HIGH SCHOOL HOLDING
POWER IS TRACED.
The “holding power" of the Sapulpa
high school is described In the fol-
lowing study made of high school
graduates. In 1921 It was found that
44 students received diplomas from
the Sapulpa high school. Tire federal
census of 1920 gave the population of
Sapulpa 11.634. In 1932. 11 years
later, 175 students graduated from
the Sapulpa high school.
The federal census of 1930 gave the
Population here as 10.533. Last year
there were 168 graduates and this
year there are already 163 scheduled
to receive diplomas at the end of the
school year. By next May this num-
ber will probably exceed the high
figure of 175 in 1931.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Oct. 21 (LP)—
Tioop movements at the state capi-
tol were foreshadowed again today
when Oov. w H Murray announced
he had written to Glenn O. Young,
Sapulpa, Instructing him to report
Oct. 28 for duty as secretary of the
school land department.
Murray announced, in a stormy
land commission session last Tues-
day. that he would appoint Young as
secretary under the special session
law that gave him power to name
the secretary and made him ex-
officio chairman.
Young was appointed to succeed
J. L. Carpenter, whom Murray's
enemies installed after ousting A L
Berkett, Ihe governor's firt appointee.
The new' law, in giving Murray tnrl
appointment of the secretary, also
provided this official could be re-
moved by majority vote of the com-
mission.
Carpenter heatedly refased to resign
in the battle this week. The com-
mission passed a resolution from
John Vaughan, state superintendent
and commission member, reaffirming
the Carpenter appointment. Murray
warned his opponents then that their
action constituted "criminal conspir-
acy to defeat the law" and that they
would have to take the consequences.
The governor refused today to dis-
close how he will force the commission
to accept Young, but expectations
were that another military executive
order was in the offing.
The governor said Young had writ-
ten him stating he was not particul-
arly anxious for the job, and in
reality did not want it, but that he
would serve It Murray wanted him to
do so.
The anti-Murray commissioners have
declared they will take the case to
the state supreme court to settle the
controversy. All of them confidently
expected a military order inasmuch
as Murray and the court are at log-
gerheads over the salary reduction
question.
Privately, they did not believe the
governor would appeal to the court
but would strike directly with nis
military arm, as on several previous
occasions.

SAPULPA TIES
CUSHING TEAM;
SCORE IS 0 TO 0
In the first night game for Sapulpa
high school this season at Cushing,
the Chieftains held their opponents
to a nothing to nothing tie last nlgnt
in the first northern conference game
Hundreds of Sapulpa fans witnessed
the game called at 8 o'clock last night.
Eapulpa opened the match kicking
off to Cushing. The locals with
their backs to the wind got .all a
good kick but a Cushing player made
a very good run. The first part of
this half was played in line plunges
At one time Sipulpa was only 15
yards from the goal but lost the ball
on downs.
In the closing seconds of the first
half, however, Cushing pushed the
pigskin down to the one foot line
Just as the whistle blew, ending the
first half of the game.
Few passes were used during the1
entire playing, both teams taking
more to end plays and line plunges.
A beautiful pass to Johnson over the
goal line proved unsuccessful. Fumb-
ling during the game let down the
interest for spectators.
Cushing, a fairly strong team, de-
feated Stillwater last week. The Still,
water team is one of the best In the
northern conference.
Monday, the Chieftains will meet
Cleveland for the first game between
the two teams in the history of the
school. The game is called at 3:30
o'clock and was re-set from Friday
to Monday because of the teachers'
meetings.

WASHINGTON COLLEGE. Ches-
tertown. Md., Oct 21. <IP>— President
Roosevelt today predicted national
economic recovery in a shorter time
than the "five or ten year plans of
dictatorship."
The president spoke at historic
Washington college where he received
honorary degree of doctors of laws
today.
"I believe," the president said, "in
this country, which has not got a dic-
tator, we can move further in a
shorter period without naming a
definite length of time."
The president whose speech was ex-
temporaneous, pleaded foj- coopera -
tion "in carrying forward a program
looking to national rehibilltation"
Dr. Gilbert Wilcox Mead was inau-
gurated as the 19th |Resident of the
college at the same exercises before a
distinguished audience which included,
besides the president, Oov. Albert
Ritchie of Maryland
Dr Meade place about Mr Roose-
velt's neck the purple stole denoting
the naw honorary degree.
"I do not thing," Mr, Roosevelt
said, "I could say anything that would
be adequate after the splendid word
from the new president of Washing-
ton college. He has spoken of today.
He has spoken of tomorrow. But In
coming here I cannot help but recall
the past.”
Mr Roosevelt then made a brief
appeal for cooperation, citing the dif-
ficulties that confronted Washington,
America’s first president, who was
the first person to receive the honor-
ary degree of doctor of laws from
this college
"If we could providg In this nation
for an adequate education for every-
one then the security of the country
would be safeguarded,” the president
said.
Today we are making many changes
in method and machinery of life. Not
only in government but tn every
phase But we are maintaining the old
princpUes of boyhood.
“There is a tendency to lose sight
of the forest for the trees. There is
a tendency to magnify the little
changes and forget the principle. We
have accomplished much in the last
few months. But at the same time,
we cannot obtain the goal in a few
months.
“Some countries which have a dic-
tatorship have a five or ten year plan
We have no dictatorship but I believe
we shall be able to reach our objec-
tives in a much shorter time.”
The president drove to the college
from the estate of Col. Hiram S.
Brown, five miles away on the Ches-
ter river. He reached that place
aboard his yacht Sequoia that sailed
last night from Annapolis.
As the conclusion of the college
ceremonies, he drove back to the
Brown home for luncheon. Later he
went aboard the Sequoia again for a
Chesapeake Bay cruise.
Dr. Mead, who spoke before Mr.
Roosevelt, praised the "new deal" of
the Washington administration and
added:
"We suffered from a ruthless Indi-
vidualism in which were the seeds of
Incalculable disaster. From this we
have been saved.”
A 21-gtm salute was fired by the
Maryland national guard at the open-
ing of the ceremonies.
The installation exercises took place
before the degree was conferred upon
Mr Roosevelt. The latter took his
place on the platform next to Gover-
nor Ritchie. They were surrounded by
representatives of 75 colleges and uni-
versities.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. 21. (LP)—

The girl was taken to the federal
building to testify against three men
on trial charged with harboring Kelly
and his wife, Kathryn.
On the trip from Chicago the gov
ernment, fearing gangland vengeance,
gave the girl an elaborate escort.
Dressed neatly, she chatted with
guards with th^ eagerness of a child
at a circus.
Taking every precaution to insure
the girl’s safety, agents formed a
hirmancordon around the vestibule of
the Pullman to decoy a group of news-
paper men away from the other end
where she left her car on the oppo-
site side of the track.
An automobile sped the girl away.
At the federal building the girl con-
sented to pose for a picture.
"Will you go away if I'll let you
take just one?" she said.
The photographers agreed and

Adequate Price Range
Sought by Organized
Agriculture in Mid-
West States Today.
WASHINGTON, Oct 21. (LP>—Gov-
ernment officials, from President
Roosevelt down, moved promptly to-
day to deal with the situation pre-
sented by the call for a national farm
strike.
While organizers sought 2,000.000
fanners to Join in a movement to
stop selling their products until prices
rise, developments came In rapid suc-
cession in Washington. They in-
cluded :
f. The president revealed negotia-
tions leading to resumption of diplo-
matic relations with Russia, calculated
to result in trade which would absorb
a substantial part of America's farm
surpluses.
2. Once discarded proposals for
NRA exemption of small town stores
where the farmers buy, were given
reconsideration as recovery officials
sought ways of meeting the farmers'
complaints that prices of what they
buy have risen out of proportion to
prices for the things they sell.
3. Donald Rlchborg, NRA counsel,
submitted to President Roosevelt a
revised draft of a retail code after
the farmers' complaints were offered
to.have doomed definitely a provision
which would forbid stores to sell any
goods at less than cost plus 10 per
cent. It was considered probable that
the code would simply forbid sales at
less than cost.
4 Members of the cabinet, and ot-
ficlais of the agricultural adjustment
administration and commodity cre-
dit corporation discussed the possi-
bility of extending to other commodi-
ties crop loans, now made only on
cotton. These loans would provide
immediate financial relief to farm-
ers who borrow and peg the price
of commodities at the figure fixed
as tlie loan value of the crop.
It was revealed, meantime, that
tomorrow night President Roosevelt
would deliver an address to the coun-
try. It was considered likely that he
would discuss the farm situation, and
reveal his decision on the retail code,
NRA exemptions for small-town stores
and |»eslbly government credit poli-
cies.
Recovery administrator Hugh 8.
Johnson made the characteristically
blunt formal statement that he did
"not see how NRA can do anything"
in regard to farm unrest, but con-
current NRA moves were viewed as
direct efforts to restrict retail price
increases against which farmers have
protested.
Johnson's statement was viewed as
concerning the blue eagle's .liability
to help the fanner directly, and thus
be classified as muddled situation
which came about when a delegation
of farm leaders demanded that an
NRA code for agriculture be promul-
gated.
"When everything is in full swing,"
Johnson said. "I am quite sure that
the fanners' discontent will vanish."
George N. Peek. AAA administrator
agreed with Johnson.
His associates intimated that Peek
and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
were considering several plans to
pump more cash to the farmers im-
mediately.
Prominent among the proposals was
one to loan money on wheat. This
plan had considerable support. An-
other plan to increase wheat process-
ing taxes was frowned upon. Stii'
another scheme concerned a program
to reduce the surplus of beef, through
a general met processing tax and a
concurrent reduction of production.
M1DDLEWEST IN THROES
OF FARM STRIKE.
CHICAGO, Oct 21. (LP)—Farmers
of the middleweat, desperate because
of failure of farm produce prices to
respond to the national recovery pro-
gram. struck today In an effort to
force federal relief.
Farm organizations claiming a
membership of 2,000,000 farmers in 27
states railed on their members to
halt move of livestock and food to
market and to boycott merchants until
farm prices reach cost of production.
The declaration of “economic war-
fare" was Issued by Milo Reno, mili-
tant president of the National Farm-
ers' Holiday association, effective at
noon today and to continue until
farmers receive a "fair price" for the
products.
R L. Rickerd, president of the
Farmers’ Holiday association in Okla-
homa, called on Sooner state farm-
ers to Join the strike today. County
leaders made plans to carry out his
appeal.
Opinion as to the support winch
the movement will receive from the
great majority of farmers not affiliat-
ed with the association differed.
Leaders of other organizations, be-
lieving in more conservative action,
withheld comment.

attention lo the plight of farmers
