Stone Mountain Coins
To Be Hoarded by

buying quantities of Confederate
Memorial Half Dollars according
to authenticated report following
upon announcement that the price
of the coins would advance auto-
matically to $200 each They are
now selling at one dollar apiece in
a drive sponsored by the Stone
Mountain Confederate Memorial As-
sociation The following telegram was re-
ceived Thursday by Judge H N
Wells director general of Oklaho-
ma’s campaign:
“Stone Mountain board of direc-
tors today unanimously passed res
olution raising price of Confederate
memorial half dollars to two dol-
lars each beginning April 15”
County and city chairmen of the
State-wide campaign were immedi-
ately notified by Judge Wells in the
hope that they might inspire their
co-workers to unusual effort to raise
each community’s quota before the
increase went into effect
News of the advance spread about
the State capitol where campaign
headquarters are located and very
shortly reached the city’s business
center with result that there was

Federal Tax of $640 a
Gallon Will Apply to
Hotels with Liquor
Oklahoma City Mar 1— Hotels
rooming houses and stores where
it is proved intoxicating liquors
have been sold with the knowledge
of the owners or propraetors will
in the future be assessed Federal
revenue liquor taxes amounting to
more than $2500 a year George M
Callihan attorney for the Oklaho-
ma prohibition department said
Monday
Similar tax assessments or pen-
alties will be filed in connection
with every liquor violation regard-
less of whether the liquor has been
sold or manufactured on j(het pre-
mises Callihan said t?i - j
When a permanent injunction Is
granted by the government such
action will be taken as proof that
the owners or proprietors are sub
ject to tne liquor revenue taxes and
suit will immediately be brought
for the collection
Only the big fellows the manu-
facturers or sellers or the larger
hotels or rooming houses are to he
assessed these special internal reve-
nue liquor taxes
Other prohibition departments of
the government it is understood
are now using the tax assessments
against the larrer operators As yet
no case hus been appealed to the
Supreme court to test the constitu-
tionality of the supplemental act to
the Volstead law voted by Congress
after it was' held that the prohibi-
tion law had repealed all former
liquor revenue taxes - '
Marketing: Contest
Is Growing

Oklahoma City March 1 — - En
dorsed by the State superintendent
of public instruction county super-
intendents Oklahoma A and M
College and the boys and girls club
organizations of the State the sec-
ond annual co-operative marketing
essay contest is attrating widespread
interst both within and without Ok-
lahoma The contest is conducted
jointly by the Oklahoma Cotton
Growers’ Association and the Okla-
homa Wheat Growers’ Association
More than $4600 in cash prizes and
twenty trips to Stillwater are of-
fered Arthur H Jenkins editor of the
Farm Journal the agricultural pa-
per having the largest circulation-
more than a million and a quarter
— in its class in the country had this
to say about the 1925 contest:
“The Co-ops in Oklahoma are!
making a vigorous effort to get co-
operation thoroughly understood
among— whom do you suppose? the
banks? busincssess? legislators?
Npt at all Among the group that
is more important than all the
above the boys and girls in the
schools
“They are coimucting essay don-
tests and importing speakers and
their purpose is not only to focus
attention on co-operation as it is
now but to educate a generation of
co-operators who will make OUa-
homa in a few years another Den-
mark "Without stretching the facts it
is our opinion that this one Okla-
homa experiment is of more real im-
portance to agriculture than any
thing that has happened in Congres
in the last two years”
