MANILA FELTS
Correspondent and Agent

District Agent c. w. Collarmar
of Saltwater, was here yesterday and
the day before in conference with
the county agent, and visited certain
sections OF the county. Mr.. Collar
man says Garvin County is the wors,
scared and least hurt of any county
he knows of and he thinks mistake
has been made in calling off the
county fair Garvin County will pro-
duce above an average for the state
this year, but the production will
be so far below the ordinary yield
that the fair association thought an
exhibit might not be collected that
would do credit to the county.
Notwithstanding the county fair
has been called off, the county agent
is planning for an Exhibit Day to be
held few days prior to the opening
of the State Fair. While there will
be no fund for cash prizes, ribbons
representing the first, second and
third winners will be awarded and
from these exhibits collection for
the state fair will be made. County
Agent Felts will not depend alto
gether on these exhibits from which
to make a state fair collection, for
he is already gathering good prod
ucts from wherever he can find them
and Judging from some he is bring
ing in, Garvin county will make a
creditable showing.
Jess Chrun of near Duncan passed
through here looking for a young
man named Myers and span of
horses, which he sold Myers. He
says he accepted check from
Myers in payment for the horses,
but the check proved to be of no
value.

HUMAN PERVERSITY

MANY Of the American soldier boys
in France were sorely disappointed IN

and il was not the fault OF the gov
eminent. bur the obstinate stupidity
OF the senders. who ignored the re-
peated publicity Of the conditions that
would insure delivery. The announce
menr made in October last was 70 the
effect that Christmas packages under
certain conditions would be transport
eti 70 soldiers in France. and that they
had to b. at the port Of embarkation
not later than December 5. This
statement was sent broadcast and the
fullest publicity was given it by the
newspapers and other publicity agents.
One would suppose that there was not
q man. woman or child in the country
interested in sending anything to our
soldiers in France who was not Ia
miIiar with the regulations and the
lime when packages had 10 DC at Ine
port OF departure.
Strange as it may seem. Christmas
boxes were still being received at the
rort OF ambarkation as late as Decem-
Der 40. This is sad commentary on
