Now t' St the movement is launch-
ed upon a systematic basis for dispen-
sing chnrity in Hartshorne, it de-
volves upon cach and every citizen
of the town to lend every aid pos-
sible to the i id that the association
be successful in carrying out its
plans. By this means the really
needy and d (serving will be taken
care of thr<v'.gh the association a
.should b\ I i/estigation wi'.l be made
into reported eases, the needy sought
out and succor extended, and little if
any funds diverted to unworthy caus-
es through imposition of impostors,
and thus the same amount of money
dispursed th. augh this channel can
be made to go further and accom-
plish greater good.
This is a very important meeting to
the farmers of this vicinity and every
me who can should be present at this
meeting and enter enthusiastically in-
to the movement for better farming
and take definite steps looking to
the matter of raising a greater var-
iety of stuff for exhibit purposes at
the fair this fall.
The quality of exhibits at the
township fair last season was second
to none, but lacked variety, and here-
in lay Dow township's weak point in
the contest for first awards at the
county far.
Preparedness is the watch word,
hence NOW is the time to prepare.
Remember the day and date and
the place—Hartshorrfe, Saturday,
February 19, and be here at 1 o'clock
at the City Hall.

from it's parent stem;
She tlied in beauty, like a pearl drop-
ped from some diadem;
She died in beauty, like a lay along
a moon lit lake;
She died in beauty, like the song of
birds amid the brake;
She died in beauty, like the snow on
flowers dissolved away;
She died in beauty, like a star lost
on the brow of day.
She lives in glory, like night's gems

SCHOOL NOTES

able weather of the month vhat has
just past, the attendance record, in a
few cases, fell beluw that of the pie-
ceding months. However, these con-
ditions have not apparently effect-
ed either the quality or the qjnntity
of school work done during this time.

"Our rooms will be at the disposal
of all visiting Methodists in this city,"

of the headquarters. "This is the
first experiment of this kind, but it
seems to us to be very wise and that
there will be popularity for it is like-
ly. One room will be set aside as a
rest room and information heeidquart-
ers. Visitors may leave their pack-
ages there and otherwise make them-
selves at home."

PROGRESSIVE CLUB.
COAL TOWNS TO MEET
IN MOLESTER THURSDAY
Disposition of Mineral Deposits
Be Discussed. Big Crowd
Expected.
Every coal town in the segregate
area of the Choctaw nation is ex-
pected to send representatives to
the mass meeting of citizens to be
held in McAlester Thursday for the
purpose of discussing a plan of cam-
paign for legislation looking to the
final disposition of the mineral depos-
its belonging to the Indians,
This is the most important meet-
ing scheduled to take place in some
moons, and assurance has been given
that a large number of representa-
tives from towns interested will parti-
cipate. Some twenty-five or thiity
towns are included in this list.
The meeting has been called for
2:30 in the afternoon today, Thurs-
day, to be held in the Commercial
club rooms.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Under
the leadership of Congressman
Charles I). Carter, his amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill for a
per capita payment for $300 to the
('hoctaws and $200 to the Chicka-
saws, was adopted by the house in
committee of the whole late Satur-
day by an overwhelming and decisive
vote.
The Harrison amendment for re-
opening the Choctaw-Chickasaw rolls
to the Mississippi Choctaws was de-
feated by a vote of 117 to 87.
Congressman Hastings and Murray
favored the Carter amendments in
speeches of 30 minutes each under
general debate after Mr. Carter had
(pened the discussion in favor of the
payment with 25 minutes' time.
Congressmen Thompson and Morgan
made appeals for the payment under
the five-minute rule and Congress-
man Ferris closed the Oklahoma side
of the argument with 25 minutes.
The other two Oklahoma congress-
men, Davenport and McGlintic, gave
valuable assistance for the amend-
ment. Congressman Saunders of Vir-
ginia and Congressman Morton of
North Dakota came to the relief of
the Oklahoma members with stronc
legal arguments as*inst thft-
sippi Choctaw claims.
Congressmen Harrison, Qainn and
Venable, all of Mississippi, oppoeed
the paymfnt and favored lasnding the
Mississippi Choctaw enrollment 'feon-
lention to the court <
~WKen the report"t
of the whole is adopted todaybjft
house it will send the per capita'<
rnentn item to the senate clean-cut
and stripped of any embarwrtny en- ,
rollment propositions.
While the debate was not so acri-
monious ss on former occasions*
there were times when the situation
rrew very intense. Congressman
Harrison seemed to be sparriag for
time, and Congressman GarUr erg
ing the matter i
portunity. ' , ■
The decisive vote given, by the
house of three to one is considered
as a solar plexus to the Mimtarippi
enrollment question, and if Oklaho-
ma's two able senators, both of whom
ire in hearty favor of the payment,
can expeditiously pilot the item
through the United Statsa senate
without enrollment amendments be-
ing tacked on, the payment will be
a reality before many weeks expire.
The proposed payment will mean
the distribution of approximately $8,-
000,000 among the two Indian tribea
residing in southeastern Oklahoma!
