April 30, 1914.
Mr. Wm Teurman,
Cordell, Okla.
Dear Sir:
Did you know that Bob Barman won the 200 mile auto
race Thursday on Diamond Gasoline? Bob says ' lt Is sure
s3ne gas.'' And the only perfect non-stop record was aide
by a car using both Diamond Gasoline and Oreo Motor Oil.
Tne 99 mile Oklahoma race was won last week on Diamond Gas-
oline and Oreo Motor Oil. Do you wonder we are proud of
our products? Dpn" t miss a chance to tell all the auto
owners in your town what Diamond Gasoline can do, and see if
you cannot line up s^me new business for the best gasoline
in Oklahoma.*
Yours truly,
OKLAHOMA REFINING COMPANY.

THE WAGES OF SIN
The average man. even though made
somewhat cynical by the callousing
effect of everyday events, will not
grudge the Indiana election crooks a
few Jests on their way to Fort Leaven-
worth to serve terms for outrageous
ejection crimes. Ho will hardly, how-
ever, enter into the spirit of the con'
dolenoes which were extended to the
crooks along the line. Some of the
sympathizers commented ui>on the
"tough luck" of which they were the
victims;" but as a matter of fac!
there Is not one in the gang who di es
not deserve to be in prteon or who

what he knew to be absolutely crlm

THE FREE FAIR BILL.
The recent legislature. realizing the
importance of county fairs to the agri-
cultural growth and development of
the state, passed a law giving the couu
ties the right to levy a small annual
fund for the maintenance of the county
fuir. This levy must not exceed ono-
fourth mill and it is safeguarded In a
way to prevent its unwise use.
The law. which is now In effect,
provides for township and county fairs
the expense to be paid fryjn county
taxation, but only in counties wlii< !.
now have or may hereafter have coun-
ty farm demonstration agents. The
procedure to be adopted is for the
agent to call a mass meeting In any
township of his county for the pur-
lose of electing two township members
of a county fair association. Twenty
or more tax-paying voters must aitei.d
When a majority of th" township*
have so elected, the board of county
commissioners may declare the act in
force for the county and the count;
excise board may levy a tax to ex
ceed one-fourth mill for'the supi>ort oi
the free fair
Township fairs shall be held not
later than three days prior to the coui
y fair, an<i winning exhibits may then
be taken at county expense to the
county fair. Winnirg exhibits at th<
latter may also be taken at count}
expense to the state fair.
County fairs may be held In any
town that will furnish the grounds
and buildings free. There shall be
no entry fees on exhibits at any town
hip or county fair and admission to
the grounds shall be free. Tho law
Is now In force and county agents are

plans. A county fair circuit, with

products has already been arratifi" 1

FRAUDULENT PIANO AGENT
OPERATING ABOUT CORDELL
It has come to our notice that a certain unscrupulous, unreliable
piano agent, operating about and In Cordell for an Oklahoma
City house, is permitted by his house to abuse us and our nauie
and our goods in every Imaginable way. With the people who
know < ur well establi shed, firm and our reliability, such knock
Ing will have no effect. And we believe our well esUbllshed
name is known by a big majority of the people in the State of
Oklahoma and respected f>> them Yet there may be some with
whom such slanderous talk may 'have au effecL A knot k should
always be considered a boost by everybody. The Dltxell Music
Co. never allow* any of llieir lueii U> loudeuin any one or any
line of goods, much more allow themselves to be so Ill-bred as
to be slanderous with their competitors.
The Dltsell Music Co. talk their own business and their goods
and if they have to speak of their competitor, they will .peak well of them or not at all. but if we
sre attacked we will fight lor our rights.
Our new selling method of wbolessling all our pianos to our entire retail trade has stirred up piano
buyers all through the southwest, way beyond our expectation, and ha. Increased our business largely
which undoubtedly Is the cause of the attacks on us. Our policy Is to sell to only responsible parties on
from six months to 30 months time or cash snd on only a smsll wholesale margin ba.ed on selling
large quantities of pianos, instead of a few piano, and large margins
