these machines can draw an immense quantity of water from a stream in course of 24 hours and this distributed at critical 'times often means the difference between a bumper crop and a failure It costs

unknown writer has the following to say concerning respect due from a child to his father: call him the old man He may wear a last yeat hat his finger nails may need manicuring his vest may hang a little loose and lus pants may bag at the knees his face may show signs of' a second growth but call him the "Old Man" your father or years and years he has been rustling around to get things togeth er Never once has he failed to do the right thing by you He thinks you the greatest boy on earth even though you plaster your hair back wear smart clothes and fail to bring home a cent He is the man who won the love and life partnership of the greatest woman on your mother Happy will you be indeed if memory fails to recall no word look or act of yours toward him bringinguntold sorrow to your heart after his hands are folded in his last long sleep UNCLE SAM REAL ESTATE BUYER 'As a Buyer'of real Usttfte Uncle'Sam is the greatest in the history of the world i In '1 803 the vast expanse of rench territory known as Louisiana was purchased for $1 5000000 Many with less vision than President Jefferson denounced this as a waste of the people money but Jefferson lived to see himself completely vindicated In 1819 lorida was purchased from Spain for something like $5000000 Then came the Mexican war at the close of which Mexico was paid $15000000 for the stretch of country extending from Texas to the Pacific coast A few years later an additional tract in southerh'Arizona was bought for $10000000 The next big deal was for 'Alaska in 1867 The United States was under obligation to Russia for her attitude in the Civil war when Russian influence helped to prevent Great Britain and rance from recognizing the Confederacy Russia was paid $7200000 and threw for" good" measurer The territory was worthless toRussia but has yielded immense sums to Uncle Sam during the 60 years of American ownership and its wonderful resources have scarcely been scratched ollowing the war with Spain the Philipppines were taken over in exchange for $20000000 inally when the World war was raging it was thought advisable to buy the Virgin isles of the West Indies from Denmark as a means of maintaining better control of the entrance to the Caribbean sea Once before a treaty had been signed under which this country was to get the islands for $5000000 but it was turned down by the senate When the necessity ofgetting possession of the tiny bits of territory was manifest the Danes wcrit to $25000000 and Uncle Sim had it to pay This was the jtop price paid in any of his real estate deals Texas and Hawaii came in of their own accord and only Porto Rico and Guafti may be said to have been acquired by conquest The usual practice among nations has been to conquer a weaker country and rob it of part of its territory The United States is an example of a nation that expanded through peaceful methods Just now the wheat and cotton crops are the center of interest in Oklahoma Indications are that nearly 65000000 bushels of wheat will be harvested more than twice the crop of 1925 and the second largest in the history of the state The state department of agriculture estimates the average yield at 1 5 bushels per acre as com pared with eight bushels last year The report indicates that cotton is getting off on a bad start the condition May 25 being 68 per cent as compared with 79 per cent a year ago It also states that indi cations point to some reduction of acreage Cotton has plenty of time to make a bumper crop and if weather conditions are favorable the chief concern will be the price So far as The News has seen and heard only a few state candi dates are indulging to any extent in throwing mud and villifying their opponents Those who do should be relegated to'obhvion on a limited train With a general election to follow the primary there is no reason why Democrats should provide all the ammumton for the Republican campaign Too often candidates forget that another is coming Now that the crops of 1926 are off under full headway keep your eyes on the indicator The race will not be won unhl the last of the bunch has rounded the home stretch and crossed the line The farmers have staked their all on the result and the consumers also have much at stake Good Yield and air Price are the bettpg it is just as well for some candidates that they do not draw large crowds when they advertise that they will speak in a place Jack Walton drew record breaking crowds in his senatorial race two years ago but think what happened to him when these hearers went to the polls i A Republican congressman from Oklahoma recently won the prize in a pie eating contest held in Washington Nothing surprismg about that tho Republicans have spent so much time at the pie counter during the past three quarters of a century that eating pie comes natural to them The Australian commonwealth is copying after the United States in the matter of establishing its capital in a new territory a district under federal control and building the city according to a fixed plan Too much jealousy exists among the older cities for them to be content with the capital in the possession of any other place hence the decision to build the new city far from any of the older ones and start from the ground up The' new place is known as Canberra and work is being pushed with the idea of moving the government there sometime next year The first inhabitants will have to undergo many discomforts and it will require many years to make the new capital the model city it is planned to be The land will belong to the government and will be leased at fixed rentals for a period of 99 years This is something new in the way of city building and it remains to be seen how it works out

present lw iJ VICTORY I The remarkable victory of Smith Brookharf over Senator Curri I mins and other opponents in the Iowa primary complicates the poli tical situation to an extent that no man can venture an opinion that he can substantiate Those who like to discuss the whys and where fores of an event can view this episode from a dozen different angles none of which fully expins it It must be admitted that it is a staggering blow to the Coolidge administration being the fourth successive defeat in the primaries of old line senators who championed the cause of the president Cum mins was a regular whee1 horse of the senate organization partly through his ability and partly through the seniority his service pfz 18 years gave him Cummins had enjoyed a long period of popularity in Iowa serving first as governor and then as sepator Before so called liber alism had grown to its present proportions he was considered some what radical and was not popular with the dd line members of his party in his earlier years but is now considered conservative The nomination of Brookhart is a triuniph of insurgency that will cause the old line politicians many sleepless nights They sought tp shelve Brookhart by unseating him when his election to the senate was contested but noxy he qbmes back stronger than ever His success indicates" that the voters of the Middle West arc thinking for themselves and 'are in no mood to be pacified with mere promises Cummins favored farm relief legislation but his constituents evidently had more faith in Brookhart than in him Brookhart is now the' logical successor of La o'lette Of course the Republican party will be split again for the con servative leaders are bent on ending career and thou sands will vote for the Democratic nominee as they did two years ago Owing to the rush of farm work it is said that the farmer vote in the primary was not heavy hence the coming campaign will be one of uncertainty At a'l events notice has been served on the regulars that the West can no longer be controlled in the old manner and henceforth will be a very uncertain quantity in elections HOME OWNERSHIP The Oklahoman recently collected figures showing the per cent age of home owners in the principal cities of the state They look like this: Ada 79 per cent Ardmore 81 per cent Blackwell 72 per cent Cushing 74 per cent Cherokee 72 per cent Chickasha 76 per cent Enid 86 per cent Davis 93 per cent Guthrie 73 per cent Norman 74 per cent Pauls Valley 79 per cent Perry 70 per cent Purcell 73 per cent Stillwater 75 per cent: Sulphur 73 per

growing these popular nuts Budding and grafting have worked wonders and it is now possible to grow bearing trees in a very tew year's Left alone pecans will not bear until several years old 1 his fact in times past discouraged planting since the average man had not the patience to wait for harvest time to begin As the nuts become better known to the world their popularity increases and the market widens accordingly It will be a long time before the crop reaches proportions that will cut the price to unprofitable levels The automobile is playing an important part in the education of the youth of Pontotoc county especially this summer By means of this machine students of the college can reach it from any point in the county and return in the afternoon thus saving a heavy item of expense for board When aircraft becomes as common as auto mobiles it will be possible for students to attend school I 00 miles or more from home and it will require considerable outlay on the part of colleges and universities to provide hangars for airplanes and blimps Teri years heftce wilsee this a common practice If hope Is worth anything to a growing crop one of bumper size will be raised in Pontotoc county this year The last rains came just in time to give everything a boost and things never looked more promising or several year everybody ha longed to see another general good crop but with boll
