CoMMENOS SECRETARY.
State Examiner Parkinson Makes Re
port to Governor.

Oklahoma City, April 1l.-A report
on the condition and operation of the
office of secretary of state from April
/, 1912, to Jan. /, 1915, has. been
made by State Examiner and Inspec-
tor Parkinson 10 Governor Williams.
The period covered was during the
latter part of the incumbency of Ben
F. Harrison as secretary of state.
1t shows the greatest attention to de-
tail by the recent secretary and
points out that he collected interest
from the state on daily balances OF
state funds under his control to the
amount of over $500 and turned the
sum into the state treasury. Inas-
much as the law does not require
this to be done for the fractions OF
periods between deposits with the
state treasurer, it was considered
worthy of commendation.
The amount of fees earned by the
secretary of state during the period
covered was $131,519.49, which shows
that the office is good producer OF
revenue for the state.

FARM WORK
FAR ADVANCED
IN THIS CO.
NEARLY ALL CORN PLANTED,
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BOT
TOMS - kAFlR AND FETERITA
TO BE PLANTED.

Nearly all corn has been planted
in this county with the exception OF
the bottom lands, and between now
and the time for planting cotton, a
large acreage of kafir, feterta and
ensilage crops will be planted.
Secretary West of the Chamber OF
Commerce stated this morning that
farm work Is well advanced, when
the weather conditions, which have
prevailed here this spring, are taken
into consideration, and that cotton
seed will be in the ground about the
usual time. The cotton acreage in
this county will be reduced, accord
ing to statements of the best plant
ers, from 20 to % per cent. In its
stead more crops will be planted and
more attention will be paid to raising
hogs for home consumption. The
hog question in this county is being
urged by the better class of land
owners, and many are giving theiT
tenants assistance in securing brood
sows. The question of provisioning
the tenant farmer has been one that
has caused considerable study here
and the owners are urging them tC
raise their own meat, raise poultry
for home consumption and the mar
ket, plant a vegetable garden and
keep out of the grocery store as fai
as possible. This idea is gradually
taking root, with the result that ten
ants are becoming more independent
every year and are also gradually
becoming land owners themselves.
Diversification is growing in thi:
section of the state. Property owners
are gradually learning not to depend
upon one crop, and as this plan is
followed out, success attends the eff
fort. This season is going to see a
vastly increased acreage in peanuts
in this county, and the Truck Grow
ers' association has already made
preparations for a large acreage, in
watermelons which can be shipped
profitably.

EXTRA SEATS REQUIRED
Series Of Sermons at Broadway M. s
Church Attracts Crowds.


The interest at the Broadway Metho
dist church yesterday was the best
since the beginning of the revival
services The attendance at the Sun
day School, at 9:45 was unusually
good. and great interest was manifest
ed in the lesson. At IL o'clock the
auditorium was filled and the con.
gregation listened enthusiastically to
one of Dr. Buffers powerful sermons,
prevailing on men and women to turn
from their sins and do right.
At the evening services extra seats
were provided to accommodate the
people while they listened to a rous.
ing revival sermon by the pastor, his
text being, Thanks be to Go, Who
Giveth Us the Victory"
The song service was under direc.

able and successful evangelistic sing.

power in telling the story of the Cos.

that as soon as this movement be-

With the operations in this district
of France, those in the Carpathians
divide interest, which is being barely
satisfied with the meager official
reports from the various headquar-
ters.
The Russians. like the French
apparently are making progress in
the capture of important points which

( They are in possession of the whole
principal chain of the Carpathians
and at some points are descending
the southern slopes and are approach
ing, if they are not already in, the
Uzsok valley, south Of the pass ol
that name.
Fighting is going on under ex-
tremely difficult conditions, the
ground being covered with snow
which is commencing to soften, while
the Austro- Germans continue tc
bring up reinfOrcements in an en-
deavor to check the advance. The
Russians, however, appear to have
confidence in their ability to handle
the task, for. simultaneously they are
showing considerable activity both
on the east Prussian frontier, where
they claim success over the Germans
and to the south of the Vistu'a
where the Germans say they have
repulsed Russian attack.
The allied feet has, according tc
unofficial reports, been bombardiHg

done to prevent the Turks from re-
pairing the forts, for it is not b.

London April 12.-Russian sources
report the invasion of Hungary has
begun with the Russians advancing
successfully along a wide front be-
tween Bartfeld and Uzsok, descend
ing along the southern slopes Of the
Carpathans and pressing the Austr-
ans back.
In the Dukla region, the Russians
claim to have routed the Austrians,
forcing them to abandon their stores
and transports.
Petrosrad asserts that there are no
signs that the Germans have sent fur
ther renforcements to the Car

in northern Poland have been weak

the Germans are sending troops from
North Poland to some other part Of

Newport News, Va, April 1.-THE
German converted cruiser Kron Prinz
wilhelm, another raider of commerce
in the south seas, slipped into this
port Sunday and asked for fuel and
provisions. Many times reported de
stroyed the former North German
Lloyd liner evaded hostile warships
for eight months while she sent fifteen
merchantmen to the bottom, and her
officers said she was forced to steal
her way past four French and British
cruisers off the Virginia capes in or
der to reach this refuge.
I'VE got in without being seen by
the enemy, and We can get out the
same way" declared her commander,
Lieutenant Captain Paul Thierfelder,
formerly navigating officer of the Ger
man cruiser Karlsruhe, in a state
ment Sunday night.
When she dropped anchor, the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm had less than twenty
five tons of coal and scanty provisions
for the crew of 500, and sixty-one
prisoners from British merchant ships
sunk in the South Atlantic. OF the
afteen ships that the drab painted
$1,000 ton cruiser sank, twelve were
British, two French and one Norwe
gian. The value of these ships and
cargoes, officers of the Wilhelm Sun,
day night estimated at $7O00,O0O.
Following in the wake of the in
termed Prinz Eitel Friedrich, which
arrived here a month ago Saturday
after similar thrilling and effective op
erations for German arms, the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm came dashing through
the lane of enemy warships which
had hovered off these shores for
weeks before the Eitel was interned.
