Sunday, both at the morning and

organization of Christian travelling

three members and now have a mem

of its leading members doing the
work of an evangelist in addition to
the work of raising money. for bibles
to be placed in hotel bed rooms. A
man to be a Gideon must be recon-
mended as Christian man by his
local pastor and by at least three
business men, he must belong to a
church that accepts Jesus Christ as
the Savior of man, he must agree to
wear the emblem consisting OF a
pitcher in white on blue background
with a bit of red at the top of the
pitcher representing the torch and he
must be travelling man.
Bbble in Hotels Of Ottawa.
The Gideon bibles were placed in
the Ottawa hotels several years ago,
but more are needed for replacement
and to be put in the hotels of smaller
towns where Gideon rallys cannot be
held. A travelling man stopped one
of the Gideons at Mendoza one night
in a hotel lobby long enough to tell
him that he had been raised in in
fidelity and as result had gone into
forbidden paths. drinking, carousing.

but separated this man from his wife
and children when he was saved and
brought back to leading useful life
because of reading a single verse in
Gideon bible in an Ottawa hotel.
The men who will conduct the SER
vices in the various churches will tell
many true stories of the miracles
wrought with people OF all classes
who read the bible in the hotel bed
rooms. We are sure that the general
public will be much interested in
hearing these true stories and the
Transformation that comes into lives
through reading the word of God.
The Gideons conduct services quite
differently than the ordinary; the
boys all act perfectly natural when
they are in the pulpit and their plain
messages backed up by their own
testimony, makes their talks both in
teresting and profitable.

CREDIT AND LOWER

AMERICAN FARMER

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 30-Adapta-
ton of the banking machinery OF the
country to the credit requirements OF
the farmer and reduction of freight
rates on farm products was advocated
as the most pressing needs OF the
agricultural industry in an address
here today by Representative Sidney
Anderson. chairman of the joint con-
gressional committee of agricultural
inquiry before the fifth annual meet
ing of the national milk producers
federation. Pointing to the farmers
need for credit of maturity CORE
spending to his turnover and his abili-
ty to pay representative Anderson
said, he favored permitting all exist
ing financial institutions dealing
directly with the public, including
national and state banks to make
loans to farmers for periods OF three
months to six years. They should be
able, he added. to rediscount the
paper with the federal banks or act
as the direct agents OF the banks in
making the loans, the farm notes
then to be used as basis for issu-
ance of short time debentures by the
land banks. In turn the federal reser-
We bank. he said should be used to
buy and sell these debentures and
also to rediscount for the land banks
within six months maturity other
farm paper.
The farmer not only needs an I'M
mediate downward revision of trans
portation rates on his products. Rep.
Anderson said. but also material re-
duction in other elements of the
speed between the producers and
the consumers prices, which he
stated, constituted half of the latter
price. The, problem of distribution |
costs, he added. could not be solved |
by the farm alone but REQUIRED the |

perilous trip. | love to write of these
men and their noble wives and have

Why Did We Come to the Territory?
''As early as the year 1914 | had q
brother, a sister and an uncle who with
a party Of forty from North Carolina
and Alabama came west and settled
in Cherokee county, Texas. They al
ways expressed themselves as being
highly pleased with the people and
country. In the year 1851 my brother
made his first visit back home apd on
his return to the west brought my
youngest brother with him. + was then
of circumstance one way or another
kept me and other members of my
family in North Carolina.
Years later our only son came to
the Indian Territory and after spending
some time farming, decided to make
his first visit TO us at Christmas time,
1897. We had been often debating the
subject Of coming to the Territory and
his visit decided us at once. He sold
our home at a great sacrifice, and re-
turned to the Territory, leaving us to
follow. We had small amount of
furniture packed and shipped and sold
everything else at auction and by the
first of March, 1898 we were ready
and anxious to start to the new coun-
try.
1--WE made pleasant and unevent-
full trip. making close connections un-
til we missed our train at Fort Worth,
where we had to spend the entire day.
We met Mrs. Stinson, now Mrs. w. A.
Pride at the hotel and when she learn
ed we We're coming to Ardmore she
took delight in telling us all the nice
things she could about Ardmore. We
also met Colonel Suggs either at Fort

breakfast. We became encouraged.
1--WE began looking around and met
surprises from every view point as we
had come to stay and were looking for
pleasant scenes and opportunities. Our
motto was to meet all checrfully and
kindly for as you meet a stranger you
will be met with the same response. |

I have never really wished to go back
