America will take its part in solv-
ing the problems OF the world, and
will not be restrained by provincial
limits, 1t will do so, not for gain,
but for the satisfaction OF serving
humanity.
Those who think and PLAZA and
plot otherwise will discover their
mistake when the American soldier
returns and exercises his influence
upon the national life. He vii! not
forget the symbolic glory OF the
rising sun which has seen across
desolated and wasted lands; he
knows, not only that the world is
to be made safe for democracy, but
but that democracy must be made
safe for the world and he will not
only do his share in the work OF
making it so, but he will see TO it
that the little Americans do not
interfere with the true destiny OF
this country.

received at this department, show
wheat to be in excellent shape and
aIiording plenty OF pasture in areas
where feed for cattle is most need
ed. Revised figures on the acreage
planted TO wheat show an increase
10 per cent over the acreage sown
last year. This is an increase OF ,
per cent over our preliminary esti-
mate OF two months ago. An increase
OF 10 per cent assures Oklahoma of
S,547 900 acres OF wheat for 1919.
Much Corn on Hand.
The farmer still has on hand IRON
his crops OF 1913, 81 per cent OF corn,
8 per cent OF wheat, 20 per cent Of
oats and 40 per cent OF kaiir and
milo. During the past month he has
consumed and marketed Is per cent

ago, he had on hand from the 1917
crop the following: corn 3S per cent,
wheat II per cent, oats p per cent
and kafir and milo 52 per cent.
Livestock Increasing.
There is a decrease in the number
OF liyestocy on farms at the present
time, as compared with the same
date one year ago, as follows: horses
4 per cent, mules 8 per cent. milch
cows 4 per cent, other cattle 9 per
cent, and hogs IA per cent. The mum
Der OF sheep on farmss how an in
crease OF per cent compared with
the number on same date last year.
This decrease in livestock of all
kinds, except sheep, is due to the
number OF animals that were sold
on account OF shortage and high
prices OF feed. Many shipments were
made out OF the state and others to
points in the state where feed stuffs
were more plentiful. The largest de-
crease shows up in the southwest
and western parts OF the state.

Rambling Around
Political R anges

The fight among republicans over
the speakership Of the house of the
SlXty-siXth congress has become so
fierce, Representative Fess, chairman
OF the congressional committee, has
issued statement calling upon re-
publican members OF the house not
to allow the contest to interfere with
the best conduct of the republican
party in the 1920 presidential cam
paign." This statement is taken to
indicate that ii Representative Mann
as speaker can keep the party united,
Representative Gillett should with
draw his candidacy, but that if Rep
resentatiyc Gillett can best keep the
party united, Representative Mann
should withdraw. In other woeds,
either candidate should sacrifice per-
sonal ambition for party success.

taking advantage OF its opportunity
to indulge in a regular old-fashioned

of candidates in the field and the
lists are still open with the promise
of more. Aside from the quantity OF
available material it is calling forth
the campaign will be well worth
watching, because the railroad own

it may be the first test OF public

Ratification OF the federal prohibi-
ton amendment by the necessary
thirty-siX states before February |,
1919, is predicted as certain. Already
fifteen states have ratified the
amendment and ratification is ex-
pected by twenty-five other states
now dry" by state statutes. States
now wet but where the incoming
legislatures are expected to ratify
the amendment, are California, IL
linoit Minnesota, Missouri, Yer
mont and Wisconsin, States in
which legislative action may be more
or less doubtful are Connecticut,
New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode
Island. New Jersey is regarded by
the "drys' as the only hopeless
state.
With the republican majority in
the next senate so very slight, only
two republican senators by voting
with the democrats, could nullify
the election OF Senator-elect New
berry OF Michigan. That the Henry
Ford forces will make an effort to
get the two necessary republicans
is now regarded not merely as likely
but as a certainty. Those republican
senators who are suspected of en-
tertaining an opinion that there was
fraud in the election OF Newberry
and that he is not entitled to a seat
in the senate are Kenyon OF Iowa,

Senator Wesley L. Jones, of Wash
inston, declared today that the de-
piorabIe mail service was one of the
chief reasons for business stagnat-
ton in Alaska. in a speech before the
senate. He stated it was also one Of
the reasons for the exodus and de-
cline of the population. He urged
atrial mail service as a remedial mea-
sure with hydro-airptanes for the
southeastern districts. He further
argued that an immediate appropria-
ton should be made at this time.
Senator Charles S. Thomas, of Co.

COOPERATIVE
HOUSING URGED

Community building and manage
ment of homes over large areas was
urged by Lawson Purdy at recent
conference Of the National Housing
Association as solution of the hous-
ing problem.
The area, he said, should be large
enough for community that would
supply it's own stores, schools,
churches, amusements, and amenities
OF all kinds. 1t must be convenient to
places Of employment. Most Of the
houses should be for single families,
but there might be some muIti-family
houses with ample ground about them
and some boarding houses, separate
for men and women. There should be
enough stores, but killing competition
should be secured for the business
property.
The land and buildings should be
owned by a corporation without capt.
al stock, directed by trustees of abiI-
ity and public spirit. After a commu-
nifty spirit was formed some Of the
trustees and perhaps all could be
chosen by the tenants. The capital
could Be supplied at profit by an in
dustriai corporation nearly which de-
sired a stable supply Of workers, by
the Government, by States, or by
cities.
Such a community, Mr.. Purdy said,
could buy itself free in rs to so years
and be we'll off in the meantime. If I
per cent interest were paid on capital
and per cent on a sinking fund the
principal would be paid off in about
81 years. When the property is paid

made available for community wei.

RECOMMENDS
NEW SYSTEM
Thinks law authorizing the

WASHINGTON. o. c. Feb. 81
Secretary Lane, of the Department
Of the Interior has recommended the
adoption Of a system Of outright sales
and leases Of all coal lands. He says
the leasing system under the law Of

that law authorizing the sales and
leases should be passed at this ses-
sion.
