THE unPIRE,s SPRING SONG

THE uHPIRE's SPRING SONG.
I hear you bawIins me.
hear again the fervrr Of your plea
That rises upward with q sullen roar
Demanding countless barrels Of my gore;
Above the winds that howl their song Of
Or sweep with terror through the shaken
gate,
Above the tides that roll in from the sea
hear YOU bavhng me,
voice Of spring, when shall shout
Above the elamOr Of the mob-''You're Out"
l hear you bsvling me
Yea. though . foul tip hits me on the knee.
From far away / hear the rolling din
That gathers force as springtime gathers in I;
The unlesshed fury and the red-eyed
gleam
Of those who come to cheer their favored
team.
By barren plain or stark and Ieafless tree.
hear you bswling me,
voice Of spring, when shall stand and
Strike Three" upon that f.teful April day.

which they expected to scalp, but
the Mount Pleasant lads, with Lemon
in the lineup, led all the way and
won by the score of 27 to 10.
The Central quint got out in front
in the first quarter. In this period
they outscored their rivals by six
points. They lost a little speed in
the second quarter and the Tome
boys succeeded in ringing up as
many as the home boys. The count
read Is to at the end of the first
half, and thirteen of the markers
for Central were registered by
Lemon.
The locals were outscored by one
point in the last quarter. Birthright.
a conner in the floor game, was sub
stituted for Childress in this period
and scored the only two baskets. A
winning factor for Central was the
guarding of McFadden and Zalesak.

Hugh Hugs Hone.

At a meeting Of American legion
men at the capitol Colonel Hugh
Scott. medical director of the fed
eral government in oklahoma re-
ceived a very decided boom for gov
ernor In truth the legion men pres
ent adopted the idea of making Col
mel Scott their candidate for the
republican gubernatorial nomination
and the young enthusiasts were TAX
ing pains to see that their indorse-
ment OF the doctor was not over

The project does not appear 70
come from any particular source
although Il was first aired at the
annual meeting held in Enid, al
though not promiscuously. Perhaps
II may be well to remember that not
all Of tho legion politicians arc OF
one mind and some of them had
been preparing a boom for another
legion officer. The Scott followers
have never taken kindly to the men
ton of the other gentlemen, and II
evident that there was much haste
in letting II be known that Colonel
Scott's name is 10 go before the re-
publlcans next year as a gubnera-
torial candidate,
II was while pushing the Scott
candidacy that John Fields emitted
@ note OF bitterness, and It Is I'm
portant because It brings back old
stories and shows conclusively that
the editor OF the Oklahoma Farmer
has not forgotten the memorable
campaign OF 1914 when he so nearly
defeated Justice r, l.. Williams for
governor.
Asked when he favored for gov
ernor, Editor Fields suggested that
the nomination should go TO Judge
John Hickman OF saltwater, mas
much as he was the progressive
candidate In 1914 who saved the
day for the democrats, adding that
as Alva Mcdonald, who was chair
man Of progressive" party had beer
honOred for what he had done 90
the republican party, II was only
common justice that Hic%am should
also come forward for his reward,
MT. Fields has been very far
from loquacious about the subject

remark, made 10 quite a number OF

that he has neither forgotten MOI
forgiven the republicans who led
