical expenditure,
and without any examination as to
the qualifications of the recipient to
properly eXpend same? Can any
sane, intelligent citizen give any
plausible reason why we should so
jealousy guard the school fund and
rot have the same reason apply to
guarding the road fund and conserve
it from unwarranted and ignorant
expenditure?

ENGLAND WILL EXERT EVERY
MEANS TO CUT OFF FOOD
SUPPLY OF GERMANY.
TO SPEND BILLIONS
George Paid Tribute to France,
and Said the Allies Would Stand
BY Belgium to the Last.

London, Feb 16.-The countries
fighting against Germany, Austria
and Turkey up to the present time
have thrown only a third of their
strength into the field To maintain
this force and to bring the remaining
two thirds into action will cost two
billion pounds (S1O,OOO,OOO, dur
ing the current year.
This announcement was made in
the house of commons Tuesday by
David Lloyd George, chancellor of
the exchequer, who, with Winston
Spencer Churchill, first lord of the
admiralty, gave the British public
perhaps a closer view of the machin-
cry behind the great struggle than
any that has been afforded since the
outbreak of the war.
Mr.. Churchill declared, amid cheer
ing, that Great Britain finally had
decided to clamp on every ounce of
sea pressure to choke off Germany s
food supply in retaliation for the
German sa5marine policy, while Mr..
Lloyd George drew additional cheer
ing by reference to loans to coun-
tries which, he said, he expected to
throw in their lot with the allies.
These countries the chancellor did
not name. 1t was the first time that
reference was made in parliament of
such expectations
The announcement of the govern
ments decision with relation to Ger
many's food supplies came almost
coincidentally with the receipt of
two dispatches from the United
States, one saying that Count Won
had informed the Washington gov
ernment that Germany will be will
ing to abandon her submarine policy
providing Great Britain ceased in
terfering with cargoes of foodstuffs
and the other saying that he again
had advised neutral shipping to
avoid those waters which Germany
had declared would become a dan
gerous war zone three days hence.
Mr. Lloyd George gave the details
of the financial arrangements of the
allies as they were decided on at the
Paris conference of the British,
French, and Russian ministers Of
finance, and put into round numbers
what heretofore had been guessed->
the remarkable increase in the pro-
ductivity and efficiency of the Rus
sian people by the prohibition of the
sale of vodka. This productivity and
efficiency he placed as high as so
per cent.
Great Britain, the chancellor Of
the exchequer said, had resources
which would last for five years and
France perhaps sufficient for three
years.
Mr.. Churchill disclosed for the first
time the total naval losses as a re-
suit of the war. These, he said,
were upward of 5000 officers and
men. majority of them victims of
submarines.
Concerning submarines, Mr.. Chur-
chill outlined what Great Britain
proposed to do as a counter of the
German policy. In view of what he
styled piracy and murder" Mr..
Churchill said it was incumbent on
Great Britain for the first time to
apply the full force" of her naval
power A formal declaration to this
effect, he added, would be made
forthwith.
