and higher. The Terrell Daily Tran
script comments as follows:
"Congratuating itself on the arrival
of carload of paper that was order
ed in March, the Denton Record
Chronicle authorizes anybody to wa
ger his or her last copper that it is
going to economize in the use of print
paper hereafter. The high price of
paper would bring ABOUT good results
if it should beget like good resolutions
on the part of good many of our
exchanges. They are wasting good
white paper by printing eight page
papers in four-p towns. Others are
wasting by giving most of their first
pages to scare heads. The really
successful papers are those that print
the news. Big display type where
news ought to be deceives nobody,
and it costs lot of money at the
present value put on white paper"
This is excellent advice. Forum
ate is the publisher who found him
self overstocked at the beginning of
the war. America is a neutral nation,
but Americans must pay their quota
of the cost of war whether it be in
Europe, Asia or Africa. Publishers
and their patrons are paying it in the
excessive cost of print paper and all
other printing materials. No, their
patrons are not paying it, because the
paper prints as many pages as ever,
and are put to an extra expense for
everything that enters into the manu-
facture of a daily or weekly Journal

GOVERNOR CALLS RECRUITS
FOR FIRST IMENT

Oklahoma City, Okla, June 20
Calling attention to the fact that the
First regiment Oklahoma national
guard, is now about 500 short of war
strength, Governor Williams this
evening made public appeal to the
citizenship of the state to aid in re-
cruiting the guard to the required
strength Already a movement has
been started for the organization of a
second regiment in the state, but the
governor urged that the First regi-
ment be completed first, as the war
department would not encourage the
organization of a second regiment un-
til the first one has the required num-
Der of men.
Under the direction of the war de-
partment the Oklahoma national
guard recruiting officers have been
called in 1t VII now be necessary,

IOWA BANKER
MADEFORTuNE
IN OKLAHOMA
MR.. VOORHEES, SAYS WOODROW
WILSON WILL POLL MORE
THAN DEMOCRATIC STRENGTH
IN HIS STATE.

| j. c. Voorhees, who has been here
from Anita, Iowa, on business trip
left yesterday afternoon on his return
trip. He has not been here for sew
eral months but he has kept in close
touch with the field. Mr.. Voorhees,
made investments here several years
ago, some of his lands happened to ge
in the producing area and he made a
| nice fortune at Healdton. He has
other lands north of Wilson and un-
less he makes a deal with others
to do drilling he and his partner E.
a. Walker, of Oklahoma, will drill a
test in township south and 2 west
between now and the first of the
year
While Mr. Voorhees, made lots of
money in oil lands he passed up
deal on which he could have made
the neat little sum of $350,00O. He
and his partner Il. A. Walker, sold
to the Ardworth company some lands
in section 1913 on which the Ard
worth people made a profit of three
quarters of million and these men
could have made that profit had they
drilled instead of selling. But after
all the owners used good judgment,
they made hundred times more than
they ever expected to make out of
their investment and they sold at
time when the lands were not in the
proven area and they eliminated all
risks by selling.
In speaking of Woodrow Wilson
and the state of Iowa, Mr.. Voorhees,
states that Mr.. Wilson is very popular
in that state and while the democrats
cannot hope to carry Iowa, yet Will
son will get far more than the demo-
cratic vote of the state. There was
some criticism early against the
policy of Wilson with reference to
Mexico but the people see the ques
ton now as the president saw it and
they are admitting that Mr.. Wilson
was right.

FARMERS HAVE A CHANCE

VIII someone who knows tell US
why farm lands are so cheap in this
country? An Ardmore business man
stated recently that he had been of
in the county at $50 an acre. He also
stated that lands could be bought for
$40 an acre, and there are many acres
OF the poorer lands that can be had
for $3.50 an acre. This condition does
not prevail with reference only to this
immediate section of the country, but
lands in north Texas are said to be
very slow . sales and at low prices.
Men who depend upon farm land sell
Ing find their business poor picking,
There Is apparently no reason for
cheap lands in this country Titles are
good and lands are productive. The
country is reasonably well provided
for in the way of transportation and
markets are always good There is 4
good cattle, hog and sheep market in
Oklahoma City and also in Fort
Worth.
There were two or three years here
when on account of lack of rainfall
farm lands did not pay dividend.
But those conditions were not local.
There was lack of moisture in a doz-
en- different states a, the same time.
But last year the rains were plenti-
full and so far this year the seasons
have been very favorable.
These $3.50 lands are productive
lands They will NOT grow big crops
OF corn and wheat but they will pay
for themselves IN one good cotton
crop. The same lands will grow an
immense amount OF feed in Sedan
grass. in peanuts and in kahr corn
and kindred crops. Any hustling
farmer can pay for a piece of these
lands out of one crop. The chances
now are very good that there will be
a series of productive years. We have
had series of years when crops have
been light Lack of moisture here
is the exception ana not the rule.
There are very few years when light
crops are made.
Oil investments may have destroy
ed land values for the time being.
When an oil investment is made just
l,t h,,t
investment in agricultural lands is
always right and always yields a fair
dividend and especially will invest
ments be good at this time when lands
are so cheap,
Every farmer ought to take advan-
tage of the opportunity to own
home. The state has a fund to help
him in this good work.
