STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
NOBLE CALLS ATTENTION TO
LICENSE LAW AND TAGGING
THE PENALTY. '
Oklahoma City Aug. 23 Warning
directed to auto owners of the state
and especially to those living in Ok-
lahoma City was sent out from the
office of State Highway Commissioner
George Nobie rnsay.
Mr. Noble calls attent'on to the
fact that all persons owning auto-
mobiles for which licence has not
leen issued and that are not prop-
erly tagged will be subject to a fine
not to exceed $2."). on and after Sep-
tember 1. The highway commissioner
states that he has received assur-
ances from the county officers over
the state that the new law is to be
rigidly enforced and advises auto-
mobilises to get busy.
"There are In Oklahoma City prob
ably .101) or lino cars that have not
been registered" said Mr. Noble Fri-
day. "These people possibly think
that because they live hen. they can
put this matter off .until the last day
and then come in and their ma-
chines registered and procure tags.
This is the very thing I want to re-
mind them of. If everyone waits
until the eleventh hour this oflice
will be so swamped with applications
that it will he impossible for the force
to handle the situation. I would be
glad if they would make application
at once for by so doin it will in-
sure them against havi-.i.; to pay a
penalty and will tend to lessen the
heavy work of the depa-tnient that
will necessarily follow if they put it
off."
I'p until the present time not more
than half the cars in tlu state have j
been registered accordin ; to Com-1
missioner Noble. Oh the records in j
his office there are accounted for
about 13000 automobile? jOO motor-
cycles and 100 traction engines. It
is estimatd that there p.te in Okla-
homa betw een 22500 and 2.1.000 motor
cars.
Friday about COO applications for
registration were received at the of-
fice coming from all sections of the
state. Checks accompanying the ap-
plications ranged anywhere from 4.50
to $12 according to the horsepower
of the car. Considerable trouble has
been occasioned on account of the
applicants failing to fill out the blanks
properly and in numerous instances
they have to be returned for cor-
rection. In one case a blank was
sent back five times before it was
In the proper shape.
Mr. Noble stated Friday that as yet
he had been unable to get an opinion
from the attorney general's office as
to the horse power of electric motor
vehicles and that he was not in a
position to answer inquiries as to
the cost of registration of that char-
acter of cars.
Calling at the highway commission-
er's office Friday was Cyvus Avery of
Tulsa an ardent good reads booster
and one of the men that pushed the
passage of the good roads law in the
last legislature. He is chairman of
the county commissioners In Tulsa
county.
Speaking of the automobile tax Mr.
Avery said that no city should object
to the money derived from the license
sale going into the county fund for
the maintenance of roads. He claims
that on the other hand Municipalities
should encourage the building of
highways in this manner for in the
end the citizens will benefit in a
business way by the increased number
of people that the better roads will
attract.
In Tulsa there is TI3 disposition
on the part of the city officials to
fight good roads Mr. Avery said
and added that the casa recently
brought to the supreme court from
that city was merely to tt the pro-
visions of the peculiar form of char-
ter in force there rel.it.ive to the
right of the city to charge an auto-
mobile license fee in addition to the
state tax.

WHY ARDMORE SHOULD HAVE
A CO-OPERATIVE CREAMERY
Yes We Have It
And we honestly believe that
Ha7 Tonic

6O0 a bottle. Sold only by us.
Ringer Drug Co.
The dairy cow has brought pros-
perity to more farms than any other
one thing.
We cannot increase our dairy herds
here without first furnishing a mar
ket for the cream.
A co-operative creamery will furnish
tills market.
The south is the best market for
the finished product and we could not
have any difficulty in disposing of
that.
Take the southern market away
from the northern creameries and they
will soon have to go out of business.
On account of our long growing sea-
son our mild short winters and our
facilities for growing cheaply the
I most of the necessary feed we are
I better suited for the dairy business
I than the north. The highest-priced
1 farm land In the United States Is used
for dairy farming and It not only pays
interest on the investment but pays
a handsome profit besides.
We have thousands of acres of land
in this county that should be put In
grass and grazed with dairy cattle
then. Instead of bing the waste places
they would soon become the most
profitable lands we have. A few dairy-
cows will put the cotton farmer on a
ca?h basis and then when he produces
a bale of cotton it will belong to him
exclusively and lie will he In a posi-
tion to lay it away in the barn and
keep it until the price suits him to
sell.
With a successful co-operative
creamery located here and a few thou-
sand dairy cows scattered about over
our county we will soon begin to en-
joy that boasted prosperity that we
have talked about so much in the
past but have never realized.

FARMER MAKES LIVING
ON EIGHT ACRES OF LAND
Ada. Okla.. Aug. 23. At least one
farmer in Pontotoc county has become
an intensfve rather than au extensive
farmer. This is Charles Phillips of
Lola. Mr. Phillips this year has only
eight acres in cultivation but he Is
making more money than many others
who have large farms. He planted one
acre in popcorn and has gathered
more than sixty bushels from the acre.
He planted a half acre In Irish pota-
toes and has dug from fifty to sixty
bushels and will get another crop from
the same land in the fall. He has one
acre In California wheat from which
he says he will get about one hundred
bushels. Another acre is in sweet po-
tatoes and another In Sudan grass. The
grass is from seven to ten feet high.
The seed will be sold to other farmers
wanting to sow Sudan grass. The rest
of the crop consist of kafir feterita
sweet corn crossed with field corn
cane and garden vegetables.
Mr. Phillips believes that he has
struck on a good plan. Many of his
neighbors said he would not make a
living but he will clear more money
than many of them who laughed at
him. Other farmers In that neighbor-
hood are expected to follow Mr. Phil-
lips' example.
Mr. Phillips also has a good bunch
of hogs a big flock of chickens and
plenty of feed to take them through
the winter.
