of the contracting parties being in-
year—growing to the extent that
probably there is not a scrub cow
in the county. The herd of
thoroughbred Jerseys shown by
the Oklahoma State Hospital at
the state fair last week, attracted
much attention and favorable com-
ment. There were twenty-four of
these line Jerseys exhibited and a
number of premiums were secured,
probably the most prized being
the grand champion premium for
cow, which was awarded to "Lady
Hermit." M. B. Shives was in
charge, assisted bv Clarence Cox,
and they are well pleased, winning
in competition with some of the
best cattle in the state.
That T. E. Smith has the best

There were 107 Herefords evhibit-

gratulated for his success in win-
ning over such keen competition.
He came out well financially, and j
as a result of the showing has al-

good prices.
D. W. Burke exhibited eleven

into the city with the intention of
making Norman their permanent
home.
The statement of the batiks of
the city shows a gratifying financial
condition, not only of the batiks
but of the people, deposits being
exceptionally heavy for a county
of the population «f Cleveland. It
tends to show that the people of
this city and county are both
thrifty and industrious.
The business institutions of Nor-
man have Imilded well in the past

future. In every way Norman is
a modern city, with its paved
streets, extensive sewer system,
excellent lighting and power sys-
tem, vsplend id telephone system,
strong banking institutions, un-
excelled school system, the finest
water supply in the state, its ade-
quate tire protection, its interur-
ban railway accommodations, its
modern buildings and happy, pros-
perous people.
Those who have traveled exten-
sively during the summer months

no place were conditions encounter-
