GORE STRENGTiF CAN
NOT BE FOUND, SAYS
Ferris Is Running Strong In Every
Part of State Regardless of Ru-
mors to the Contrary.
That Thomas P. Gore. Oklahoma's
junior senator, will receive as big a
surprise when the returns are in as
Joe Bailey did in Texas, was the
statement Wednesday morning of A.
F. Howe, an inspector for the state
board of agriculture, who is travel-
ing over the state and who was here
a short while.
"I have been hearing of Gore's
great strength in some parts of the
state," he said, "but I failed to find
any locality where Gore is held in
favor. Farmers who are said to be
Gore's main strength and hope for
election and who are outspoken for
him, and few and far between. The
Gore bogey is thoroughly intangible
if careful search is made for it."
The monthly meeting of the Cleve-
land County Poultiy association will
be held at the court house tonight at
8 o'clock according to W. L. Gibbs,
secretary.

NORMAN'S FATE HANGS IN BALANCE
Tomorrow will afford Norman her last chance to obtain
the federal cotton classer. Delegates from the farmer s unions
from over the county will meet at Noble, and when this meet
ing has adjourned the location of the classer will have been
definitely decided.
I'"arm papers and journals have been full uf the cotton
classer activities for manv weeks. 1 his weeks Oklahoma
Farmer contains a very instructive report on the Cotton Grow-
ers' association which, in a way, is connected with the classer
movement. 1 says the time is coming when the farmer will
receive the right grade and the proper price for every pound of
cotton, and it will be accomplished by co-operation.
Farmers everywhere are supporting this new departure of
the government. They are seeing the advantags of having an
expert grader who can tell them the grade of their cotton.
And the farmers' being organized, are starting out in this
county to get their dues, to get what is coming to them for
their cotton.
Noble practically has the classer cinched. But Norman
has a long chance, and the Chamber of Commerce committee
which attends the meeting at Noble tomorrow, should Bee that
the opportunity, if it arises, is taken.
If Norman never attempts to do anything to help the farm-
;r, it will never do anything. If Norman will bring the classer
to the county and locate him here, we will be showing the farm-
ers that we are doing what we can to benefit the cotton mar-
ket for them.

HARD FOUGHT GAME
UNTIL SEVENTH IN
BATTLE YESTERDAY
An endorsed draft for $281.90 was
stolen from little Elsie Young, aged
twelve, while waiting with several
men for the Security State bank to
open this morning, according to re-
ports from various sources.
A little • irl was crving as she came
down to the bank about 9 o'clock. She
told a confused story of having felt a
pull on the thumb wit hwhich she
clamped the draft on top of a pack-
age that she was carrying, R. VV.
Hutto said. He thought it probable
that she had lost it and imagined the
rest of the story about having felt
something slip under her hand.
W. A. Young, father of the little
girl who endorsed the draft and sent
her to the bank with it, is advertising
in this issue for a "lady's purse con-
tainine a draft and bank book." He
evidently hoped that it had been lost
instead of stolen, as the child declar-
ed.
Did Not Have Purse.
The draft was not in a pocketbook
or purse, as Chief of Police H. L.
Sanderson understood the story of
Elsie Young. She had it in her hands,
held on some bundle, and lie thought
he remembered seeing the colored
paper of it as she passed him on the
street this morning on her way to
deposit it. It might have been some-
thing else, entirely different, however,
for he did not observe closely, he ad-
mitted.
The draft by the First National
bank of St. Ann, III., payable to and

PITAL TOMORROW. IS AC-

Parks Kooken returned Saturday
from Temple, Texas, where he spent

man visitor Friday.

Accidental discharge of a high-
power .22 rifle, lodging the bullet in
his skull just back of th? left eve, hit
left Henry Blair, aged IS, living sev-
en miles east of Noble in a very criti-
cal condition since Wednesday when
the accident occurred in his father's
house, according to Tom Cheat wood,
county attorney.
Entering the right side of his nose
and passing upward, it is thought
that the bullet lodged in the bony
structure of the skull back of the 'eft
eye, although no thorough examina-
tion has been made yet on account
of his serious condition. Blair will
be moved to an Oklahoma City hos-
pital tomorrow for the operation nec-
essary to remove it, if Dr. Nathan
Howell of Noble thinks he is strong
enough to undergo the trip.
The boy was unconscious for twen-
ty-four hours or longer and recover-
ed only enough yesterday to recog-
nize members of the family but
couldn't explain how the gun ( was
fired.
Had Been Practicing.
The "men folks" had been shooting
at a target in the yard during the
noon hour and the supposition is that
the rifle had been cocked to shoot at
the target and not fired but set in
the corner by one of the younger boys
when dinner was callcd.
Others left for the fields after din-
and the discharge aroused his
from an after-dinner
nap and rushed into the other rootn
on hearing him fall
Henry was presumably picking up
the cocked gun when it jarred ot£
with such disastrous results. No-
endorsed by Wm. A. Young, was I
drawn probably on the Continental [
and Commercial bank of Chicago, al- j "js'ter N
though this point is net certain. Pay- |
ment has been stopped by * wiring i
those banks and Eugene Guram at Ok- j

quarters in Oklahoma City to notify I
all banks in this and adjoining states, ,.
Hutto stated. I bod>' was present at the time so tin,

tended to go rabbit shooting on
horseback that afternoon because he
said he could approach them more
easily in that way.
Tom Cheatwood, county atorney,
heard of the accident and went to in-
vestigate yesterday so that there could
be no shadow of douht about its being
an accident.
