A Seat of Failure

N seat Oh fuiluFc
The ranch has been in the posses
sion of Simpson and Sturgis less than
a year, but already 1t is beginning to
preach sermon on that old text, II
him that hath shall be given" and to
u visitor who studies the owners plans
for the place, 1t is easy enough to be-
leve that before long the 1877 acres
of land will be convincing proof of the
possibility of intensive farming in the
central part of the county.
The ranch was purchased by the
two men last November. Its former
owner, take 1t, did not break even
on the land and was glad enough to
sell at low figure. The buildings
We're decidedly ramshsckle when the
buyers secured the place, the small
orchard tract was badly run down,
and the whole ranch was u vivid illus
tration of failure.
THE picture Is rapidly changing,
however, and the application of money
in the form of new fencing and build
ings and some extra labor is rapidly
effacins the former appearance OF the
ranch.
Chickens Are Foundation
AS one goes down the road toward
the place, the orchard is the first view
one has Of the ranch. II is to ths
right and Is nov seeded to alfalfa and
IS fenced with closely woven chicken
netting. Behind the orchard is the
little house, the chicken house and
the dairy barn, all tucked under the
brow of a bluff which breaks at the
top and slopes gently upward In char
acteristic contours of umatllla coun-
TVS wheat lands t@
The chickens are the chief line OF
endeavor Of the owners of the place,
They now have about 2,1O0 of them on
the ranch. They are housed in one
unit of new, modernly equipped
poultry plant which is 20 by "a feet
One hundred white leghorn hens and
dozen Rhode Island reds are thf
only mature chickens on the place
now. The others are growing lcghorn
chickens which arrived at the ranch
as baby chicks in two installments
1000 March /, and another 1.00(
came 20 days later.

substance OF Jack Leary's speech at
tho Henning last night during the
Kiwanis club banquet in celebration
OF Canadian day. Mr.. Leary
showed where tho people of tho 10

that is little known about under its

BETTER DEPOSIT MONEY IN THE
BANK

About sundown one day not long
ago a farmer who lives not far away
passed Hilltop going home. He had
been to town selling some of his crops
and was happy over the 1925 in cash
he was carrying back for deposit in
the family chest. Before he had gone
five miles farther, robbers (who
probably knew his habits) held him
up and took his last cent.
When will our folks learn that the
only safe place for money is in a
bank? Not only does man invite
robbery by carrying lot of cash with
him, but in other ways he injuries
himself and his community. He in
lures his community by keeping
money out of circulation. He injuries
himself by failing to establish bank
ing connections at time when he has
surplus funds and thereby putting
himself in position to borrow on fay
orable terms at times when he needs
money. If you show banker that
you like to do business with him wher
YOU have money, he is all the reader

ATTEND FATHER
SON BANQUETS HERE

About six-hundred men and boys,
attended one or the other of three
.isther-son banquets held last Thurs
day night at the Baptist, Presbyter-
|an and Christian Churches. This is
the third successive year that Durant
has thus recognized and observed Ma
|tOnal Patterson week.
At each of the churches excellent
|suppers were served by the women
folks and eaten by the men and the
boys. following which programs
suitable to the occasion were present
Id, most of them being extemporan-
|eOus speeches by both men and boys.
The idea behind Patterson week
Is to make the fathers who in late
years have gotten so busy with their
business that they neglect to chum
with their boys, to take more inter
lest in their boys likes and dislikes,
and also to make the boys come to
d keener realization of just how much
their dads mean to them. These get
together banquets are having the eff
feet of bringing the men and boys
close together and are sure to re-
suit in lasting good to the generation
and to the generations ahead.

SOUTHEASTERN TRACK
MEET DATES ANNOUNCED
New Features Added To Make More
Interesting

The date for the fourteenth an
nual Southeastern Oklahoma Inter-
high School Track and Field meet has
been set for April 10, 20 and 81, 1923
THIS year plans are being made to
make the meet bigger and better than
ever. 1t is possible that band con-
test will be added for this year as
there seems to be a demand for it.
Should this contest be added it would
be held on Friday afternoon instead
of in the evening. A voice contest
for girls will be added also, which
should prove very interesting. This
contest will be held in the after
noon. A change in plans this year is
contemplated due to the large num-
Der of entries. The preliminaries will
perhaps be held on Friday morning
instead of afternoon and contests in
glee club and orchestras held in the
afternoon.
Ardmore won the track meet ir
Class A last year and will bring il
back to defend it, while Madill wor
the Class B cup and will bring il
back to defend it. There were twice
as many entries last year because Of
dividing the meet into two classe!
than the previous year.
Changing the date week later il
the season will give the coaches timt
to get their men in better shape fol
the meet. The selections for thu
musical and educational contest:
have been sent out through the col
umns of The Southeastern.
