The case of the Pioneer Cotton Mills
versus the county—a suit over the
attempted collection of taxes that have
been considered exempt began in dis-
trict court today. It is expected that
Judge Smith wil take the case under
advisement and will not render a de-
cision for several days.
Under a state law, The Pioneer Cot-
ton Milla have been exempt from taxes
since their establishment here.
Declaring it to be special legisla-
tion and therefore unconstitutional,
the Logan county tax ferret turned the
matter to the county, declaring the
taxes on the mills to be due and de-

LARGEST ABSTRACT IN COUNTY
What is Mid to be the largest ab-
stract ever made in Logan County
waa recently finished by the Jelsma
Abstract Co. It was on l«0 acres and
consisted of 175 typewritten pages.
The cost wm 1132.50.
An old bachelor who lives north of
Guthrie was standing in the corri-
dor at the federal building in Okla-
homa City.
Bobby Crane, a witness, began talk-
ing to him and found out the old man
waa tired of living alone and that he
hoped to marry a woman with some
money.
“Why, I can get a woman here
that'll marry you," Bobby told the old
bachelor.
Bobby walked down the corridor
and found an Oaage Indian woman
who has been sentenced to serve six
months in the federal penitentiary on
a whisky charge.
“I can live in peace with any wom-
an and I am a church member and
go to Sunday school every Sunday,”
the old bachelor said.
"That's lust toe," said Bobby, “for
thw woman is inclined to be a little
bit wild and she needs someone to
tame her down a little.”
So they were introduced.
He proposed. She declined,
that's the end of this story.

largest crowds ever assembled here.
During the four days session, de-
crees were conferred on 236 candi-
dates, representing every section ot
the state. For the first time in the
history of the Oklahoma consistory

noon. 'I he Hominy teirtn conferred

ment programs was given Wednes-
day evening with the introduction of
several professional vaudeville teams.

Oklahoma's noted humorist, gave sev-
eral of his inimitable impersonations
and readings.
