OKLAHOMA CITY. July 26.-Mc-
Curtain county led In the prod uction
Of sweet potatoes for the vera 1915.
according to statistics that have been
prepared In the state agricultural de-
partment That county had in l,553
acres, from which was produced
129,140 bushels, valued at $74, 560.
McClain county was second with 722
acres, yielding 1920 bushels. valued
IT $57,3S5 Third place was taken by
Nowata county with $4,000 bushels,
valued at $4,000. Statistics further
show that ~ counties in the state pro-
duced sweet potatoes, and that the
yield was good in proportion to the
acreage. Sweet potatoes do well in
many counties in the state, and m
some instances producers have reai-
iZed exceedingly well on the crop. 1t
is said that the 1916 acreage was in
creased at planting time over that OF
the previous year, but 1t is expected
that the hot weather has deprecated
the growing volume Of the crop.

CORONER'S OFFICE
REAL, COURT HOLDS
District Judge Says Names
of Candidates Must BE
Placed on Ballots.

Special to The World
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 2e--Dis-
trict Judge Oldheld today held that
under the Harris-Day code the office
of coroner was provided and issued
mandamus for the county election
board to place the names of candi-
dates seeking that office on the county
ticket. No candidates for the office
of county coroner have been voted 10:
for several years, under the theory
that the office itself was not ia exist
ence. Usually Justice of the peace
did the work of a coroner. The judge
held that the Harris-Day code com
piled several years ago created the
office of coroner, and that when the
legislature approved the code II sub
stantially created the office Of coroner.
1t Is expected the matter Will he fully
tested out, as such a decision If sus-
tanned. woull affect every county in
the state.

Broom Corn Harvest.

HpfrIdI 70 TIC NVIIU'
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 2o. -
Broom corn harvest began this week
in Garvin county. where the rirst Of
the 1916 crop was taken from the
field. Several contracts have already
been executed on a 500 a ton basis,
and 1t is believed the price will not go
much below that on any kind or
brush. The season has been an ex-
cellent one for maturing the brush,
being dry and warm. Harvesting Of
broom corn Will probably begin in the
western and northwestern parts OF the
state within the next week. Here is
where a large part OF the states crop
Is grown. and it is expected the yield
this year will be larger than for sew
eral years. The quality of the brush
will be much better

TEUTONIC POLITICS. & German
citizens are doing more than ever be-
fore in an attempt to defeat Wilson
AMI elect Hughes. The argument is
that Wilson is not neutral. Will
Hughes be neutral? Will human
ity be paramount, as Wendell Phillips
said it should be? Will the RepUb-
lican party stop sending ammunition
to the allies for humanity's safe? l
say no. My reasons:
Teddy is with the Republican
party and he said long ago that the
L. S. should declare war on Germany
on account of Belgium.
2-The steel trust has always been
good to the G. o. P. with campaign
contributions.
Big business thinks war is a
good thing, and as Germany can't
buy or doesn't need as much ammU-
milton as the allies, it favOTes the
allies. When the submarines sunk

Big Business used its machines

That Mysterious Aeroplane

1t seems that, during the time
the mysterious aeroplane was sail
ing over this part of Florida, on
Sunday morning, 18th inst, re-
markable meteor came from the
vicinity of Pensacola, crossing
the Gulf, and expanding itself
over Manatee county. 1t was
seen by several people in the
neighborhood of Sarasota, one OF
whom alleged that after passing
Sarasota, it divided into two
parts which disappeared into the
east. :.
Putting all reports together, 1t
is evident that the aeroplane,
which was real one, came from
the south and passed over Punta
Gorda about l a. m. An hour
later, it was distinctly seen and
and it's machinery heard at Tar
Don Springs and, shortly after
that, it was seen flying over Tam
pa. That was the last time it was
observed.
Now consider the course OF this
aeroplanc: it came from the south,
went north as far as Tarpon
Springs, turned south and disap-
4 oeared after passing over Tampa.
1 Who ever saw a meteor run a.
! round like that? 1t is evident
that there were both a meteor and
| an aeroplane and if there are those
| who are disposed to still insist
| that these two objects were one
| and the same thing, how do they
explain the mysterious aeroplane
| that was seen circling over Mana
tee county a little over four
months ago?
Are all the mcteors travelling IN
South Florida skies equipped as
acroplanes and able to change
their course two or three times IL
two hours?

svnopsis Of Weather and Crop
Conditions in Florida for the
Week ending August %, 1915

The week was one Of the hottest
and dricSt of the summer. 1t was
without heavy, or widely distri-
buted rains, except locally in the
central division, where some
Loavv rains fell. Rain is needed
over the section very generally,
especially in the citrus and truck
inc belts, where the work of seed
mo and transplanting for fall
crops is progressing. Some re-
ports indicate that oranges will be
small should the dry weather con-
tinue much longer in the south

would benefit cotton over por-
tions of the northern division

ROAD BOND MONEY
Trustee Tucker Gives Some Fig
ures that Are Interesting

A. B. Tucker, one of the bond
trustees of the Punta Gorda
special road and bridge district,
who is in active charge of the con-
struction work in this district,
kindly furnishes The Herald with
the following figures, which VIII
prove interesting and instructive
to many readers.
1t will be remembered that the
amount of the bonds was 500.
900. After about six months OF
engineering work followed by
nearly two years of actual con-
struction, there remained in the
hands of the trustees on Aug. list
inst. a balance of bond money a
mounting to $113,S28.60. This
money is deposited in three of the
county banks and is drawing b
per cent interest. Other districts
that have voted bonds are not get
ting any interest on their bank
deposits. This speaks well fol-
the management by our trustees.
The total interest on our bonds
received and due up to Aug. Isl
is ST., 1869. The amount of the
sinking fund on hand is 81 1913,
SO. Adding this last item to the
$113, S2S.60 now in three banks
gives total of $121, 42l,35 casf
on hand available for road con
struction and for paying Interest
on bonds as it falls due.
An immense amount of roao
work has been done, and yet thu
trustees have on hand nearly hal
the amount originally voted fol-
road building Trustee Tucker
says that the balance on hand vii
be ample to complete the system
of roads as planned and agreed
upon in the beginning. He give
also the cheering information thu
the work of hard-surfacing tn
road from here to Arcadia will be
gin in a few days. This is tn
road that should have been cor
structed first of all.
