Lincoln Co. is being scoured
as wiih a fine tooth comb for
subscriptions to tne New Era
and Profitable Farming. The
young ladies are being treated so
courteously that more of them
art' constantly mak'irig big col-
lections.
Sharp competition is reported
from some quarters. A man
was cornered at a sale the other
day by -two contestants. Each
claimed his allegiance and votes
and a conversation something
lik • the following is said to have
oocuied:
"Now Mr. Blank, just think,
you, can give me 500 votes if you
will" 'No^ what do you think
I am, a *oting machine?" haid
the victim, "I'll be so tired I'll
have to lay off a week if 1 vote
for you 5U0 times."
' Oh, you see it's all done at
one time—all 5OO votes at one
ballot. All you need to do is
just sub—"
•'The same for me" broke in
the other Kill. "Don't forget
that—just two ballots aiid two
subscriptions." "No sir, you'r
going >0 fast there. Any man
u iii) voles for two candidates
for the same office loses his vote
and if he was fool enough to
vote 1,000 times—why, what are
you trying to do with me any-
way?" O, come out of it" said
the first girl, " You bnow what
we want and you know it's al-
right—one years subscription
for each of us, they advance you
two years. Come now—"
"No I don't know it is alright'
remonstrated Blank, "I don't
know it's alright by a long shot.
I can't yoto for two candidates
for the same place, and if I vote
for one of you, then the other
will be mad. So good bye now
I'm going home."
'Wait a minute—O, shucks,
1 he old grouch" cried both girls.
Blank went on home but later,
got to feeling so cluap over ttie
way he had stood the girls off,
he hunted them up separaiely
and dug up two dollars for each
of them
A mighty handsome little jew-
el case if given to every girl as
soon as she has turned in *10 on
subscriptions. These little gem
cases are beauties and are gold
finished and satin lined and are
not a very common ornament.

Obituary
W. H. Keeler, whose death,
Dec., 4th, was briefly announc
ed in last week's Era, was a
native of Connecticutt, having
been born at Ridgetield in that
state, February 22, 1848. He
came west when a young man
and in 18(5!) was united in mar-
riage to Miss Mary C. Norris at
Iola, Kansas, where the family
resided a number of years. Later
they moved to Washington and
in the early 90's returned to
Missouri. In November of 1901
they came to Oklahoma.
Besides the widow, deceased
leaves four sons and four daugh-
ters, all grown. He was regard-
ed as a successful man, in a
modest way, having reared and
educated an excellent family
and having always occupied a
place of leadership in the com-
munity. He was regarded as a
good neighbor, a loyal friend and
of unswerving honesty in his
business relation.
Death ocoured after an illness
of only a week's duration and
v as by reason of this the greater
shock to his host of friends who
had not been advised of his
dangerous condition. The re-
mains were laid to rest at the
Stroud cemetery, Wednesday
Dec. 0th, the 1. O. O F. of
which deceased was a member,
having charge of the ceremonies
COUNTY EXAMINATION FOR STUDENTS
ENTERING STATE A. & M.
C0LLE6E
White boys and girls fourteen yeara
of age and over will be granted exam-
ination for admission to the State Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College
located at Stillwater, Oklahoma, by
the County Superintendent on Satur-
day, December 30, at Chandler Lincoln
County, Oklahoma, as required by law.
The County Superintendent will hold
the examination, and the papers will
be graded by the A. & M. College.
Notice will be sent the prospective
student before the beginning of the
winter term, January 4. Such county
examinations will gave prospective
students much expense and trouble in
entering College.
Common and high school. graduates
are admitted to the College on their
diplomas without examination.
Tuition in the State A. & M. College
is free. The winter term opens Jan-
uary 4.
Miss Ida Lamer 0. Hydro, Ok.
is visiting in Davenport with
her sister Mrs. J. L. Edwards.
Road Building Success
The "33 miles of road without
a cent of cost" which the farm-
ers and townspeople built
straight through the county,
north and south last Friday
is said to be a dandy. An army
of men and teams was employed
the one day and worked accord-
ing to prearranged plans. From
a distance, it appears that the
Chandler News-Publicist is en-
titled to the credit for startiug
the project. The Chandler
Tribune, though it is not gener
ally very enthusiastic about any-
thing hatched out in the Pub
office, climbed into the band
wagon and betw een the two they
prodded that tier of townships
into doing something that has
made Lincoln county famous.
Of course the people of the coun-
try and the towns along the
road worked but they will get
credit for it in the papers. This
little bouquet is tendred our es-
teemed contemps with the reali-
zation that it is probable all the
recognization they will get for
their hard work in the interests
of the road.
