URGED TO HOLD WHEAT
AND KEEP PRICE AT TOP MARK

Again urging that wheat farmers
OF Oklahoma should store then
wheat until such time that cars for
shipment east are available, John A.
Whltehurst, president of the state
board of agriculture, in letter just
received by J. w. Owens, county
farm agent, says:
II went to Kansas City, in com.
pany with a comittee of the state
Bankers association and appeared be.
fore the Federal Reserve bank, ask,
ing both financial relief and moral
support for the storage, marketing
and handling of the 1920 crop.
Il was glad to find that Oklahoma
occupied possibly the best position of
an yadjoinlng state from a financial
standpoint and the directors Of the
Federal Reserve bank very frankly |
expressed their Willingness to assist
and cooperate with their member
banks, in assisting the farmers as
largely as possible in storing and
making sufficient advances on wheat,
when properly insured, to take care
Of current expenses. However, the
farmer cannot expect, with the pres
ent stringent money market, to Dor.
row and hold his wheat indefinitely: I

attempting to glut the market with
early threshing.
Il feel that the present situation
is a blessing in disguise for the
farmer; for if we were able to mar
ket our wheat as usual from the
thresher, in the limited period of 60
to 80 days, | have no doubt that we
would break the price of wheat from
G0c to $1.0O per bushel; but if mar
keted sanely and gradually, as 1t now
seems we will have TO do, cannot
see why we will not receive a good
price TO rthis years crop.
4Gf the railroads are correct in
their statement, that they win not
be able to move the 1919 crop, and
that they will not have any surplus
of coopered ears ready to relieve The .
situation for the first few weeks
then we must expect very gradual
method Of marketing the entire crop.
Urges Farmers to Hold.
In a written statement this morn
ng, Mr.. Owens urged Grady county
growers to hold their wheat. He
iaid
"The government guarantee on the
rice of wheat is off. The railroads
an not furnish cars to move the

price which will give the farmer a
profit. The elevators will soon fill
by the first rush, and unless you
have provided your own granary
what will you do with your wheat ?
The remedy for the farmer in
saving this wheat crop is in his
own hands. Either stack the grain
so it will keep or build some sort Of
a granary. Build good stack or
none at all. Poor stacking is worse
than leaving the wheat in the shock
Fix up every bin on the farm and
hold all the wheat is the slogan. You
will get $500 per bushel by fall or
as early as ears begin TO move back
TO the wheat belt but ii You sell
now, we'll there is no certain price
Just whatever the dealer Is willing
to pay is all there is to it.
IF you need some money to help
you hold wheat see your banker now
The bankers are willing TO assist our
farmers in getting all the what Is
worth but if you wait too long mo
ney matters may tighten up, and no
matter how much the banker wants (
TO help unless you come to him he .
knows nothing about your needs.
Don't throw away this wheat crop
IS the advise of all who know the
present situation thoroughly"

Sees HIS FIRST WELL
DAY IN twenty YEARS

WORK. The muscles in my legs hurt
terribly and my joints would get so
stiff it was agony to bend over. Even
at night I was in pain and sometim es
WASH able to get a wink of sleep.
Il was simply miserable all the
time and altho I had tried every lini-
ment and treatment knew of, I was
gradually growing worse.
Finally I ran across Tanlac, but I
had little or no faith in it. But the
first bottle changed my mind, for it
went straight after my rheumatism.
The stiffness left my joints and the
pains all disappeared from my legs
and knees.
IN all I took five bottles of Tan
lac, and today I feel like I have been
made all over again. I sleep sound
all night long and when morning
comes I am feeling fine and ready for
work.
Z am always glad to speak a word
of praise for Tanlac, for I think the
people ought TO know about it"

School Boy Run Down
By a Delivery Truck

Fred Chambers, eight year old
schoolboy who lives at S31 Washing
ton street was another victim Of an
automobile accident this morning at
$3.50 when Freddy, just recovered from
a three months seige of sickness,
stepped from the curb in front OF the
old Ogden property on Ogden avenue
into the pathway of delivery truck.
Freddy said there was a taxi coming
one way and the truck coming another
way and he though he was safe enough
until he was knocked down and run
over. One Of the wheels of the auto
truck is said to have run over the leg
Of the little fellow though as far as
can be learned no bones were broken.
The mother of the boy reports that
Freddy is resting fairly easy this af-
ternoon and she cannot determine yet
just how bad the injury is. His in
turies were attended promptly, the
truck taking him to a nearby physi-
clan.

Jury Struggling With the
Domestic Troubles of the

twenty jurors, and large number of
spectators waited with an air of ex-
pectancy for an hour and ten minutes
this morning for the States chief wit
ness against Lester Morgan on a.
charge of non-support. Some of the
jurors whiled away the time reading
newspapers. The attorneys congre-
ated in the corridors and snapped
yarns about court procedure and dis
cussed the latest phases of the polit-
ical situation. Spectators spent the
time specializing on the cause of the
delay and in various other ways.
At ten minutes past ten, came Mrs.
Lester Morgan, for whom they had
been waiting, her nose carefully pow
dered and carrying a rosy, smiling
baby, eleven months old, the two con-
Yoyed by Mrs. Lizzie Smallwood, Mrs.
Morgan's mother. After stating
themselves comfortably in the court
room and passing the buck to the b.
and o. railroad, the trial began.
Mrs. Morgan was the States first
witness. Her testimony was that her
husband had left her last August to
the tender mercies of a mother-in-law
while he went to Ohio and in a short
time she was invited to leave, going
to her mother to live, where she has
been ever since. They were married
in May last year, she said, and her
husband was sixteen years old last
October. The attempt of Attorney
Rollo ]. Conley for the defense to
draw out testimony as to what hap
pened before the marriage was OBJ
jected to by Prosecuting Attorney

sustained Judge Lowe.
Mrs .Smallwood told substantially
the same story as her daughter.
Morgan admitted that he had gone
to Ohio, but claimed that he could
not get work in the state of West Vir-
ginia on account of his age, but that
he could in Ohio, where he lived with
his father.
The jury found Morgan guilty of
failure to support his wife and child.

Join.

With an enrolment of over fifty

opened last evening at the High

wttn prospects of larger enrolment
by the next meeting night. Pupils
who desire to do so may enroll to-
morrow night in any of these courses
offered by the school, but after that
date no new pupils will be admitted.
Tho greater number to enroll were
women. However, there were(seyeral
men among the pupils; and the ages
OF the pupils ranged from twenty to
over fifty years of age.
The most popular course proved to
be the, course in millinery and that
class Is filled.
The promoters of the school were
rather disappointed over the fact that
SO few women enrolled in the Child
Welfare department and urge that
more shall see fit to take this import
ant course, which is in charge of DR..
Carter S. Fleming and Miss Gladys

Three Italian young men appeared
and asked for class in English, and
such class will be formed If enough
can be secured to take the course to
make 1t practicable.
Several men enrolled in the classes
In mathematics and blue print work,
while the sewing and cooking classes
had several to enroll.
Miss Rachel Colwell, of the Univer-
