unnecessary desire to create new
counties. Our counties in Oklaho-

are too small—and the creation of
new counties only adds tax burdens
without any benefits. The people
don't let the grouch line you up in

an act that% will be regreted in the
future. Once established a county
is not easily disenstablished. The
prospective office seekers see to
this. Mistakes once made cannot
be remended so the people of Ok-
lahoma should consider well before
asking that new counties be created
which must then be kept up ever
afterwards. '

Eastern Star Banquet
The Eastern Star held a rousing
meeting and a royal good time
Tuesday night at the Masonic hall
having as their guests several mem-
bers from the Purcell lodge. After
lodge work and several good
speeches, a bountiful banquet was
served. Everybody seemed to im-
bibe the spirit of the occassion, es-
pecially the Purcell visitors. Lex-
ington has a very strong member-
ship in the Eastern Star and their
influence is very pronounced. The
meeting Tuesday evening only
served to strengthen this influence.
