Happy People, Are The Westeruers.
Oklahoma City, Okla. Dec. A. 1918.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 4, 1918.
Editor Sentinel II didn't come out here
especially to report on the soil, climate and
productions of this part Of the country,
but whenever | undertake to write any
thing from here that subject is the first
one to bob up in my mind. suppose it
is because have taken more interest in
it since have been here than in other
peculiarities observable. Speaking from my
brief experience, feel justified in saying
that the climate of Oklahoma is fearfully
and wonderfully peculiar. At the end of
a dry, scorching summer there was a
torrential downpour of rain; late in the
autumn fierce tornadoes visited various
sections of the State. At town called
Prague, not very far from here, there were
two terrific "twisters" within half an hour
of each other, They fattened out the
whole central portion Of the place, lying
between two large school houses, which
were not damaged in the least We had
no hard frost until few days ago, but
week before last there were six distinct
snow flurries within two days. The rest
of the week was taken up with rain. There
has been sufficient rainfall within the past
six weeks to have made all the crops that
we're planted, had it come at the proper
time.
Another interesting popularity of this
region of the country is the hopeful, cour-
ageous and enterprising character of its
people. They don't seem to worry about
anything, no matter what comes along,
Probably their motto is, Never mind the
weather; let the wind blow"
1t looks to me as ifthis town is practically
owned by few rich bankers and money
lenders. Interest on loans runs as high as IL
per cent, and ordinary homes that are free
from mortgages are few and far between.
Money is said to be very tight just now,
and the city is far from enjoying boom.
But all kinds Of great enterprises are being
suggested that will require barrels of money
TO launch them. One proposition is to build
union depot to cost three million dollars
another is to erect gre y auditorium to
cost as much more still another contem-
plates the erection of an immense club
house, for which million and half will
be required. 1t is admitted that there is
no money in sight for any of these pur-
poses but what is the matter with issuing
bonds and making drive and getting the |
whole population to subscriber" No one
gives a thought to the fact considerable |
portion of the population is pretty well
down on its uppers."
In spite Of these conditions, the people |
push ahead with whatever they have in
hand, and seem to give no anxious thought |
to tht future. Nobody seems to be the
least downcast. Every one is a cheerful
booster They have no use for pessimist
or "knocker." II one is encountered, they
invite him to get out OF town just as quick
as possible.
The average citizen Of Oklahoma City
believes it to be one of the greatest cities
in the world. destined to grow greater and
grander every day that passes.
1t is my expectation to start for the
East in a very short time.

A lank, lean-visaged man,
Well knit aud straight
And brisk OF gait
Each inch American.

Without a smack

A chorus grand
Enthrills the land,
Our hymn Of Liberty.

In sad and loving remembrance OF my
dear husband. David s. Hunter. who de-
parted this life October 20, 1918.
A precious one from me has gone.
A voice loved is still.
A place is vacant in my home
Which never can be filed
When the evening shades are gathering,
And am sitting all alone.
In my heart there comes longing.
II you only could come home.
Yet. again hope to meet thee,
When the day Of life is fed.
And in heaven, with Joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
BY HIS DEVOTED WIFE.
The dearest friend I've ever known.
So pure. so true and sweet;
God wanted you. father dear.
But life is 80 lonely without you here.
