THE OKEENE LEADER
Vol. 6.
Okeene, Oklahoma, Friday, June 7, 1912.
Number 47.
THIRD ANNUAL
COMMENCEMENT
Monday evening at the opera
house our people witnessed one
of trhe most brilliant entertain*
ment ever seen in Okeene—the
Third Annual Commencement ex
ercises of the pupils of St. Mary’s
Institute.
The rendition of the various
numbers and the entertrinment
as a whole rellected great credit
on the corps ol insturotors who
have worked with the pupils so
faithfully. The musical part of
the entertainment was furnished
by the students and their work
was beyond criticism. Besides
displaying real ability, they show *
ed areal grasp of the subject
which ‘“hath power the savage
breast to charm ”
What was perhaps the two most
enjoyable numbers on the pro-
gram to the audience was the two
act sketch ‘-Fine Feathers Do
Not Make Fine Birds” and the
“Kitchen Symphony”, the lat-
ter by the Seniors Domestic
Science Club.
NEW SCHOOL

tinclion of being the tirst Okla-

surer of its school board. At
the school election Tuesday af-
ternoon. Mrs. Marion .). Dode

KILLED DOG AND
STOLE CHICKENS
Y. P. B. PROGRAM
ON JUNE 18
Some time during Monday
night one or more persons ap
proaclud the Anton Gruber
home a mile west of town, man-
aged m some way to approach
within striking distance of the
big black collie dog, widen they
killed with a club and then pro*
ceeded to take about 50 head of
chickens from the roost.
Mr. Gruber has no idea who
the thieves were. We are in-
formed that various other petty
robberies have occured hi and
around Okeene in the past few
weeks and this leads to the be-
lief that the same parties are re*
sponsible for all of them. This
however was the boldest case so
tar on record. It .s to be hoped
that Uie officers will be able to
apprehend the guilty parties.
The Young People's Branch of
tho W. C. T. U. met at the M. E.
church ,ast Tuesday night. An
interesting meeting was held and
plans laid for future work.
The next meeting will be held
at the Baptist church, June 18
at 8 p. in., and the following car.

We wish to call the attention
of the motorcycle contestants to
the fact that, one contestant, No,
13, seems to be getting a consi
de ruble lead. No. 55 also seems
to be drawing from the field. Of
course the lead these two have is
comparatively small and might
be overcome in a single day by
any other contestants; at the
same time we would advise that
the others put on a little more
steam and keep close to the lead,
ers so that when the lime comes
for Jie final spurt it wont take
such-desperate work to keep you
close to the front.
The Leader is offering some
of the candidates an easy way to
overtake the leaders in one jump
With each hv§ years subscrip*
tion paid in cash during the
month of June we are going to
give 25,000 votes. This counts
for new or renewals and you can
divide it and send it to five peo-
ple for one year each or one per-
son for five years—any way you
like. The point is that we give
25,000 votes for every 15 paid us
on subscription this month.
There is only one condition—it
must all be paid at once and in
