For the benefit or those VINO 40 not KNOW
about the HORNESPEED PROPELLER
the following will introduce to you few
of the facts The HORNESPEED PRO
PELLER is an entirely new invention COW
cred by four recent United States patents
and is the only invention of its kind in the
world.
The Hornespeed Propeller has great ef-
ficiency over any other Propeller in the
world. 1t also contains many other merits
that no other propeller can accomplish. 1t
will lift machine straight up from the
ground without the running start, and will
LIFT DRIVE and STEER, making flying
PERFECT, SAFE AND COMPLETE in
THE AIR.
The Propeller also can drive any vessel
with considerable more speed than any other
propeller, and they can steer without any
rudders, driving either backward or for
ward at the operators will, without stopping
the Engines.

"Blood- and weary, but

Here is toast one of our brave Of

cepted, but more capital was raised,
and the business struggled on for an
other two years, when further aid
was necessary. This time the aid
was not obtainable in China-that,
at least, is the conclusion to which
one is led, for it hardly seems prob
ably that the Chinese promoters
would have gone to Japan for mon
ey if it could have been obtained on
equal terms at home. A loan was
placed with the Yokohama Specie
Bank for about $l5,O00,000, 5000
600 OF this to be used in paying off
current Indebtedness and SpO3OODO
to purchase improved machinery for
the Tayeh mines. But it is not the
loan itself, or the purpose to which
it was put, which is significant.
What is Of significance at this juno
ture is that the interest, computed
at 9 per cent per annum, was to be
paid off not in money, but in iron
ore, $4,000 tons year. delivered at
a fixed price for varying grades. AS
the loan was secured by mortgage
on the property, Japan thus held the
Hanyeh-ping Company in double
grip.

The Farm Land Bank.

Farm Life: The December bor-
rowings from the federal land bank
on farm mortgaged amounted to
about $9,000,000. Loans to the
amount OF nearly $25O,OOO,0OO have
been applied for. These figures show
that the new system is a success so
far as the farmers are concerned.
There is a demand for money on
these longtime government mort
cages. That demand will probably
grow. AS the war further disturbs
the investment world it will become
increasingly difficult in many sec
tons for the farmers to obtain mon
ey at low rates. There will be great
er need for the federal land bank.
We think the present critics OF the
system are unfair. Conditions have
been extraordinary. We cannot con
sistcntly say that the new plan is
in any sense failure until it has
been fairly tried out under normal
peace conditions.

There is a continual ebb and flow
of troops, men being sent across
the Atlantic as fast as they can be
accommodated in France, and new
ones arriving to take their places at
the schools. Even after the war it

make Camp Humphreys a perma-

One of the most interesting fea-

construction, operation and mainte-

back and forth with construction
material and supplies. The loco
motives are built especially for
foreign service, and the power is
furnished by four-cylinder, fifty

BUCK GARRETT
FOR REELECTION

Buck Garrtt, who has served Car
ter County so faithfully as sheriff,
has made public his announcement
for reelection.
Present conditions, which have
grown out OF the war, will have
their influence upon the county CAM
paign and there will not be SO many
speaking dates and so many cam
paign trips to the voting precincts.
Especially will this be true with ref
erence to the sheritf's office. Prac-
tically the entire time of Sheriff Gar
rett is taken up with his duties. He
is required to give much OF this
time to the County Council of De
fenSe. He has been exceptionally
diligent in the looking after slackers
and he and his crew OF men have
been exceedingly vigilant in looking
after the protection OF property in
the county.
But come to think OF it, have you
ever known an emergency to arise
that Buck Garrett was not equal
to? His heart has always beat in
unison with his people and we have
learned to look to him in every
threatening hour and he had never
failed us. In making his announce
ment Sheriff Garrett stated that he
would not be able TO visit every por-
tion of the county and to see every
voter. That he could not do his full
duty as sheriff and at the same time
devote the summer months to cam
paigning, but despite that fact he
wants your vote in the same old
way and will appreciate it even more
sincerely.
Carter County may justly be
proud of the fact that it has sheriff
who is equal to every emergency.
Sheriff Garrett possesses a person
ality that inspires men TO do their
duty and he also possesses a per
sonality that inspires men 10 do
their duty and he also possesses a
personality that makes men fear the
law as a consequence OF crime. No
set OF bad men has ever had Carter
County at its mercy or ever will
have while Buck Garrett is sheriff.
Whatever the conditions might be
in the next three years as resulting
from the foreign war there will new
er be a time in Carter County when
lawlessness will get the upper hand
OF the people while Buck Garrett is
sheriff.
Mr.. CARROTS friends will be more
active this election than upon other
occasions because he must give
practically all his time to his ofhcial
duties and there will not be vot-
ing precinct where he will not have
a score or more OF loyal friends who
will be diligent to look after his
interests. No ocounty in Oklahoma
ever had a better sheriff than Buck
Garrett has made for this county
and his friends state that he will be
the Democratic nominee on Aug. o
BY a larger vote than he has ever
received before.

"A Sword. Spade and a Thought

IN Enefv

This was part OF the wise philosophy
OF the women In Irish folk lore. and
II is now rich in wartime symbolism.
That the Allied sword Is not being
permitted to rust Is evidenced In the
recent victories on the western front.
Firearms are bright and shining, aud
the enemy IS on the run.s There must
be no relaxing OF the military pro
gram American soldiers must be
kept going in u steady stream that
the Allied forces may push on to .
quicker victory.
These men must be fed. The civil
ian's spade must not rust. The great
er our accomplishment In putting
American soldiers in the European
battlefield the greater is the civilian
responsibility TO keep their bodies fit
and their spirits buoyed.
American agriculture has had ban
ner year. The patriotic response OF
the farmers coupled with favorable
weather conditions has increased enor-
mously the cereal production SO that
all fear OF famine has been removed.
Equally patriotic has been the re-
sponse in the planting OF war gar
dens. Recent reports on the planting
for 1918 show 5,2S5,ooo food plots or
an increase over last year OF 81 per
cent The estimated value of these
food products is s525. 900 600. or SO per

This is no time. however. to relax

reaction will be felt at next years 6

Equal in Importance to the sword

The collective thought of the nation

A year ago last Aprfl America sent
word that she was coming. And she
has made good. Her men are there in
rapidly increasing numbers and the
allied fighters now know that her
sword will not be allowed to rust.
The morale of both soldiers and
civilians is based largely on being
well fed. That America Is ready and
willing to share her food was shown
in the wheat saving last year. She
not only decreased her own consump-
