Rural Schools Association Of Roger

About Needed Legislation
STATE AID FOR RURAL SCHOOLS
County Superintendent Brewer Ad-
dresses Letter To Fellow Supts
To Secure Co-operation
The school boards and others of
Roger Mills County who are inter-
ested in the improvement of niial
schools of the slats have oiganizud
a Rural Schc'ls Association cf Rog-
er Mills count and hi'e set to work
to bring about a state organization
that will insist upon the passage of
a bill providing for state aid for
Consolidated schools Co Supt W
F Brewer Is heartily in favor of
State aid and is working in con-
junction with the Rural schools as-
sociation of which he Is a member
to achieve legislation in favor of it
Mr Brewer has addressed a letter to
every county superintendent of the
Btate In an effort to bring about
county organizations tliroughou t
the state to work for rural school
improvement Mr Brewer is very
active in this matter and is hope-
ful of receiving the hearty co-operation
of other superintendents of
the state in bringing about needed
relief to consolidated schools His
letter follows:
Cheyenne Okla July 6 1922
Dear Superintendent:
other candidate on the Republican
On account of the position you tlcket
we can conscientiously say
that he Is an honorable upright cit
izen worthy of public confidence
and If elected at the November elec
tion would make Roger Mills Coun-
ty a good assessor?
We commend Mr’ Macklin to the
Republican voters of Roger Mills
County as being worthy ’ of their
support and confidence
hold we know that you are vitally
interested in the rural schools of
the state and stand ready to do any-
thing within your power to promote
thorn and to assist the boys ' and
girls on the farm representing a
very large per cent of the boys and
girls of the state to secure at least
a high school education In view of
this fact we are addressing you this
letter In an effort to secure your
active co-operation- in bringl n g
about legislation that will give the
needed assistance to the rura 1
schools of the state
The Consolidated school is no
longer in the experimenTal ge
but is a provpn success Tu -ny
serious problem that enters into
most of the consolidated schools is
that of transportation In practic-
ally every county in the state the
valuation -is not sufficient to raise
funds to maintain a seven or eight
months school If this cannot be
done our best step in advancement
of rural schools is seriously hamper-
ed A remedy must be found
What will it be?
In this county we have an organi-
zation known as the Rural Schools
Association of Roger Mills County
which has for its purpose the gen-
eral Improvement of rural schools
and the securing of legislation for
state aid for transportation in Con-
solidated and tfnion Graded schools
Through the efforts of this organi-
zation many legislators havs pledg
ed support in bringing about the
needed relief If we can get legis-
lation that will give state aid for
transportation our consolida ted
school problem ‘will be solved and
we can put an accredited high
school within reach of every boy
and girl in (he state of Oklahoma
The state institutions are main-
tained by appropriations made by
the legislature Large sums of mon-
ey are spent each year on less than
a dozen state schools Why not a
small amount be appropriated for
the rural Consolidated schools of the
state? Surely no appropriat i o n
could be made that would directly
benefit a greater number of people
The Oklahoma Teachers Associa-
tion and the State Grange favor
state aid for Consolidated and Union
Graded schools So It now remains
for the school boards of the state
to organize and demand that their
representatives in the state legisla-
ture do all theey can to secure legis-
lation for this purpose Can we
count on you to assit in bringing
about a county organizayon in your
county to work with our organiza-
tion in perfecting a state organiza-
tion that will be of sufficient
strength to get results?
As soon as any action is taken In
this direction please communicate
with some officer of the Rural
Schools Association of Roger Mills
County
Yours very truly

candlcacy of H D Mackiln repub
lican candidate for County Assess-
or of Roger Mills County
Mr Macklin is a farmer who re
sides south of this city and is re

a good citizen who has been placed
on the republican ticket by his
friends and admirers He is amply
qualified for the office of County

litical faith from that of the editor
of the Star and we have no intention
of suppbrting Mr Macklin or any
REV MARTIN RECEIVES
SNAKE BITE
Bro Martin well known to all
citizens of the county as a minister
of the Chiistlan church received a
snake bite the latter part of last
week while plowing in his field
He reached down to take a weed off
the plow when the snake bit him
The snake was a rattler we are in-
formed Bro Martin applied home
remedies then came to town to the
doctors for their treatment The
bite was pretty severe but Bro Mar-
tin is getting along alright It
takes more than a snake bite to put
him down

WILSON LEADING ON EAST
SIDE OF THE STATE
Without detracting one whit from
Owen and Wullpn we are of the
opinion that Bob Wilson has taken
a good lead on the east side of the
stale und if he cun maintain wliut
he now has he will win' out over
here by a big majority After his
speech heie last week many men
came out for him because he proved
himself a big man He said not a
word against any of his opponents
and said that in case he was defeat-
ed in the primray he was ready to
take the field for either of them
Bob will do that because he is a
real democrat and puts party inter-
est above selfishness It is a little
early to make predictions but our
prediction is that he will win the
nomination with votes to spare and
he Is beating two strong men in the
deal The Btate will be in safe
hands if Bob makes a landing — Po-

The Tale of a Car-
nival Joke That Led
to Grim Realities
The
Mardi Gras
Mystery
By II BEDFORD-JONES
The setting of this charm-
ing story is not the New
Or leans which General Jack-
son defended neither is it
the New Orleans of George
W Cable but the modem
commercial metropolis
made rich by shipping in-
dustrialism and the devel-
opment of oil sulphur and
other nearby resources
However the author does
throw in some of the atmos-
phere that still clings to the
historic place in the un-
diminished gayeties of
Mardi Gras and Mi-Careme
and in glimpses of “Caju-
nism” and the surviving
pride and hospitality of
Creole aristocracy
It is an engaging narrative
in every respect with a de-
lightful love interest two
heroes of most contrasting
types and a mystery that
will capture you and keep
you guessing until the end

high The score stood 10 to 11 in
favor of Cheyenne Tuesday the

OKLAHOMA CROP NOTES
The Southwest Wheat Improve-
ment Association is comprised of the
entire agricultural and business
community' Its purpose is not to
give advice but to direct atterlon
to and stimulate Interest In the
problems relating to the Southwest’s
principal crop— WHEAT
We all profit If we increase the
yield per acre and produce tlie
quality of wheat that will make the
very best flour and will therefore
command the best price -The story
of quality and its value will be told
and should be talked on every oc-
casion It will be carried- to every
community In exhibits by word of
mouth and by printed page It will
be measured in dollars and cents
that all of us the farmer the grain
buyer and the business public may
know and profit
It is estimatde by good authority
that wheat growers in the southwest
los approximately 16 million dollars
in 1921 due to the low quality of
a portion of their wheat crop most
of which was preventable Many
of the same factors which caused
low grades also caused low yields
The principal factors causing this
loss were:
Poor tilage weevil and smut in-
ferior seed mixed wheat rye weeds
and trash bleaching — too much ex-
posure sprouting and beating wet
handling wastage — in harvest and
handling All of these causes were
preventable No single individual
no particular community is to blame
for the fact that 40 per cent of all
the wheat grown In the Southwest
is off quality and causes these losses
As a matter of fact all of us who
are engaged in the production and
handling of wheat are in part re-
sponsible NONE OF US ARE CARE-
FUL ENOUGH
Let us observe at present the fol-
lowing fuundamentals so esential to
the solution of the better seed
wheat problem Give he e d to
shocking stacking threshing' and
binning Right now select good
seed for this fall’s planting being
careful to detect mixtures rye nox-
ious weeds smut etc In stacks of
headed wheat care must be taken to
avoid heating
It is reported from Fort Gibson
Oklahoma that more than three-
fourths of the POTATO crop In the
Ft Gibson river bottoms have been
marketed At this writing it was
expected that the entire crop will
have been moved 350 cars had
been shipped up to June 28th
White potatoes were averaging 100
bushels to the acre while some
fields have produced as high as 150
bushels Red potatoes were report-
ed as yielding less
COTTON has been very much im-
proved by the hot dry weather and
practically all the acreage has been
cleaned and chopped The plants
are growing rapidly and blooms are
noticed in many Instances A large
amount of calcium arsenate Is being
shipped into the state and farmers
are purchasing dusters and oil
catchers preparatory to waging a
strenous effort in the control of the
weevil Much interest is being tak
en in the cotton drag and anyone
wishing information as to how to
build a proper drag may get In
touch with the Board of Agricul-
ture J A WHITEHURST

E STRIKE III
Excitement Runs High When DriU
Penetrates Gas Sand In Tvin
HiU Well Near Sayre
10000000 FEET DAILY OUTPUT
Well Is Being Drilled By Baker Oil
Company Of Wichita Kans Now
Drilling At 2737 Feet
The Baker Oil Company drilling
southeast of Sayre in wbat is known'
as the Twin Hill well struck a vein
of gas sand last Saturday morning
at 2737 feet which has caused con-
siderable excitement and expectancy
Drilling has been suspended until
six inch casing can be secured to
guarantee safety and eliminate the
danger In losing the well It is es-
timated that 10000000 feet of gas
is flowing from the well daily with
considerable showing of crude oil
The conservation officer of the Cor-
poration Commission is expected any
time to gauge the well thus deter-
mining the exact amount of gas
flow
A sufficient showing has been
found in the Twin Hill well to jus-
tify the drilling of other wells in
that vicinity It is said that the
gas from this well will be used in
drilling other wells
AL BROWN OF TULSA
CONTRACT TO DRILL
A1 Brown of Tulsa entered into a
contract with the Lone Elm Com
pany of Hammon last Friday to dnll
a test well on its holdings eight
miles northwest of Hamming The
contract provides that drilling be
commenced at once and continue to
a depth of 3500 feet or until 'oil 'is
found
This will be received as good news
to the people of this section as it
shows that wildcatting has again
been revived and chances for the re-
sumption of work on Cheyenne well
are good Although Just as we re-
ceive word of the drilling contract
for a test near Hammon and the
Btrike of gas at Sayre word is re-
ceived from Mr Porter that the’ West -Virginia
Company has fallen down
and that be is at this time without
any definite assurance of a contract
to finish the well at this place
