PAULS VALIjEY DEMOCRAT
VOLUME XIX.
PAULS VALLEY, GARVIN COUNTY. OKLAHOMA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1922.
NO. 38.
BREEDERS HAVE AN
ENTHUSIASTIC MEET.
SHOW NOW ON
The first dpy of the annual Gar-
vin county poultry show began
this morning, when a gratifying
number of fowls were placed in
competition for high honors in the
R. M. Love building adjoining the
Hamly theatre.
The show will last throughout
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Substantial premiums are being
offered for prize birds.
Officers of the Garvin County
Poultry Association for this sea-
son are Mrs. Ella Burch, presi-
dent, Dave Sherrill, secretary,
Mrs. Lena T. Gentry, assistant
secretary, and Geo. C. Winans,
judge.
A list of premium winners will
appear in the Democrat of next
week,
The real meaning of the poultry
business to our community is
forecefully brought to light by the
works of Secretary Sherrill in a
preface to the printed programs of
the association.
Mr. Sherrill says, "A fact which
is most surprising to me is the
amount of poultry and eggs ship-
ped out of Garvin county in 1921.
All towns come in for their share.
Pauls Valley is the largest ship-
per, Wynnewood next, then Lind-
say, Stratford, and Paoli.
"More than"$180,000.00 worth of
chickens, turkeys, and eggs hav-
ing been shipped from Garvin
county in 1921. Still some people
say that chickens don't pay.
Wake up, and let us make Gar-
vin county the banner poultry
county of the state."
, The largest get-together ever
staged by the Garvin county pure
bred breeders association was
held in Pauls Valley Wednesday
night.
A business session was held at
the city hall, following which the
members and guests retired to the
Elite Cafe where "a banquet was
served.
Out-of-town speakers of the ev-
ening were Nat Blake, of Oklaho-
ma City, C. W. Callerman, of Still-
water, B. Mendenhall of Purcell,
and Fred Ball of El Reno. Mayor
Hardee Russell addressed the
breeders and assured them of the
interest and co-operation of Pauls
Valley and its business men.'
Officers of the pure-bred breed-
ers association are J. E. Biffle,
President, and Chas. E. Cavender,
Jr., Secretary.

The corporation commission of

producers, shippers, consumers,
and dealers, concerned that a
hearing will be given the case fil-

state in which complaints are
made relative to railroad rates.
The hearing of the cases con-
tended for by the roads will come
before the commission at Oklaho-

Strong interest is being enga-
ged by the cases, according to re-
ports, on account of the attempt
by the roads to secure orders null-

against them by the Oklahoma
corporation commission.
