OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
Number 21
STATE POPULATION IS
Government Guess for January 1917,
is 2,245,968. Opinions of Officials
x Vary on Subject
Oklahoma City, Nov. '29—When
the New Year is ushered in Oklahoma
will have attained a population of
2,245,968, according to an estimate
compiled by the federal census bureau
at Washington, D. C. This estimate
is upheld by various federal and sta-
is upheld by various federal and state
officials as conservative, while others
declare the census bureau overshot
its mark.
The estimate places the population
of the United States proper at 102,-
826,309. and the United States and all
her possessions 113,309,285.
"Very conservative," was Secretary
of State Lyon's comment on the esti-
mate as regarding Oklahoma. "I
made an estimate recently that gave
the state 2,500,000."
Postmaster Weaver aserted his be-
lief that the estimate is not far from
correct. Government census esti-
mates usually are very accurate, he
said.
"There has been a greater growth
in the state than most people real-
ize," Mr. Weaver declared. "All parts
of the state have gotten a share of
the increase, but the oil and mining
field have had the heaviest growth."
C. E. Hoke, manager of the federal
department of farm management, be-
lieves the state's population is well
over 2,225,000 and not far from 2,-
500,000. His calculations are based on
information gathered during trips
over the state.
P. M. Gault. president of the state
board of agriculture, regards the es-
timate as about 240,000 too high.
"I have compiled an estimate from
reports which have been sent in by
our crop reporters," he said, "and I
have placed the population for Jan-
uary 1 at approximately 2,002,000."
The census of 1910 gave Oklahoma ;
1,7.00.000.
MAIL PACKAGES EARLY
Washington, Nov. 29.—Expecting
heavier Christmas mails than ever
before because of "the general pros-
perity prevalent throughout the
country," Postmaster General Burle-
son today announced he had begun
through postmasters a Nation-wide
"mail early" campaign.
Postmasters have been authorized
to employ all possible means to deliv-
er the holiday mail and have been
instructed to advertise suggestions to
the public that parcels be mailed ear-
ly, addressed plainly and wrapped se-
curely; that care be taken to affix
sufficient postage and that parcels
may be endorsed "Not to be opened
until Christmas."

OF OBEDIENCE
NEVER REPEALED
Law of Health Must be Recognized
Same as State and National Codes
.Or Penalty is Always to Pay
The law of obedience has never
been repealed. Since the command-
ments demanded that children should
honor their parents it has been en-
cumbent upon us to obey. Yet there
are many adults who have never
learned to obey.
AH of us must sooner or later obey
a higher authority. The laws of
health require obedience; the laws of
the state and the nation must have
recognition. When laws are violated
the penalty must be paid. The same
is true with the unwritten laws of
society, the customs of the neigh-

Daniels awarded contracts today to
private builders for more than sixty-
five million dollars' worth of new
lighting ships for the navy, includin-,'
four battleships at $11,000,000 each,
two fleet submarines at approximate-
ly $1,190,000 each, and twenty-seven
coast submarines at from $694,000 to
$698,000 each.
The vessels comprise tile bulk of
the great building program of sixt;,-
six craft, various types, appropriated
for by the last session of congress.
Bids for four battle cruisers will be
received Dec. 6 next, and for three
scout cruisers on Jon. 3, with tbe
hope of completing the task of get-

least three more battleships, one bat-
tle cruiser and a proportionate nun,

three-year construction program. The

the navy will carry a total of nearly
four hundred million dollars.
