ligence of your readers when you
attempt to gain their favor, and
create disfavor against someone
else, by endeavoring to open up
old sores. What estimate would
you place on my intelligence if |
were to go about the country con-
demning you, because you were
against the bond issue? Who
cares for the opinion or thefriend-
ship of a man who is not big
enough to accord to his neighbor
the same privilege he takes for
himself-to stand up for what he
believes to be right in all things?
The fellow who thinks he is al
ways right about everything, and
everyone who disagrees with him
is wrong, is so little and pitiful. |
have sympathy for him rather
than entertain hatred toward
him.
| notice in the columns of your
paper that you carry quite a good
deal oflegal matter for which you
are paid liberal fees, with which
am connected. What would
you think of me if were to take
the position that these publica-
tions should go to someone else
because you and had disagreed
in some way? | mention this,
that you may see the fallacy of
your position, and hope that you
will cease your TRADES against
me.
Do you think your criticism is
justified when you jump on me
for assuming our present Repre-
sentative would keep his pledge,
and refer all local bills to the peo-
pie for their approval? What
would you and he have had to say
abo ut me, if | had assumed that
he would not keep his pledge?
When a man promises ito submit
any and all measures to all the
citizens of Marion County at the
ballot box" does he mean "all. +"
or does he mean just a part-im-
portant matters affecting the
rights of certain people? Ishould
be glad to have you give your con-
struction of this language, for /
have heard you attempted to con-
strue all" to not mean "all". If
the conclusion that it only refer
red to important matters were
justified, then you would not be
| justified in saying that the redist-
ricting bill is not as an import
ant local measure as could be in
troduced or passed. When you
deny the people the proper right
of local self government, you
strike at the heart of government.
| now most respectfully ask you
to disregard who is for or against
this redistricting bill and discuss
the merits of the measure. And
if | am in error, point out where
| in.
| see "The Hustler" says our
Representative got up the outline
of this proposed measure and ask
ed it to publish same, that the
people might give their views
thereon. When | dared to ex-
press my views through THE
Hustler" the said Representa-
tive came back at me in answer
thereto, with false accusations
and insults. | presume he only
wanted one side of the matter
discussed.
This letter is written for publ
cation, and hope you will allow
it to appear in the next issue OF
your paper.

Vaccine for Hog Cholera.
Just before Cooper came 10 Grady
county the entire county had passed
through an epidemic OF hog cholera,
Dozens Of the bes, herds in the county
had been wiped on, by the disease
Cooper decided that he could be OF
practical benefit to the farmers by help

case which is the dread Of every raiser
OF hogs He offered to help vaccinate
hogs free for any farmer who would
come to him for assistance They came

but the new agent soon showed them

vaccination became so frequent that he

Organized First Free Pair.
Cooper organized and promoted tn,
first free county fair held in Grady
county. This was done in September
1915. He asked for $3.50 with which
to hold county and township fairs. St
successful was he in promoting III,
township fairs that Grady county lee
the whole state In the number OF fair,
held previous to the county fair. II
this county alone there were seventeen
of these township fairs. The best prod

and in trying out these methods in their
school plots. As result OF these talks
many of the schools OF the county now
have from one to five acres which the
students tend in most enthusiastic
manner, and where they try new meth
ods learned in their study OF agricul-
tire. and where each one strives to out
do his fellow in the class OF the prod
uctS he raises on his own small tract.
Cooper has been agent in this county
only three years and to anyone who las
lived here for some years and can see
farmers toward their work and their
relation TO the county as individuals
the results he has accomplished are
truly surprising. The farmers never
come to Chickasha without making a
visit to the farm office where products
OF the different farms are always on
display and where any farmer is wei
come to bring his favorte products and
show them Here they find farm Jour
mails and help OF all kinds in their work
and here they also find the genial farm
agent always ready TO assist them IN
any way possible The farmers are
alert and anxious 10 know and to- try
out the latest methods OF farming They
are interested in the township, county
and state fairs and they feel individ-
ually that it is their duty to put Grady
county in the front rank of the counties
of the state. The boys and girls ar,
enthusiastic over their farm clubs
which comprise such clubs as hog, cot.
ton, corn, better bread, canning anc
similar clubs and they are each doinr
their part in the present crisis to rails,
the best products possible on their lane
and all give promise of making mos
up to- date farmers when their turr
comes to take their places as citizen,
OF the county.

Cooper told the farmers he could fix

into the work of getting acquainted

brought on the Lyle farm, it is made i'm
mune from cholera Lyle figures on a
loss OF at least one sixth in the vaccina-
ton of the hogs This comes from the
fact that the hogs in a number Of cases
are not IN physical condition to stand

Started on 100 Acres.
From a small farm OF 100 acres Lyle
has IN ten years developed into one oe
the largest feeder, oi stock in the Unit
ed States He now has 90 acres and
every acre OF it is doing double duty.
Following the hogs for the last few
months has been about 600 head OF cat-
tie.
lyle is business farmer There is
nothing done by guess work on the Lyle
farm lie knows exactly how many
bushels of corn how many bales OF al
ialia and how much tankage and other
feed each hog takes before it is put on
the market. He knows what each hog
costs him originally and can tell when
the hogs arc put on the market what his
gross profit is on each hog or steer that
he feeds
Community Booster.
Lyle is not only a good farmer, but II
a booster for better community and
city spirit He is one of three farmers
to belong to the Chckasha Commercial
and Farm bureau Lyle is also a MEM
Der OF the Grady County Free Fair as
sociation and is secretary Of Grady

/ Lyle is great admrcr of President
Wilson and Is IN thorough sympathy
with the present war waRcd by the
United States lyle says he is glad
that the greatest productions his farm,
have. ever known Sill be this year when
! the food is so much needed by the Knit
ed Stats ant hcr allies. Lyle saws tho
present war should be waged until the
last veStigc OF German imperialism is
swept from the earth And until that is
accomplished the Lyle farms will be "on

propriated hy the county failed to pay
the expenses OF the fair by $500 the
business men Of ChickaSha were so
well pleased with the result that they
raised the deficit by popular subScrip-
tionS. Last year Cooper received &, 500

and this year when the officers OF the
county fair asked for 5000 for fair cx-
penScs II was given them without pro

ing farmer who says this levy to raise
fair money will increase taxes he re-
plies that the farmers of the county get
all the money back which is paid out
for the fair as the greater amount OF it
is paid out in premiums to the farm
ers OF the county who produce the best
livestock and farm products This year
more extensive preparations for the fair
were made than ever before. The ex-
hibits were housed in a suitable build
ing for the first time and the exhibits
brought in from all over the county
showed that the farmers realize the
value OF a fair and are doing their part
