A private report up 70 and includ.
ing June 10 contains the following
concerning Oklahoma conditions:
ABOUT l8 days late. Cultivation
and stands fair to good. Plant nor
NAL to undersize. Growing condition
decidedly better. Weather clear and
temperatures seasonable. Complaints

As follows:
Since the May report more season

outlook is more encouraging, although
on account Of the late season the
plant is not strong enough to receive
a severe setback.
Continued favorable climatic con-

is larger than the last months figures

Normal were raised 30 per cent at
the laAt session Of the legislature. Il
will be readily recalled that he was
the leader Of the forces that secured
the passage Of a bill making an ap-
preparation to build an additional
building to the Southeastern State
Normal School. Two years prior to
that time through his efforts, ablv
assisted by other members Of the leg
islature. there was secured an appro-
priation to build a home for the presi-
dent Of the Southeastern State Nor
NAL, and for the erection of a power
plant at the institution. During the
last special session Of the legislature
he was able to secure re-appropriation
Of the funds to build the concrete road
from Durant to the Atoka county line.
If the voters of this senatorial dist
rict return Senator Mcintosh. to the
State Senate he will be the Oldest
member Of either branch Of the lepis-
lature in point of service. BY reason
if his long experience as State Sena-
tor and his intimate and thorough
knowledge of State affairs he will be
able to properly look after and care
for the interest of the people of his
district. 1t must also be remembered
that the real work of any legislature
is done through committees, and i'm
portant committee assignments are
generally given to those having wide
experience in legislation. It can,
therefore, confidently be expected that
if Senator Mcintosh is returned to the
legislature he will secure the very
best committee assignments. At the
present time Senator Mcintosh is
Democratic floor leader and caucus
chairman. This position is recog-
nized by everyone as one of the chief
positions to be occupied by any man
in either branch of the legislature.
Senator Mcintosh has at all times
used his best efforts and the influence
of his leadership in promoting the in.
terest Of all people of the district he
represents and all the people of the
State at large.
We take pleasure in commencing
to the voters of this district Senator
j. T. Mcintosh for their earnest and
careful consideration, and if he is
returned to the State Senate we are
certain that he will in the future as
he has in the past, make an able,
efficient and valuable officer to the
people Of his district and to the State.

EASILY MADE GIFTS:

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The suggestions which were made last week by some of the sisters for holiday gifts were Interesting and I would like to add few before 1t is too late.
 Here is a cuff and collar set that is very simple to make and is Inexpensive. The collar consists of straight piece of material, either handkerchief linen. voiie. or organdie. It is about five inches wide and suitable length. It is hemmed by hand and a running stitch of black f oss embroidered along the hem. This gives the appearance of hem-stitching. For trimming rambler roses are added in the corners. These are made by merely running a thread in and out around a circle. These roses can be made of three shades. such as lavender. Link, and yellow The cuffs are made il the same wt-y.
 A fudge apron is always a welcome gift to a young girl It is made cut tut for the neck opening. The apron teaches down to about the knees. A narrow belt is attached and a pocket The bottom, of the apron and the neck and belt are finished off with a large button-hole stitch and an appropriat, pattern is embroidered tn the front oi the apron.
 For the youngsters who are going tc school. a bag for books would make 2 nice Christmas renemb, ance Take ar ordinary twine school bag and line i with sateen or cretonnG Figure of twt Dutch children or animals such as duck make an effective decoration. Thes' can be cut out of flannel The top of the bag may be trimmed with coloret woolen beads.

WE CAN REMAKE ouRsE1vEs

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It is such an encouraging thing that we are not fix ed stars:
 If we are disgusted with ourselves we can make over and change
 If we are diesatisfied with the work we are in we can change. Or if this chances to be impossible with us we eau change our attitude toward the work we are in. We can change our methods, our ideals. our principles, The power c with us.
 The fact that some of us have never grasped this truth makes 1t no less. a truth-ours for the realizing. Why, to hear some of us whine and complain you would think that we were as permanently fixed as the worlds great mountainsT and more so-for an avalanche might change the contour of these. It's p5ver- ty of our own thought and our own out look that keeps our lives so unutterably stale and monotonous It isn't life it. self
 For life is wonderful, it's limitations broad and elastic. It may be pitiable and discouraging or glorious and uplift- ing.
 We cant~always make it what we would?"l Of course not. There are oth- CT factors than our own happiness to be thought of and dealt with. But we can remake ourselves. That's the promise and I the privilege of every one of us-the ont thing that life never deprives us of | The process is difficult one-too l difficult to be feasible?" That depends If we want to slip along easily, if non- resistance is our idea of happiness we snail easily think it too hard It's up tc us But that does not alter the truth"

HOME.

Deg Sisters: Probably nineteen -twen- tietns of the happiness we shall. eyer have in this world we shall get at home. The independence that comes to a man when his work is over and he feels that he has run out of the storm into the quiet harbor of home. where he can rest in peace with his family. is something real It does not make much difference whether we own our home. or have one little room we can make that little room true home. We can people it with such moods. we can turn to it with such sweet fancies, that it will be fairly luminous with their, presence and will be the very perfection of home. Against this home none of us should ever transgress- We should always treat each other with courtesy. It is often not so difficult to love a person as it is to be courteous to him.
 Courtesy is of far greater value and 2 more royal grace than some people now. adays seem to think. If we will but be courteous to eachtotner we will soon learr Ito love each other more wisely, profound ly, not to say lastingly, than we ever did before.
