The Claremore Commercial Club
met in regular session Thursday noon
at the Royal Cafe. S. B. North pre-
sided and the following business was
transacted:
Minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
It was announced that the first
number of the Lyceum Course had
been a success both from point of
interest and finance. The single ad-
mission sales were very gratifying.
The sum of $157. 60 was taken in at
the door and many season tickets had
been sold previously. It was decided to
bold the remaining four numbers in
the Yale instead of the Baptist church
or. account of the down-town loca
tion of the former place.
Moved by P. W. Holtzendorff and
seconded by I>. Ferrara that the Com-
mercial Club back the landscape gar-
dening work in the city schools to the
amount of $50 if needed. Carried.
This motion cnme about through a re-
quest of Prof. W. A. Bevers for the
Club to defray the cost of plants and
l>ulbs to be set out around the school
grounds by the students in a syste-
matic effort to beautify the same.
H. O. Hurst made a brief pica for
liberal support of the Salvation Army
drive now on. The county's quota is
$1,700 divided as follows: Claremore,
$800; Chelsea, $650; Inola, $!>0; Ca-
toosa, $65; Talala. $44; Oolagah, $32;
Foyil, $30
"Rogers county has gone over in
every other drive," he said. " and she
must not fail in this—one of the most
worthy." He mentioned that one of
the towns had already over subscrib-
ed but would not fctate the name of
the town.
Moved by Mrs. L. B. Shaw and
seconded by G. B. Brewer that the
drive be given the endorsement of the
Commercial Club. Carried.
Practice of D. J. Haymes, con-
stable, In arresting strangers from
neighboring states because thev have
no Oklahoma license automobile tag
was discussed. It was pointed out, as
a concrete example, that two strang-
ers with a Missouri license tag were
arrested Thursday on this count
Considerable discussion ensued with
the result that it was determined that
such procedure is giving the town a
"black eye." and should not be per
niitted. One prominent attorney said
such arrests were being made without
authority of the law.
Moved by J. R Blair and seconded
by D. Esco Walker that a committee
be appointed, headed by the Chairman
of the T.aw committee of the Huh to
wait upon Mr Ha.vmes and the local
Justices of the Peace and notify them
that such fines are being imposed un-
lawfully and further notify them to
cease such practices. Carried . P.
W. Holtzendorff, R. H. Wills and
John Q. Adams were named on this
committee.
Mr. North stated that it had come
to his attention many times that three
persons were practicing in the city
without a medical license. He said
this was working harm.
Moved by Dr. Wm. P. Mills and
seconded by F. Y. O'Bannon fhat the
President and Secretary take this
matter up with the State Medical
Board and see if the alleged offenders
can not be prosecuted to the full ex-
tent of the law, and that it is the
Mense of the Commercial Club thai
such procedure be frowned upon.
Carried.
Current claims were allowed on mo-
tion of George E.Feezell, seconded by
If. O. Hurst.
A motion to adjourn carried.
Miss Sylvia Griswold returned

CLAREMORE HAS A CREAM STA-
TION
Claremore has a new industry—a
cream station The Station is loca-
ted at R. L. Thomas Produce House
on Catalayah avenue and is proving
a source of much convenience to the
fanners of this section. They bring
in their cream and get check and can
back in less than a half hour. Under
the old system of individual shipping
they ha<) to wait for both and many
times did not then receive their cans
buck.
Mr. Thomas says he buys fully $100
worth of cream every Saturday and
the business is growng. The cream
so purchased is sent by Mr. Thomas
to Oklahoma City where it is used in
the making of Brookfield butter. One
has but to visit this cream station to
he impressed with the cleanliness of
the place. The interior is done in
v. hite and everything is kept spotless-
ly clean.
The R. L. Thomas Wholesale Pro-
duce house is quite a place. Mr.
Thomas has spent time and money in
installing this business in Claremore
and when it becomes properly adver-
tised bounteous success is seen for the
i.wner who is an expert in this line of
endeavor.

TO ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL FUND
Pona City, Okla., October 3.—James
J McGraw, of this city, Republican
National Committeeman and State
Chairman of the Roosevelt Memorial
Association, today subscribed $500
to the memorial fund, giving his per-
sonel check for that sum t<> James S.
Hutchins, of this city, the chairman
for Kay county. This is the first
subscription for Kay county and per-
haps the second for the State of Okla-
homa, as the first came from Gover-
nor J. B. A. Robertson at his person-
al request.
Accompanying Mr. McGraw's check
was the following notice to Mr.
Hutchins:
"I hand you herewith my check in
the sum of $500, my advance sub-
scription to the Roosevelt Men orial
fund.
"This is, inde- d, a splendid work in
v-hich you are engaged. Yoi. should,

"Theodore Rofs.-selt is i,-moved
from the field of partisan politics.
His memory is the common heritage
of all Americans The difference in
opinion so often emphasized by Col.
Roosevelt himself has been forgotten
in the commendation we have for his
memory. Men of all parties, many
who were his bitter enemies, are now-
anxious to show to the citizens of
America an appreciation of his ac-
tivities for the good of our great coun-
try as a whole.
"Assuring you that I shall be glad
to render you any assistance within
my power, I beg to remain, with as-
surance of my highest personal re-
gards .
Sincerely yours,
J J. McGRAW."

them in marriage.
SCHOOL BONDS DID NOT SELL
The new high school bonds were to
have been sold at E. J. Humphrey's
office Wednesday night, Oct. 1st, but
were not sold because there were no
satisfactory bids. The school land
department has guaranteed par and
the school board will accept nothing
less than this at least.
The Rogers County Poultry Asso-
ciation held a meeting at Mr Mol-
by's office Thursday night to begin
making arrangements for the Fall
Poultry Show.
Mrs. Oscar Button returned to her
home in Denton, Texas, Thursday,
after a pleasant visit in Claremore
with the Feland and Settle families.
The Claremore Commercial Club
election was held Thursday, the bal-
loting being done at the office of the
Secretary—the Progress office. The
new officers will be installed next
Thursday at the annual meeting to be
held at night at the Baptist church.
Little interest was shown in the
election Thursday because there were
no contests . The nominating commit-
tee of the Club placed in nomination
only one person for each office, hence
the balloting was more in the form of
a ratification of the proceedings of
the nominating committee rather than
a selection of candidates for the vari-
ous offices.
R. H. Wills is the new president,
succeeding S. B North, present in-
cumbent. Mr. Wills has all of the
qualifications to properly carry on and
prosper the most excellent work of
Mr North. The future for the Club
and the good it will be able to do for
Claremore looks bright indeed
Following were the selections mad,
at the electioi, Thursday—the officers
and the heads «>f the various commit
tees:

MARINES PROTECT CHILDREN
IN WEST INDIAN SCHOOLS
Puerto, San Domingo, Oct. 4, 1919.
Under the protection of United States
Marines 600 rudimentary schools have
been opened in the country districts
of the island republic in which about
one half of the children are being
taught.
Before the pacification of the Do-
minican Republic by the Marines there
were practically no schools for the
poorer classes. Even where there
were schools, parents were often
afraid to send their children to them
along roads and trails infested with
bandits.
Every village in which a school is
located is now guarded by Marines or
the native "Guardia" commanded by
Uncle Sam's sea-soldiers. During th
school season special protection is
given to the children and their teach
ers with the result that parents are
sending their children to school in
greater numbers than ever before.
THESE MEN

license tag, arrested in Claremore

authority by making such arrests.
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. McClellan and
G. D Davis returned Friday night
from St. Louis, Mo., where they at-
tended the American Bankers Asso-
iation, reporting a most interesting,
instructive and enjoyable session.
Some of the most prominent speakers
in the United States addressed the
Convention.
It was four years ago that Dr. J.
I Means, working for the Commer-
cial Club, thought out the same sew-
er Improvements that are being car-
. ied out at present as a permanent
cure for the mosquito situation.

WANTS MEETING OF LEAGUE IN
NOVEMBER
Paris, Oct. 5.— Premier Clemen-
ceau has written Col. E. M. House,
a member of the American peace dele-
gation, urging that a meeting of the
league of nations be held in Wash-
ington under the chairmanship of
President Wilson early in November
Both Teams Found INfliculty in Using
Open Style Because Ball Was
Wet and Slipper)
Claremore won ;he first football
game of the season here Saturday
afternoon when Coach Bradley's pro
tegees of the Oklahoma Military Acad-
emy defeutcd the team from the Chel-
sea H igh School by a score of 33 to
0 The Military Academy had Chel-
sea outclassed in every department of
the game and the visitors were at no
time considered dangerous except once
"hen a Chelsea runner intercepted a
Claremore forward pass and started
for the Academy's goal. Louis l,es
tcr by a pretty tickle, howe ver, ended
the Chelsea hopes.
Practically the entire game was
played in a driving rain which forced
many of the spectators to go home
to keep from being drenched. Offie
ials and players, however, heedless of
the dowr -pour continued. They wen-
soaked Joe Chambers refereed the
came and was considered unusually
fair in the administration of |x-nalt.\
decisions. The Academy, mostly be
cause of off-side playing received the
major portion of the penalties assess-
ed. Due to an off-side play once.
Murle Cline. who had made a beau-
tiful 35-yard run through a broken
field for a touchdown was forced to
come back . Not daunted in the least
by the hard luck though, Cline du-
plicated the trick a few minutes later
for a counter of six for the Academy.
On account of the rain, the slipper,
condition of the ball anil the grounds
neither team could put into plav suc-
cessfully the open style football al
which the Academy has always been
adept. Many forward passes were
tried by both teams but few failed ti>
reach completion.
The Military Academy would with-
out doubt have piled an even larger
score against the visitors had it not
been for the fact that two of the best
players on the team were kept out of
the game as punishment for an offense
committed in violation of the rules
and regulations of the school The
unexpected absence of these two men,
the names of whom will not be given
as they have been punished enough
by having to miss the game, demora-
lized the Academy backfield to a no-
ticeable degree. The boys at times
appeared confused as to their signals.
This ruined many a good play and
■ lit down to a marked degree the effi-
ciency of the whole team's playing.
James Hanimett, center, got knocked
out with an injury to the head early
in the game and a green center went
in This, too, had its effect on the
score which rightly should have climb-
ed well past the half-hundred mark,
the comparative playing ability of
both teams taken into consideration.
Smoky Gourd went over for the
first touchdown for the locals early
in the contest Murle Cline made thi-
ol her four. Out of five tries at goal
after touchdown the Academy booted
over three. Cline might easily be
termed the star of Saturdav's game
He was good for a gain almost an\
time Captain lister saw fit to send
him skirting round the ends or thru
the line. The whole team has prom
ise of developing into an ef -' tive or
ganization able to cope with the bes'
high school team in the state with
even chances to win.
Coach Bradley says no more games
will be seheduloil on Saturday. Fri
day will be the day. The game last
week, in spite of the fact that many
were prevented from witnessing it on
account of it being Saturday, was a
financial success, nevertheless Some
$35 was cleared. The next game will
be with Wagoner High School on the
local ground next Friday afternoon.
A. D. LANE IS HONE;
HE WAS DECORATED
Denny Lane returned home Sunday
night from more than 16 months
spent in France and occupied Ger
many. Since after the armistice was
signed Denny has been engaged in
Y. M. C. A. service. He is looking
fine and has had a varied experience
but is glad to get back home.
Denny was decorated for bravery.
Single-handed he silenced a machine
gun nest and captured three Germans
and their machine gun. This wasae-
lomplisheil after he had been wounded
and two of his companions killed bv
the machine gun crew. As Lane fell
with his companions the Germans
thought they had killed all three ami
advanced to where the boys had fal-
lon on the ground. There were five
Germans. Denny, instead of being
ii'ead proved to be a "live" one. Two
Germans "went west." as the result of
his revolver fire and the other three
preceded him to the American lines.
It was a big chance he took but it
worked just as it did with other Ainer
it an boy s who would rather have died
than fall prisoners to the Germans.
