Good Time at State Press
Meeting'
The editor of this paper at-
tended the meeting of the Okla-
homa Press Association at Medi-
cine Park near Lawton Friday
and Saturday and had a fine
time
Medicine Park is a summer re-
sort and the attractive cottages
and other improvements rqake it
a pretty place' The editors of
the state have a $15000 club
house there in which the sessions
were held
Lake Lawtonka is a beautiful
thing It covers several square
miles and in places is fifty feet
deep It is well stocked with
fishi and for the first time in
three years fishing was allowed
in the lake and it was a sight to
see the big strings of the finny
tribe caught by the editors and
others who fished there last
week The big dam is being
raised ten feet which it is fig-
ured will double the capacity of
the lake which is the water sup-
ply for the city of Lawton and
the Ft Sill reservation
We made the trip in the car of
Editor G y Stevenson of Sul-
phur and he was also accompan-
ied by County Judge J H Cas-
teel and Earle Masters of Sul-
phur It was a congenial crowd
and we had a fine trip barring
the trouble we had with some
new roads in Garvin county
which had been made almost im-
passable by the recent rains
We were glad to note the good
road work being done in Brady
township which will improve
their roads very much when they
settle We saw some fine crops
along the route and noted that
the crops in this section are
much further advanced than
those in the western part The
grain crops looked fine but are
having too much rain now
J W Kayser of Chickasha
was elected president of the as-
sociation for the coming year
McAlester was chosen- as the
next meeting place
Scenic Route Projected
An interesting item in the
Chamber of Commerce news in
the Daily Ardmoreite is to the
effect that Colonel Suggs is
now working on a big road idea
which is to secure immediate
federal aid together with the
use of state convicts to build a
hard surface national highway
from Platt National Park at Sul-
phur via Davis Turner Falls
and Price Falls in the Arbuckles
Springer Ardmore and Marietta
to the Red River bridge at
Gainesville This would bring
Oklahoma’s most beautiful scen-
ery and greatest health resort
into easy touch with northcen-
tral Texas Incidentally it
would be a fine thing for this
entire section of the state

also were used to form a bridal

which the ceremony was read
Tall baskets filled with pink
roses carried out the color
scheme
Preceding the ceremony Miss
Lilly Hawkinson accompanied fe
by Miss Billte Landers sang “I

ing” The bride entered with

delssohn’s wedding march

hand-made gown of organdie

quet of white peonies and snap-
dragons Following the cere-
jnony an informal reception was
field and the bride’s cake was

Owen Club
Lake and Club House
The need of a big lake and
club house in this vicinity has
frequently been spoken of in the
past And the talk has been re-
newed lately Will W Short
has a fine location for a lake
about two and a half miles south-
east of' Davis on the road to
Price’s Falls Mr Short offers
to donate the land if the citizens
wish to form a stock company
and finance the building of a
lake and club house The lake
could be stocked with fish and in
a few years would be a fine out-
ing place Other towns and
cities have country clubs why
not Davis keep up with the pro-
cession? Many of the business
stand ready to go into such an
enterprise It just remains for
someone to take the lead
