Methodist Pensions.

More than half the projected $5OOO0 pension fund for
retired Methodist preachers has been subscribed No doubt
the rest will come in before great while Me,hodts
have usually been liberal with heavenly rewards than
with money TO their minister's but better dawn is sight
The time at hand when aged minister who has served
God faithfully for SO years will not be turned to sarve
his way to the peary gates
Neither Methodist preachers any others have any
real chance to lay up treasure in this world il they
wanted to, though they have bounu bank accounts up

THE CRUEL WASTE OF FUEL.

MORE than $50 wagonloads 81 wooden boxes and barrels
are piled up in big hole the corner of Twelfth
street and Mckinley avenue, Next winter that wooden
fuel will he badly needed to keep warmth in the bodies
OF those persons down by the river who unable to bu,

Just why the wholesale merchants OF Oklahoma City
will employ wagons to haul their empty boxes and crates
out to Twelfth and Mckinley instead of delivering them
to the Provdent association is one of the mysteries of
modern business And is of the which has
brought the United States into dsreputc wasteul
nation.
Probably the hauling of this fuel to the dumping
grounds is viewed by the haulers the only to get
rid of the waste stuff But there's better way haul it
to the Provdent association that it may be stored for
use next winter when the stoves in demand.

BUYING A FARM WITH ONE CROP.

GARFIELD county land is the best in the state
Few farms Of that section are for sale. Cheap land
IN Garfield is scarce But, although land is OF high value
in Garfield county, farmer near Enid was able to
raise crop that sold for more than the value Of his
fine farm
The farm consists of $50 acres; the wheat averaged
thirty five bushels to the and brought Of
SLIGO II any like of Oklahoma made better yield
this year the newspapers of the have had the op
portuny of printing the fact
Oklahoma raised about 100000 bushels of wheat this
year The average yield of the entire state twelve
bushels to the acre or one third the yield of the farm
referred to above II other farmers had produced wheat
at the same rate per acre the Enid, we'd
have different tale record of Oklahomas wheat crop
Of 1917, being able to say that we harvested 900OO0OO
bushels instead Of only 100000,
OF course, there will come statement from of
the wheat raers that the Garfield county yield single
farm be equaled by other parts of the state But
there lot Of people who believe that the yield be
increased in the way that the Garfield county farmer
raised wheat than the farmers of other sections OF
the state Newspapers cannot tell the farmers how to raise
wheat, BUT THE GARFIELD COUNTY FARMER CAN.
If any farmers OF this state wish know Of the meth
ods which produced thirty yfive bushels of wheat
they easily learn of the simple plan by asking the man
who tucked than 81 600 of wheat money in his inside
pocket There is magic about the performance; this
farmer merely used the best methods which have been
urged by those who know how to raise good wheat and
plenty of it.
tractor show held at Enid about one year ago
In the demonstrations, $50 Of stubble powed
with tractor to a depth Of six to eight inches The land
back to wheat by the owner and this is the man
who sold the wheat last week for money than his
whole farm is worth
The expert, have been preaching deep powing for
good many years the who has $ll 600 from his
wheat crop Of the who listened to the advice
OF scientists who urged deep blowing for wheat and then
put the advice into practice II any still doubts that
the deep plowng holds the moisture and causes better
yields, he might compare the J5-bushe yield in Garfield
county with other wheat yields of the where
about eight bushels per acre was the record 1t will be
found in most of the that the low yields land

HIDING OUR LIGHT UNDER A BUsHEL.

IFANSAS beats Oklahoma when it comes to advertising
- but Oklahoma will admit Of taking second place
to Kansas at any point along the line.
Kansas is able to get lot of free advertising IN the
newspapers OF New York and other eastern cities. okla
homa should arrange to do the When we sit idly
BY and permit the izfge eastern publications tell OF the
wonders Of the backyard garden movement OF the Sun
flower State hiding light under bushel for
Oklahoma City right at the front in establishing city
gardens No city Of Kansas has many gardens Okla
homa City; yet Kansas talks in print down east about
this accomplishment, while Oklahoma City ucrs no pro-
test we permit our achievements to go unheralded.
Oklahoma needs Spress agent so does Oklahoma City.
We should tell the outside world something about the
der state and let Kansas pick off all the glory Kansas
was great state until her best people moved here to join
In making better But down here don't quite keep
pace with the energetic press agents who laud the acv-
ties Of the Jayhawkers.
Our Chamber Of Commerce Y,isht look into this sub
Jet and see II way be found to let outsiders know
more about what doing in this garden spot OF the
world II happens that the chamber has an assistant sec
rotary who knows how write about what Oklahoma has
done Perhaps the state would help finance the project
II 10 certain that we're not doing enough advertising
We beat the world In many ways but outsiders don't know
anything about It. Unless we find way to tell them,
they'll live in ignorance about the marvel state And its
wrong to deny them this Joy.

combine churches in the smaller towns thus making one
