in explaining the reason tor tlie
above warning mid statements. Judge
Miller said so many inquiries are now
being made regarding matters con-
nected witli tim expenditures of public
funds by Ihe various officers and es-
pecially by boards <»f education and
school boards.
Tin matter is of such public inter-
est. Judge Miller declared, that atten-
tion should be called to the following
provisions of (lie laws of Oklahoma,
governing sucii matters. Section 8638
of tlie Compiled Laws of Oklahoma.
1921. page 2913, reads as follows.
“8638. Allowing bills in excess—
liability of officers, it shall be un-
lawful for tlie board of County Com-
missioners. the city council or the
commissioners of any city, the trustees
of any town, board of education, town
ship board, school district board or
any member or members of tlie afore-
said commissioners, or of any of the
above named boards, to make any con-
tract for, incur, acknowledge1, approve,
allow or authorize any indebtedness
against their respective municipality
or authorize it to be done by others,
in excess of the estimate made and
approved by tlie excise board for such
purpose for such current fiscal year,
or in excess of the specific amount
authorized for such purpose by a bond
issue. Any such indebtedness, con-
tracts incurred, acknowledged, ap-
proved. allowed or authorized in ex-
cess of the estimate made and ap-
proved for sucii purposes for such
current fiscal.year or in excess of the
specific amount authorized for such
purpose by a bond issue, shall not be
a charge against the municipality
whose officer or officers contracted,
incurred, acknowledged, approved, al-
lowed or authorized or attested the
evidence of said indebtedness, but may
be collected by civil action from any
official contracting, incurring, ac-
knowledging, approving or authoriz-
ing or attesting such indebtedness, or
from his bondsmen.”
And section 8639, found on the
same page reads as follows:
“S639. Violations—punishment. Any
officer contracting, incurring, ac-
knowledging. authorizing, allowing or
approving any indebtedness, or any of-
ficer issuing, drawing, or attesting
any warrant or certificate of indebted-
ness in excess of the estimate made
and approved by the excise Board for
such purpose for such current fiscal
year or in excess of the specific
amount authorized for such purpose
by a bond issue, or who violates any
other provision of this Act shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction shall be fined not lees
than one hundred dollars or more
than one thousand dollars, and shall
forfeit and be removed from his of-
fice."
Judge Miller especially urged that
“all public officers refrain from ex-
ceeding in any item of expense the
estimate therefore allowed and ap-
; proved by the connyt excise board.

Dear Santa:
1 am a little girl eight years old and have a little sister three
years old, but 1 don't have any brother.
We live with our mamma and daddy and 1 go to school.
I’m in the third grade and like my teacher just fine.
Santa, I’d love for you to bring little sister a sleeping
with real hair from the Loy Hardware, mamma a purse from
Lillie’s Drug Store and a cedar chest from the Cotteral Furni-
ture Company. For daddy a radio from Carey’s so that we can
hear nice bed time stories.
Also he would like a billfold from Wolgamot Drug Store.
My Sunday school teacher would like a locked diary. For
me just a doll and some candy’ and nuts. I guess that will be all
for this year.

greatest trades day event held since
inauguration of the program, was ex-
pressed by officials Thursday.
The farmers’ auction, a vital part
of the plan, is expected to pass the
$2:>00 mark. All but a small portion
of this goes to farmers and others
offering merchandise for sale at the
auction.
Improvements have been made at
the fairgrounds, since the last trades
day, which will facilitate the handling
of stock, according to Loren Hutchins,
trades day manager. A number of
new pens have been built for hogs,
and new runways built.
Over 100 head of stock have already
been listed for sale, as well as a good
quantity of farm machinery, house-
hold goods and other miscellaneous
items.
Hutchins said a special demand for
mules would be shown at the trades
day here. January 6. Buyers are
wanting fat mules of any age.

Interest in the welfare and future tl,is
prosperity of farmers of Logan county
was evinced by Guthrie business men
in written plans submitted to the Pro-
ject and Policy committee of the
Guthrie Chamber of Commerce Wed-
nesday.
The suggestions were submitted at
the close of tlie monthly membership
meeting at the Ione Hotel.
Outstanding among the suggestions
of 50 members was the desire “to
establish better relations between
people and institutions of Guthrie and
farmers and citizens of adjacent com-
munities.”
One concrete plan was to "make a
defnite move toward further improve-
ment of roads leading trem farm cen-
ters into Guthrie and betterment oL arckitect and contractor,

Among the other suggestions, busi-1
ness men pointed out they would like
something done along the following
lines:

In the past we have been satisfied to let a few leaders do all
the work, carrv out their own programs, and we failed to care
particularly whether that program would react to the betterment
of Guthrie' as a whole. If the program brought in a few more
dollars to our own little institutions we were satisfied. We have
failed to look ahead and see that men and institutions grow and
expand with the communities in which they live.
