IN COUNTY OFFICES

Saturday, July /, Is the last day
in which candidates for county Of
fees can Gle their nomination pa
pers, and to date no one has fled
for any Of the Offices Nearly all
the present county officers will be
candidates to succeed themselves, 1t
Is expected, ana il Is also anticipated
that a full ticket will be filed to
contest their places.
Nearly all the county officers are
democrats and it is supposed that
a full republican ticket viii be
nominated. In the last several
campaigns some of the offices have
been left vacant on each ticket, and
in both 1918 and 1920 there was
practically no contest for the
greater part I the county offices.

Rain Welcomed Over the State.

The rain of the past week was
welcomed everywhere and particu-
larly in the dry farm sections of the
state. Cool weather slowed up the
garden crops somewhat and the lack
Of sunshine retarded the ripening OF
strawberries, but fr the most part
all crops made good progress,
Prunes and apples are growing rap
idly, but there is more or less of
dropping of both fruits There are
however, fine prospects for an. abun-
liant crop.

action by the State of Oklahoma in re-
opening the case against Jean r. Day,
wealthy Oklahoma City man, who shot
and killed Lieutenant Colonel Paul w.
Beck, of the Army Air Service at the
Day home April a, is expected by Sec
retary OF War Weeks, who forwarded
to-day to the Oklahoma Attorney Cen
eral the findings Of the military court
exonerating Beck.
The military investigators found that
Beck died in the line of duty, and his
death was not due to his own willful
misconduct. In forwarding the pro-
ceedings to the Oklahoma Attorney
General, Secretary Weeks made no
comment, except to note he had given
his full approval to the fendings. The
War Secretary declined to make public
the report, declaring that it would
serve no good purpose. He indicated
that the military board found no ev,-
dence to substantiate the report that
Mrs. Day was being attacked by the
army officer when Day shot him.
A previous report made by the Mill
tary board was found by Secretary
Weeks to be incomplete and unsatis-
factory. This former report was never
made public, but was returned to the
board with directions by Secretary
Weeks that a more searching inquiry
be made, Secretary Weeks sald he mad
eprryved tfs second report of the
board because it appeared to be a COM
prehensive inquiry into all phases of
the case, and had cleared up conflicting
and contradictory evidence previously
