THE CHALLENGE
TishOmingo, Okla, July II, 1922

Tishomingo, Okla, July II, 1920
Mr.. Rube Geers, City,
Dear Sir.-In your paper for the
past several issues you have been
"rarin" for a debate. In the name
Of Gore, your patron saint, and
backed by the vociferous shouts Of
all the republicans and socielists, you
nave hurled challenges and defies,
one following the other, in rapid sue
cession, that Hon. Scott Ferris, run
ming on a record unsurpassed for
consistency in support of legislation
acl 'eved by a democratic administra-
tion for the benefit of the American
people and the people Of Oklahoma,
abandon his campaign Of facts, which
he is now making before the people
of this state, and meet your mud
singing patron in debate, under con.
ditions laid down by yourself
To every defy to every challenge
TO which you have given utterance, 10
every mean thing you have had to
say about our democratic president; TO
every misstatement Of fact you have
made, both against Scott Ferris and in
behalf Of Gore, deafening chorus of
amen" That's what | say too
Sick EN-, Rube," has gone up from
the camps of the republicans and the
socialists; every Stacker has yelled
with delight; every I. w. w. cur has
yelped his approval, and all the boil
shevists have bayed with the echo.
On the contrary, you have failed to
utter one word Of approval for dem,
Ocretic achievement so has Gore; you
have failed to speak one good utter
ance in behalf of a democratic pres
ident, so has Gore; you seem to hold
in contempt every policy and pr1n-
ciple now advocated by the leaders
Of democracy, and to voice a ridicule
for those splendid performances OF
the party for the past eignr years
performances on the record of which
the party must make a finish fight
in the coming election. In this you are
only "Apeing" the man for whom you
speak. In the light Of the above,
would ask you why Gore is running |
In the democratic primaries? You |
and Gore both know why. In Miss |
ssippi he was anybody's dog who
would hunt with him; in Texas he

Oklahoma, after giving his solemn
promise in the presence of witnesses, |
ITO forsake all others and cleave unto |
Miss Democracy for the rest Of his |
life,' she honored him with the most |
precious gift in her possession-the
United States senatorship. Now, almost
since the very moment or tnat promise
what time he has not spent flirting
with Madam G. o. P.,' lie has put in

tain sufficient help for harvesting the
1920 wheat crop which promises to
be the third largest crop in history.
THE demand for loans continues
strong, with rates advancing. There
appears to be. however, a gradual
elimination Of loans for non-essentials
and an effort toward liquidation of
so-called frozen loans.
ut is hoped that the banks of this
district will confine, So far as possible,
their credit advances to the needs
Of the agricultural and livestock in
terests.
The mercantile trade through the
month Of May and the first half Of
June exhibited a tendency. which is
not unusual, TO slow down for the
summer months, although other fact
ors have been and still are contribut-
ing TO the unsettlement Of trade con-
ditions.
Wholesalers, particularly Of dry
goods, mems and women's wear and
millinery. report a tendency on the
part Of retailers to buy carefully, with
the result that their sales reported
for May were 10 per cent and in
some cases more than that below the
sales in April. though in wholesale
drygoods the May sales were up TO so
per cent larger than in the same
month last year.
Winter wheat, the reports show,
made remarkable improvement in May.
Official estimates place the yield for
the district at 215,O00,00O bushels, 22,-
100000 more than the estimate of the
bureau Of crop estimates on the May
basis.
Federal and state employment bu-
reasus and agents are reported as
meeting fair success in enIisting harry
est help.
The end of May brought encourag.
ing reports as to the corn crop. Plant.
ing was reported as practically com.
plete in the south two<hirds Of the
district.
Reports on oats, rye and barley
were favorable, but cotton showed the
lowest mark in so years. The potato
acreage is approximately 10 per cent
below that of last year, with the crop
condition varying from so per cent
10 30 per cent.
Pastures are reported excellent. A
feature of the livestock
reports reaching the bank was in
creased attention to pure bred stock.
Live stock receipts in the mark
cts showed an increase over those Of
April and about on a parity with
those Of a year ago. Decreased sup.
plies Of fat cattle in early June was
responsible for a sharp price.

THE noMEaAN FESTIVAL.

Dear Social Corner Sisters. Have any
 ee you ever attended the Mehesan festi.
 valt 1hAYe attended 1t every year for
 many years. 1 Alw2ys had such . good
 time that look forward to it with
 pleasure.
 The people of Mohegan Are descend-
 ants of the Moheean Indians. Every fall
 the festival is given by the ladies' sew
 ing society. It Is held in wigwaI1i
 built of white birch boughs. The wig
 van is built in front of the church. :.
 The first festival or wfgwan was held
 sixty years ago. A small band of la. dies wanted to raise money for the
 church. They thought Of this novel idea. It proved to be . success and became an annual event. s;.sa -4
 The wigwafn was cool and fragrant within, after walking in the hot sun. An Indian dressed in native costume with a head dress of feathers, stood at the wigwstn gate. He took our entrance fee. Prettiiy decorated tables were set about the wtgwsln. On these were a large as- Eortnent of wares for sale. Near the, entrance was the candy ta- ble. Candy, popcorn and peanuts were sold here On the center table were ap- rohs, bedqunts fancy articles, bead work and many other articles. Many of these were made by the ladies during the year. There WAS a large display of In. dian baskets. These were made by the Penebscet Indlans of Old Town, Maine There was an interesting exhibit of h. dian relics. These included old baskets wooden spoons. trays, bowls. bows and arrows and two wooden n,eftars with | the stone pestlee in which the corn was ground Into yokeag. Bread, rolls, cake cookies doughnats, pies. ice cream and 1 soft drinks were sold at the food table A tent| was pitched ih one corner ol 1 the wigwasn. A maiden attired in Indian costume told fortunes. A grab bag fur. | nished amusement.
 Dinner was served at noon. The ta. bles were set in the back patt of the 1 wigwaIn. The menu consisted of succo. 1 tssh, clam ctio~der, oysters, cold meats ] rolls white and brown bread, apple and mince pie, cake, coffee, ice cream and 1 yokeAg.
