COMMERCIAL CLtB
HAS BUSY S SSION
The Claremore Commercial met
in regular session Thursday noon at
the Mason Hotel at 12:.'i0. R. H.
Wills presided and the following
business was transacted:
Minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
Rev. Wickizer of Vinita, by pre-
vious appointment, was present at
the club and explained in detail the
Interchurch World movement which fects
has for its purpose the raising of 33G
millions of dollars in the United
States for the establishing of theo-
logical schools and providing better
educational facilities so that the
young people may receive bette
moral and religious training. It i
hoped by this method that better
teachers may be secured for the Bible
schools of the land and the church
brought into a position to do a great-
er and more efficient work towards
making better citizenship. A drive
for funds will be made and Rev.
Wickizer said it is the duty of every
business man whether he has made
a profession or not to support the
movement on account of its nature.
It is the great movement of a centurv

VW1W ITHI\I\Hni A quiet wedding took place Thurs-
' at high noon at the home of Mr
IdTiL^i8' !\G- £riswold when their
Scott Pilkington, who resides near Mr rlf'''1 became th« bride of
Foyil, rushed up to Sheriff Green J Day, Episco,
S. B. North, as chairman of the
t ommercial Club committee hav-
ing in charge the reception of the
delegates to the I. O. O. F Con-
vention here next Wednesday, in
conjunction with an Odd Fellow Com-
mittee. asked that the members of
the Clnb make a special effort to ex-
tend the glad hand to the delegates
and make them feel that Claremore
is glad to have them within the con-
fines of her gates. He suggested
that the merchants make an effort
to decorate their places of business
for the occasion. An automobile
tour is also planed for the dele-
gates they will be taken to the main
places of interest and on a ride
around the city.
J. Herbert Moore reported that
every effort, possible is being made
to beautify the Missouri-Pacific
park but that the funds are now ex-
rifll; "©estimated that the sum
of $500 will be necessary to complete
the park and maintain it until the
frost comes. To keep the park in
shape a man will have to be employet
to give it his entire attention in.
this will cost $18 a week. Moved by
S. B. North and seconded by II. O.
Hurst that a committee of three be
appointed to raise the $500 bv pub
lie subscription. Carried.
S. B. North advanced the idea of
the business men of Claremore tak-
ing some trade trips, confining the
itinerary to one day's duration and
taking four trips in as many weeks
He suggests that the trips be planned
for a month hence in order that the
h<"nP band may have an opportunity
to vt ready to go along. The trip's
will ls made in automobiles and will
be financed by those who go along
The auto owners who provide the
cars and gasoline will receive $10 per
trip from each passenger. Part of
this money will be spent for adver-
tising to be put out by the Commer-
cial Club, part for the band and the
balance goes to the car owners on
expenses of the trip. Each business
man is also expected to take some ad-
vertising dealing with his individual
business. The purpose of the move-
ment is to better establish Claremore
as a trade center.
Moved by J. Herbert Moore and
seconded by J. F. Flippin that a
committee of four be appointed to
consider the Booster trips from every
view-point, prepare a working plan
for the same and renort hark at the
next meeting of the club. Carried
f- R North. F. S. Walker. L T
Mitchell, and M. Haas were nimed on
th*s committ^.
T. C. Ellis, as chairman of the
committee instructed to prepare for
n Fourth of July celebration this year,
reported that he had found the senti-
ment of the business men to be rather
adverse to holding a celebration this
year and burning up $500 worth of
fireworks when there are so manv
worthy enterprises at this time need-
ing financial support. He asked ex-
pressions from the club members on
the proposition and stated that his
committee was perfectly willing to
continue on the job if desired. Dis-
cussion followed but no decision was
reached. On motion of W. C. Kates
•seconded by M. Haas, the proposi-
tion and final action on same was
deferred to next week's meeting.
Moved by John Mayberry and
seconded by W. C. Kates that a bal-
ance of $20 remaining in the treasury
of the Council of Defense be trans-
ferred to the Big Brothers' Charity
hi,n C1r:,ed- This ,un<|. which has
been used to good advantage in help-
ing those in distress, is exhausted
and needs replenishing.
The Council at its recent meeting
asked that a committee of three from
tnt. Commercial Club be appointed to
assist the Council in devising some
way to get action on the paving
matter. Chairman Willis appointed

The home of Mr. and Mrs S C
Taylor was the scene of a very pretty
affair on Thursday, April 21st, when
the mother gave a surprise party in
honor of her little daughter, Aileene's
tenth birthday. The home was taste-
fully arranged for the occasion. The
little miss had been sent to visit her
grandmother for a few days and re-
turned on the afternoon planned for
the party.When she arrived indoors
she found about forty of her little
schoolmates had gathered to greet
her on this occassion. A number of
useful gifts were presented. An hour
was spent in playing various games
after which dainty refreshments were
•erved to each child from individual
booths. Each child received as a sou-
venir a frosted muffin with a candle
center. At a late hour the little
guests departed for home each
declaring Miss Aileene to be
delightful hostess.

According to R. F. Wright, agent
at the I- risco station who paid a visit
to the scene of the accident Thursday,
the old man could have turned and
walked back to safety with time to

was brought to a stop with all drive

To all County and City Superintendents of Oklahoma:
At the annual convention of the Oklahoma Education Asso-
ciation held in Olahoma City in February, the teachers in at-
tendance went on record unanimously favoring an amendment
to the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma, providing for a
six-mill state-wide tax levy for the support of the common
schools.
A committee selected from the Board of Directors of the
Association, after due delibertion, prepared an amendment,
bringing into counsel some of the best legal talent and submit-
ting the final copy to a member of the Attorney General's office
for approval.
A petition to the governor of Oklahoma, ordering an elec-
tion on the proposed amendment, together with a copy of the
amendment, was filed in the office of the Secretary of State on
April 1, the time limit for securing signers to the petition being
July 1, 1920. A sufficient number of copies of the petition and
amendment to supply all their teachers have been sent by the
secretary of the Association to all county and city superintend-
©nts in the State.
Reports from all over the state, coming to this office, have
thus far been quite favorable, and we note that a great majority
of newspapers of the state are taking up the issue and giving
it their support.
