ERA OF PROSPERITY HAS SET
IN FOR SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
Due to Rapid Development OF Live
Stock Industry Land Advances
Rapidly.

Special TO The World.
RINGLING, Okla, Nov. 10.-Three
outstanding facts arise out of Southern
Oklahoma's Unprecedented era of
prosperity. It's land has advanced $40
to SIS an acre. Some of its big
ranches are TO be subdivided so that
farmers may acquire homesteads.
High grade cattle everywhere are dis
placing those OF lower rank.
Among recent transa actions was the
sale of three hundred acres OF land
belonging to Wigs q Dillingham; Of
Madill to Lum Stroud of near Ring
ling. 1t adjoins the Stroud holdins
and will be utilized largely In breed
ing and growing registered cattle.
Harwell & Carpenter, dealers in
Ishorthorns. have sold Stroud part OF
n herd bought in a drouth- stricken
region of southwest Texas. Walter
Rose and Newt Rice are other pur-
chasers of these cattle. which are
Herefords, Durhams and Jerseys.
| Cattle men are becoming breed
ers," largely. Today they are buying
registered cows and high priced bulls
and their ranches are no longer mere
grazing places to hold cattle while the
markets are manipulated. Every week
shows reduction in the number Of
low grade cattle"
Every tract of land his firm had for
sale has been sold. Mr.. Harwell says,
and dirt is at premium. Almost daily

pointed. Neither are there any town

practically out of the question. Within

declaration OF County Judge Bob"

dred small cars have been stolen In
the oil counties of eastern Oklahoma

Today hundreds Of these stolen cars

Inefficiency of u. S. Mail Service
Shown by a Railway Postal Clerk

To the Editor Of The Bee:
Much has been said and written in
regard to the delays of mall the poor
system of efficiency, and would like
to add a few words more if you will
be so kind as to permit space in your
paper. We have found out that not
every paper will tackle this question,
especially the democratic ones, as it
is too much of a reflection on their
administration. Should the postoffice
appropriation bill come before con-
gress including in it an amendment to
raise the price OF transportation you
will see some swift action on the
part of our senator from Nebraska
denouncing it and fighting against
such outrage; merely it would come
out of his pocket Example-last
congress.
The latest and most serious of Of
lenses the Postoffce department is
perpetrating is to have clerks as
signed in terminals work about nine
and a half hours day and seven
days a week. Such an order came
out recently through the division
superintendent and chief clerk. The
congestion of mail brought this about
and so consequently we must submit
for a while yet, but things are going
