Horse and Colt
Show Success
FOOTBALL SEASON IS ON
The big horse and colt show held
here Friday and Saturday was' one
of-the most successful affairs prob-
ably ever held in this part of the
state and through the two days of J
almost ideal weather, the biggest j
crowds seen on Geary's streets in |
years were gathered here to attend i
the biggest affair in the history of
Geary. The big affair was more
than was expected by many of those
coming from a distance as the var-!
iotis committees had left nothing
undone in the way of entertainment
and comfort for visitors. There was
the big brass band unrivaled by any
town the size of Geary which furn-
ished music both days. Then there
were numerous attractions for all
in general and a merry-go-round for
the younger folks which was also a
source of delight to many older per-
sons. Everyone seemed wholly sat-
isfied with the efforts of the busi-
ness men to entertain the vast
throng of Geary's guests these two
days.
Many fine horses and colts were
exhibited, besides many varieties of
poultry, farm products, needlework,!
canning and preserving, etc. The 1
awarding of the premiums were left
to wholly outside and disinterested
persons hence there was no chance
for a partial decision and no com-
plaints have been heard from any {
source.
The horse and colt show has be-
come an annual event in Geary and
the celebration this year, it is said, j
was the most successful ever held
here. The business men who mana-
ged the show are especially pleased
over the livestock and agricultural
exhibits, the latter outclassing by
far in every department the Blaine
county exhibit at the state fair.
A plan is on foot to incorporate
the organization for the promotion
of the horse and colt show and
greatly enlarge it. When this is
done it will be placed on a basis
with some of the biggest fairs in
the state.

wers Questions For Tenn. University

IT is always a good policy for farmers to keep enough
of their farm products at home to feed all their stock
well through the winter months. Every farmer who
manages well, by raising lots of feed stuff, then takes
good care of it, keeps all the cattle he can feed, and re-
turn the barn manure to the fields, will undoubtedly
prosper. -------
BUT there are few farmers who do not have some
farm products for the market. It is necessary for
them to have. Then, the money the stuff you market
brings, how are you going to handle it? Manage your
expenses. Urge or small, in the up-to-date way—Have a
checking account here. The check book will make your
funds go further—will post you exacdy on all your ex-
penses, and will enable you to keep dov wakh on your
funds best. No account too small to receive our careful
attention. -------

During the past two weeks we
have been receiving numerous re-
quests for information relative to
game laws of the state of Oklahoma,
also as to the National "Game Laws
applicable to this state. It being
impossible for us to answer each
question by mail as there are so
many who ask the same questions,
we have decided to answer all of a
general nature and those most fre-
1 quently asked through the columns
■ of the Journal, hence if writers do
not receive a reply to their letters
they will find their questions ans-
1 wered in the Journal.

quently asked follow:

Rev. D. T. Morton, who for sev-
eral months has been pastor of the
First M. E. Church at Geary, left
Tuesday afternoon for Athens, Ten-
nessee at which place he will again
enter the university and finish up
his courses. He contemplates spend-
ing at least another year in school
after which he expects to return to
remain indefinitely.
While here, Mr. Morton has
made many friends who are sorry
to see him leave but wish him well
in his recent departure. He was
one of those kind of fellows whom
we all like to have around us, a
good, upright, conscientious and
intelligent young man who is able
to number his friends by his ac-
] quaintances.
He delivered his last sermon at
the M. E. church Sunday evening,
,and talked on the subject of "Faith-
fulness, o r Religious Heroism."
His last sermon at Enterprise was
i delivered at 3:30 Sunday afternoon
| on the subject of "Truth."
A reception was given in his honor
by the members of the church Mon- j
day evening. The departing pastor j
was presented with a hadsome gold
watch.

Free Bulbs For
The Ladies
Through the courtesy of a perso-
nal friend of the editor's, Congress-
man Scott Ferris, the Journal has
received an assortment of tulip and
narcissus bulbs, twenty of each, for
distribution as we see fit. These
bulbs were all carefully selected and
inspected and we have decided to
give them away absolutely free to
the first forty girls or women cal-
ling at this office and requesting one
of the bulbs. The only condition
that, we exact is that the persons
I calling must be a reader of the
Journal, that is, some one in the
family must be a subscriber. This
| is only a fair proposition as all will
j agree with us. We value our pa-
! trons and from time to time will
; have various presents to remind
them of our appreciation for their
support.
All know that the Journal is worth
fully one dollar per year and that
each subscriber is getting the value
of his money. If your subscription
is in arrears it will pay you to pay
up at once before our big Christmas
offer starts, as only subscribers who
are paid in advance at the begin-
ning of the offer will be allowed to
participate.
No new subscribers will be al-
lowed *to take advantage of our
I bulb offer as we are not giving them
a s premiums, understand—t hat
would be unjust to Mr. Ferris and
to the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. You, or some of your fam-
ily must be a subscriber to the
Journal, that is, the Journal must
be a regular visitor in your home.
If you received a copy of the Jour-
nal last week you are eligible for
one of the bulbs providided you are
one of the first forty applying.
The bulbs are now at the Journ-
al office and may be had by just
simply calling for them. Remem-
ber there are only forty of them
and first come will be first served.
Forty will not last longf among our
hundreds of patrons in and around
Geary. Call NOW and be sure to
get yours.
Remember they do not cost you a
cent and we are not giving them as
premiums.
The tulips are an assortment of
several colors, viz: bright deep red,
golden yellow, pink, orange, orange
and red, white, blue, violet, white
and pink, stripped and azure, while
