TONY N ADE The CHOP
AND THE MARSHAL MADE
TONY \ j n I REASON
WHY THE CHOP WAS MADE

He hailed from down-trodden Bel.
GUM and he answered to the name
Of Tony. He would probably have
answered to his other name had it
not have been unpronounceable. But
no one this side of the land which. by
the way, he left long years before
the kaiser's hordes overrun its fields
and towns and cities and supersti
tons, and which lies in ~juxtaposition
to the battle fields OF France, has
been found who has been willing
TO qualify to attempt the tongue
a%crobatlcs necessar.. to bring forth n
combination Of sounds which would
sound anything like the name which
he Inherited from his paternal an.
c~estors, with the assistance Of his
maternal parent.
However, all that is beside the issue.
for the reason that through answer.
ing u the name of Tony he managed
to find his way, accompanied by a
deputy United States marshal TO the
office Of a United States commissioner
where he was arraigned upon a
charge of attempting to manufacture
conversation watel contrary to the
provisions in the several clauses or
the Volstead act.
Tony's place of abode is on a quiet
little farm in the neighborhood of
Rush Springs. the capital Of the
watermelon section Of Grady coun
ty. On this farm Tony raises corn,
hogs, chickens, children and, the
neighborJ allege, the product which
fuses man to raise the devil.
At any rate when the deputy mar
shall invaded tie precincts Of this
home he found besides the dogs and
children and chickens and corn and
hogs and the wife, 4 perfectly good
barrel well filled with mash. while in
the kitchen he found a lard can fit
ted out with a worm from which JOY
Juice was supposed to flow.
Tony said the mash was for the
hogs and the lard can was intended
for the wife to use as a coffee boiler
and clothes hamper and bread box.
Tony's inability to properly ex-
press himself in the language of this
land of his adoption. may have been
the reason why the commissioner
before whom he was arraigned took
his hog.chops story with a grain OF
salt and held Tony to the action OF
the federal grand jury.
But Tony is still loyal and still
believes that the maxim of swat the
Kaiser is the bright and golden one.

J. W. johnson, Of Milo, one of the
best known farmers and stock-raisers
in southern Oklahoma, was in Ard

insects, and the cultivation has been
carefully attended to.
Corn in that section was never
better and has been we'll cultivated
30 that, with the ~seasonable rains
which have prevailed throughout the
summer, a banner crop seems assured.
Mr.. johnson also says that the
rains have assured splendid fall past
Jrc and the cattle and other livestock
cre in the best possible shape.
In the Milo section OF Carter coun-
t. very little wheat is raised, the
farmers there devoting their atten.
lion to raising cotton. corn and oats,
and paying a considerable attention
TO livestock.

SCOTT FERRIS OPPONENT
VISITS RELATIVES AND
FRIENDS IN ARDMORE

Congressman j. w. Harreld of
Oklahoma City, Republican nominee
for the United States senate is in
Ardmore visiting his mother and
father, and other relatives. =
Representative Harreld formerly liv.
ed here n has many warm person
oil friends.
He says he is going to make an
active campaign for the United States
senate and feels sure Of winning.
Judge Harreld states that the news.
papers of the state misstated his po-
sition on ~ Berger case; that his
vote was only in the interest Of fair
play; that he believed the SAME
treatment should be accorded Berger
that is now being accorded Senator
Newberry, a Republican, that is his
case should not have Seen acted upon
by congress until the court of ap-
peals had passed upon the case.
That. he said, would have been in
accordance with the rule followed
in such cases for more than half a
century.
He says that If any voter does not
want n square deal given to all in.
dividuals and classes. whether poll
teal, religious or secular, they had
better vote for someone else.
He complains that the newspapers
misstated his position at the time;
that he issued a statement and the
newspapers, many of them, including
the Ardmore papers, did not publish
1t.
He says he is sorry if any of his
Ardmore friends have had to apologize
for his vote, az they need not have
done so had they known the facts.
