INSTRUMENTS FILED
IN COUNTY CLERKS
OFFICE NUMEROUS

Clarence Harris, county clerk, states
that from 100 to 150 instruments are
coming to his office every day now
to be recorded and the volume of bust
ness is gradually growing The legis
lature has limited his expenses and
he cannot, without violating the law,
employ more help in the office. The
present force is working over time to
keep up as nearly as possible with the
work but with that the abstracts are
about four days behind The question
has been taken up with the county at
torney and was also taken up with the
attorney general but no remedy has
been found so far. 1t has been sug
gested that every man who makes the
sale Of a piece of property contribute
as much as 81 to the office of the coun-
ty clerk. There will be no means of en-
forcing such a rule it is said, if such
rule is adopted by the traders and
is adhered to it will solve the prob
lem.
Sooner or later deals will be delayed
several days for want of abstracts and
those interested say it will be worth
the price to every trader to pay the dol
lar so that all Instruments can be
brought down to date without delay.

range horses in Carter county are be
ing dipped in the fight for tick eradi-
cation in compliance with the federal
and state regulations. The dipping is
being done every IA days and will be
kept up until the end of the warm

The board of county commissioners
are to be congratulated upon the har-
mony that prevails in the county in
regard to dipping regulations In many
counties in Oklahoma and in Texas
there have been an opposition that
grew so severe that dipping watts have
been blown to pieces. No such op.
position has developed here and the
work is being carried out in such an
efficient manner that following ONE
season of dipping Carter county should
be placed above the quarantine line.
In speaking of the work DR.. d. C.

Daily Summary
of Peace News
BY The Associated Press.

Germany will know probably with
in the next As hours, the final terms
upon which she must make peace of
face a further invasion of her ter.
ritory by the allied armies.
Indications in Paris Saturday
were that the terms would be given
to the Germans Monday. If they
are delayed Monday the Germans
will receive them Tuesday.
After receiving the terms, the
Germbans will have maximum of
five days, it is indicated. i'm which
to reply. The Germans themselves,
it is said, are partly responsible
for the brevity of the time in which
to consider the final terms.
Nothing authoritative has come
from the German side as to the
German attitude, the convention of
the majority socialists, or the ad-
ministration party in Germany,
having made no clear statement on
the peace situation. The convention,
ii is reported will continue in ses-
sion at Weimar, until the peace
conditions are received
The supreme allied blockade
council met Saturday in Paris. to
consider measures TO be taken in
case the Germans decline to sign.
The five central nations nearest

pate in an economic blockade,
should the allies request it.
Military plans for a forward move
from the Rhine should the Germans
refuse to sign, We're completed
several week ago. There are no in
dications that any additional
measures have been taken by Mar
shal Foch.
The heads of the great powers
are declared to be convinced that
the Germans vii laccept the revised
terms, Paris advices reporting that
an air of optimism is evident on this
point.
A further modification of the
treaty is announced in today's dis
patches. The later covenant has
been in some respects. What the
alterations are has not as yet been
stated.
Germany having stopped the
movement of General Haller's troops
from France to Poland, which has
for the last six weeks been going
on over German soil, Marshal Foch,
it is reported has sent an ultimatum
of the German armistice commits
sion at Spa, demanding that the
troop trains which are being held
up be started once more on their
way to Poland. Germany's action
is due to the alleged fact that the
Poles intend to distribute some of
Haller's men along the German
frontier.
The Chinese cabinet has resigned
as a result of the popular emove-
ment against ministers alleged as be
pro-Japanese in sympathies. The
president also has intimated that
he intends to quit office, but it is
said that parliament will decline
to accept his resignation. The
situation in China is reported to be
serious as result of strikes
throughout the country.

POLITICAL UPHEANAL IN
FRANCE MARKED BY POWER
or EXTREMIST MINORITY

Paris, May 1J.-iCUTespondence of
the Associated ss.l-The political up
heaval in France, predicted as an af-
termath Of the war, appears to have
begun. After the modification of frac
tional lines i'm the socialist party. the
former extremist minority has be-
come the majority.
The new socialist majority, taking
far more extreme position than the ele-
ment led by Albert Thomas and Marcel
Sembat, former war ministers, does
not yet openly pronounce for bolshe-
visit principles. though in the major
ity there is a still further extremist
majority that demands immediate adj
herence to the doctrines of Lenine.
Several new political elements ap-
pear to be in the making and in some
of them the soldier will, for the first
time, make his influence felt
Soldier candidates are likely to be
numerous. There is already talk of
Colonel Raynal, the hero of the fort
of Vaux, as a candidate against the
socialist leader and bolshevist sympa-
thizer, Jean Louguet, grandson of Karl
Marx. NJ. Caillaux, whose candidacy
for reelection in the Sarthe has been
announced. may also have u soldier op-
ponent. General Mangin's name has
been mentioned in this connection but
probably without authority.

OKLAHOMA WHEAT
CROP 100000
BUSHELS At LEAST

Oklahoma City, Okla June a.
The wheat harvest is expected to be
in fun blast by at least Tuesday OF
this week and Oklahoma farmers will
be reaping the greatest crop in the
states history. oklahoma wheat crop
this year is confidently expected by
the state board of agriculture to be
at least 50000,00 bushels.
Harvesting has been in progress for
about a week in few counties of the
state and if favorable weather con
tinues, work will begin in the big
northwest section this week, according
to j "A. Whtehurst, president of the
state board of agriculture. The coun
ties that have begun harvesting are
Carter, Tillman, Cotton and Jackson,
in the southern part of the state, the
crop there being slightly more advanc.
ed in growth than in the main wheat
belt.
Reports from Woods, Garfield and
other northwest counties, to the board
of agriculture Indicate that the recent
wet weather and red rust discovered
in some sections has caused a decrease
in growing condition of the crop of not
more than three percent, the prospect
for full crop now standing at 80 per
cent as against 73 per cent on the
same date last year.
Labor department officials, working
in conjunction with the department
of agriculture, bankers, farmers and
other wheat interests" have the labor
situation well in hand and it is not
believed any difficulty will be encoun-
tered throughout the harvest period
in obtaining adequate help.
According to County Farm Agent c.
r. Donart, Oklahoma county will har-
vest approximately $4,000 bushels of
wheat
