FAITH OF THE FARMER

Out in Gods out-ofdoors in west
ern Oklahoma and in the Panhandle
OF Texas the farmers have theii
tractors busy turning the soil for
the 1922 wheat crop. The rains have
come, the soil is in fine condition
the tractors do not tire like teams
did in the olden times when farm
life was young and these tractors run
until the late hours of the night.
The country south of the Mason
4 Dixon line has been accustomed TO
buying bread and meat from the
farmers north of the line but 1t
seems that the worm is turning these
days and the farmers of this vast
area of the southwest are planning
to raise their own bread and meat
and many other things which they
have been hiring others TO ship in tc
them.
II the farmers of this section OF
the country this year could have
raised a reasonable cotton crop they
would have never known of any fl
nancial depression. They have plenty
of feed and plenty OF everything &c
eat on the farms and If they had
raised cotton to have paid up at the
bank and bought the things they must
buy. these people would not have
known or felt the depression that is
worrying the cities of the country.

A FIGHTING ORIENTAL

VIII 4 Chinaman fight?
The general impression prevails
that Chinaman win not fight in
this country with citizens of America.
The Chinese devote their time more
10 the operation Of restaurants than
any other line of business and when
the boys get ready 10 stack his fur
niture they do so without opposition.
For that reason the opinion exists
that the Chinaman will not fight.
That matter was discussed last
night when one whose name must have
been "Ah Sin" from the capers he
cut took pistol in hand and went after
darkey. In open defiance Of the
law the. man with the pigtail followed
the darkey from the back door shoot.

streets of the city and fired another
fusilade Of bullets. Stlll further he
went after his man and gave him
chase on Main street whore many
hundreds OF people We're gathered in
the early evening hours. The China.
man never quit until he knew he
had wounded has man.
a member Of the police force who
knows the Chinaman as well Us any
ether American in this country could
know him, says the Chinese are men
OF good game. That they will fight
like tigers and when they once start
they are very bitter and will fight to
/ urt. But he also says the China.
man Is man Of good self.control He
will not fight unless he thinks he is
going to win. II the odds are against
him he will stand for anything. In
ms he is unlike the American. The
American counts honor for every.
hing, he will fight at times when
- knows he will come out in defeat.
When too much humiliation is forced
lpon him he will resent, but il Is
different with a Chnaman. from the
observations Of this man of the law,
