HUGOAN8 WILL FACE THAT TO-
TAL TAX RATE FOR THE COM.
INO PAYMENT SEASON
Rate Corresponds With That of Oth-
er Cities of Similar Size in Tills
Section of 8tate
The total taxes to be paid by resi-
dents of Hugo for the comii£ )ear
will be thirty-six and a quarter in'lis.
The Btate tax is higher ihu.i ever,
the board having ordered a three and
a half mill tax, and the school taxes
for the thirty-ninth district arc- nine
mills direct and one and a h.iif mills
on the school bond payment.
The assessment for the county and
schools are all high, but computed
with other counties of this section of
the state, Choctaw is lower than in
the majority of counties. The tax
burden falls heaviest on Hugo, where
the city taxes are higher thvi .n the
smaller cities and towns of the coun
ty-
The levy total for the ci\v and
school district of Hugo meets that of
Durant, there being only a friction o
e. mill's difference between me two
cities, with about the same amount
of public Improvement to show for
the cause

BIG RETURNS IN ALFALFA
Oklahoma Farmer Expect; to Clear
$75 an Acre on Season s Yield
Mr. and Mrs. E. M. TXirhnu and
daughter moved from Grant yester-
day to their home 802 East Jackson,
this city.
OKLAHOMA CITT. Aug. H.-One
cf the best alfalfa stories of the sea-
son is that coming from Pottawato-
mie county. Ewers White, former
member of the board of agriculture,
and considered one of the mcst pro-
gressive farmers in the state has
just finished harvesting his seed crop
of alfalfa. He has 900 bush-jig of seed
from his 130-acre farm. The seed at
present is worth about $S a bushel,
tut in the winter and later in the
spring .it will g0 to $10 and nossibly
$12 a bushel. Several hay -ro,)s have
been selling for $8 a ton. The straw
left from the seed is also valuable
for feeding .when mixed with other
feed. Aside from the value of the
seed .the hay will bring a large re-
turn. and takeu altogether Mr. White
will realize from his 130-acre farm
nc t les sthan an average of $75 an
acre. That it pays to grow alfalfa is
being demonstrated every yer r in Ok-
lahoma.
Will Pay No Attention to Books Un-
der New Contract Until Court Has
Made Decision
County Superintendent J. T. Reed
has settled the school book squabble
for the time being insofar as it per-
kins to Choctaw county ,by issuance
of an order to use the same books as
have been in vogue for the rast five
rears. The schools will open without
laying attention to the ner, books
which have been supplied the Oklaho-
ma Book company by the book c->n-
cerns which secured the contract
from the school board whjoh « ent out
of existence immediately following
- e making of the contract in 1912.
#ft wiH be Walled that the quMtiou
c« the text book contract is before
the supreme court .with S=ate Su-
perintendent Wilson under opinion
that the new contract is in foice, and
Governor Cruce as strongly of opin-
ion that the contract is void.
To complicate matters Lieutenant-
Governor McAlester, during the ab-
sence of Governor Cruce from the
state, withdrew gubernatorial opposi-
tion to the new contract, whereupon
t e book concern commenced ship-
Ping their new textbooks to the Ok
lahoma City supply house, an* county
superintendents were notified of the
change of books being ready.
Superintendent Reed had to take
action, as the time for the opening of
the Choctaw county schools is next
month .and Mr. Reed has authorized
their opening with the old 1908 con-
tract books and same will be used un-
til such time as the court has issued
its decree relative to the schnol book
muddle.
State Superintendent Wilson has
issued a statement to effect that
there will be no way of getting sup-
Plies for the old books .as .he con-
tract is out and there h„ been no
order issued for renewal. Be that as
it may the majority of superintend-
■ ts in the various counties will Ke
ahead with the o.d books and await
the decision of the state supreme
court before Issuing an order f0r a
change.
