coming Garvin County Poultry j
Show which will be held at >
Pauls Valley Jan, 8, 9, 10,1913, j
and they will have a number of!
birds to enter.
It seems that not a few peo-;
pie have considered the values!
of the poultry business.
At the first annual poultry [
show of Tillman county, held a'
Fredrick last week, over 300
birds were on exhibit, and U- S.
Drummon, Secretary of the As-
tiociation, announced that during
the year there had been shipped
from Fredrick fourteen cars of I
chickens and turkeys valued at1
8'28,OoO, local shipments amount-!
ing to $17,(W> ai:d '2.000 case-; of
eggs valued at $10,000, making
a total o' 155, OOu.
Howell of Davis, president of the a?- >
sociation presided at the meeting and
P. N. Kerr acted as secretary. There
wa> quite a number of prominent citi-
bens pre ?nt. A strong memorial was
addressed to Congress, protesting
against the re-opening of the tribal
rolls, and asking congress to prompt-
ly distribute the tribal funds now-
held in the U. S. Treasury, to which
the Indians are justly entitled, and
which has long been withheld in vio-
lation of solemn treaty agreements,
was passed and a copy of same was
ordered sent each memeber of cong-
ress. The memorial also asked that
the tribal afi'airs he speedily wound
up in accordance with treaty agree-
i ment and promises many times madr
but as often broken. The memorial
cites the long delays and wrongs to
the Indians in this matter. A com-
mittee thus, consisting of Dr. T. P.
Howell, of Davis Dr. J. M. Miller of
Antlers, Ed Johnson of Norman, to
go and remain in Washington to look
after legislation in behalf of the In-
dian Treaty Krights, was appointed.
Baptist Bazaar.
The Baptist ladies are receiving
many congratulations upon the won-
derful success of their tazaar. They
realized $140.00 from the sale last
Saturday and still have in the window
of Williams' grocery store a number
of attractive articles that will be for
sale during this week.

Christian, Methodist and Presbyterian
churches will have Christmas trees
with short programs of songs and
recitations by the Sunday School chil-
drert.

will make the rounds and distribute
the presents.

(Inly Three Pass Exams for Rhodes j
Scholarship.
1 Three of the nine students who took |
the recent examination for the Rhodes I
i scholarship from Oklahoma were sue- j
1 cessful in the preliminary test, accord- ,
i ing to word received from Oxford, |
] England, where the papers were grad- j
1 ed. The three sucessful candidates,
I who still must take an examination in
j Greek at Oxford, are T. O. McLauglin,
I of East Enid, L. E. Nelson, now of j
Liberty, Missouri, and C. Eagleton,
' now at Princeton University. None of
I these represents the University of
^ Oklahoma. _ j
i V or the purpose of bettering their j
I conditions the local school teachers j
1 of Oklahoma City have formed a j
j union chartered under the American j
j Federation of I.abor. At the last
I meeting of the local trades council the
I school teachers sent delegates and
took an active part in the proceedings.
While there is no friction between
the school board and the teachers the
action was taken they say, to give
them a unity that will count in fur-
thering legislation.
ues, "by the attention paid me by
American students and their confid-
ing amiability, and it was difficult for
me to believe their masters when 1
was told of the spirit of duty and
morality which prevcied among them.
The prayers with which the universi-
ties are opened each day are not mere
ly a vain formality. Religion in Amer
ica is above all a question of mental
seriousness which may be expressed
in the well known verses of Emerson:
" 'When duty whispers low. Thou
must, The youth replies: I can."'

cess should find financial backing to
develop the fields he now has under
control. He ha>> been a factor in lo-
cating and putting down oil wells in
18 different fields and 15 of those
fields are today producing in paying
quantities. The Democrat hopes that
all the companies may succeed in
bringing in gushers and make Garvin
county the richest oil producing coun-
ty in the world, and looks like some-
thing is going to happen.

Emile Boutroux, the French Aca-
demician, was particularly impressed
during his recent trip in the United
States by the tremendous faith in
the power of education which he every
where encountered. In this collection
he says:
"Nowhere else in the world is more
faith placed in the powers of instruc-
tion and moral education, to increase
the capacity, the wisdom and the mor-
al qualities of man."
"I was greatly touched," he contin-
Miss Bradtield Showered.
Tuesday evening the members of j
the Susanna Wesley Bible class, of.
which Miss Pearl Bradtield is teacher,,
met with the Misses Hill at the Pratt;
House to discuss plans for decorating
the Methodist Christmas tree.
Although there was a steady down
pour of rain and the mud puddles
were well over one's shoes, most of
the members of the class were pres-
ent, and, as was later proven, there
wa.-, more on hand than a mere dis-
cussion. Little Robert Satterlield soon
appeared on the scene with a Santa
Claus face and a real Santa Claus
suit case, which he promptly opened
and gave to each guest a box tilled
with dainty sandwishes and chicken
sr-lad.
After the refreshments were duly
enjoyed Master Robert again appear-
ed with a large box, which he placed
in Miss Bradfields lap.
Upon opening it Miss Bradtield was
convinced that the old saying, "it
never rains but it pours" applied to
indoors as well as out doors.
Handkerchiefs 'broidered, handker-
chiefs crocheted, handkerchiefs lact
edged, handkerchiefs initialed, branty
salve, satchets, lavender rings and
jabots were all tied up in attractive
packages that looked most Christ-
masy and attested the popularity of
the teacher.
The oil interest in this county is
i on a boom, and it is seldom that such
activity is ever seen in an undevelop-
| ed field as is now going on in this
! county. If the opinions of men well
up in the oil world are worth anything
there must be untold wealth deep un-
I der the soil of Garvin county.
J There are now three different oil
companies in the county and the| jn (jarvjn Collllty, upto Dec-

in this city Monday, headed by prom-
inent men. A contract was consuma-
ted at Lindsay Monday between the
Chickasha Oil Co. and the Lindsay
Oil Co., whereby the latter furnish-
ed 5,000 or 6,000 acres of oil leases
already secured and the former com-
pany furnished the cash with which
to put down the first well 5 miles
-outiieast of Lindsay, and the actual
; work to begin not later than the first

The first and parent company of
i the four was the Garvin County Oil &
Gas Co., headed by J. M. Sullivan,
which was organized some months
] ago. This company has over 6,000
I itcres of choice oil leases on

same date.
The total for the state to Dec.
1st. for Ibis year is 764,29-r',
