THE STORE THAT PONT DECEIVE
KAY COUNTY’S GREATEST STORE
Took First Premium
Tuesday morning Prof. Lovett re-
ceived by mail from the judges of the
Oklahoma state fair the blue ribbon
which certifies that the individual
work of the Blackwell public schools
is the best in the state. As this is
the first year for our schools to ex-
hibit and they were not aware of all
of the requirements, they can indeed
be congratulated on their wonderful
success. They won first on copy
books, second on Oklahoma maps,
second on agricultural note books,
second on kindergarten weaving, and
first on general school exhibit, m
the face of a very strong competition.
Prof. Lovett and his assistants may
well feel proud of their work.
7, Thos. Brooks Fletcher., Jan. 16,
Strickland Gillilan Feb. 12, and the
Hussars, a musical organization,
unique and popular, constitutes a
menu that is very attractive. The
price of season tickets has been
placed at $2.00 for adults, and $1.00
for school or college pupils, and as
we understand it, is available to the
pupils of the vicinity as well as the
city. The tickets are now on sale
and can be obtained of any lady of
the Chautauqua, and at Briscoe s
book store. The ladies should sell
at least 400 season tickets to be safe
on the cost of the course, and they
are entitled to the support of every
citizen who believes in wholesome en-
tertainment.
A Beautiful Ceremony
Last Friday evening the ladies of
the W. C. T. U. unveiled their Frances
Willard memorial window in the
Blackwell Jubilee Week
1 The business men’s committee are
still hard at work on the program for
the great jubilee week in Blackwell
Willard memorial window in lue I ^ T, to 28 in connection with the
Methodist church. The program was Oct 23 to *8. In jonne edition
one of great interest and there was M?5>0^light page papers, seven col-
a good crowd in attendance. Mrs. J. 15 °°0 elgnt P*«ealdvlertiB’illg the at-
Sims presided and announced the nuns l g ’ dvertiBementB
program numbers, which included spe-
cial songs by Miss DeMand, congre-
gational singing, and a number of pa-
pers on the life of Miss Willard. All
the papers were of interest, but the
one of Professor Lovett was of spe-
cial interest because of the fact that
he wrote of her as he personally
knew her. It was a beautiful tribute
to a beautiful woman, and we would
like to some day print the same for
the benefit of those who did not have
the privilege of hearing it. The win-
dow' is one of which the ladies may
well be proud, and they are indeed
to be congratulated upon their thus
honoring the woman who more than
all others has done most for human-
in this country.

Mrs J. S. Butcher has returned

Oklahoma City, Oct. 9.—To have all
county seats in the state linked by a
good road, and to see along those
roads 20,000 five-acre farms and 10,-
000 ten-acre farms, was the main fea-
ture of the address delivered here by
Col. Sidney Suggs, commissioner of
public highways, at the good roads
meeting at the Oklahoma state fair
on Saturday. That there was less
than 100 miles of macadam perma-
nent roacr in the state, so far as^he
had been able to learn, and about 75,-
000 miles of highway altogether, w’as
another point dwelt on. He said at
least 75 per cent of this vast mileage
, was in a deploOble condition, and
! more than onvtotif of the highways
were absolutely closed.
Saturday was good roads day at the
state fair. A meeting was held at 10
o’clock in the morning at which near-
ly one hundred good roads enthusi-
asts were present. W. R. Goit, engi-
neer for the state highway department
presided. 'He gave a short talk. Im-
promptu speeches were made by many
of those present. Despite the small
attendance at the meeting. Commis-
sioner Suggs anil others of the de-
partment were well pleased at the
enthusiasm. Suggs said good roads
in Oklahoma had received another
boost.
I am not prepared to state now just
what steps should be taken to rem-
edy the deplorable condition of our
roads,” continued Suggs. There is
some question about our road im-
provement law, which, however, will
be clarified just as soon as the bond
attorneys pass on the- issue of Tulsa
county. I am not prepared to offer
any suggestions as to future meth-
ods. I do not believe it is for any
one man to take unto himself the
burden of solving such a pepblem. 1
am gathering data from every county.
Before I attempt to make any rec-
ommendation to the legislature, I ex-
pect to consult with men in ever)
township and county in the state,
thresh out the needs and get a com-
prehensive view of the situation. Then
we will recommend such legislation
as may be necessary.
"However, under the law I shall in-
sist every mile of road and every
bridge and culvert that is constructed
as permanent, be such. I expect to
see the taxpayers’ money is properly
spent and they get value received 1 n-
der the law I am expected to prepare
standard specifications and plans, and
1 am doing so. I have some of the
best, engineers in the country assist-
ing me and .1 am submitting these
plans to other engineers before adopt-
ing them. When these plans ,and
specifications are complete, there will
be no excuse for Inferior construc-
tion. All that will be necessary will
be for the authorities In charge of the
work in the several counties to see
their contractors hue to the line. I
want to say that from now' on, so far
as the department is concerned, per-
manency wll be the slogan. I believe
everybody from the taxpayer, who is
first and most directly interested, to
the county commissioners and the
township trustee, who will have
charge of the work, will co-operate
with me.
“Better roads mean better and more
homes, better citizenship and more
contented families. I want to see the
day when the farmer can get into his
wagon or automobile at his door and
drive to any point in the state without
fear of being ‘bogged up.’ The farmer
is the first consideration.”
