The meeting voted a nine
months school for the next year
but failed to sav when it should
begin. This matter will be de-
termined later.
As the terms of all the officers
expired with this meeting it was
declared necessary to elect a
whole new board. Nominations
were made and the polls left
open until 6 o'clock with the re-
sult that O. D. Groom was
chosen treasurer, Mrs. R. C.
Price, cferk and W. T. Irvin
director.
Tha teachers for the next year
had been contracted for by the
old board as follows: Frank Mc-
Lain, principal, Mary Dye.
grammer room, Aquilla Nickell,
intermediate, and Athalia Quack -
enbush, primary.
POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
Post Master Burgess has re
ceived advice from the post-
master general that the local
office has been made a branch
of the postal savings bank. This,
we believe, is the fourth in the
county, branches having been
established at Chandler, Stroud
and Prague. Instructions have
not been received by Mr. Bur-
gess but it is probable that he
will be in position to receive de
posits in a few days.
MEMORIAL DAY
The success which attended
the Memorial Day exercises, last
Thursday, was very gratifying.
Over a hundred school children
and many carriage loads of older
people visited the cemetery in
the morning and placed flowers
on the graves of friends and re-
latives who are sleeping there.
The resting places of the old
soldiers were given particular
attention but the mounds of
those who had no near relatives
or friends present were not for-
gotten.
In the afternoon the auditor-
ium of the new school house was
filled for the formal program.
Before this gathering County
Attorney Wilberforce Jones de-
livered the address of the day.
Col. Jones, a Civil War veteran
himself, was at his best. In an
eloquent and stirring oration he
recounted the great events in
the nation's history tint inspire
sentiments of patriotism, con-
cluding with the theme that,
"from the humblest cottage in
the land there leads a broad
highway to the White House."
The address was a masterpiece
of its kind and a stimulent to
the patriotism of the young that
will not soon be forgotten.
Seated on the stage with the
speaker were, S. C. Morgan and
W. H. Fowler veterans of the
Civil War on the federal side, H.
O. Randel and C. D. Hill, ex-
confederates and M. H. Taulbee
and R. C. Price of the Spanish
American War.
A. J. Langer, president of the
town board of trustees, was
master of ceremonies and it is to
his efforts that the success of the
day is, in a great measure, due.

STREETER SPEAKMAN FOR ATTORNEY
As a candidate for County Attorney
before the democratic primary I wish
to call the voters' attention to some of
the facts which have induced me to
make this race. In the first place,
Lincoln County needs a County Attor-
ney, and I need the job. I am the first
home product, the first thoroughbred
Oklahoman to ask for this office. I
was brought to this State a child in my
mother's arms at the time of the open-
ing. As a farmer's boy my first school
days were spent in the dugouts and log
huts of Lincoln County. With no out-
side help I have worked my own way
through every step of the educational
system of Oklahoma and graduated
with the first law class of the State
university.
I am a young man. I have no wires
to pull and none to pull me. I have no
factional debts to pay with favors if
elected, and no factional sores to heal.
For these reasons I will be able to
stand for the enforcement of the law
because it is law, for the will of the
people because that will is sacred.
Other candidates tell you that, they
are opposed 10 high taxes. I have a
definate plan which will help to reduce
your taxes. I am competent to fill this
office because I have spent my past life
preparing for it. As my legal training
has been in the Oklahoma law school I
am thoroughly - conversant with the
laws of our state and the need of their
strict enforcement. The Surpreme
Court admitted me to practice before
every court of this State one year be-
fore my school course was completed.
My life is a record of which I would
be glad for you to read every word.
My future is a hope which my election
to this office will make brighter. And
that hope, in the grace of God and the
trust of the people, is that my life both
public and private shall be consecrated
to the suppression of crime, corrupt
government, and the unfair advantage
of the rich over the poor.
If I am nominated and elected it will
be because the law abiding citizens of
Lincoln County want a young man for
£ounty Attorney who will enforce
evey law against every law breaker
alike. No political ring or boss will
find favor at my hands. 1 will ^make
them no campaign promises, and by so
doing I will be free to treat them the
same as any other law violaters if
elected. I want to be understood, I
would rather spend my life fighting in
the private ranks of democracy than to
be an office holder when that office is
made a hell-hole by the orders and dic-
tations of some political boss.
I trust that I shall be able to meet
and talk with every voter before the
primary.

FROM THE HOME
Dr. Huddleson has been one of two
of our house physicians for the Nazar-
ene Dependent Children's Home at
Davenport ever since the Home moved
to Davenport. He has always been
kind loving and attentive, notwith-
standing that there is no salary or fee
attached to any of this orphanage
work. The Doctor was always on
hand to cheer and help when the chil-
dren were sick, advising and instruct-
ing the nurse and attendants. We
cheerfully recommend him to citizens
of any community and bespeak for him
ma'iy friends in his new home.
G. B. Collins, Supt.
(Miss) Ollie Ewell, Sec.-Treas.
Nazarene Dependent Children's Home.
DR. HUDDLESON TO KREMLIN
Dr. J. W. Huddleson will leave
the first of next week for Krem-
lin, Okla., where he has bought
property and will practice medi-
cine. The rest of the family
will follow in a few weeks. The
departure of this excellent fami-
ly will be keenly regretted by
the people of Davenport. The
doctor has practiced here suc-
cessfully for about five years and
has attained and enviable repu-
tation as a practitioner and as a
man of integrity, Both he and
his family have taken an active
part in the life of the town and
their work and influence will be
missed. Doctor last Sunday re-
signed the superintendency of
the Christian Sunday School, a
position which he has held for a
number of years. The Era,
while regretting their departure,
wishes them success, and can
assure the people of Kremlin
that they are worthy of a cordial
welcome and the confidence and
esteem of the people of that
town.
Don't Wait Until The Fall
We are of the opinion that if
you are expecting to attend our
school you cannot give a reason-
abl excuse for postponing enter
ing until fall. We can present suf-
ficient proof to convince you
that the earlier you start in to
obtain a practical education, the
better it will be for you. VVe
have now almost as large an at-
tendance in the Summer as in
the Winter, We offer every
inducement in Summer that we
offer in the winter. Our past
records show that students at
tending school in June, July and
August make as good progress
as those attending any other
three months in the year. This
is due to the fact that our school
rooms are cool and pleasant, and
that our teachers put forth the
same energy in the Summer
months as in the Winter. He
who enters now will finish in
time for a good position during
the busy Fall season.
If you have what you think
would be a reasonable excuse
for not attending school before
Fall, let us have it, and we will
give you our side of the question.
If we can show you that you
can start into 1913 with more
money, and a practical educa
tion besides, than you could to
continue as you are until fall and
then attend school, will we not
have done you a favor? It has
been our life work solving just
such problems as yours, and
qualifying young men and wom-
en to earn three dollars where
they could not have earned one.
Write us by return mail; tell
us confidentially what is hinder-
ing you from entering before
fall. Capital City Business Col
lege, Guthrie, Okla.
