Socialist Convention.
The socialist oi' Washita coun-
ty held their convention in the
court room last Saturday and
placed men in nomination for the
various county offices. These
names, however, will be submit
ted to the several locals thrugh-
out the county for ratification,
and in case where there are two
or more names suggested for the
same offiee, the locals elect the
candidate.
It is like attending a 'ovefeast
to attend one of these meetings,
as there are no positive refusals
to anything looking towards the
the advancement of their cause.
This political party seemed de-
termined to go on notwithstand-

fore that body now asking a new
trial on a conviction for cattle
tealing which is about due from
the court.
The consensus of opinion with
the local bar is that he will be
given a new trial on some error
on the part of the trial judge-

We cannot understand Char-
ley's reluctance to going at this
time, as four years is a long
time and he might be pardoned
out and be in splendid condition
to run for governor on the demo-
cratic primary ballot when the
nex« race is made.

a socialist meeting. In conver
sation with L). C. Hurley, the on-
ly live wire of that party, so far
as we know, he said "that since
the Tulsa convention he could see
no reason for not getting togeth-
er and make a combined attempt
to redeem the state from the rule
and ruin policy of those now in
control." This may be the senti-
ment of the other republicans
who felt as if the old party had
not kept pace with progress of
the country. We believe this is
the oroper spirit to show at this
time,

Express Rates.
An order directing all express
companies doing business in Ok-
lahoma to put into effect on the
4th of March the express rate
promulgated in 1909,^was issued
by the corporation commission
Monday afternoon. The new
rules make a material reduction
from those now in effect.
The express companies refused
to be bound by the new rates
when the.v were first promulgat
ed by the commission and the
case was appealed to the su-
preme court on the ground that
the commission was without au-
thority to fix rates, and that they
were unreasonable. The court
in a lengthy opinion, written by
Justice R. L. Williams, upheld
the right of the commission to
establish the new rates and also
held they were not unreasonable.
The order of the commission
directing the companies to pub-
lish new tariffs and put the new
rate into effect recites the fact
that the supreme court has up-
held the rate, the order of the
commission, therefore the rates
should become effective at once.
The express companies applied
for a rehearing sometime ago,
which was denied. The case was
then taken to the federal court
at Guthrie, where it is now pen-
ding on an application for an in-
junction restraining the enforce-
ment of the rates promulgated
by the commission.
that all the prominent ^breeds
were represented oy excellent
specimens. This show was got-
ten mostly through the efforts
of R. K. Gernert, who induced
the various exhibitors to attend
by a list of oremiums he had se-
cured by his own solicitation. Of
course he had the assistance of
his neighbors, who stand togeth-
er as one man. and the show was
successful to that extent that an
atsociation was formed, and this
fall it is proposed to put on an
exhibit of poultry that will make
some of the old associations sit
up and take notice.
Why cannot Cordell do as well.
Our people have the chickens,
know as well how to rai«e them,
leaving the only reason for not
getting together is the fact that
our people don't. We could have
as good a show as they can have
anywhere if we get together and
push towards that end.
With this object in view poul-
try fanciers are requested to
meet at the office of Murrell &
Cohoon on Saturday afternoon at
two o'clock to form an organiza-
tion to push the pdultry trade. It
is hoped that many of our farm-
el poultry men will be on hand
and that a strong association be
given birth,
Buy at Home.
Don't buy aluminumware of
an agent until you have found
the price of the same at your lo-
cal dealers' We did that last
year, before we knew any local
firm handled it, and we were
skinned. We didn't feel so bad-
ly for the home merchant as for
ourself, as he should have adver-
tised that he handled the ware.
Then the public would have got-
ten their supply at home. We
are told that there is an alumi-
numware agent here now, and
we advise those wanting alumi-
numware to see Aachte first, as
he carries a complete supply.

will be awarded in each <>f 72
events, and the entire county is
to be represented. Every school
in this county will contest for
the many honors and prizes, and
the largest school gathering av-
er entertained here is expected.
By this time, the local high
school will have the best athletic
eltid in the state, ind every per-
son in the county should give
this meet his support. Accomo

The only way we have of judg

believe the patrons, with mighty
few excestions are perfectly

Atth1 ccurt house. Monday
evening, at 7.30 o'clock, Pastor
W. Horace Rundy, of San Fran-
sisco, will deliv-
er his noted lec-
ture on "Who
Created Hell".
Pastor Bundy,
who is now on
an extensive
tour of the con-
tinent, is said
to be one of the
most popular
ministers in
America. He
turned to the
preaching of the Gospel from a
theatrical life and his sermons
are unique, in tnat they are not
mingled with the mannerisms of
the stage. He fr quently fav-
ors his utfie ces with choice vo
cal selections. Admission free
to all. No ( ollections.

Program Committee
At The Baptist Church
The revival meeting which has
been in progress at the First
Baptist Church for the past two
weeks came to a close last nig(it.
Great throngs were present to
enjoy the last service. The pas-
tor baptized 18 new members in-
to the church, and some others
stand approved to be baptised
next Sunday evening. There
were about forty additions to the
church during the meetings and
the town in general was lifted
toward God. Evangelist An
drew Potter has preached logi-
cal and convincing sermons, and
everyone who heard him was
well pleased with his work. He
will hold a dear place in the
memory of this church and city.
Next Sunday promises to be a
great day for us. We plan to in
sugurate the great " Win and
Hold" contesi between the Sons
of Thunder and Daughters of
of Bethany. Much intersst is
already being shown, and we ex-
pect 300 in Sunday school. We
want fifty young men in the Ba-
raca class that a photo may be
made and sent to our denomina-
tional papers for publication.
At eleven o'clock, the pastor
will speak on "Close Commun-
ion'' after which( we will observe
the Lord's supper. Sunday
night the the pnstor will speak
on '"The Sin of Gadding About"
Several reasons will be ad-
vanced why the dances now con-
ducted at the old opera house
should be declared a public nu i-
cance. Our orchestra will fur-
nish special music. Miss Flora
Blackwell will sing "I am Happy
in Him" at the evening hour.
A welcome for one and all.

TWO MINUTE TITLE TALKS
The Business of Abstracting
The business of abstracting
titles is of comparitively re-
cent growth. As land in-
creases in value, the need of
title security becomes more,
and more imperative.
It is just as sensible to safe
guard the title to a thousand
dollar lot or a five thousand
farm as it is to keep your
thousand-dollar or five-thous-
and aollar bond under lock
and key. Protection in each
case is the thing sought.
Good titles make real estate
as negotiable as stocks or
bonds, There is no way of
being sure about the title ex-
cept by the help of an ab-
stract.
