PECK'S BAD BOY
Peck's Bad Boy which comes to the
Yale Theatre on Saturday, matinee
and night, has probably broken more
house records this season than any-
other two plays entour.
This grand old play of Boyville re-
fuse-. to grow old, but remains as
fresh and as young as youth itself.
Peck's Bail Boy has been before the
public for over a quarter of a century,
an.I its hold on theatre goers is one of
the marvels of stage history.
It has no ruined heroines, deep dyed
villains or suffering hero, but is just
futi. fun fast and furious from the
time the curtain rises until its final
fall Just youth and laughter, lights
and olor, dance and song.
If you are worried about the high
>st of living, or anything else come
and -tee Peck's Bad Boy, he will make
you forget your troubles.
All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy, whether the boy be five or
fifty.
The management promise the best
cast nt actors, singers and dancers
the play has ever had, together with
a beautiful scenic equipment.
VITAL STATISTICS
By Arthur R. Lewis
(State Health Commissioner)
There has been a vast improvement
n the last two months in the amount
of vital statistics we are receiving
from registrars all over the state.
I.ast month, for instance, there were
reports received from every district
in 19 counties, as follows:
Adair, Atoka. Cherokee, Cimarron,
Cleveland. Delaware. Garfield, Grant,
Haskell. Jefferson, Latimer, LeFlore,
Love, Marshall, Murray, Noble, Ok-
"lhe new by-laws were prepared bv
a committee headed by Attorney P*.
W. Holtzendorff. They are a wide
departure from the old by-laws un-
der which the Club has been ot>erat-
ing. The new ones have been made
modern and in conformitv with the
nianner in which the Club has found
it advantageous to carry on the busi-
ness of the body.
The Board of Directors of the Com-
mercial Club is composed of the fol-
lowing committee heads: A A
Dennison, J. Herbert Moore, S C
Vinson, G. D. Davis, Carl L. Tanner,
H O. Hurst, II. H. Makemson, P
W Holtzendorff, Morris Haas, C B
Littlefield, W. C. Kates, J Q.
Adams, J. W. Mayberry, Robson
Storey, F. S. Walker, T C. Ellis,
Blaine Taylor, R. R. Heath, E. W
Martin, E. E. Woods and Paul W
Fry.
the new by-laws will be submitted
to the Club proper, with the recom-
mendation for adoption. Thursday
noon. The Club proper may then
either adopt or reject just as the
membership sees fit.
WARNING TO PURCHASERS OF
NURSERY STOCK
It has come to the knowledge of the
Board of Agriculture of Oklahoma
that on account of the scarcity of bud-
ded fruit stock throughout the United
States and a great demand for nur-
sery stock of all kinds, that a num-
ber of unscrupulous nurserymen are
contemplating filling their orders with
seedling trees. There is no estimate
to the damage that this will do to the
fruit growers of Oklahoma, inasmuch
as they will not be able to discover
this fraud until the trees come into
bearing.
All purchasers of nursery, stock who
are expecting delivery of nursery
stock this Fall or next Spring, are
therefore warned to examine these
deliveries carefully and see that they
are budded trees. If you are not able
to discern this for yourself, notify this
Department or call in some one in
your neighborhood who does know
budded fruit.
If you are anticipating the delivery
of fruit trees in the near future, it
might be well for you to notify this
Department at once of the amount and
kind of trees that yeu have bought
and from whom you have purchased
them We will then be in a better po-
sition to judge whether these persons
from whom you have purchased are
reliable and be in a better position to
advise you in regard to the matter.

PECK'S BAD BOY.
There is one big, jolly, laughing,
musical, dancing night in store for
both young and old at the Yale Thea-
tre on Saturday, October 25, when
that grand old play of American
youth, Peek's Bad Boy, will be the of-
fering.
This is the boy who never grew up,
the boy who found the secret of per-
petual youth. The same boy who de-
ighted you as a child, and the same
boy who will continue to delight your
children when the gold or raven of
their hair, like yours, is tinged with
gray.
Everything new but the boy is the
promise of the management.
A new and expensive production,
and the best company of actors, sing-
ers, dancers and vaudeville artists
that have ever appeared in this pleas-
ing comedy.
That's fair, isn't it?
R. E. Griener, manager of the New
York 10c store is a specialist in the
10c store business and having been
so successful in that line he decided
to take a chance on larger game.
Having talked Mr. North into letting
him have relief from business for a
couple of days to take a "business
trip" he wasted no time in wending
his way to Wichita, Kansas where he
met the "only girl" in all the world
Miss Cecil Wolf of Haven. Kansas
and as the old story goes they joined
hands and the few words were spok-
en and changed the lives of another
couple.
Mr. Griener is a sterling young man
of pleasing personality and has a
promising business future ahead of
him and he has indeed used excellent
judgment in selecting Miss Wolf as
life partner for she is a beautiful
ell educated, highly talented young
lady and will receive a hearty wel-
come into Claremore soociety.

CLUB.
A. A. Dennison. F. S Walker. R.
!$' 'Jutton, II. II. Makemson and L.
C. Haggard, the committee having
the drive jn charge to raise funds for
the Roosevelt Memorial, has made ar-
rangements for donations to the fund
to be received at any of the banks in
the city. Therefore, if you are not
solicited for a donation you may make
one at the bank.
The Roosevelt Memorial Associa-
tion has been organized for the fol-
lowing purposes:
To provide memorials in accordancc
with the plans of the National Com-
mittee which will include the erection
of a suitable and alequate monumental
memorial in Washington: acquiring,
development and maintenance of a
park in the town of Oyster Bay which
may ultimately, perhaps, include Sag-
amore Hill, to be preserved like Mount
Vernon and Mr. Lincoln's home at.
Springfield.
A campaign to raise a minimum of
$10,000,000 from millions of subscrib-
ers will be conducted during the week
of October 20 to 27. It is desired to
make this a distinctly popular move-
ment.
It is easily expected that Rogers
county will raise the $1,500 expected
and assigned. A. A. Dennison is at
the head of the movement and is leav-
ing no stones unturned to assure the
county going over the top with the
neeessarf quota.

At the conclusion of the Annual
Methodist Conference at Oklahoma
City Monday, Rev. Howard Thomison
was returned to Claremore for anoth-
er year. This is a reward surely de-
served as aside from his fishing pro-
clivities he is also a fisher of men and
has accomplished more for the church
the past year than was ever accom-
plished before in twice the time. Fact
of the business is the crowd has out-
grown the present quarters and a new
and commodious structure is now in
contemplation. The present member-
ship of the church is about .'560, and
the average attendance of the Sunday-
School is approximately 2:10. The
church official board agreed at its
last meeting to a well deserved raise
in salary for the coming year. Wel-
come, Howard Thomison and estimable
family.

WINTON MAYMES BRINGS HOME
A BRIDE
Winton Haymes, of Foyil, has
brought home a bride. Recently he
was married to Miss Grace Donnahue,
of Stillwater. Winton is well known
in Claremore. At one time he attend-
ed the Eastern University Prepara-
tory school and played on the foot-
ball team with the writer of this
item and well do we remember how
"Big" used to bowl them over when
the signal was passed.
Uncle John M. Taylor is expected
home from Washington, D. C., this
month. He has been there for some
five or six months in the interest of
Indian legislation guaranteeing pay-
ment of moneys to the Eastern and
Western Cherokees for land seized by
the government and allotted to ne-
groes after the war.
