BILL KANTFRAID TAKES

Bill Kantfraid, Cherokee, has
taken under adviscmcnt' the claims
of aspirants for the honor of cleo
ton as Great White Chief of Ok
lahoma." w. L. Alexander's full
page advertisement which appeared
recently in the Daily Ardmoreite,
announcing his candidacy for gov
crnor, inspired Bill to make the fol
lowing comment:

hand, shake the dirt out, and throw
in wind rows, with the nuts up, for
few hours or day. A good way
is to throw rows into one wind
row, and on each side OF it throw
4 rows into one wind row. Make a
stack row OF the three wind rows.
Then stack round 6-foot poles set,
say inches in ground. Pile round
the poles with nuts next to pole, so
as to protect nuts from birds, and
enable tops to cure well. Cover with
coarse grass.
How about threshing?
Peanut growing should be more
or less a community matter, in or
der that a threSher may be had. A
good peanut thresher can be bought
for about $3.50, exclusive OF an en-
gine. \ very good one at that
price is made at Oklahoma City. 1t
will also threSh cowpeas, beans. kaf-
tir, etc. 4 chrage OF l0c to l5c a
bushel is made for threshing. From
100 to 200 acres in a community
would pay someone to buy a thresh-
er. Farmers with acres or less
could haul the nuts to thresher.
How many acres should man
without previous experience plant
1t will not pay to plant less than
5 or 10 acres, just as it would not
pay to have less than that acreage
| OF corn or other field crop.
Should an average farmer plant
peanuts?
Probably there is no better crop
for the average farmers Oh sandy
lands. lie will get ID ton per acre
Of excellent hay If he wishes, he
can feed tops, nuts and all to his
horses, COWS. hogs or chickens. 1t
is Surer crop than corn, cotton
wheat or oats since it is not as yet
seriously affected by insects, hail
dry weather or wet weather. 1t re-
quires no special machinery to plant
and grow it. 1t has sure market
at good prices. 1t is not hard on
soil fertility like grain and cotton
Since it weighs only 30 pounds to
the buShel, it is a crop that can be
hauled long distances to market.

ion of safeguards for the loyal VI
ster minority in Ireland. In doing
so he inevitably lost touch with the
Sim Feiners. Dillon, it is believed,
will be just as reasonable in the
search for proper compromise be-
tween the principles of home rule
and the existing form of the union.
He has the advantage also of com
manding a larger share OF respect
among the Sim Feiners.
There is extreme dissatisfaction
in Westminster with what are con-
sidered to be the half-hearted meas
ures taken by the Irish secretary for
the restoration Of order in certain
counties of Ireland where land has
been seized in calm defiauce Of the
law. According to statements in
the house of lords, the disorders
have been considerably exaggerat-
ed and the military precautions
have been effective. Nevertheless,
the successful issue Of the long and
difficult labors of the convention is
everywhere regarded as the most
desirable step toward a solution of
this old yet never more critical
problem and if it should be an
nounced within the next week or so
it would have all the heartening ef-
feet OF a great military victory.

PEANUT CULTURE

An investigation of the profits to
farmers in growing peanuts as Il
money crop has been made by GER
tain county farm agents. The ques-
tion uppermost in the inyestiga
ton is whether peanuts will pay as
much as corn, wheat, oats and cot
ton. Many peanut growers were
visited and interviewed, buyers Of
peanuts and manufacturers OF pea
nut products, such as oil, butter,
and candy, and manufacturers OF
peanut machinery, such as planters,
threshers and diggers. The results
are herewith given, for the benefit
OF parties interested.

ANY MAN TO ANY MAN
By GERALD STANLEY LEE

DO not know how other men feel about it. but find
it hard with all that is happening to the world today
TO look small boy in the face
When small boy looks trustingly up to me and
see his world - the world he thinks he is going to
have, in his eyes, am afraid.
The look in his eyes of the world he thinks he is
going to have cuts me to the quick
have always felt had ain understanding with
small boy before.
But the last four years when he looks at me in that
old way and think OF his World-the one | see in his
eyeS-the one had mysef-the one every small boy
has right to- | see suddenly instead the one that is
being left for him by by all of U.s. the one he will
have to try to put up with, have to live in, have to be
man in. when you and have stopped trying.
Then when face the small boy want to go off
in wide high place alone and think and ask God
want to so down into the city and f8ht-feht with my
money and with my hope, go over the top with my
religion and then come back and face the small boy.
There are days during this struggle when my soul
is spent and all the world seems made of iron and glass
and all these crowds of people flockn3 through the
streets who do not seem to care.
1t seems as ifI would not turn over my head to save
world to live in myself. . does not matter about
me-and some days the people see so by almost
make me think it does not matter about Them
Then suddenly go by troops of school children at
-four o'clock pouring out into the streets, pouring
like fire, pouring like sunshine out into the sheets
Ii is as the roll of drums for the Liberty Loanl
want to ring great church bells to call people to
the Red Cross!
My rule for mans finding out just how much he
should subscribe to the Red Cross is this:
Put down your name and address on the blank
and leave the amount open to think. Then try going
past schoohouse about four O'Clock when the children
are pouring out
Or in the evening when the house is quiet put
down your name and the best figure you dare on the
white paper
Then go upstairs minute and look in the crib
Then look at your blank when you come down
once more.
