OFFICIAL PAPER
OF COAL COUNTY
The people of Oklahoma are
with Senator Owen about one
hundred to one on his supreme
court proposition The lawyers
of the state are against Senator
Owen but they represent but a
small part of the state It is time
the people of Oklahoma were de-
claring themselves on this deal
Senator Owen has 99 per cent
of the people of the state support-
ing his proposed proposition
Those in the house and senate
that voted against his endorse-
ment will find themselves with a
mighty small crowd of followers
For months the people of the
United States have been hoping
and prating that there would be
no war With Germany or with any
of the warring nations Of late
it has looked as though this coun-
try would be instrumental in
bringing about peace for the war-
ring nations of Europe How-
ever right now it looks very
much as though this nation would
be drawn into it It appears now
as though this government would
either have to back down or fight
No American wants to get mixed
up in that European war but every
abl& bodied man stands ready to
shoulder a gun and go to the front
if President Wilson gives the command
It is entirely too soon to discuss
the candidates in connection with
the next gubernatorial race but if
both Hon J B A Robertson and
Congressman Scott Ferris get into
the race and they are the most
talked of men in the state in this
connection it appears that the
race will be pretty well filled It
has been generally understood that
Judge Robertson would again be a
candidate ever since he closed his
last campaign in which he made
such an excellent showing and
the indications are that the friends
and admirers of Congressman Fer-
ris will bring such strong pressure
to bear that he will not find it in
his heart to refuse to permit his
name to be used Neither Judge
Robertson nor Congressman Fer-
ris have made any definite an-
nouncements in regard to their
prospective candidacy A great
many things can happen between"
now and a seasonable time in
which to open a campaign that
might bear upon the results
Judge Robertson is known how-
ever to have entertained an am-
bition to be the state’s chief execu-
tive and Congressman Ferris is
not unmindful of the distinguished
honor and the opportunity for ser-
vice the position carries with it
In the event that each of these
gentlemen decides to present his
name to theP democratic voters
many will find it difficult to de-
cide where they ‘‘are at” in the
primary campaign— Me Alester

Buffalo Herd Multiplies
Recent statements made by
Frank Rush keeper of the game
preserve in the Wichita national
forest reserve is that there are
now eighty-two buffaloes- and
forty-five elks being taken care of
in the park In 1907 Mr Rush
went to New York and brought
back fifteen buffaloes This was
all there were then and three have
died since but by good care of
the animals they have multiplied
until now there are eighty-two
head in the park
Mr Rush went to St Anthony
several years later- and got ten
elks This herd has now been
increased to fortyfive and all the
animals are thrifty and satisfied
with their quarters
Lehigh School Notes
Mamie Ross and Earl Me Alpine
Editors
The officers in the 9th grade
called a special meeting last Fri-
day They selected light pink
and green for their class colors
Tuesday morning at nine o’clock
the gong commenced to ring vig-
orously It was for “books” in
the grades Imagine how some
of the Sophomore girls felt after
starting to run for safety (think-
ing it was the fire alarm) Their
teacher commanded them to stop
Monday morning those who
took part in any debate between
other schools were presented with
a watch fob On the front of the
fob is “L H S 18” On the
back is the Word “Debate” and
the initials of the owner The
fobs are made of bronze with a
leather strap Carter Rogers
Henry and McAlpine were the
ones to receive the fobs All
seem to appreciate them not so
much for their value but for what
they represent
We are preparing for another
debate soon The subject is:
“Resolved That the Monroe doc-
trine as it has been enforced
should be continued as a part of
the permanent foreign policy of
the United States”

Segregated Land Owners
Hon Gabe E Parker superintendent
for the Five Civilized Tribes informs
me that the bill passed by Congress
extends the time for making the final
payments on all segregated land but
does not extend the time for making
the second payments The second in-
stallments or payments were not ex-
tended for the reason that two or more
extensions have heretofore been grant-
ed The bill as passed by Congress
reads as follows:
“Resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress Assembled that
the Secietary of the Interior is hereby
authorized to extend the time for pay-
ment of the final installment due on
the purchase of tracts of the surface of
the segregated coal and asphalt land
area belonging to the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Tribes sold under the Act
of Congress approved February 19th
1912 to four years after the sale was
made instead of two years as provid-
ed in section five of said Act: Provid-
ed That the accrued interest on all in-
stallments to date when due and the
principal of the second installment if
due shall be paid before an extension
as herein provided may be granted
And provided further that in all other
respects the provisions of the existing
law shall apply to these purchases”
In construing the above act of Con-
gress Mr Parker states in his letter
that Under the above quoted provi-
sion of said act and instructions of the
Department the second installment on
all tracts of this class (segregated land)
of land purchased in November 1914
and January 1916 must be paid If any
of the purchasers of these lands have
paid interest on the entire installments
and have not paid the second install-
ment it is necessary for them to re-
mit the second installment (payment)
together with the interest thereon at
5 per cent annum from the time it be-
came due to the time remittance reach-
es the Muskogee office”
All purchasers will be given a reason-
able time in which to make the second
payments The Government will not
cancel any sale until all parties have
had ample time in which to make the
second payments All who have made
their second payments on segregated
lands will be given two more years in
which to make the final payments If
I can be of service to any one who
purchased any of the above designated
lands in making out their remittances
I will be glad to assist them
Yours very truly

WHAT IS the VERY BEST CRIB
' VALUE TO BE HAD?
v
R
TrHE experience of many mothers tends
to prove that the best crib should have
high sidesoerwhich baby cannot climb
and close-set upright filler rods so that the
baby cannot get caught The best crib will
also have a noiseless side-slide and friction-
less casters which permit of moving the crib
with greatest ease
The only crib which unites all these
features is the
Simmons Safe Crib
The Style Illustrated only $000
Simmons Safe Cribs are handsome enough
for the finest nursery yet their prices are
moderate They embody all the famous
points of Simmons workmanship and superb
enamel finish — the excellence of line that
makes them pleasing to look upon

may need a crib or any kind of a bed
for any bedroom in the home to choose
now from our very complete showing
