BAD BUSINESS

Just how many thousands OF dol

ally put Henry Starr in the peniten.
tiary no one knows. Those who fol.
lowed the career of that super-bank
robber. however, can form some idea
Of the immensity of the amount. Nor
was money the only thing of value
devoted to his capture. Men, offic-
ers and private citizens. risked their
lives, times almost without number,
during the period this bandit was at
large in efforts to place him where
he belonged-behind the bars. Three
years ago he was captured while at
tempting to rob bank at Stroud, this
state. A boy under sixteen, with a
target rifle and an unerring eye was
responsible for the sudden end OF his
bank-robbing career.
Now Governor Robertson has pa
rolled Henry Starr. He Is at liberty
He has received no punishment COM
mensurate with his crimes. What's
the use of spending fortunes and
risking lives to capture criminals II
they are to be so quickly given their
liberty? Whatever the Governors

have no justification in the minds of
the people of this state.

DO you remember the work Of
grasshoppers on The young wheat last
fail? Do you remember that they
began their work on the edge Of the
field end worked out from that point?
! am sure you do. and what We
learned then ought to help us now.
Young grasshoppers are reported as
Matched out now in some sections Of
the county. and investigation shows
that they are Matching out along the
fence rows and on vacant, weed COW
cred lands: the same place they
hatched out last fall. These are the
places where hoppers deposit their
eggs and these eggs have passed
through the winter and are ready now
to hatch out and give the same trou-
BILE with spring crops that they gave
with the wheat crop last fall
II will be too late II we wait till
they are all hatched out before we
do anything. for the brood now hatch
ing will eat on our spring crops and
then lay their eggs which will hatch
out this summer and give us another
brood to work on the wheat this fall.
The logical, common sense thing
to do Is 20 prevent, II possible, the

ready to hatch along the fence rows
and in the weed patches around the
place and on vacant lands that are
in the neighborhood.
These eggs are deposited in holes
in the ground, some three to four
inches deep. and in many instances.
where there is trash on the ground.
they are not that deep. In such
places they can be destroyed now BY
burning the trash and weeds. as the
heat from the burning will prevent
the Matching Of all of them except
those that are too deep in the ground
to be effected by the heat. and those
deep ones can be destroyed by simply
stirring the ground to a depth of
three or four inches. which will de-
strcy and fill up their holes and pre-
vent them getting out II they do
hatch.
This is a suggestion only, but in
view of the fact that small hoppers
do not travel far. quick action ON
these suggestions stands fine chance
to make hoppers scarce on your
place this year. If you wait till they
are hatchced, yon win be TOO late

The people elect men to look after
certain duties. They prove unfit and
there's nothing left to do except hire
others. They. being machine poll
ticians. are often no better. There
should be some plan devised whereby
a candidate for office must prove to
have at least some little knowledge
of what his duties are to consist Of.
A banker does not hire cashier
without knowing something of his
qualifications for the Job. A man
does not call in the first man he meets
when member of his family is sick.
He DEMANDS doctor--a man who
presumably at least knows about sick
folks. When trouble comes to man
he hires the best lawyer he knows.
His case Is not handed out to q
preacher or q brick layer.
So II Il all through the catalOg.
But when the folks hire men to han
die millions of their money. to make
laws and administer law. to look af-
ter the intricate business of state.
they do so because his name Is on a
ticket their dads used to vote. Fine
business. So fine that II has about
bankrupted the great state Of Okla
homa.

The farmers more than any Other

The farmers more than any other
class Of people should favor the build
ing of hard surfaced roads in Okla
homa. Each mile of hard surfaced
road running through the county will
materially increase the value of farm
lands OF the county. There Is not
man living In this county but what
would like to see a railroad built
through 1t. But had you ever thought
that hard surfaced road would mean
much more to you?
