WESTERN BLIND COUPLE
EASILY RUN BIG FARM
They Are Musicians and at One
Time Travelled All Over
the Country.

Jet, Okla. - Despite the fact that
both are totally blind, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry A. Hubbard successfully op-
crate the farming part of a half sec
ton of land they own just west of Jet,
in Alfalfa county. Both are retired
musicians and expect to spend the rest
of their days on the farm enjoying life
They have Travelled extensively all
over the United States giving concerts,
but three years ago settled down to
the rural life near here.
Mrs. Hubbard was blind at birth,
and her husband was made so previ-
GUS to their marriage. Curiously
enough, they use different systems Of
reading, and each reads a great deal,
especially the books that are sent to
them on the "round robin" plan from
the blind schools. Mrs. hubbard is
an adept at reading by the raised let
ter system. Her husband uses a more
modern way of reading and one con-
sidered by those who know it to be
faster than the raised letter system.
1t Is a series of holes cut in the paper
at lulcI Wis Iuey are lOCdIeu, ITOm
one to six, both above and below a
standard line, designating a character.
Reading occupies great part of their
time when they are not at work doing
one of the many chores about the
farm.
To the casual observer the farm is
no different from the usual well ar
ranged farm in the community 1t
is a noticeable fact that all of the ma
chinery and implements used are kept
In sheds and out of the way.
Time was when these two people
were on the road all the time Blind
musicians with the ability they are
able to show are in demand in the
musical circles of the country, and
they found no trouble in getting all of
the engagements they could fill. Play
ing practically every instrument made,
the two of them composed an orches-
ira, one of their program numbers be-
ing a duet in which seven instruments
were played at the same time.

Incorporated in the call for the con-

national committee, is the plank in the
Democratic party's platform which
was adopted at Baltimore providing
for an expression of preference for
presidential candidates and the selec-

There will be very few federal office
holders in the Democratic convention.
This departure from the established
practice of president seeking re-
nomination is in accordance with the
wishes of Mr.. Wilson himself.
In the coming convention there will
be not half dozen men who hold FED

that actuated the president in deciar-

are variously estimated at from 4O0,-
600 to 100000, and the historians say
that $4,000 were killed on the field.

gross exaggeration, but it is certain
that few battles of history have been
