SEVEN INDIVIDUALS

SIX, PARTLY THROUGH
CLUBBERS

Due to Market Drop, K ds Lose
Money in Sale Just Like Elders,
Can't Forget Training.
Of the seven prizes taken by j
t loveland county cattle raisers in the
Southwest American Livestock show |
at Oklahoma C ity, three went to club j
boys. according to County Agent I'.
K. Norris.
Winners in the county were: Kob-|
(rt Rucker, near Norman, by two;
ll< rcfoul heifers, Lady Gwendoline
and Belle Fairfax, and young Here-'
lord bull, Grand Fairfax; Shultz Bros.,'
Norman, by senior yearling Aberdeen-
Angus bull taking bin ■ ribbon; llaskel
Carpenter, Lexington club boy, fifth
place Hereford calf; John Kagsdale,;
Lexington club boy, tenth place Mere-,
ford calf; Leroy Lamberson, Noble J
club boy, thirteenth p ace, Hereford l
calf. The Hereford calves fattened |
by the club boys in each case came I
from the Rucker herd.
Rucker and Altord Smalley at e go-1

three prize winners for the Royal'
Livestock .show at Kansas City next;
fall, W. N. Rucker informed. Smal-!
ley judged the \\ icliita, Kan., livestock I
show last fall and has been in charge
of the famous Briggs herd near Mus ;
kogee for several years.
Boys who sold their calves at the
auction following the show all lost
money on their animals because the \
market had dropped since they were
bought last fall, Norris informed. Loss
oi money by these youngsters who
Were nowise to blaine is unfortunate
because so discouraging, he said.
'It is certainly good training in
stock raising and the experience can-1
not be taken away from them. The
kids worked hard, fed their animals'
and learned a lot. Like the most ex-
perienced cattle raisers they were sold
out at a loss, too."

Rucker was so proud oi the showing
his cattle made that he bad his nine
purcbreds photographed in Norman
Saturday forenoon before taking them
out to the farm. Many of the local
stock fanciers in the city that morn-
ing looked them over with apprecia-
tion in their eyes. Since competition
was so keen in both the aduit and
boys division oi the show, it is thought
to be quite pardonable. The club boys
had 305 caives entered and the ones
placing from this county had been se-
cured from this Hereford drove, also,
Norris pointed out.

New Slate ice company, the largest
ice manufacturing company in the

in almost unlimited quantities. Being
located on the interurbaii line, he is in
a position to gel ice twice daily, il nec-
essary.
Air. Sheppard has built up a big
coal business, and teels confident that
In will do equally well in the ice bus-
iness. lie attributes his success in a
large measure to his extensive adver-
tising campaign carried on through
the Transcript -naviug something to

1 he picture of a Norman-attorney
s to adorn the walls of the renuesse
governor's mansion, a fact made
k-.o'vvii through a little detective
work on tne part of the editor of the
Transcript.
James M. Gresham, 6J1 North Pe-
ters. an old acquaintance and boy-
hoou claim of Gov. Alt' Taylor, is tne
attorney upon wiiom the honor tails.
But it :ook more than detective work
to get this information from the law-
yt in question it took a prize pole,
a block and tackle and an eight-horse
power engine to draw out the in-
formation needed for tits story.
It was the request of Gov. 1'ayfor
• iiat Judge Gresham and Baxter Tay-
lor, of Oklahoma City, chairman of
staie industrial commission, have
their pictures made together and send
nim one to adorn his mantel in mem-
ory oi tiie happy events enjoyed to
grate: in the years that have gone by.
Mode tly replying to the request tne
:*>ctut e was made and forwarded post
.aste and now rests in the frame and
ccup'es the place prepared fo: it.
li will be remembered that several
years ago Bob i'aylof, defeated h s
brother, Alt Taylor, for governor.
hi the same year their father, Nat
taylor, declined the nomination lor
governor on the prohigition I cket.
i he J aylors have all been prominent
ui politics,'Bob and Alf both serving
in congress at different times, the
lornier a democrat and tiie latter a
epiiblican.
Father Writes to Son
When Bob Taylor was first elect-
ed governor his father wrote It in a
letter and gave him some "fatherly"
advice. When Alt' was elected v\
ernor last fall he published the letter
nil said the words of his sainted fatlii'
er would be accepted by himself as
a living monument to cheer and
guide him in the discharge of iiis of-
ficial duties.
The letter follows;
Happy Valley, Tenn.,
Jan. 17, 1887.
"Hon. R. L. Taylor, Nashville, Tenn.
"My dear s"ii: As you enter to-
day upon youp offical career as gov-
ernor of Tennessee, I want to say a

addition to tin present number,
there will be others to join who will |
furnish their own instruments.

cal talent galore, both vocal and in-
trumcntal of all kinds. With this
in view it is easy enough for the

Notes for Membership Dues Will
Be Received by the Organiz-
ation Committee.
The 16.0(H) farmers already mem-
bers of the Oklahoma Cotton Grow-
ers Association will themselves fin-
ish the drive for the 300,000 bale
minimum goal, it was stated at as-
ociat'on headquarters last night.
Over 225,000 bales have already
been signed up. according to secre-
tary C. L. Stealey. In order that the
bala"ce of the 300,000 bales may be |
secured quickly the entire member- i
.hip i> being asked to devote the:
week of March 28-April 2 to getting (

further decided that A will accept !
members for the peri >d of this
drive only, on payment of the mini
bersh p fee by notes payable < ut -f
the first cotton sold through the as-
sociation by the member. At the
completion of this drive, however,
the basis fo accepting members will
be changed.
"The committee has decided upon
his intensive one-week drive by the

cy Stealey, "in order to shorten
e campaign, stopping organization
expense, and gaining 30 days in !
which to prepare to handle the 1921
c op Some very important things I
vhich must be done before cotton!
moves this fall, cannot be done until |
he 300,000 bale goal has been ac-j
tttally reached.
'In accepting notes on the mem !
bership fee, the committee feels that
it is making the way into the ass -
iiion easier for a great number of
cotton farmers who have exnresscd 1
a desiie to join but who have been
held back because of scarcity oi I

fied in accepting notes at this ime.
o it now sees its way clear to fi

inary Arrangements and operatons
up to the actual marketing of cot-
ton this fall."

Klein Says:
Did you ever think that perhaps the
tires you have had trouble with, uiiijiit
have been old tires when you bought
them? Shelf worn, from being in
stock a long time?
Rubber deteriorates all the
time whether used or not, and of
course a casing that has been in
a dealer's stock long could not be
expected to deliver the service a
fresh one would.
But you say, how can I tell whether
a tire is new or not.
We say. buy from a dealer that
you know is moving his stock all
the time, not from one who only
se'ls tires as a side line.
Our stock is always on the move
and you can depend on the tire we sel
you being a new one, absolutely.
May we figure with you for
your spring tire equipment?
