'COTTON IS KING."
Miss Nettie an 1 Willa Davas
trer took supper with Essie and
Myrtle Price Sunday evening.
In this country of ours where
cotton is the gn at king of pio-
ducts it is astonishing to find
the number of people who are
relatively ignorant of it's value
and how to secure that value.
Million of dollars are made
every year on cotton,but strange
as it may 6eem the men who
make these enormous sums
hardly ever enter the cotton
field and many of them never
gaw a cotton field at picking
time. They are men who know
thec'ass'ficaticns and grades of
cotton and are on to the secrets
of it's value through distribution
to market?.
Million of dol.ars are also lost
every year by the men who pro-
duce cotton, for the simple
reason that they cannot maikei
it intelligently.
As a farmer what would it be
worth to know next Fall that
you will not have to depend up*
on the professional buyer to t« 11
you what youi cotton is worth?
As a business man who has
to take a certain amount of this
product in on your accounts
every year, how much would it
be worth to you to be able to
buy this cotton as intelligently
as you do the remainder of your
buying#
As a young man preparing to
enter the Commerce what field
offers a more attractive induce
ment than the buying and sell-
ing of "King Cotton.
The opportunity that you
have long looked for is now at
hand. This Summer Mr. L. A.
Kennedy of Sunset, Texas, a
cotton expert will open a cotton
School in Lawton, Okta., June
12th, 1916. The School will be
conducted under the manage-
ment of the Metropolitan Com-
mercial College and our guaran-
tee of Mr. Kennedy's ability to
successfully perform his work
is this:
After attending the School, you
leel that you have not gotten all
that you paid for and more,
your money will be refunded
Is this not a fair offer? Then
come, for surely such an oppor-
tunity is worth six weeks of
your time and a negligible
amount of money.

The Ledger is authorized to
announce Clifton W. Simpsoi*
as a candidate for Court Clerk
of Comanche county subject to
the democratic primary next
August.
Clifton W. Simpson is an old
resident of Comanche County,
Oklahoma, having lived in Law-
ton for more than eleven years,
the greater part of which tune
he has been in the grocery busi-
ness at the corner of Fouith
street and E avenue, excep' the
past year, he has been a fu-ld
worker for the southwestern
district for the Woodmen of the
World.
Clifton W. Simpson was born
and raised in Greenville, T
and has always been a d^ mo-
cr&t and worked and supported
I the democratic piinciples ever
! since be has been old enough to
vote. He is a graduate ft om one
of the leading business colleges
of the south and served in the
capacity of bcokkoeping for a
grocery firm and a large cotton
concern for more than five years
As a business man in the city
of Lawton, we can only say
that he has made a succ ss of
his own business and this speaks
much for him in the handling
of the people's business.
Two years ago Clifton W.
Simpson was a candidate in the
primary for Court Clerk and
madea splendid race, and which
resulted in a contest in the court
caused by the disappearance of
ballots of the Zella Box, Mr.
Simpson lost out in the court,
on account of the disappearance
of ballots.
Mr. Simpson again becomes a
candidate for the same position
and submits his claims to the
voters for that important posi-
tion.
Wonder why Floyd likes to
go out east? Guess he likes to
help Florence carry the chair
home.
