IN POLITICS - A FAIR
DEAL FOR EVERYONE
I TERESTS OF ONE OF
THE BEST TOWNS IN
OKLAHOMA
Vol. 4. No. 8.
DAVENPORT, LINCOLN COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, MAR. 21, 1912.
$1.00 per year
r
55, Yes: 18, No
Again the people of Daven-
port have put themselves on rec-
ord as progressive by voting
"yes" on the proposal to issue
$15,000 water improvement
bonds, the proceeds of which
are to be used to drdl an artesian
well and provide a water supply
for the town.
Last Manday was the election
day, and when the hoard of trus-
tees canvassed the returns Mon-
day night, their finding was
that 55 votes had been cast for
the bonds and 18 against them.
Considerable feeling was in
evidence, on both sides of the
question, election day and it
was a surprise to many that the
opposition to the bonds did not
poll a larger vote.
Many of those who were most
active in opposing the issue, be-
lieving that it was unwise at
present to incur further indebt
:iess, have, since the matter is
settled, declared themselves to
be free from "sore spots" and
ready to acquiesce with the will
of the majority.
Kill Boll Woevils
We have this week a timely
and interesting article on the
Boll Weevil and how to increase
tin' yield of cotton, bv G. H. A1
for i special agent for the Farm-
ei'b' Co Operative ^ork, Jackson,
A-iss. Mr. Alford is authority
on iIns subject and this article
and two others which we will
give yon later are the results of
years of study and experiment.
Cotton is one of Oklahoma's
most valuable crops and any in-
form a; ion thilt will assist in in
creasing the yield of this staple
is of unusual interest
AH EXPLANATION
Mr. Editor: I desire to sav to
the public that no one connected
with tnis Home or work has ev-
er hinted to Mr. Hudson or any
one else that no wanted to take
his children from him. Matron
Collins requested him to send
them into the home mo:niug
and she would see that they
were kept clean and their dinner
provided for them and that she
would send or take them home
to him every night, free of
charge. It my duty as proba
tion officer to report such cases
and Judge Jarrett gave me a
letter to Mr. Hudson advising
him to accept Mrs. Collin's of-
fer which he declined to.
G. B Collins
EVERY FARM HAS A SURPLUS
of roosters among their chickens
at times. Cull them out, ask
your neighbor to do the same
and send a coop of these male
birds to the Davenport Orphans'
home. Let the pupils and teach-
ers take this up in every school
district. Mention it in the Sun
day school. Put a few birds in
a box and send them in to help
feed these little children.

was made for the school.
Ruined the Game
The delightful warm days the
first of the week liked to have
ruined the game and the players
wives compelled them to plant
garden but the cold wave re-
deemed us. They have played
regularly since. We regret the
loss of one of the members
whose wife took him back to
Kentucky.
When not engaged in the game
we have been very busy selling
seed potatoes, garden seed, flour,
meat, lard, sugar, coffee, canned
goods, hats, clothing etc. at
prices that "bring them in."
Believing that we will have
good crops, good times and good
people. We are as ever.
