Davenport Brick Plant
plant panorama
us like a mystic
By F. A. Mitchell.
The brick
passes before
maize.
Last year it was a corn Held.
This year it is humming with
commercial life, the Mecca of
the brick industry of the South.
Prom the pit where the shale
is digged to the kiln where the
bricks are burnt and smoked, is
a continuous round of rolling
wheels and mixing mud.
The early morning whistle
gives no uncertain sound. It is
the signal to the building world
that the best brick are being
made at Davenport.
They are not Egytian brick,
made by slaves, cemented with
straws gathered from the fields
by Israel's descendants. They
are up-to-date in every way, fit-
ted to build "up to the skies"
buildings. The shale is excel-
lent in quality, inexhaustable in
quantity and easily pulverized.
A well 35 feet deep 12 feet in
diameter furnishes an abund-
ant supply of water for the big
boiler and for moistening the
pulverized shale.
The natural gas line passes
through the yard assuring fuel
for burning and smoking the
brick.
^ The buildings are all of u good
substantial character- The
machinery is of the liest. The
engine is of 180 horse power af
fording sufficient power to meet
every demand. In fact all of
the machinery is so well made
that it should run like perpetu-
al motion for years to come and
be the means of bringing un-
presumed •vealth to Dav^iport
and Lincoln County.
They have orders now for
100,000 brick.
The full capacity of the plant
is 50,000 hi :<;k a day or a good
run of #300 daily.
suggests is to put the roads
under county or district heads
who are competent and strictly
accountable to the county com
missioners.
Jones not a Patriot
If you have teais, prepare now
to shed one. Notwiths tanding
the fact that County Attorney
Jones poses as a patriot, sings
war songs, makes Fourth of July
addresses and whoops'er up gen
orally for stars and stripes when
occasion demands or even invites,
there are those in Lincoln coun
ty who regard these otherwise
good evidences as hollow mock-
ery in the light of his conduct
just previous to Independence
Day this year. Saturday he lit
on Prague and captured 13 gal
Ions of whiskey and 24 barrels of
near beer, some of it so near
that it was beer. Monday he
had a barrel, of beer nabbed at
Stroud. It was in cold storage
cooling for the celebration when
the deputy got it, took it to the
depot. It is said in Stroud that
while at the depot tli * barrel was
tapped and almost all the beer
taken out, water l>eing put in
its place.
with narrow crooked struts.
There is no room for surface nor
elevated streets cara in the heart
of the city, only along Wash
iugton street.
The National Conference of
Charities and Corrections open-
ed on Thursday morning, June
8. The Oklahoma banner oc
cupied a prominent place among
42 others in the great conven-
tion hall. There were present
1,832 delegates. It is to be de-
plored,. however, that the
churches have allowed this great
work to pass almost entirely, if
not entirly, into the hands of
consolidated charities. A very
significent and, to my mind sug-
gestive, fact, was that not one
of the meetings of any kind was
opened or closed with prayer
and scores of ministers present
in every meeting*. Time and
space forbids our more than
mentioning museums, parks,
subways, the old churches.
Pilgrim and Puritan buiying
grounds, etc. The great Baptist
church building, Tremont Tem-
ple is worthy of note, with its
seating c ipacity of 5,000. The
principal mass meetings of the
Conference w ere held there,

Appealed Bond Matter
*
An appeal has been taken to
the District Courd by J. B. A.
Robertson on the action of the
county commissioners in allow-
ing the S50,5000 county claims
to be put in judgment with the
intention of issuing funding
bonds to pay the judgment.
Some of hif. reason for the ap-
peal are; that the county, by
Constitutional and statutory pro-
vision is strictly forbidden
to incur indebtedness, such as
is represented by these claims,
in excess of the revenue and in
come of the county, without the
assent of the voters of the coim-
S enough shale "in Lincoln count) j ty; that there are irregularities
to supply brick for the worldsjin the-rendition of the said judg
building for years.
' It would be possible to have]
one hundred such plants as this
in Lincoln County bringing to
us a daily income of thirty thous-
and dollars, should theie be a
demand for so many brick
We have the shale, the natur-
al gas for fuel, the best of ship-
ing facilities. This one plant
will bring the needed capital for
many more.

As one goes north and east,
the country, customs and habits
of the people change. There
was more to be seen than we
had time to look at as the view-

we had 110 time to stop en route.

just off the press. Any young
person interested in a practical

read our strong indorsements
from former students, many of
them given after several years
experience; the letters from
business men who are employ-

from students who have attend •

Every statement made in this
catalogue is hacked by a cash

Big Time at Kendrick
Many Davenport people at-
tended the celebration at Kend-
rick Tuesday. The people of
that place did the thing up in a
very creditable manner- W. M.
Sexon made a fine address in the
forenoon. In the afternoon a
program consisting mostly of
music entertained the crowd.
The Kendrick band was 011 duty
almost all day and added much
to the enjoyment of the occasion
Dispite the fact that the mer-
cury was hitting the high places,
the crowd w«s good natural and
all seemed to have a good time.
There was perfect order of course
Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Brown,
who have been visiting in Miss-
ouri, arrived in Davenport last
Sunday morning. They say
Davenport still looks good to
them.

The base ball game last Satur-
day resulted in the score, Dav-
enport, 5, Prairie View, 4. It
was one of the swiftest games
ever witnessed ou the home
grounds. Both teams played
great ball, throughout the game.
This makes the best two out of
three for Davenport, against the
P. V's and it is something to be
proud of for the visitors have
been very successful at other
places and are rated among the
faste-t ball players in the coun
ty.

Summer Comfort In the Home
A WOMAN'S FRIEND
To worn-out teachers, debilitated
saleswomen —to tired housewives—we
offer Brown's Monthly Reffulator with I
as much confidence that it is what you
need as we would offer bread or meat
to a hungry man. As valuable to girls
just entering womanhood as to those
of 40 to 50 with their ills. To these
and millions of others it acts as a friend
each month in relieving pain, soothing
and strengthening nerves, removing
excitability and fear; removes the
worn-out feeling and troubles caused
by functional disorders. Promotes re-
gularity, and actually ades two or three
days of real life each month to the
average woman. In short, it is purely
a woman's remedy—and the best and
surest to be had. If you are diffident,
we will Bend you, in plain wrapped
package-$1.00 per package-three
for $2.00. Send money by express or
money order.
