REASON FOR REJOICING.

II you are pro-German, the news OF
a great victory for the kaiser would
make you quite happy, and, similarly
il your sympathies happened to be on
the other side, a triumph for the allies
would make you inclined to celebrate
However In neither case would the
tidings from the war zone mean a
modicum Of as much az the news which
goes out from Grady county todf. -
we refer to the glorious rain which
soaked our soil, saved our crops and
made US all feel good.
Whether we are neutral or belliger.
ent in tendencies. the invasion of Jupi.
ter Pluvius and his triumphal process.
sion through the fields Of Grady coun.
ty affords an occasion for general re-
joicing. How many millions of dol.
lars 1t means to the people of Oklaho
ma We have no means of knowing ex.
actly but that 1t came in the nick OF
time to add vastly to the total produc.
ton Of our farms this year is not open
TO question. Perhaps in some local..
ties the corn had already suffered to
certain extent and no doubt the high
wind did something toward offsetting
the benefits that would otherwise
have been realized but, with all the
necessary deductions made from the
transaction, there remains an excel.
lent prospect for one of the best crops
ever grown In this country.
The old saying to the effect that a
burnt child breads the fire is not TO be
disputed. In the light Of past expert
ences the people Of Oklahoma have
some reasons for alarm when clouds
refuse to show up and pour their con.
tents on the soil for a long period. In
addition to the material benefits Of
the last rain. we must also reckon
with the psychological pressure that is
relieved, and that is something else
Tor which to be grateful. We can now
hitch our fears and proceed serenely
On our way rejoicing with exceeding
great Joy.

Washington, June "a. Purchase Of

mitted at the War Department tonight
confession Of the unpreparedness
which many believe sent the troopers
of the 10th Cavalry on unnecessarily
dangerous scouting duty and 70 their
death. Not one of the twelve aero
planes now on the border could be used
at the time the little detachment rode
out on scout duty.
1--WE didn't have them" said a high
officer in the War Department when
asked why aeroplanes were not used foi
the scout duty instead Of cavalry.
"Why were not some OF the twelve
machines on the border used" he was
asked. .,
I'VE had trouble with all Of them.
he replied. at would not have been
safe to have sent an aviator dp IN any
OF them"
Members of Congress Indignantly
pointed out that while the lack OF APP
propriations for army aeropanes last
year could be blamed for much Of the
trouble. il could not be blamed for
failure to purchase aeroplanes needed
at the time of the march into Mexico.
"Ilad President Wilson asked Con
gress three months ago, when the pur-
suit Of Villa began" said one member
of the House. "for an appropriation for
aeroplanes, it would have been passed
with a whoop. ! don't know how long il
would take to train hiers, and ! do not
know how many men have been trained
but Congress can't be blamed for the
lack Of machines. When the President
ordered the troops into Mexico he could
have obtained aeroplanes as easily ss
no obtained rnotor trucks"

Hughes, Jr., Good Shot.

fTroni q star Correspondent q TIE Tribune
Plattsburg. y. y. June 24.-The
rookie regiment IS ready TO shoot with
deadly accuracy. having proved that Al
per cent .of them are entitled TO rank
as marksmcn or better. They have
completed their record practice and
out of the week Of shooting ffty-eight
have emerged as expert rihcmcn. 2O5
as sharpshootcrs. and 27l as marks
men. To the military strategist this
means that the rockies arc q unit Of
rifemen, who would represent the
highest kind Of battle effectiveness.
They shot under conditions simulat-
ing the kind Of shooting they would
have TO DO in respect TO distance. aim
ing and positions if they were
sent into battle against the MeXi-
cans. The instructors say that
those who did not make any rank
ing could be gotten into effective
shape in a months practice. il certain
eve corrections were made, and further
instruction given. A big factor TO con
slider is the fact that many of the men
never shot a rifle before entering the
present period Of instruction.
Hard Test at Range.
To qualify in the first class the men
had to make scores Of $50 out of a pos
sible 225. This entitled them to enter
record practice. In this second round
those who made 21O out Of a possible
25O are ranked as expert rifemen,
those who made 100 as sharpshooters,
and those who made 100 as marksmen,
The conditions under which they shot
we're at ranges of 200 yards, 300 yards,
500 yards and 600 yards.
In addition to this, they had to fire
both slowly and raidly. The former
gave them their own time to take their
aim. In the rapid firing they had 20
shoot ten shots at the 200 and 500 yard
ranges in a minute and half. The tar
