Grady county now has 9,472 farms
rs compared with 9,OC6 in 1870 ac.
cording to figures just compiled by
ne United States Department of Ag-
icuiture.
Hundreds OF farmers left their
ard in Western Oklahoma between
1919 and 1920, selling their land in
he most cases to neighbors who
"aund their small claims insufficient
eor their needs.
That many of these flowed to east
em Oklahoma or to some other por
ton of the state, is indicated by
the fact that despite the heavy ex-
odus from the western part of the
state the number OF farms in the
state did not decrease in ten years.

STATES HARRELD
USED FAL LSEH00D

Oklahoma City, Oct 19.-Comment-
ing upon a statement by j. W. Har-
reid, republican candidate for the
United States Senate in his speech
at Okmulgee as reported in the
Tulsa World to the effect that scott
Ferris was a Missouri republican
eighteen years ago and was a G. O.
?. candidate" Cam Campbell, chair
man Of the state democratic campaign
committee today characterized Mr.
Harred's statement as a malicious
falsehood.
Scott Ferris has always been a
democrat" said Mr.. Campbell "He
has never been affiliated with the
republican party in any way whatso-
ever. And according to his own
statement he never even voted the
republican ticket The assertion that
he was at one time a republican
candidate in Missouri would be
joke if it We're not so maliciously
false.
"Mr Harreld must indeed be des-
perate to resort to such a misrepre-
sentation. lie is evidently anxious
to bring up any issue, no matter how
false in order to divert the minds of
the voters from his championship Of
The master seditionist, Victor Berger,
whom he. voted to seat in congress
after erger had been convicted and
sentenced to prison for treason to his
country
1T is interesting to see the Tulsa
World SO vigorously supporting Mr.
Harred now and excusing his vote
ITO seat Berger In its edition of
January u, 1920, The World editor
tally flayed Harreld. declaring his
vote was not a vote for that issue.
We hesitate not at all to condemn
it by an Oklahoma republican. We
could excuse it in part in an Okla
homa socialist, because that sort. of
thing would be expected from such
source.
"Of course the World could not
know at that time that Mr.. Harreld
would be candidate for the United
States senate in 1920"

BIG WILD ANIMAL
SERIAL A THRILLER
Kill $4,000 Elephant to Make
Final Scenes for "The Lost
City"

II it is gigantic thrills and sensa-
tons that the public has been waiting
for, that hunger will be satisfied when
"The Lost City,, new serial sensa-
ton in fifteen smashing episodes
starts it's run at the Casino Theater,
today.
Il is claimed that the serial is
crammed full of the biggest kind of
thrills and excitement from start to
finish. The story is laid in the Afri-
can jungles and desert lands, and not
only employs the strange uncivilized
people of this dark continent, but
nearly all Of the ferocious animals
which inhabit that adventuresome
quarter Of the world. Lions, tigers,
leopardsl elephants, alligators, zebras,
CRATES, gorillas, etc. all enter the
story, affording thrills and excitement
the like of which has never been at
tempted for a screen production.
A few years ago, II would have been
impossible to obtain players to take
the chances they are compelled to
take the chances theyhscbetaoinshr
take in serial sensation, and credit
in huge quantity must be given not
only to Miss Juanita Hansen and
George Chesebro, who play the lead.
ing roles Of the story, but the entire
company for the manner in which
they have put the realism into the
production,
Miss Hansen, already big favorite
with screen fans, plays the leading
role of Zoolah, The Lost Princess,
Drawing dangers that would cause the
ordinary stars to quail.
The sensations that are created
with the wild denizens of the jungle,
who are let loose in countless scenes,
will cause creeping feeling of sus-
pense to all those who see it.
The mad elephant, introduced into
one Of the many thrilling episodes of
1.-THE Lost City" shows new danger
of the jungle to the average spectator,
who has been prone to believe that
these heavy beasts of burden are very
docile and tame. To witness the
crazen beast tearing his way through
the jungle, overturning the native
huts, ripping up trees by the roots,
and tramping down barricades, gives
one new insight into the destruc-
tive power of these enormous ami
mails. To see this wild beast on its
rampageOus tour of destruction, will
cause the spectators to wonder how
it was possible to train this animal to
perform these feats with the realism
with which they are actually done.
But the secret of it all is that the an
imal is not trained, but is really mad,
and will be shot in the latter episodes.
The shooting of this animal, which
is valued at about $4,000, will be
doubted by many, but it is only one of
the many situations which the skep-
teal may doubt, which makes this Sc
rial entirely different from any other
ever produced. This is only one Of
the many thrilling situations that will
characterize this production as mon
umental thriller that will startle and
thrill the world.
