Business nt HI Hello Post office Is l(ap-
idly Incmising and More Help
is Needed.
At 'the library audiitoilium tomor-
row a mass meeting will l>e held un-
der the auspices of the women's fed-
eration of this cDty to discuss the
humane society movement as sug-
gested In The American a few days
lago. This is not a meetfng of Khe
women's federation, in fact 1t is urg-
ed that all non-memibers attend It he
meetfng .if possible. A number of
important topics will be brought up
for discussion. Any one interested in
the formation oft a humane society Is
requested Ito be present and offer any
suggestion along this line.
Since tlie suggestion of 'the forma-
tion of a humane society in t'h/s diity,
public sentiment has been aroused
to an unusual extent and 'this paper
has been highly commended for 'the
stand taken. In^.ances of cruel'ty to
horses, dogs and cattle are not infre-
quent. and While as one physician
states, tthere should be 'no need of a
humane society in a civilized com-
munity. t.'he need exists nevertheless
and an officer should have uuthoiO.y
to enforce humane laws.
In addition to t'he feature of law
enforcement lt;he society Could and
proba'bly would carry on an educa-
tional camiwign by means of which
much good might be accomplished.
As previously stated in 'this paper,
cruelty Itio (animals results not so
imuch from positive manifest a tions
of ill will, as from neglect. In ithe
former instance punli.^hment by pro-
cess of. law is the only remedy. In
the case of neglect an authorized offi-
cer can in most cases remedy the evil
H a well meant sugges ion given in
the proper spirit. And for this class
of offenders-the educational cami>aign
of the society would ll>e of unltold
value.
The whole subject will be thor-
oughly discussed at the mass meet-
In* to be held tomorrow. It is ;i
sufoject that admls of much discus-
sion and of vital (interest to every
communiity. Let the citizens turn
out 1 omorrow and champion the
cause of humanfv'y. '•
AGRICULTURISTS
MEET IN ROME
Rome, Nov. 20. delegates reprf
sen ting foi'ty-six nations in all parts
of tin- world, were assembled in the
magnificent manble palace erected in
the grounds of the historical Villa
Itu uhe v for the purpose, when King
Victor Kmianuel opened the first ses-
sion of the Interna ional Ins'iitute of
Agriculture today. The organiza-
tion which owes i'ts existence o the
Initiative and efforts of King Victor
Emanuel, and has met with' lie warm
support of nearly all civilized govern-
ments, has for Its principal object
the colled ion of. complete and re-
iiaible Information concerning the
farm crops in all parts of the world.
Its organisation is no. y€k completed,
hut will be perfected during the ses-
sion just opened today. According
'to the program favored by a major-
ity of 'the delegates a number of spe-
cial departments or bureaus will l e
credited, each ' o have charge of some
particular biunch of work, as the
gathering of crop statistics, the col-
lecting of Infornvaivon concert* ng blie
wages for farm work, new d'seapes
otf vegetation and effective remedies,
agricultural eo-operaltion, Insurance
and credit, simplification of weights
and measures, etc.
The plan of forming this InstMute
w is sugge.-ted 'by K ng Vic or Knuan-
Uel about three years ago and the
I'talian governmen' entered negotia-
tions with the governments of other
countries with a view of obtaining
■tihelr support of the'movement in the
form of 'blndiiiiig conventions. AH
first lis plan did not receive much
encouragement in Germany, France
and England. but 'the United S ates
ratified such a treaty talbotrt two
years ago and strongly ag^ated t'he
martter with cither govern mends.
Biiuce •then there has 'been a complete
change of sentiment in regard to this
•matter In Germany, 'France and Eng-
land and 'these ttiree countries are
now (among uUie mos' enthusiastic
supporters of the International In-
stitute of Agriculture and of its aim.

Xew Trial Was Secured by Detfend-
iiikI Lust Spring From Judge
Clark.
The Taylor-Watson case is in
court again and will consume the
time of the court until some time to-
morrow. Last spring .Miss Taylor
secured a judgment of $2,000, but a
new trial was granted. The case is
brought by Uhe Taylor girl no recover
damages from Watson whoim she al-
leges to 'be the father of her child.
Both parties are prominent in the
east pant of the county and 'the case
is ari'nacting considerable attention.
Judge Fogg is attorney for the plain-
tiiff, and Balbcock and Trevathan of
'this city and McAdams of Oklahoma
City are attorneys for the plaintiff.
The two year old child of the plain-
tiff was introduced today in evidence
in the case to show its resemblance
to the defendant. Defendant's coun-
sel strongly objected to this font ob-
jections were overruled. The case
is being hard fought and wiill probab-
ly go 'to the jury all;out noon tomor-
row.
A peculiar co-incidence in the case
in district court yesterday was call-
ed to the attention of the court. The
case entitled McCoy vs. McCoy was
a dispute over land and both parties
to the suit -as well as all the wilt
nesses on either side were all from
Braxton, County. West Virginia. The
case was decided in favor ofl the
plaintiff.
A motion to set aside it'he (infor-
mation in the Atchison case will be
argued 'before Judge Carney tomor-
row.

Postmaster NVattson has applied
to the poatottice department for the
addition of another carrier in this
city owing to the rapidly .increasing
business handled at the local office.
•No better barometer of 1 lie condition
a city can "be obtained than the
postoftice receipts and for El Reno
these speak very flattering indeed.
Statistics have not yet been compiled
but Mr. Wat.tson says the business a't
the ipostoflice in this city has increas-
ed wonderfully during the past six
months. The office is kept Vnsy all
he time and the addition of a car-
rier is considered necessary for the
prompt delivery of mail 'in this city.
The objection offered thus far by
the postoflice department is that the
additions around the ci'ty have no
sidewalks or very few and the postal
aiuhorlttes will not. ask a carrier to
deliver in 'territory Chiat has no side-
walk facilities. ThJis, however, has
been remedied to a great extent and
It -is thought the favor asked for will
this time 'be granted.
