MORE TENANTS SHOULD TIRE.

r w. WRIGHT Is a farmer in Sequoyah county in east.
~ ern Oklahoma. He is nearing sixty years old, and
until recently was a tenant farmer. For thirteen years in
that county he titled rented land and had paid five thou
sand dollars for the privilege. Doubtless he had been
a tenant farmer before coming to this state, and had paid
other formidable sums to other landlords elsewhere.
Finally, he said, he grew weary of the game, and bought
a farm OF his own. Now he finds a new freedom in his
work, and greater JOY and satisfaction than he had known
in his years of service to tenantry. His new farm isn't en-
trely paid for, but il will be in time, and, meanwhile, his
is the authority to determine what crops shall be planted
and what improvements made, and he is strengthened by
he knowledge that he is building a permanent place for
himself and his family in the community, May he live long
and prosper.
This added publicity is given Mr.. Wright in the hope
that it may inspire other tenant farmers to weary Of that
unsatisfactory game, and reach out to become land owners,
as farmers should be, In proportion to its products, land
in this state is still cheap and there will neyeu be a bet
ter opportunity for the tenant to improve his condition
and get a solid footing in the state. There is plenty of good
