HOW
HOME OWNERSHIP
LAW WORKS OUT
Copy Of New Law Received by
Stacey; Enables Farmer to
Own Land.

Farmers with small capital will
soon have the opportunity to pur.
chase a farm for themselves on easy
terms, under the home ownership
law, passed by the last legislature,
according to VIM. Stacey, assistant
county attorney. Mr.. Stacey today
explained the law, copy of which
has just been received in response to
numerous requests from farmers for
the substance of the provisions
Under the new law, the state loans
the farmer money to purchase land.
The prospective buyer has to locate
the farm he intends to buy. The farm
is then appraised by expert apprais-
ers from the state school land de-
partment. Then If the application for
loan Is approved the. state will
loan up to so per cent Of the APP
praised value of the land out of a
fund, which is money derived from
Another loan will then be made on
q second mortgage, out Of the home
ownership fund, a sum not exceed
ing $4,000 No one owning more than
forty acres of land can borrow money
from the home ownership fund. Nor
will the state assist man in buying
farm of more than 100 acres. No
money in this fund will be available
before the year 1920
county board will be appointed,
composed of three citizens of the
county, who will make recommends

men to appraise the land
This law was passed, Mr.. Stacey
said, with tho primary view Of as
sisting the tenant farmer to own a
home of his own. This is considered
a highly meritorious law. and will
go far toward settling unrest, and
improving the citizenship of the
state. by enabling every man to own
farm.
If a man can buy a place cheap
enough under this law. he can bor-
row practically the entire sum from
the state The energetic farmer, who
has a little money will fin dit of
great aid in enabling him to purchase

Big Land Owner Issues Statement
in Which He Points Out the
Good Accomplished by
Farm Man.
SAYS BIGGEST TAX
PAYERS FAVOR MOVE
Shows How Farmers Look to
Agent for Advice Now;
Would Have Hard Road
to Travel, No Agent

That Grady county needs two
county agents instead of one; that
the very small added tax necessary
to handle the expense Is many times
offset by the good TO the farming
interests OF the county, and that as
far as he has been able to learn, tho
biggest tax payers in the county are
the strongest for the retention Of
the agent, is the opinion expressed
BY W. H. Gilkey, hardware man and
land owner
Mr.. Gilkey points out that when
the county agent was a new venture
in the county, 1t was pretty tough
slodding for the agent, to get the
farmers to think his way, but that
at this time, the soil tillers are
looking to the agent for advice. Ho
also states that the railroads are
very much in favor OF the county
agent plant, being among tho princi-
pal financial aids in getting the
county agent movement started.
Following is Mr. Gilkey's statement:
Il notice in the columns of your
paper that there seems to be some
controversy between our county
commissioners and the people over
retaining orr county FARM agent.
This is a matter which seems TO me
that every man in Chickasha and
the county should he Interested in.
| have been in Grady county over
since our first agent was appointed
here. At that time the railway
companies, think, paid the county
agent one-half his salary. The rail-
way companies undoubtedly figured
that it was good business to do
this. My understanding is that
Grady county only pays one-half OF
the expense Of our agent now, the
rest Of it being paid by the govern
ment and the state Also the men
VINO are working 10 retain our Az
ant leem 60 be among the largest
ta2 payers.
When We FIRST had an agent u
shia county, there was very little
cooperation between the farmers
and our agent, as he could not get
the farmers interested in his way
of farming. The last two agents
we have had have boon very busy
men and at the present time 1t looks
to me as though we needed two
ounty agents in place of one.
have been around his office in the
last six months and he seems to be
BUSY answering questions as any
other business man in town and
when he has to make trips to the
country, there should be some one
in the office competent Of answer
ing these questions.
"The county agents have rend-
cred me some valuable assistance
in several instances which makes
me feel that have been fully re-
paid for the little extra tax that
have paid and ] am sure from the
conversations have had with the
farming public that he is becoming
moro popular each year with our
farmers.
III VIC drop our agent now, We
will have this same hill to climb
again should We put him back on in
tho next year or two.
my position on this is that We
need two agents, but IL the funds
are insufficient for two, let us try
to keep one We have good soil in
Grady county and if we farm prop
erly we will raise more than in the
old days when we had plenty OF
land and not many farmers"

POPULATION OF CITY
UP $4,000 IN YEAR
New Directory Issued Today
Shows Big Increase in Num-
Der Of Residents

Philadelphia had an increase in
population of 121 900 during the last
year The increase virtually is the
total number of residents of n whole
second class city.
This is shown by Boyd's directory
for 1919 and 1920. which contains 121,
600 more names than the issue of 1913
1919 The new directory was issued
today.
The influx of men and women, who
came here for wartime industries, is
largely responsible for the big jump in
population. The figures also help to
account for the shortage of houses.
OF course the Smith and Jones armies
stay in the lead as far as followers go.
hut the Browns and Greens also stick
to their colors pretty well.
There's n big dash 'of patriotism to
the new volume which shows that
twenty four George Washingtons still
reside with us. Incidentally, seventeen
of these Georges are laborers. There is
also n good assortment of Thomas def
fersons and fair number of James
Madisons. Although there are but two
Pershings with us now, 1t IS possible
there will be more If the general listens

The new volume of Boyd's has the
business and city directory under ono
cover. This is the first time 1t has been
issued in this form in 112 years.
There is in all about 193, 900 names

local literature.

Third. Christians are not under any
moral obligation to keep the ritual laws
of the Jewish Dispensation. nor the
teaching of the doctors of the syna-

Fourth. The Sunday laws of the

are not intended to compel us to go to

FOR DR.. GRAMMER.
ST. Stephens Rector Answers
Doctor Alison's Attack on
Liberal" Clergy
OPEN OBSERVANCE BIBLICAL

Criticism by the Rev. DR.. Alexander
Alison of the Rev. DR. Carl Il. Gram
mer, rector of st. Stephens Church
and the Rev. DR.. Frank p Parkin, for
their attitude toward the Sabbath As
sociation was answered today by Doctor
Grammer. ~
Doctor Alison. pastor of First Pres
byterian Church, Coldsprings on Hud-
son, N. Y, formerly held a pastorate
here.
Doctor Grammer today expressed
reticence at first when his views of
Doctor Alison's attack were sought.
Having been askcd.'' he said, "my
opinion of Doctor Alison's letter OF
criticism of my views regarding Sunday
observance, I can only say that I find
in it many asseverations and no argu T.
ments. He asks me directly whether
as a scholar, I can justify my use of
the text the Sabbath was made for man
and not man for the Sabbath, as an ar %
gument for relaxation of Sabbatarian
stringency. My reply is that the whole
passage shows clearly that Jesus made
the remark precisely for that purpose
namely, to justify Himself for not re
buking His disciples for their departure
from the Sabbatarian precision of the
Pharisecs.
Il appeal to every Bible student tc
verify the following statements
First. The rest enjoined in the
Fourth Commandment is rest from
work and does not refer to recreativc
amusement.
Second. The Sabbath rules of the
Scribes were not observed by Jesus if
