TULSA MAN HEADS PRESSMEN;
ARDMORE GETS NEXT MEET
Oklahoma City. Jan. l.-Jameg A.
Dodd of Tulsa was elected president
of the Oklahoma Stale League of
Printing Pressmen and Assistants'
union here Sunday at a meeting in
which nearly ail of the larger towns
of the state were represented. Jesse
L. Green. Oklahoma City was elected
vice-president and Frank Walker of
Stillwater secretary-treasurer. Ard-
more was chosen as the city for the
next meeting which will be held in
January of next year. The organiza-
tion will endeavor to persuade Okla-
homa bankers and other business
meu to have their printing and en-

COMMISSIONERS HAVE A PLAN
WHICH THEY BELIEVE WILL
"V(o; !..) v 'orPO8lTI0N TO
Commissioner James U. Taliaferro
has a plan which he is going to sub-
mit to the board relative to a county
farm for the. poor and infirm of the
county not an elaborate affair like
the one just disposed of but along
conservative lines along a plan that
he ' has worked out which at least
looks good on 'paper and will cost
comparatively little to what the for-
mer venture did.
. Mr. Taliaferro-wanld purchase a
tract of land close to the city of not
more than twenty acres accessible
to all county officials and especially
to the county physician who would
be charged with the duty of looking
after the health of the Inmates; erect
thereon a home for the keeper of
the farm and a number of small
comfortable houses for the accommo-
dation of the inmates and on this
farm he would raise such stuff as
to make it practically self-sustaining.
In this manner he believes that a
farm of this kind would in a great
measure relieve the work now being
done by voluntary charity and
would furnish a retuge for the old
and infirm of the . county who are
often neglected because there is no
one to take care of them and no
Institution in which to place them.
At every session of the board of
county commissioners they are be-
sieged with applications for assist-
ance. The amount of money that it
costs the county every year would
more than pay for a farm and Im-
provements of the character he pro-
poses and he says had they such
a place the able-bodied would be
compelled to earn their keep on the
farm or garden and assist themselv-
es in a measure. Mr. Taliaferro
says this question of caring for the
aged is getting to be a serious one
with the county commissioners and
some means must be devised before
long to handle it properly. Yesterday
they allowed a claim for $!iu.0'i for
an oeratioii performed upon an aged
sufferer besides paying $20 per
month for his keep for some time
past and he is not the only one by
any moan.
The matter will probably be
brought up before the board adjourns
this afternoon and preliminary steps
taken ill the matter.
