state tax is pro-rated to the various

| This tax will amount to something
over $2.00 per capita this year, we
understand. Last year the census
• showed an enrollment of 1156, hence
nearly three thousand dollars were
turned into the treasury of this dis-

amounted to something near $2.60

of learning out of the boundaries of

Hence, all patrons of the school are
asked to co-operate with the census-

thus facilitate the work. A large en-

for the office of county attorney, sub-
ject to the action of the democratic
primary to be held on August 1st, this
year. For the past several month*
the political pot has been simmering;
thtose who are, have been patching
their fences; those who expect to be,
have been nosing around; and those
who have been, and who are now num-
bered in the "also ran" class, hi
been eagerly watching the tide of
events to see if the chance to show
the voters that they made a mistake
in not electing them the previous
time, presents itself. Men are seen
on the streets and in doorways in
groups every day in earnest conversa-
tion. Truly the campaign time i*
rapidly drawing near, but with the
announcement of Mr. Holtzendorff
the 1916 democratic primary cam-
paign is or. and the first boom of the
•annon is heard, which later is to re-
sound on all sides with the numerous
politicians, each endeavoring to ex-
pound to the voters their special mer-
it and show why they should be select-
ad to represent democracy at the
polls in November.
It is the custom of the Progress to
present each candidate's claims to the
voters in an impartial manner. Mr
Holtzendorff has announced for tKe
democratic nomination for the office
of county attorney. Let us then look
to his rjualifications.
Mr. F jltzendorff is a member of
the law urm of Holtzendorff St Holt-
zendorff of this city. He is a bright
young lawyer with plenty of ability
and get-up and go. He is an earnest
worker, is a graduate of the law
school of the University of Georgia
and of the law school of the Memphis,
Tenn., University. Prior to his com-
ing to Rogers county lrom his native
state. Tennessee, he had nine years of
experience in official life in Memphis,
being a prosecutor of law violations
•f the pure food laws which K<n-peak
of his qualifications to undertake the
duties of county attorney of Rogers
county.
"If I am successful in securing the
democratic nomination in the primary
in August and then am chosen by the
voters at the November election, it
shall be my object to interpret the
law as it is written. I have no friends
to favor nor any enemies to punish
and I am obligated to no clique or
clan. I will interpret the law with a
free har.d to the beat of my knowl-
benefitted to the greatest extent by
the pay-up week policy. Such a plan
does not necessarily mean that all
shall pay all they owe, but that each
and every one of us shall at least pay
something on what we owe that we
may start the new year with less per-
sonal indebtedness and the merchants
of the city with a cleaner set of books.
The pay-up week has been tried in
other sections and has been abundant-
ly successful to such an extent that
it has been made in many localities an
annual affair. Progress cannot make
the pay-up week a success lone-hand-
ed. We will need the co-operation
and help of all of the people who
think that such a plan will be for the
best interests of the town and the
county and we believe most heartily
that it will.

AN ENTERPRISING FIRM
We learn that T. E. Foster was
distributing free samples of the justly
famous brand of "EXCELI.O COF-
FEE" to all their regular customers
and many new ones this week.
This speaks well for the enterprise
of T. E. Foster as it shows that they
think there is no coffee too good for
this market. Arrangements have
been made to populize EXCELLO
Brand Coffee here by a lively cam-
paign of newspaper and other adver-
tising, and that T. E. Foster are sure
you will be pleased with EXCELLO
("The Cup Exquisite") is evidenced
by the fact that they let you try it
before you buy it.

HIS MULES ARE SAFE AT
HOME
Oscar Jeffers, of Inola, spent Mon-
day in the city on business. Mr.
Jeffers has just recently returned
from Kansas where he made his home
for a short time. He formerly lived
in this city, at which time he kept
several head of mules. He made his
home in the east part of the city and
the mules had a habit of singing in a
mulish chorus which disturbed the
neighbors to : uch an extent that
protest was raised. The fart that the
protest was raised "peeved"' Mr. Jef-
fers to such an extent that he packed
up hi* belongings and went to Kan-
sas where he *aid he could keep his
mules where he pleased. When he
decided to return to Oklahoma, he
says that he, still being in p. .session
of his mules, and remembering the
objections of hi* neighborhood here,
with reference to their "singing,"
gave Claremore the go-by and again
took up his residence in the town of
Inola where the mules are given the
privilege to bray all night if they
feel so inclined. So Mr. Jpffers and
his mules are again at home in the
quiet of the little town down the line,
where the midnight chorus of the
long-eared animals is permitted with-
out protest.
