The old woman, who wore a very

BANKS WILL
ADVANCE MONEY
FORPEANUTS
WALTER COLBERT STATES THAT
LOCAL BANKS HAVE AGREED
TO FINANCE FARMERS TO EX-
TENT OF 1000 BUSHELS.

Walter Colbert, an enthusiastic ad
yccate of peanut culture, stated this
morning that local banks had agreed
TO finance the peanut seed for the
farmers who desire to plant them to
the extent of 1000 bushels.
This amount will plant 1000 acres
OF peanuts and Mr.. Colbert states
that the crop will be worm more to
the grower than any other he could
possibly cultivate. Mr.. Colbert states
tLat he has had a talk with several
farmers IN this vicinity and they have
agreed ID plant ten acres each. He
wants to get as many as 100 to agree
to this and take the entire 1000
bushels of seed. One thousand acres
of peanuto in the vicinity Of Ardmore,
where a market Is assured, will be
worth a lot of money to the farmers
Mr Colbert believes he will succeed
in getting that acreage pledged.
The seed will be distributed through
the Chamber of Commerce, and any
one desiring to place an order may
90 so through the secretary. Mr.
Colbert states that he will have fifty
acres in cultivation this year.

TTEE
SET DATE FOR
LAST HEARING
CITIZENS COMMITTEE WILL MEET
AS SOON AS GOVERNOR CRUCE
RETURNS, AND WIND UP LAST
OF CLAIMS AGAINST SANTA FE.

As soon as Governor CruCe returns
from Guthrie, a date will be set for
the final meeting of the citizens com
mittee to consider claims against the
Santa Fe as a result of the great eX-
plosion in September. There are sew
eral claims of minor importance to be
disposed of and one large claim that
will probably be settled when the
committee meets, as the claimants and
the railroad company are very close
together at present Up to date the
railroad company has paid out in
claims approximately one million dol
lars this does not include claims for
destroyed freight that was in the
freight house, or in cars standing on
the tracks at the time of the explosion,
nor does it include the personal loss
of the Santa Fe whose depot, freight
house and many cars and engines were
destroyed or injured The freight
claims were settled through the
freight department and the amount
stated above was what the local claim
agents disbursed for personal, injury,
death claims and property loss.
The local claim department reports
a few beated claims that have been
filed since the committee was in ses-
sion last, and these will have to be
scrutinized by the committee to ascer-
tain the amount of merit they possess.
So far not one suit has been filed
against the railroad company, all ques-
tions have been settled by the COM
mittee. 49, s
