>V\>T FAKMKUS TO JOIN CLUB
Membership Fee and Annual Ones Cut
In Two for Their Benefit
The Blackwell Commercial club
wants the co-operation and fellowship
of the farmer. This was clearly dem-
onstrated at the regular meeting ot
the club Monday night. j posed
An amendment, to the by-laws was th(
proposed to be voted on at the next
regular meeting on April 13, which
will reduce the membership fee and
annual dues for the farmer, or rural
business man as he is spoken of in
the club, to $6.00, instead ot
which is paid by members living W
131 ac kwell.
It was mentioned that several prom-
inent farmers had stated that they
would like to become members of the
club but they felt Dial the dues were
a little high. This resulted in the
proposal of the above amendment
which will give them all the privi-
leges of the other members at a little
less than half the expense. ,
Twelve new members were received j
at Monday night’s meeting. In this'
connection Secretary Jones stated that
the club as a whole is not taking the
interest in the campaign for new
members that it should Mr. Swann
and Mr. Larkham, captains of the t.wo
sides in the contest and the secre-
tary, being the only three men who
had secured any new names for mem-
bership. The secretary added that
.] W. Morse had ordered the medal,
which will be here before the next
would come for actual expenses,
which means something like $150—
possibly a little less. The railroad
fare would be $115. This club is com-
posed of twenty members and is with-
out doubt the best organization of its
kind in the state.
Mr. Foster, in his letter, stated lie
thought the admission of twenty-five
cents which the Commercial club pro-
posed to charge was entirely too low,
as the price always charged wherever
they gave a concert was fifty cents.
Several members of the club also
(bought that the proposed admission
is too low, but President Ballentine
explained that the idea was to make
this a community affair, and put the
price within the reach of everyone.
He stated that in his opinion the pa-
vilion could be filled for this concert
if the twenty-five cent admission was
charged.
The club voted unanimously to have
the directors make the necessary ar-
rangements with the Glee club tot

definite action will be taken this week.
As yet it is, of course, impossible to
say just when the concert can tm

ef the club was the industrial school
which is being conducted by Mrs.
Fred Lowe. Many were present Mon-
day night, who did not know that such
a school existed in Blackwell.
Mrs. Lowe is conducting a school

ed at the last meeting to take care
of the Uranian and Peckhain tele-
phone propositions reported that the
money had been raised and the due#
on t.he Braman line paid. The Peck-
ham proposition is conditional upon
the building of the line, and the mon-
ey raised is awaiting the action of
the Beckham people.
zThe good roads committee reported
the matter of sanding the streets had
been discussed with the city council
and that an experiment would be tried
on west Blackwell avenue, between
Second and Third streets. If after a
thorough trial this experiment prov-
ed satisfactory arrangements would
be made to carry out the plan on all
the streets whidh have any consid-
erable amount of traffic.
The matter of the milk condensing
plant was discussed at some length.
This is being handled in a systematic
manner by the board of directors and
as soon as all the information can be
gathered it will be tabulated and
placed with the proper authorities.
President Ballentine and Secretary
Jones are very much encouraged over
■ he results so far. The farmers seem
io be taking hold of the proposition in
dead earnest, and, of course, the final
success of the matter rests absolute-
ly on the farmers.
The secretary has been in communi-
cation with Claude Foster at Norman,
who Is a member of the University
Glee club, relative to getting the club
to come to Blackwell and give a
concert. A letter from Mr. Foster
was read in which he stated that they
has been bearing the eutire expense
herself.
A coin in ittee consisting of Messrs.
Hines, Ralston and Bellatti was ap-
pointed to look into the matter of suit-
able quarters and equipment for this
most worthy enterprise and the club
pledged its unanimous support.
The club after discussion voted
unanimously' to have the secretary
take up the matter of stocking our
streams with game fish, pike, pickerel,
bass, etc., with the governmental au-
thorities, to the extent that Kay
county get in on the next distribution
of such fish for Oklahoma. A small
planting of fish was made several
years ago and there is no good rea-
son why Kay county streams should
not be as well stocked as any in the
state.
Christian Church Reception
About four hundred members anu
friends attended the reception given
to the new members of the church
Friday evening. A splendid program,
consisting of songs and readings, was
given, which was highly appreciated
and enjoyed by all. After the pro-
gram, the new members and visitors,
as guests, were invited to repair to
the basement, where refreshments
were served. There was an abundance
for all, and everyone seemed to have
a fine time, and on the breaking up
of the reception many expressed a
wish that an event of this kind might
occur more often.

cards were printed this morning and
the following information is asked for

interested in this project should coiut

J, W. Morse was appointed a com-
mittee of one to select the medal to
be used in the great membership con-
test now being conducted by the Com-
mercial club members with Captain
Larkham and Captain Swaim in com-
mand of their respective armies.
The directors are planning to se-
cure the Oklahoma University Glee
club for an entertainment in the near
future, and an old fashioned box sup-
per will be held in the near future
in which the ladies of the city and
surrounding country will be asked to
prepare supper for two and place it
in a box, and after all are present and
the boxes turned over to the auction-
eer, they will be sold to the highest
bidder and the one purchasing the
box to eat supper with the owner of
the box. This has a two fold object.
One is to raise money for the club and
the other is to establish and main-
tain a more social relation or condi-
tion between all of us.
The band contract between the club
and Prof. Arthur Foster was approved
last night and as soon as the weather
permits the band concerts will be-
gin.
The entertainment committee are
opened with drill work by the Okla-
homa City, Tulsa, Ponca City, <'hau-

three years by the Bartlesville team,
and also for cash prizes by supreme
camp. The first prize, $10 and loving
cup, was awarded to Copan team. The
second to Ponca City and third to Ok-
lahoma City. Immediately following
the drill work for the prizes, which *
was greatly applauded by delegates,
and visitors, a class ot about 30 was
put through the initiatory work.
