PUT HOME OWNERSHIP LAW
BEFORE FARMERS

That the farmers OF Oklahoma are
not taking advantage of the cheap
money that the State School Land
Commissioners has to lend to them is
evident from the statistics of the
School Land office as shown on the
S1st of March last. That is dut ra-
ther to lack OF knowledge on the part
of the farmers and to efforts of in
terested persons to make loans at
higher rates. seems to be in part, at
least, a fact.
In order to overcome this situation
Il is the intention of Governor Will
hams to make every possible effort
10 place the money ofthe school land
funds nthe hands of farmers and
home builders on farms at the low
low rate of interest provided by law.
To his end Governor Williams prOcur-
ed he adoption of a resolution at the
meeting of the commissioners this
week which directs the secretary Of
the school land commission to take
Op the farm loan pima and the home
ownership plan of the commission
with the seventy county farm demon
stration agents in Oklahoma with the
purpose OF getting such agents in
terested and making of them agents
for dissemination of information
among farmers of Oklahoma as to
the, availability and low interest rates
of this school money that is to be
loaned on farm security.

As cattle are making money at pres

"BEATING BACK"


Ex-Train-Robber AL Jennings, who
was beaten for Governor of Oklaho-
ma, has organized an evengelistic
crew and has associated with him an
ex-State Printer, one G.. H. Farris,
and was impeached while in office.
With them will be several singers
and workers "who have beaten back
to the path of rectitude after having
gone astray." No doubt this crew
of sweet evangels, which will num-
ber fifteen to twenty, it is announc-
ed, will whoop it up successfully.
Many people prefer to get their
spiritual stimulus and guidance from
ex-convicts and ex-drinkers and ex-
disreputables and other redeemed
ones who have gone astray, or, rath-
er, stray ones who have been re-
deemed. Equally interesting with
the effort of the outside world to re-
form the interior of prisons is the
reformation of the outside world
from the interior, so to speak.
There is something vastly inspir-
ing and ennobling in the spectacle
of a man who has been down risen
up. He is a sort of prodigy, curl
osity, a sensation-sand he is a won
derful advertisement for real relig-
ion when he is sincere. His disin-
terested efforts to help other men up
must command the the esteem of
right-thinking people. But when he
makes a business of revivals for rev.
enue and turns the tabernacle into
circus tent and the "sawdust trail'
into tanbark it is degradation SOM
pared with which any sideshow is
respectable. We would refrain from
judging the Hon.-Rev. AL Jennings,
who declares he intends to convince
the people of Oklahoma City that he
is sincere" although he accom-
plished that in his race for Govern
or. We can only hope that he is not
going to perform another great
travesty on religion for revenue on
lly.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Persons in close touch with the
several oil drilling operations going
on In this county report that 1hey are
very optimistic over their prospects,
and that il is about an even break
that there is oil underlying this
country in paying quantities. The
rumor has been current for some
time that agents for the Standard OIL
Company are buying up all the leases
they can secure, and that situation.
IL the report hts any foundation in
fact, makes the proposition look con-
siderably better.
The we'll being drilled by s. B.
Longfellow on the Leo Thompson
place, south of town, is down about
500 feet, and while no statement for
publication will be made by Mr..
Longfellow, he expresses himself
as generally well pleased with his
prospect for strike. Some little trou-
BILE was experienced with the casing,
several lengths of which had to be
pulled to put on heavier rim. but
that has been overcome and the work
Of drilling is going on again.
The Wheeler well, on the Kiersey
place, near Kiersey, is down several
hundred feet They struck quick
sand and an apparently inexhausti-
bic supply of water, and for that
reason strong and extra heavy casing
had to be secured to case it off. we
are informed that this has ben over
come and that work is now progress
ing satisfactorily.
The we'll being drilled near Ben
nington by Ed Butler is down about
fifteen hundred feet. the last five
hundred feet having been drilled thru
solid rock, and the end is not in
sight 1t is reported there that the
formation is softening, and they be-
lieve that they are about through the
strata. Drillers say that the work
in this well costs about ten dollars a
foot through the rock formation
The people drilling northeast Of
Bennington, close to Matoy, are
Keeping their own counsel, and will
have nothing to say about what sort
of luck they are having They have
reached a considerable depth, with
out doubt, and street rumOr has it
that oil-bearing sand has been found,
although persons interested in the
project will neither confirm nor deny
the rumor.
Perhaps half a hundred small COM
panies have been organized or are in
course of organization, the purpose
of which is to acquire all the leases
possible near various drilling opera
tions. 1t is APPARENT that there is
something doing, and whether it is
a series of dry holes or gushers, is
still a long gamble.

POTATOEs nor HURT MUCH

The slight freeze of about ten days
ago caused many persons who had
irish potatoes planted to have some
misgivings regarding their crop. A
number of them got up early and cut
the bitten vines off before the sun
rose, thus safeguarding them, as it
is claimed. However, those who did
not take this precaution are feeling
relieved to see that the vines were
not frozen deep enough to cause a
serious injury or kill them.
