I
Fraternal Societies of City to Have an
Addition in Near Future-Deputy
Is Here to Start the Work.
The fraternal societies represented in
the city are to receive un addition to
their number. The Court uf Honor, of
Springfield, III., whose State Manager
W. B. Kieft. of Oklahoma City, is now
here, will establish a local branch or
Distriet Court in Hobart. The local
work will l u in charge of Special |Dep-
uty Bessie M. (Srahain, and Dr. A. L.
Wagoner as Medical Examiner.
The Court of Honor is recognised as it
leader among the fruternalists of this
country, having stood for the adoption
of ndeijuate rntes and the placing of
these societies upon a basis which
would insure tbeir permanency. It is
now operating upon plans which com-
ply with the stringent requirements of
the Oklahoma statutes regarding the
admission of new societies into the state
although in common with many other of
the older societies it was exempted from
that part of the law requiring tho ad-
option of adequate rates.
It is now doing bueines in over twen-
ty states, has 65,000 members, 1,200
lodges or courts, has paid out over
16,000,000, and has over $1,551,000 invest-
ed in gilt-edge seurities for protection
of its contracts. These securities are
deposited with the insurance depart-
ment of the state of Illinois.
The Court of Honor admits both men
and women, between 16 and 55, to mem-
bership in its benefit and relief depart-
ments. Through the latter sick and
accident benefits are paid.
Fraternal societit s, like to Court of
Honor, are a welcome addition to tho
local institutions, because of the good
accomplished by them, not only through
the death benefits paid, but through
the fraternal and social features, which
are characteristic of these orders.

BOYS' CORN GROWING CONTEST.
A GREAT LIVE STOCK SHOW.
The officers and directors of the Ok-
lahoma State Fair association now
have arrangements practically com-
plete for the third annual fair to be
held at Oklahoma City September 29
to October 8, inclusive, and from the
vast amount of work that has been
accomplished since last year the peo-
ple of the southwest will be invited
to attend what will probably prove the
greatest fair held west of the Missis-
sippi river. The fair will be held rain
or shine and with the numerous im-
provements made, this year "wet days
If any. will prove just as interesting
to the sightseers as dry aa/s, because
the fair will be running full blast in
each and every department. The fair
last year was a success from every
point of view and with increased ex-
hibits this year it will be greater and
better than ever.
One of the big features of the fair
this year will be the live stock depart-
ment The premiums have been large-
ly increased and the classifications re-
arranged. In revising the live Btoclr
classifications the association has en-
deavored as far as it could consistently
to adhere to the recommendations of
th« different registry associations an-.'
also added liberally to th« premium
offers in each department. With prop-
er co-operation of the breeders of this
and adjoining states Oklahoma's 1909
live stock show will he far superior io
any live stock show ever held in the
southwest. Exhibitors will be In at-
tendance from many of the great live
stock communities in the United States
and with more commodious accommo-
dations each and every exhibitor will
be well pleased. The exhibits this year
will he national in character and from
the entries already secured it is evi-
dent that this department will be „
the highest standard and highly bene,
fialal to breeders and visitors.
One of the big features of the Okla-
homa State Pair to be held at Okla-
homa City September 29 to October
8 will oe the corn growing contest
for boys residing in the five districts
of the state. Competition will be open
to boys 16 years old and' under. AH
exhibits must be grown in 1909. The
same individual will not be permitted
to enter in both classes and it has
been decided that the exhibits shall
consist of 10 ears, express charges to
be paid by the exhibitor. Entries in
this contest close Saturday, September
25. All exhibits must be in place not
later than 6 o'clock, September 38.
Corn will be scored by the judge of
the corn exhibit on scale of points ad.
opted by the department of Agronomy,
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
school of Stillwater. Where an ex-
hibit has no competition it will bo
awarded first, second and third, or no
premium, according to its merits. The
premium money will be so divided that
the sum of $100 will go to winners in
each of the five districts. In addition
to the cash money several valuable
prizes will be given by merchants and
others.
FINEST OF LIVE STOCK.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
agricultural exhibits will be one of the
big features of the Oklahoma State
Fair to be held at Oklahoma City Sep-
tember 29 to October 8 the people of
Oklahoma should not overlook the fact
that at the fair will be shown the be3t
cattle, best horses, best sheep, and the
best swine not only in Oklahoma but
in all the United States. The exhibits
this year in every department will be
t unexcelled in scope and quality. At
the fair will also be shown the best
machinery and the latest inventions
and if a farmer wishes to buy intelli-
gently and wisely he will find it to hi3
advantage to visit the fair where he
can make whatever line In which he Is
Interested the object of his special
study.
While motoring to Port Saturday after-
noon in his 81,250 Reo touring car, and
accompanied by bis wife, P.J. Williams,
salesman for the Oliver typewriter, met
with a pecuiar accident, in which his
automobile was totally destroyed by
fire.
Without tbe least warning, flames
burst from beneath the car, and the oc-
cupants barely escaped being severely
burned. Being without water, and a
distance from a place where the flames
could be quenched, the car was burned
of every flammable part, and only the
iron works remained to tell the story.
N. E. Medlock happened along, and
brought Mr. and Mrs. Williams to Ho-
bart.
Mr. Williams bought the car several
months ago from the Citizens' Auto Co.,
in order to make the surrounding inland
towns. He was paying for the car on
tbe installment plan out of his salary,
thus making the loss doubly unfortu-
nate.
APPLE CROP ABROAD SHORT
Foreign Countries Look to United
States to Supply the Demand.
SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 22-Ben H.
Rice, secretary-manager of the National
Apple Show, Inc , has received advises
from London, Liverpool, Dublin and
Hamburg, which indicate that because
of the shortness of the crop in Europe
there will be a large demand for Ameri-
can apples the coming fall and winter,
with the promise of better' prices than
in former years. The apple crop in Eng-
land is reported to be far below the aver-
age and there is an increased demand,
not only for fancy fruits but also for
medium grades. Robert P. Skinner,
United States consul, writes from Ham-
burg, there is a larger demand in Ger-
many for American apples, adding that
this European business can be increased
by sending only the best fruit and hon-
est packs. Growers'in the Northwest-
ern states and provinces are preparing
to send large consignments of fruit
abroad this season.
Found the Pole
Dr. Frederick A. Cook, in a recent dis-
patch to friends in Copenhagen, an-
nounces that he has at last discovered
the north pole. The fact of the doctor's
being an american adds double luster to
America's fame. The doctor reports
mmy queer things in this new world.
In a dispatch to bis home folks he nays
that in many instances the natives are
far in advance of modern ideas. He dis-
covered that they had been burning
crude oil for centuries. He tried to sell
some contracts there for burners but
found that another man had been there
just ahead of him selling$5,000contracts
for $50. Among the souvenirs the doc-
tor is bringing home is a walking cane
made from the tip end of the pole.—Foss

Paris, Sept. 17—While crowds were
swarming a market place in High,
Morrocco, this morning, a powder
magazine exploded, instantly killing
200 persona and blowing their bodies
to atoms. Many buildings and houses
were demolished.
HEAVY DAMAGE IN
SOUTHERN STATES
St. Louis, Sept. 21—A gulf hurricane
is moving up the Mississippi. Much pro-
perty has been damaged at Bilito, Nat-
chez, and Vicksburg. At Memphis a
large hotel was unroofed and many
buildings damaged.
New oceans is cut off from cummuni-
cation and immense damage is believed
to have resulted there and in the sur-
rounding country.
EXPLORER PEARY
LANDS AT SYDNEY
Sydney, Sept. 21—The Roosevelt,
bearing Commader Robert E. Peary
and his party arrived here this morning.

bay and he was given a noisy welcome.

The mayor and American consul official-
ly welcomed him.
Test It's Value
Simmons Liver Purifier is the most
valuable remedy I ever tried for consti-
pation and disordered liver, it does its
work thoroughly, but does not gripe like
most remedies of its character. I cer-
tainly recommend it whenever the op-
portunity occurs. Price 25c.

Friction Bearings
or Ball Bearings—
Which?

The ordinary friction bearing will wear loose. Each
revolution or vibration grinds out a small portion of the

PRESIDENT ARRIVES
AT DES MOINES
Des Moines, Sept. 20—President Taft
arrived and was greeted by a throng of
50,000, with much enthusiasm. After
breakfast he headed auto parade through
streets. In a speech he said he would
recommend an amendment to the inter-
state commerce laws, providing for the
creation of a court of commerce to hear
appeals from the commission's ruling,
and to insure a speedy hearing; to ex-
empt labor unions from the anti-trust
laws; to make boycotts legal; to stop
over capitalization, and railroads from
owning controlling interest 111 competi-
ive companies; to give government
greater control of eori-iorations.

COOK TOLD WHITNEY
HE REACHED POLE
New York, Sept. 20—A wireless from
Cook says he appreciates enthusiasm of
people; that be positively told Whitney
in the presence of Pritchard that he
reached the pole, and used a map to de-
scribe his journey minutely. Steamer
Oscar will probably arrive at quaran-
tine tonight and wait until morning to
proceed here. He will be given an mon-
ster reception down the bay, then taken
to Brooklyn where elaborate program is
planned.
"The Armless Man"
Said, "It wasn't money he wanted, but
somebody to scratch his back." There
are many with strong arms and willing
hands that have that same yearning.
Hunt's Cure will make back scratching,
or any other old scratching totally un
necessary. It knocks out any itching
sensation that ever happened, and 1
does it right now. One application re-
lieves.
