MOUNTAIN VIEW'S FREE FAIR
Was Well Attended and Ex-
hibits Plentiful.
The Mountain View free fair,
in which Mountain View, Mar*
shall and Oak Dale townships]
participated with exhibits, started
on Thursday, but the rain in the
morning delayed the entries.
Friday was the big day. Ex-
hibits were all in place under
the big tent by noon and the
stock entries had been made and
on the grounds. Judging com-
menced Friday afternoon and
the different departments were
completed by night and premium
ribbons placed.'
The entries iu the live stock
departments were many and com-
petition was strong, especially of
hogs and horses. A visit to
these departments made one
realize that the past few years
had brought great changes iu the
line of better and larger stock for
this part of the state. The coun-
try surrounding Mountain View
has many breeders of pure bred
hogs and it will be only a few
years until every farmer will
have a better class and bigger
■hogs to put on the market.
The agricultural department
contained more exhibits than
was expected. The few weeks
of dry weather preceeding the
fair had its effect on some pro-
ducts, but while the showing was
not as good as last year, there is
every reason to believe this par-
ticular locality produced more
good agricultural exhibits than
can be shown from anv other
section of Oklahoma.
The fancy work department
was one of the big attractions
again this year for the ladies,
and even the men could not re-
frain from commenting on the
many beautiful pieces of fancy
work exhibited.
The canned goods department
which consisted of fruits, jellies,
preserves, pickles, etc., was well
filler! and it made a person hun-
gry to feast on the good things
contained inside the glass jars.
A great deal of credit is due
W. T. Parnell, president of the
local free fair association, and
Secretary Study.
The Tribune-Progress will pub-
lish the names of those who re-
ceiver! premiums, next week.
Riddle-Reynolds.
A quiet home wedding, at-
tended by relatives and a few
friends, took place at the home
of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. R. D. Reynolds, last Wednes-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, and
J. Edward Riddle and Trecil
Mirth Reynolds were joined in
marriage by H. H. Clouse, pastor
of the Rainy Mountain Baptist
Mission.
Mr. and Mrs. Riddle are two
of Mountain View’s prominent
and highly respected young peo-
ple. Miss Reynolds has always
known Mountain View as her
home and attended the public
schools here and would have
been a senior this term. Her
wedding and birthday anniver-
saries can be celebrated on the
same date hereafter and her
many friends extend congratu-
lation and birthday greetings.
Mr. Riddle has been in Moun-
tain View about eight months,
and has owned and had charge
of the Mountrain View Electrical
Supply establishment, and re-
cently, with his brother, pur-
chased the Mountain View garage.
He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
Riddle of Chickasha. He has
made many triends during his
stay here and expects now to
become a permanent citizen.
The newly married couple
started Wednesday afternoon in
their automobile for a two week's
outing at Medicine Park and
Fort Sill.
Grain Wanted.

wheat, corn and kaffir corn. See

made of the choicest wheat; made by the finest mill in the
southwest; made by experienced millers, who use every sanitary
precaution to make it as pure as it is possible for it to be manu-

better for light bread. Ask your merchant for “Yul con’s

The Mountain View public
schools will open next Monday
morning for a term of nine
months. All of the teachers
have arrived, two of whom came
last Sunday in order to avoid
being delayed by the railroad
strike and tie up of trains had
the strike order been carried out
as expected.
There will be sixteen teachers
this year, including the two rural
schools which are in this district.
Superintendent F. W. Whinery
has been re-employed, making
his fourth term with the schools.
Mr. Whinery attended the state
university at Norman the past
summer and receiyed his M. A.
degree. Much credit is due him
for the advancement and stand-
ing of the Mountain View school.
Out school is classed with the
independent districts and has a
higher rating in points than
many county seat schools and in
some instances has a higher
rating than cities of 10,000 and
larger population. These facts
are highly appreciated by the
patrons and citizens of this dis-
trict and they are proud of the
town's public schools.
T. E. Sullinger, of Edmond,has
been employed as principal. Mr.
Sullinger received his education
in the public schools and uni-
versity of Kentucky, and has had
six years experience as a teacher,
three years of that time as prin-
cipal. He comes highly recom-
mended in all branches of high
school work and has had con-
siderable experience in athletic
work.
The other teachers in the high
school will be Miss Lucile Town-
send, of Ackerman, Miss., who
will teach German and other
subjects. She has had a number
of years experience, and holds
an A. B. diploma from the Mis-
sissippi college at Columbia.
Miss Birdie Crabtree, of Brad-
les, Ark., will teach Latin and
■other subjects. She was princi-
pal of the Dyer, Ark., school in
1914, and held the same position
with the Spencer, Ark., school in
1913, and holds an A. B. diploma
from the Henderson-Brown col-
lege, of Arkadelphia, Ark.
