Chautauqua Notes


 The reserved seats are being checked up under the direction of H. c. Mitchell at the Brown & Mitchell Cream Parlor. About the busiest man in Bfinkley for the past week was Manager Geo. P. Reid. He kept everybody busy and has been un- tiring in his efforts for the Chautauqua.
 The Chautauqua is Brinkley's first and was rather a big under taking for a town of our size but it's going just the same.
 The clever and kind co-opera- tion by the progressive women of Brinkley in pushing the Chautauqua is just like lem. Brinkley's women are the best on earth.
 ! The prediction is being made by scores of men that there will not be standing room on the night of LaFollette's lecture. Those who enjoy the drama will be delighted with Monday nights number the full and complete costumed production of ''The Romancers" Better reserve your seats early.

 Alfalfa harvest is now on, that is, they have cut and are baling the first crop. Alfalfa is certainly a fine crop.
 Following this part of his letter the writer. young Nc Kinley Moshier, son of J. c. Moshier, who graduated from the Brinkley High School last month and who with several other Brinkley boys recently went to the Oklahoma harvest fields, writes about the fine hogs that are being raised on Oklaho- ma alfalfa. He says:
 MT. c. l.. Ticer has about one hundred and fifty head of Durocs and they are a pretty sight to behold. MT. Ticer has the largest Duroc male in this part of the country. This male weighs between six hundred and forty and seven hundred pounds. He is monster. He stands almost to my waist tho his legs are uncommonly short. MT. Ticer was offered S300.00 for this hog at the Oklahoma stock show last fall and refused the offer. He expects to realize one thousand dollars from this one animal. The hog is two years old and was bred and raised upon Mr. Ticer's farm. { A few months ago Mir. Ticer sold thirty-six head of Duroc Jerseys which averaged him S5t.131@ each. Some money from hogs. isn'tit?

 Being four hundred an d twenty-five miles from Brinkley in the heart of Oklahoma. l feel sure that there are certain read CTS of the ARGUS that would be interested in a short article on this part of the country and therefore l am writing this for the information of those who have never had the opportunity to visit this section of Oklahoma. am located about half way between Oklahoma City and Yukon near a little town called Council, on the Rock Island R.R. The soil here is of a deep loam with an underlying bed of sand. This land can be plow- ed within day after a hard and soaking rain.
 There is some timber here but lit is all very small the best being along the North Canadian River. which winds it's way through the low lying hills.
 The surface is level practically speaking tho there are gentle slopes here and there. The climate has been mile here tho we have had a great deal of rain. However the people here say that they some times have severe drouths dur ling the summer months.
