INDICATE
LOOK FOR
BIG CROP
Grady Prepares for Bumper
Wheat Harvest; Binders
Selling; Will Handle
Big Yield.

That Grady county farmers are eX
pecting the biggest wheat harvest
on record in the county to open in a
few weeks is evidenced by the prep
arations that are being made. Local
dealers are booking many orders for
binders and binding twine is being
shipped here in quantities never be
fore known Also the farmers arc
keeping an eye on the labor market.
County Agent Owen estimates that
a binder for every five hundred acres
of wheat will be available during
harvest, and if weather conditions
are ideal during the harvesting pc
riod, these machines will be adequate
to take care of the crop However, ="
Mr.. Owens said this morning, ''if
Grady county is visited by frequent
rains during harvest, many acres of
wheat may go to waste because Of
the inability Of the farmer to secure
harvest machinery. Local hardware
men and farm implement men are
not keeping large stock Of binders
on hand, and very few of these ma
chimes could be obtained immediate
ly.
81 have been told by some of the
leading hardware men of Chickasha, y
he continued, that they were not go
ing to buy binders except when they
received an order for one Of the ma
chimes. Therefore, if the working
days in the harvest season here are
cut short, farmers who do not own
binders may be unable to secure the
use Of one when it is vitally needed.
Everything is all well if the rains do
not interfere" he concluded
Twine and binder supplies are also
plentious, according to Agent Owens
"The best of this material on the
market can be bought in Chickasha
and | see no reason why the coming
harvest will not be a remarkably
successful one if rains are not too
frequent"
Harvets season opens June 1st ana
will continue for twenty-five days,
Mr.. Owens says.

use of wireless, searchlights and
flares. The search, it was announc
ed, had turned south toward Dingle
bay Earlier in the evening it had
been announced that Hawker had
landed 100 miles off Dingle bay.

Most disappointed of all, Of course
was Mrs. Hawker, who waited for
her husbands arrival at the Brook
lands field FOR several hours.
Hawker had been in the air about
twenty-nine hours at the time he was
reported to have been forced down
1t is considered likely that lack of
fuel made the landing necessary
Haawker, it was known, had counted
upon making the flight in little
more than twenty hours and may not
have carried sufficient fuel for a
longer flight.

Washington, May 20.-cahne for
the repeal or amendment Of the war
time prohibition act affecting beers
and wines, new organization of in
dustry to benefit labor and promis-
ing the early return to their owners
of the railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone lines of the country, President
Wilson sent his message to the new
congress.
II was the first time that the pres
ident has been compelled to address
an all Republican congress and the
message was first read in both hous-
es of congress instead OF being de-
Iivered personally before a joint ses-
oon of the nations law makers.
1t was essentially labor message,
the president stating at the outset
that this question Islands at the
front of all others in every country
amidst the present great awaken
ing" The message outlines and calls
for "new organization of industry
by which the workers may have the
opportunity for a genuine partner
ship" and participation with capi-
tall"
The president, it is held from the
tone of the message, directly spon-
sors the slogan for the so-called Glib
eraI labor" and the progressive ele-
ment" in all countries.
Politicians in the nations capital
saw the deepest significance in the
presidents stand taken in cOnnec-
tion with the next political cam
paign.
Senators 5orah and Kenyon of the
progressive" group in the senate
have recently spoken in support of
a new and greater consideration Of
labor.
The president points out in his
message that the change must come
largely through voluntary co-opera-
ton between capital and labor adding
that Legislation can get only very
little way toward commanding what
shall be DONE"
For the most part the message
deals with the subjects in general,
and its terms are necessitated, the
president stated by the fact that he
has been for SO long out of daily
touch with Intimate sources of infor-
nation.
His specific recommendation for
the repeal or amendment of the war
time prohibition act, came as a sur
prise. The president says in his
message that he feels the emergency
has passed beyond the point where
the continued ban on wines and beers
is unnecessary, but that he has no
