VOLUME 40 STILWELL, ADAIR COUNTY, OKLAHOMA fact ind Comment Let' the state in the-beginning that this column is intended sta a general news comment, and so as is in my power Will be conducted fairly. While at times there may- be attempts at humor, as a rule it will be a candid expression-of opinion based on facts. On of the many angles of the Jackson Barnett inheritance case is being heard ux Federal court at Muskogee. Who remembers the Maud Lee Mudd case at Vinita some years ago, and how speedily the matter went out of print when there was no longer any money to be made out of it. Two cats, it is said, had a dispute over the division of a piece of cheese, and in order to make the scales of justice balance the cheese was divided into two parts, not quite equally.

One of the cats kept biting off of one piece or the other until all of the cheese was gone. NATIONWIDE SURVEY OP FARMERS' COOPERATIVES China also has a dust bowl populated by several million people. The Chinese natio.n however, has no relief-organization, and the chances are that a million or more people will perish from starvation. The government of China, war-torn and disorganized, factions playing against each other, is unable to give aid to its people. The costumers have invaded the daily press with, chit-chat about what is stylish in men's wear this spring The main point wth the average man is to keep covered and keep warm or cool as the season may dictate: So long as he 'is clean and neat the average man is not.hampered by.a color scheme, pleats, plaquets or puckers, Maybe it is because so many densfailed id seed last iiiiAMfl' BtoMiftl Gardens, trtwtt patches canning and other of serving food for "home use was quite the rule when people raised families of fifteen or more.

The survey in the Ninth District is a part of the antion-wide analysis of cooperative organizations under the direction of the Farm Credit Administration. The Banks for Cooperatives in each of the 12 districts will be assisted the extension divisions of the state agricultural colleges and the state bureaus of markets where such bureaus are established. "Purposes 6f the survey are several-fold" but the primary one is to determine factors of success or failure of cooperative farm organiba- tions," Mr. Snyder, "We want to learn the reason for success or for distress if ex ists.

We will attempt to assist in finding mistakes that have been made to the end that the Bank for Cooperatives may be of greater assistance in helping to' build soudner; cooperatives. 1 Each of the Banks for as a-reuslt of the survey, to estimate the potential field for field' for' financing cooperatives activities.

Sometimes a club or a group of men offer prizes for the best kept lawns, flower gardens, etc. Keeping a town- clean and keeping it rid of trash heaps and unsightly dumps is some job, but making it beautiful to look at and delightful to live in is an undertaking, that is, it takes into account all of the people who liv in it, and who are determined to make their personal part of the town as pleasant as possible. Seems like it is unfair for us to have to take th dust that has afflicted us the past day or two when we have just had a bountiful spring rain that made the byroads muddy and set the ditches and branches to For a time here Wenesday evenoing the visibility as press dispatches call it, was less than two blocks. Arkansas has'had the semblance of a drivers lic law for years but the has passed 'STiaew- law intended to really control the main obstacles to highway safety. The license, applies to all members of the family owning and driving the car or trurk, and the fee is 35 cents per person.

The money thus derived is used as salaries of the state police or highway patrolmen. It is hoped that the provisions of this law "Will many fatalities and correct abuses that "have contributed to the high death Tate in that state from careless driving The matter of highway patrol has been inadequacy, but with the provisions of the new law, increasing the number of patrolmen and giving them a better system to work with the press of the state gives the impression that dirv- ing in Arkansas will be safer.

I. am so stranger to this county, as I wis a Resident, and owned a newspaper at Westville in Territory days.

I have loved the woods and hills of this" county since I first saw it more than thirty-three years ago, I feel more at libme here than apy spot I know.

That is the aim of the present! management. I want to meet and get acquainted with people, to do you favors where I can, to merit your business, to serve you with an advertising and news sheet that will be worth your patronage and attention. I have friends in all classes and conditions of men. Neither Pharisee, nor yet publican am finding good in all men, both serving and behig served. I am not a congenital hater.

PIONEER WOMAN DIES WOULD MUZZLE THE PRESS A bill sponsored by Tom Right would restrict the press of the state to a point that talking about gardens would be a libel, Of course such a law would be manifestly unconstitutional.

But why pass such a law in the first place, and put the press and people to the expense of costly trials for nothing more than throwing fear into timid publishers and politicians to get away wth shady tricks without the public finding it out through the newspapers. Politicians and so-called statesmen should learn to take it on the chin like other people do, or else behave themselves. The libel laws of the state are rigid enough without any tinkering. There are other crying needs in the state that demand the thought j.ndj effort of our legislators.
