ment secret Bervice. One is a $20

Imitated by ink lines. The portrait

traits of Lewis and Clark, has a good
color, but is too heavily printed. The
seal is larger than the genuine.

dition than it has enjoyed for two

day labor law, Frank H. Bailey, man-

ation for All State Bankers
Moral Test Rigid
Creek county. In words which le^ve
no room for doubt or argument, the
letter from the chief executive declares
that he will do everything in his pow-
ed to stop the go "between a man
named Flynn and Carl Morris," char-
acterizing the fight as a "brutal con-
test" and a "blot" upon the state.
Governor Cruce intimates that it is
"up to" the local officials to put a stop
to prize fights, and bring in a men-
tion of the "military arm of the gov-
ernment," declaring that the fight will
not take place even "if it becomes nec-
essary to call out the entire military
force of the state to see that the law
is enforced and the good name of Okla-
homa properly protected." Contests of
this kind, he says, "have been outlawed
in practically every civilized commu-
nity in America." The governor is in-
sistent on learning what Sheriff Berry
"is going to do about it."
"It is your duty to see that the law
ie enforced," Cruce declares emphat-
loally.
Supplementing the letter, Governor
Cruce said:
"I meant Just exactly what the let-
ter conveyed, and if the proper steps
are not taken by the local officials, I
will see that proper steps are taken."

Indications are that the Kaw valley,

shipped out of the Kaw valley during
an average season.

house at 8 o'clock p. m., a stranger

Oklahoma City—That dipping cattle j
is a profitable "side lino" for a rail-
road company to engage in was |
brought out by the evidence in the 1
case brought by H. G. Hzell of For-
aker agaftist the Midland Valley Rail- j
road company, in which the corpora-
tion commission is asked to regulate
the price to be charged by the rail-
road company lor dipping cattle. Tho
case was heard by the commission
so far as the complainant's testimony
was concerned, bnt was continued to
allow the railroad's side to be pre-
sented later.
It was brought out at the hearing
that the railroad had been charging
25 cents a head for the first dipping,
and 15 cents for the second, when thi j Purely vegetable
actual cost was not quite 2 cents. The I —act surely
county, in its dipping vats had been gently on ti
charging 5 cents and the expense of an "ver- Lure
inspector. It was shown that the rail
road company dipped 1,985 cars last
year, or approximately TiO.OOO cattle,
and received a revenue of :;:!0,000 from
that source alone. Mr. E/.ell said that
a charge of 25 cents would be satisfac-
tory to the shippers, 15 cents for the
first dip and 10 for the second.
