 Gardiner stated that he had been told by the city manager that If he didn't lay off of democratic politics it would hurt his business" It developed during the course of the proceedings that Tom Shaughnessy, chairman of the democratic county central committee, had telephoned to Thompson relative to Gardiner's charge, but that the mat ter was misunderstood by Gardiner who was given the great American privilege of voting for whom he pleased
 Gardiner deplored the unpleasant notoriety of the entire affair and stated that the beginning occurred while he was at work at the legislature.
 County Attorney L. NJ. Laney assured the court that no promise had been made by his office. However, he be- lieved that all should be treated alike. The county prosecutor took occasion at this time to refer to an article which appeared in The Republican which gave a report of Gardiner's arraignment ir Judge Stanford's chambers. MT.

Drilling Contract Let, Work
 Commenced

Quilter and Struwe, well known drill ing contractors, have been awarded the contract to drill Fl Paso-Burk No. 1. They have drilled eight wells in this field-all large producers. They are now completing a we'll near us, and will begin drilling for us this week. In the meantime the rig has been built, and the machinery moved in. The average time required for completing we'll in the Burkburnett field is 45 days. The bringing in of a good we'll on our holdings will be one more vindication of the oft-proven formula; right location, plus honest and competent management equals a producer.

Agriculture Is the Chief
Occupation of FinlanderS

In spite of its northerly position and
its poor soil, agriculture is still the
chief occupation Of Finland, even
though the cultivated area covers only
S.5 per cent of the land. The coop
erative movement, the introduction and
use Of modern agricultural machinery
and improved methods of cultivation
have greatly helped in the develop
ment, but there is ample opportunity
for further development. Cattle rails
ing and dairying also have grown con-
slderably during the last decades. The
lumber industry ranks second in i'm
portance, with about 61 per cent of
the area OF the country forest lands.

Twenty-Five Years After

almost like a penniless outcast he
moved to Virginia, but when fresh
tales came to him Of land to the west
of the Mississippi, then called Lou'si-
ana. his sixty-one years did not deter
him from risking a fresh start. In
1895 he established himself near the
present city of st. Louis and took what
he thought was a deed to land; but In
1903, when this territory passed from
Spain TO the United States, he found
this claim worthless.
But now the American people were
awakening to realization of what
Boone's leadership In Kentucky had
meant to the nation. Congress granted
him $50 acres of land. There in the
West, free from want, he passed his
last days. Twenty-Five years after his
death his remains were brought back
to Kentucky. And, In the land he gave
to civilization, he sleeps, this man who
Carried the torch of civilization among
a savage people and barred his chest
to the shock OF battle that its flame
might not be extinguished."

Origin and Design Of Great
Seal of the United States

The great seal of the United States
was adopted by congress 1856 years ago.
The design was suggested by Sir John
Prestwich, an eminent English anti
quarry, to John Adams, then United
States minister to Great Britain, and
was formally accepted by congress on
June 20, 1882. 1t is composed Of a
spread eagle, bearing on its breast an
escutcheon with 13 stripes. and In Its
talons holding an olive branch and 13
arrows, symbolic OF both peace and
war. The eagle, the suggestion of an
Englishman, has ever since been the
national bird of the United States.
