Oklahoma City .-Details for “Press
Day.” Saturday, September 30, at the
Oklahoma State Fair, are now being
worked out by Horace W. Shepard,
president, and E. S. Bronson, secre-
tary, on behalf ol the Oklahoma Press

of the Oklahoma State Fair. It is
proposed to make the editors and pub-

have the time of their lives. Under
tentative arrangements, the State 1-air

informal as possible. Officers of the
Press association will doubtless ur
range for a meeting at which any busi-

quire each publisher to call at the ad-
ministration building immediately on

man registering will be given a sur-
prlse of some sort, but officers of the

| line. They do assert, however, that the
newspaper men will be royally enter-
tattled.
There will be a press bureau at the
fair where the registration books will
be kept and a competent man In charge
to provide visiting members of the
Oklahoma press as well as newspapers
out of the state with any information
they may desire.
