Oil COTTON
Ed Burton Visits Tex; Mills and Gires
Much Useful Information
Ed Burton manager of the Chick-
asha Cotton Oil Co.' mill in this city
has returned from a trip to Texa
during which he visited several cot-
ton mills. He is much interested in
the proposition to establish such a
mill here and made a careful investi-
gation of the plants he visited.
At Bonham he found a mill that
has been in operation three or four
years the capacity of which has re-r
cently been increaned from 5000 to
10000 spindles. This mill has paid
a 12 per cent dividend from the stat
beside getting aside large sums out
of its earnings for improvements. It
is now running day and night and
employes all told about 400 people
all white. The labor is done on the
piece work system boys and girls
earnings from 50 cents to 80 cents a
day and the wages of the older people
running from a dollar to $1.50 a day.

get better prices for their product
than elsewhere.
Mr. Burton also visiter the Deni
son mill which is now in a prosperous
condition.
One point that was impressed par
ticularly on Mr. Burton by the mill
men was that it was unwise to have
anything to do with promoters In
building a mill. The advice eiven to
Chickasha by all "was to go ahead
organize a company and build the
mill without having any dealings with
promoters. .

The Chickasha delegates took a

Over two hundred delegates were
present at the meeting and next year
the number will oe larger as the order

be held one year hence and needless
to say Chickasha will be prepared to
take care of it
Said Mr. Taylor in sneaking of his
trip "Muskogee is a fine town larger
than Chickasha but I didn't nee half
as much building going on and not
nearly so many other imnrovements
in progress as I see in Chickasha. It
makes a man feel srood to ro awav

cities in the new state. He alwavs

THE UNDERNEATH DOG
Fido Had a Good Hiding Place Bat It
Didn't Go With the Brakeman
The Rock island railway is trvinz
$o (enforce the rule regarding the
carrying of dogs in passenger cars
and many and varied are the tricks
employed to smuggle a pet canine
aboard and keep him fronj the ob-
serving conductor and Jjrfkeman.
A woman at the depot this morn-
ing had a "pet rp" she wanted to
take with her into the coach. She
had gotten as far as the coach door
when iSrakeman Kinard ''discovered
suspicious movements in the neigh-
borhood of the lower part of the
woman's skirts This' didn't keep
Kmard from looking however and
when he had gotten a little focus
discovered six feet when there should
have been but two. The dog.was per-
suaded to "come irom under" after
his hiding place had been discovered
and the rules laid down to the wo-
man. She was quite indignant but
was finally persuaded to leave Fido
to the care of the baggageman who
promised to see that he didn't jump
out the door.

Women to Vote oa School Matters-
General Progress of the
Convention
Guthrie March 14 The democrat
I pa"y W1" hold Primare " 3nne 1
for the momination of candidates for
c party will hold primaries on June 1
the United States genate qt &
state offices. This ha? been aerreed
upon between the sub-committee of
the constitutional committee on prim-
aries and a sub-committee of the dem-
ocratic state central comittee.
The right of women to vote in the
new state was restricted further last
night when the privilege to vote in all'
matters relating to the schools was
changed to read that women should
vote only m school district elections
outline Alar. 14 The report of
the committee on schedule submitted
completed the galaxy of committee re-
ports to the constitutional convention.
Adjournment will not be reached to
day as predicted by the leaders last
week but probably wil come Saturday
inere is still considerable business
to come before the convention.
The report on levees drains and
ditches has been adopted with an
amendment to include irrigation. The
judiciary report was adopted as were
sections of the legislative deoartment
report. The state seal agreed on by
the convention is a design combining
the present Oklahoma seal and the
emblem of the five civilized tribes
of Indian Territory.
Revision is now in nrosrress on re
ports of levees and ditches indicia!
departments insurance legislative
departments' public debt and public
works perpetuities and monopolies.
public institutions and state build
ings revenue and taxation and county
boundaries and all of thes reports
can of course be advanced to engross
ment and third reading as soon as the
work of revision is completed
It is estimated that nearly two-
thirds of the constitution has how-
ever now been finally passed upon
including many of its most import-
ant provisions.
Several minor changes were made
in the judicial report. Where the re-
port provided only for the election
jof the first chief justice by the mem-
oers 01 tne supreme court an amend-
ment was added providing that he
should be elected as provided by law.
An amendment to the section provid-
ing that he should sprve as such im-
til the expiration of his term and that
thereafter a chief justice should be
tilected as provided bv law. An
amendment to the section providing
for the election of one district judge
in each district was also inserted to
allow the election of two in the Oklahoma-Canadian
district.
An amendment to the insurance re-
port of a sensational character but
which did not seem to meet with fa-
vor among the delegates was one by
Williams of Durant forbidding the
licensing of any insurance company
which pays a salary of over $50000
to any ot its officers or employes. An
entrance fee of $25 was provided and
the section giving the insurance com-
missioner authoritv to chartre com-
panies for examination' was stricken
iout and the matter left to the legis
lature.
