The curse of farming in the South is debt
debt brought about by credit while growing crop.
Mississippi farmers must get out of this habit
They are nearer this possibility now than ever be-
fore. 1t is absurdly wrong for a farmer to have
to ask credit for food for his family or for feed for
his team. A farmer may well go into debt for a
COW or a mare or even for a good pillow or possibly
for fertilizer, but never for food or feed except for
coffee and sugar and such things. and for -four if
he does not grow wheat. Mississippi farmers have
lust got to get out of debt and keep out of debt for
the living" Every farmer should be tagged who
does not have at least 50 good hens, three sows
and two or three o w and a garden for vegetables

Twenty-second Birthday Of Town Of

Of Old Timers Thrilling Story

Jennings, Okla.-Not for AL Jen-

in this section of the Southwest, COW
boy, horse trader end general rousta.
bout, was the town of Jennings named,
according to Col. George McElroy, the
last Of the cowmen still in the business
in this part of Oklahoma.
The original townsite of forty acres
was given by Joe Jennings upon re.
ceiving promise that the town would
be given his name, McElroy says.
The Pawnee Indian country, includ-
ing the old Oklahoma triangle, in the
center of which is Jennings, was
opened to settlement along with the
old Cherokee strip in September, 1893,
just twenty-five years ago. A number
of the towns within the strip have just
been celebrating the event of their
twenty-second birthday with appropri-
ate ceremonies
The strip extended westward from
the western boundary of the Cherokee
nation, about thirty miles east of Jen-
nings. to the Colorado and New Mexico
border, including at one time. it is
said, the famous No Mans Land, which
is now divided into the counties of
Cimarron, Texas, and Beaver.
Chose Daughter for Race.
The story Of how Jennings was
homesteaded and named is interesting,
therefore, at this time, when the twen-
ty-second birthday of the town has
Just been observed.
Joe Jennings had been resident Of
this part Of the Indian country for
some time, according to Colonel Nc

Marquette, Mich.-In the public H.

which is growing in the shape Of q
cross. Three years ago Peter Dolf,
the custodian, had some clover grow

Out of this clover sprang the stalk
of a strange plant which grew upright
until this summer, when two shoots
branched out near the top at right
angles with the stalk and formed q
cross.
Mr.. Dolf has had amateur botanists
and experts from the Northern State
Normal school examine the plant, but
nobody knows what it is. He does not
remember planting anything but
clover in the pot.

Tho close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis

Made the Race for a Quarter Section.
including half grown daughter. then
perhaps sixteen or seventeen years
old. She was the typical country
raised girl of the border day period.
able to ride, shoot, hunt and throw q
Iass0.
jennings conceived the idea, when
announcement of the strips opening
reached him, that this half grown
daughter should make the race for a
quarter section of land, which the
family would homestead.
The race for homes when the Chero-
kee strip was opened to settlement will
go down in the history of the South
west as the greatest horse race that
was ever pulled off under the sanction
Of the federal government.
Few Knew She Was a Girl.
There were several thousand choice
quarter section farms as the prizes.
and men came from all sections of the
United States to make the race and
win a claim if possible. The swiftest
and most seasoned horses were select
ed wherever they were obtainable, for
all the riders knew that by the men
and animals with the best staying quail
tiles would the farms be won.
Among the riders into the Pawnee
country was the half grown Jennings
girl, and che proved her ability as a
hQrsewoman.
Dressed in mems clothing, with
high.heeled boots and spurs, she en-
tered the race and won claim, a
tract Of valley land lying between two
long ranges of low hills, one of the
prettiest natural spots in the entire
strip country.
Having won the claim, the family
evidently did not care for it, for before
long three-fourths of it had been sold
to John Simmons and the other 40
acres had been given for town site
on condition that the new town be
named Jennings. The family then left
this section of the country. and in Ia
ter years it was reported that Joe Jen-
nings was living in Old Mexico.
