PLEA FOR CO-OPERATION
1 am the duly selected Chair-
man of the Agricultural Com-
mittee of the Chamber of Com-
merce, and feel my responsibil-
ity. The Board of Directors of
the Chamber of Commerce unan-
imously decided on September
2nd, that Cleveland county must
have an exhibit at the State
Fair at Oklahoma City and at
the International Dry Farming
Congress at Tulsa. They were a
unit in the belief that Cleveland
county must be properly repre-
sented at those meetings. We
found it would cost $300.00 in
cash to meet the requirements
but felt that the progressive cit-
izens of Cleveland county would
not hesitate to raise so reason-
able an amount, it being so
much less than other counties
were putting up for the same
work. I am informed that oth
er counties are gving even as
high as $1500.00 for an exhibit,
but little better, if any, than we
are getting for $300.00. We went
to work and by persistent effort
upon the part of many aids, we
succeeded in getting the follow-
ing subscriptions to-wit:

Mr. Thompson has been threaten-
