; mont from the state entomologist as
oity sprayer, with instructions to
! spray all fruit trees and bushes in
and around Tahlequah against the
San Jose scale, which is prevalent
over the state and which the authori-

He is ordered to proceed at once
with the work. E. W. Stafford, dep-
uty state entymologist, will be in
Tahlequah this week to arrange for
the spraying of all fruit trees and
bushes in the county. In his commu-
nication to Mr. Meyers he says there
will be enough work in Cherokee
county to keep a half dozen spraying
outfits busy untall spring.
The spraying will be done at a
nominal cost and it will be much
cheaper for the average person who
only has a limited number of trees
to "let the state do the spraying, as
the cost of an apparatus Is consid-
erable.
Parties wishing to contract to do
spraying should call on or address

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 26.—
Representative Oscar W. Underwood
of Alabama, majority leader of the
house, Saturday was formally enter-
ed in the race for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency. Sen-
ator Bankhead, in making the an-
nouncement, also stated the opening
of Underwood headquarters in this
city, t
Mr. Banklieud will act us chairman
of the Underwood movement and as
his manager. The statement fol-
lows:
"To set at rest any quostion in
he public mind as to the actual
candidacy of Representative Under-
wood of Alabama, I desire to say that
all we are doing in his behalf has
his full and lietarty concurrence. He
Is a candidate and is in the race not
only to win the nomination, but al-
so for the election in November."
The Underwood headquarters an'
situated in the Woodward office
building in the upper port of the
business section. Desks, tables and
other office fixtures have been in-
stalled.
"Headquarters will be conducted."
announced the Bankhead statement,
"in a strictly systematic and busi-
ness like way, with as much regard
for detail as is exercised by the most
complex and minutely organized bus-
iness concern. Every moment of the
day will be filled with zealous acti\-
ities, carried on by my enthusiastic
and trained assistants.
"I wish the people of the country
to know that wo expect to go in on
the strength of our candidate, his
high character, his well tried lead-
ership, his perfect sanity and poi^e
and his fidelity, both to his friend-
ships and also to the grei.t and time
honored principles of the Democratic
party. If we are unable to win, save
through anonymous and unsigned at-
tacks on other candidates, then v e
don't expect, or even care, to wlii.
Indeed, under such circumstances,
we do, It will never be forgotten
that there is a certain comity due
between candidates of the same party
and after tho nomination we must
be in position to fight a common po-
litical enemy."
