Editor The Star : It was the request of some of my friends in and about Reynoldsville to lot them know something about this country. We are located in Woods county, six miles from Helena. It Is in the northern central portion of Okla homa, just south of central Kansas. The county Is 48 miles wide and 58 miles long embracing territory greater than the state of Delaware. Tho general topography presents a variety of zones or belts of broad level prairie lands, broken here and there only by small ranges of hills and flowing streams. Throughout the county a variety of soil abounds. There are hard and soft lands and the many blends of the two, making possible great diversity of crops, which is the secret of Its wonder ful productiveness and development. Abundance of the purost water In places beneath the soil may be reached at a depth of 40 to 150 feet. The superb climate, rich soil and sub-irrigation re sult in the most successful production of wheat, corn, oats, barley, kufflr corn, broom corn, cane, sweet and Irish po tatoes, castor beans, cotton, alfalfa and vegetables of every kind, apples, peaches, pears, apricots, quinces, cher ries, plums, currants and all the berries grow to perfection, the biggest water melons you ever saw, and the California double-jointed peanuts. We have had four snows this winter but the cattle still graze on the corn stalks and wheat, making stock raising a most profitable pursuit. Dairying and poultry raising are also leading in dustries. There Is no government land In the county, most all the land being deeded, except the school sections, which are leased. Every 100 acres has improvement, some very fine housos and barns. Land is high, from twentv- Bve hundred to forty-five hundred dol lars, and some have sold aa high as eleven thousand for 100 acres. They aie going to build a normal school In Heloua that will cost $45,000. It will be built of brick made out of the clay in Helena. " The town of Helena is a pros perous place only one year old. Enid is a nice city of twelve thorn and inhab itants and is twelve year i old. We have littlo railroad towns al around us, from six to eight miles. Wo have all had good health. I have not had any rheumatis n this win ter so Jar. We may write rgain when spring opens up. Yours 1 uly, W. J. Thompson, Helena, Woods Co., Oklahoma. PARADISE ITEMIZED. GRANGERS VISIT HO-IMTOWN ORDER. An Old Fashioned Quilting will be Held by the Ladies in Grange Hall Thursday. Last Wednesday night twenty-five Paradise Grangers went to Hormtown to visit a sister order, which was or ganized about a year ago. Tho Para dise folks think Hormtown has one of the liveliest and buBt granges in the county from the fact that tho members all seem to be deeply interested in their work and they all work together. Per severe patrons. Messrs A. J. Sprague and John Daugherty each took a load, which consisted of " rickety rackety " band girls, calitumpiun band boys and a fow of the older folks who enjoyed the noise but do not belong to either of the bands. The ladies of Paradiso aro eoinff to have an old fashioned quilting in the Grange hall tomorrow, (Thursday) and anyone who wishes to go is Invited.
