Kiwanis Club Observes
Its Second Birthday
The second anniversary of the
Davis Kiwanis club was celebrat-
ed last Friday evening in a splen-
did way The program was at-
tended by more than fifty per-
sons probably half of whom were
from Ardmore ' v
President Garrett in his wel-
come address thanked the Ard-
more club for its work in sponsor-
ing the Davis club and for its
services in playing “big brother"
to the local club
Following the president’s ad-
dress Alfred Hutchins secretary
of the Davis club told of some of
the projects which the Davis club
has successfully carried out
Among these were the sponsoring
of a Boy Scout organization the
first to be established in Davis
the putting up of road signs the
helping of highschool pupils and
assisting in putting over the
athletic program of the school
The club also has helped to create
a more friendly spirit between the

ated renewed interest in 'the art
of debating sponsored through
the cooperation of County Agent
Lewis a better dairying program

Jersey bull for dairymen of the

establishing a cream station in
Davis to further aid the dairying
program
The Kiwanis club offered -two

A Statement by
G H Willis
Candidate for
County Commissioner
I have lived in this district 33 years and I believe I know the
needs of the people as well as anyone '
My business interests are all in Davis I believe our trade
territory can be considerably enlarged by maintaining the
proper roads and if elected I shall do this
Taxes are too high Being a considerable tax payer myself if
elected I shall exercise the strictest economy in the conduct of
my office I shall not favor the hiring of any but the most
necessary deputies in the county offices
I do not own any fanning land in the district I will not ex-
tend special favors to any particular locality
I am not an habitual candidate I am not allied with any
group or faction If elected I shall endeavor to distribute the
road work justly
In regard to the county agent I am open-minded If the
FARMERS want a county agent their wishes should be
respected
-‘V
N I Your vote and support will be appreciated I '
C H WILLIS
that there are twb'kinds of build-
ers material builders and moral
builders ' In the first class he
listed Eli Whitney Fulton Mar-
coni and others as inventors also
Ford the Rothchilds Rockfeller
and the Morgans all of whom are
material builders All are essen-
tial to the welfare of the country
he said “Back of! every great
achievement in the world some
body has created the achievement
first in his own mind" Mr Rec-
tor said "and this is just the case
with these great material builders
of the nation
“On the other hand "the speak-
er continued “there are the mor-
al builders Under this great class
I would place true artists the
Raphaels of art They are the
idealists of the ages they tend
ever to lift the ideals of the na-
tion to higher planes Kiwanis
in its true sense should be both a
material builder and ' a moral
builder and when it is founded on
the principles of the Lowly Naza-
rene these things which it builds
will stand”
Notice to Voters and
Friends
It has been brought to my at-
tention by friends all over the
county that there have been some
false statements made concerning
my daughter Opal Swearengin
who is taking the rest cure for
tuberculosis in Roswell New
Mexico She is not staying with
relatives as some have falsely
stated nor is working She is a
bed patient at the White Lodge
Sanitarium where she has been for
five months and where she went
on the advice of local physicians
after her health broke and she
had to quit a job here The fact
that she is totally disabled and a
bed patient can readily be veri-
fied by communication with the
above hospital at Roswell : Fur-
ther my daughter does not have
an insurance policy that takes
care of her expenses as stated but
does' have a policy that allows
only one half to a T B patient
and the amount received does not
anywhere near take care of bare
necessities
I feel that it is reprehensible for
persons to try to drag in the mis-
fortune of one’s family and try to
win votes by false statements
And I feel that it is only fair to
my many friends over the county
to correct the false statements
someone has been trying to spread

-1 Support Friends Say
-V -i !
George Vincent of Stillwater
who hbs recently announced his
candidacy for Democratic nomi-
nation as President of the Board
of Agriculture is well and favor-
ably known by Murray County
folks -
For the past sixteen years
George has been connected with
the Oklahoma A and M College
as County agent District agent
and Marketing Specialist During
his years of service at the College
he has come in touch with farmers
of the State and knows first hand
the needs of the various sections
of the state
As Marketing Specialist he has
assisted in the development and
organization of various co-operative
marketing associations A
great deal of credit is due George
Vincent! for the organization of
our' own Murray County Co-operative
Creamery In fact he is
the father of the co-operative
creamery movement in Oklahoma
If elected Mr Vincent will be
the executive head of both the
State Dairy and Marketing Com-
mission Neither of the organi-
zations can be of service to the
state with political interference
The dairy 'industry is sorely in
need of State regulation and Vin-
cent is the man who can and will
assist the industry
Under the present law if elected
Vincent will be President of the
Board of Regents of the A and
M College as well as the four
secondary schools at Goodwell
Lawton Tishomingo and Warner
and if the proposed amendment
which will be voted on in Novem-
ber passes he will be ex-officio
member of that Board of Regents
In this capacity Vincent can assist
the work in all these schools and
make them of greater service to
the State
Mr Vincent states that during
the sixteen years that he has been
connected with the A and M
College he has served under nine
presidents He is familiar with the
problems of the institution and
believes that it can be of the great-
est service only when removed
from political control
George Vincent is to be com-
mended for his years of faithful
service to the state - He is a friend
to the business man as well as the
farmer and believes that both
must prosper to build the Com-
munity State and Nation He
has the courage to fight for what
he believes is right and just and
merits the support of every voter
