State University School.
Claremore, Okla.
Last year, the fact was not-
ed that the State University
School of Claremore would open
its doors for the lirst time to the
young people of the state This
school has just completed its tirst
session with remaikable success,
the enrollment running as tue cat-
alogue shows, to more than four
hundred students of both sexes.
The school occupies a somewhat
unique position. 1 uder the law
it is "preparatory to the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma and other insti-
tutions of higher learning' the A
and *M. College and the Normal
Schools. An examination of the
course of study shows that there
is not only recosruitiou of this fact;
but that the courses of study are
so arranged. We note particular-
ly the courses in Telegraphy the
home makers course offered one
denominated Industrial. Any young
man or woman graduated from
this school should be able to go out
into the world at least fairly
equipped to make an honest living.
Work begins with the eight grade
and runs through four additional
years.
The state has been generous in
providing a beautiful building,
160 a 64, containing 22 rooms
this building has been equipped
with the most modern laboratories
and furniture.
rhe people of Claremore are er-
nest in the support of the school.
Rogers county bucks them strong-
ly; and we note that, though in its
lirst year its students were diawn
from fifteen counties of Oklahoma
and ten states, certianly a good
beginning.
The ptesident of the school, Dr.
Edmund 0. Murdangb, is one well
known in educational circles in
Okh. homa, and, if past attainments
Uo any evidence of power, the
faculty, drawn from the various
tj niversities, both east and west,
Is evidently a very strong one.
This school will open Sept. 14th
1910.
13th, 1910, at Orlando, Okla., af-
ter a lingering illness of many
months, being almost seventy live
years of age. In 1861 he was
married to Sarah J. ltosensteol.
and to this union there was bori.
twelve children of which live an
lead. His wife, three daughters,
and four sons are left to mouri.
for him. A few years after his
marriage he racved to the state of
Ohio and in the year 1877 came t(
Kansas, and lived in Atchison coun<
ty until in 1899, when he purchas-
ed a farm northwest of Orlando
and moved to Oklahoma, and ba>
lived in this community since.
Two yeais ago, Mr. Wagner went
into the hardware and implement
business in Orlando, but soon gave
up active charge of the business,
on account of his health and tn
trusted the business to his sons.
He had suffered long with sick-
ness, being near death's door sev-
eral times until at last he was re
lieved after hanging on to life so
long through the struggle, By
his death the town loses one of it
best citizens and a good father and
husband is gone from one of our
best families.
The funeral was held at the
Christian Church, Sunday morn-
ing, by Rev. J.E. Graves, and was
attended by a c'owd so large that
the building could not accomodate
all. The remains were followed
by a long procession to Lawn View
cemetery where iuterment took
place. The entire community
loeply sympathizes with the aftlct-
ed family in their sorrow.
Wedding ltells.
Mr. Lloyd (haves and Miss Ed
ha Dufall, two estimable young
people of the neighborhood north
of town were married ycsteiday.
Particulars next week.
Mr Ti coy Kint/i, son of Mr.and
and Mis. .I H Kintz, was married
last ween, to Miss Alii'c Merry, at
Cuuadiau, Tex , where he holds a
position with the Suutu Vo,
A New Town Itoard.
At a special meeting last Friday
night called for that purpose, one
trustee was appointed from each
ward and hereafter tho town board
will be composod of six members
instead of three as heretofore.
The three new members should
have been elected last April, but
in somo way the election law was
not exactly understood and after
the election, and up to the present
there was only three members on
the board. Rut the law requires
that there shall be two counciliffen
from each ward, so the newly ap-
pointed meu will serve till the
next election.
The appointments made wore,
1st ward, P. II. Gilmore, 2nd
ward, S. T. Roberts, 3rd ward, R.
J. Conueway.
Election Results.
Up to now the official count has
not been given in the recent prima-
ry election. Probably it will come
aiound a little while before election
day in November. The grandfath-
er clause will bo carried by 15,000
and Cruce will be declared nomi-
nated. The republican ticket will
be as is shown elesewhere in this
issue.
Card Of Thanks.
We wish to extend our hearfelt
thanks, to our friends, who so
kindly assisted us during the sick-
ness and death cf our husbaid and
father.

A NET I.OSS OK FKOM A QUAR-
TKU TO A HALF MILLION
DOLLARS TO THE W'HEATj
OROWERS OF OKLA-
HOMA, THIS YEAR.
Gentlemen:-
I am directing a letter of infor-
mation to the Farmers' Institute
ifficors, commercial clubs, cham-
bers of commerce, and all news-
papers in tho seventy-six counties
of the state, calling their attention
to this onoi mous loss and at the
same time giving them informa-
tion necessary to overcome same.
Threshing machines aie at
work in every wheat growing sec-
tion of Oklahoma, and the largest
crop of wheat ever grown in the
state is ready to be marketed. At
tho present time the hignest pric-
ed market is Minneapolis, the buy
ers of that city offering higher
prices than those of any other sec
tion of the United State or of Eu-
rope. Minneapolis wants immedi-
ately. and is willing to pay a high
price for, an enormous quantity ol
strictly pure hard winter wheat,
Oklahoma wheat is from two to
three weeks earlier than that of
any other section, and if Oklahoma
wheat growers could supply this
demand, they could secure a good
premium for a large proportion of
their crop.
Minneapolis needs it pure hard
rod winter wheat, positively free
from yellow berry or any mixture
of soft wheats, and very few pla-
ces in Oklahoma can meet this de-
mand, because last fall Oklahoma
farmers were careless and used
seed with yellow berries or with
mixtures of soft wheat. The loss
from this seed will probably be
a half million dollars this year to
the wheat growers of Oklahoma
and may be much more. In some
sections of the state not a single
car of pure red wheat is available
and in many other sections, where
wheat is the main crop, there are
only a few cars of pure red wheat.
In nearly every wheat growing
section, every load of wheat offei -
ed by farmers shows a mixture of
from two to five varieties—some
hard, some soft, Turkey Red
Wheat, of choice quality, was
brought into the northern part of
the state several years ago, but
practically every new settler
brought his favorite from home
and now all the wheat is badly
mixed and although of good weight
will bring at least ten cents per
bushel less than Turkey Rod that
is pure. It is necessary for the
Farmers' Institute to take up the
matter immediately, of getting the
farmers and business men of the
state to realize the enormous loss
to tho state this year from yellow
horrv and mixed wheats, and get-
ting an organized movement to se-
cure improved seed for the entire
area to be sown to wheat this fall
so that this great loss will not be
sustained next year.
The Farmers' Institute, The
Farmers' Union,Commercial Clubs
Bankers, and grain dealers and the
Milleis' Associations are all vitally
interested and should begin a move'
uient at once in a campaign of ed*
ucatiou and of one to secure good
seed. Experts should select the
seed to be sure that it is pure and
of tho kind wanted. In some instan-
ces seed wheat was secured in Kan
as local grain. Farmers in those lo-
calities are now skeptical about
pure seed,
I understand thero is some Tur-
key Red wheat in Kingfisher,
Rhine and Major Counties, and a
few sections in Kansas where pure
seed may l>e obtained. Many far-
mers feel that if their wheat is
sound and plump and weighs heavy
that it isi an outrage to make a
strong cut in prue because it is
mixod or has yellow berries, but
actually the impure wheat should
bring less than it does and it would
bring much less if the market was
well stocked.
A barrel of flour from pure Tur-
key Red wheat will make, at least
320 one pound baker's loaves of
bread; a barrel of flour from ber-
ry or mixed wheat (soft or yellow
wheat) will make as little as 260
one pound loaves, a difference of
60 loaves per barrel in favor.of the
hard wheat flour. From one half
to three-fourths of all the bread
used in the cities ot the U. 8. is
made by bakers, and all the large
bakeries keep an accurate record
of the production of bread per bar
rel of flour. Many large bakeries
make 30,000, and upward, loaves
of bread daily, and the difference
of even a few loaves per barrel of
flour makes an enormous differ-
ence in the year's profits, so that
the demand for pure hard wheat
and the cut in pi ice made for
mixed wheat is a reasonable busi-
ness proposition. It is a general
impression among well informed
men that the pure red ban) wheat
yields more in most sections of Ok-
lahoma than mixed wheats.
The Rock Island Railroad lines,
through their Agricultural Com-
missioner, Mr. H.M Coltrell, (who
formerly superintended the Far-
mers' Institute work iq Colorado h
number of years) is assisting great-
ly to get the wheat growers of Ok-
lahoma interested in the selection
of a pure seed wheat for the state.
He has thirteen states under his
direction and says that O^la^oma
farmers have the advantage over
the farmers of the other gffttfta in
which he operates by rfWQOn of the
early harvest of wheat.
The Board of Agriculture hopes,
through the Farmers' Institute
and with the assistance of the press
and commercial organizations of
the state, to assist the wheat grow-
ers to save this great loss in the
next crop.
Very sincerely yours,
Oklahoma State Boa id
or Agriotlture.
Live Stock Market Letter.
Kansas Hity Stock Yards, Aug.
15, 1910. Moderate, cattle receipts
arrived last week, and there was
not much charge in the market,
Feeders sold higher the first days
of the week, account of the many
buyers here, but demand fell off
after Tuesday, and the advance
was lost. Killing cattle held fully
steady duriog the week, medium
and light cattle showing some
slight gains, and ctdves advanced
25 cents during the week. Dry
weather cattle are running freely
to Chicago, 15,000 rangers there
last week, about twice the normal
supply for this early in the season.
Rains have stopped the movement
from most sections except the
northwest, others holding back be-
cause of plenty of good feed, and
Kansas City would have rather light
supplies of cattle another week or
two. Run today is 18,000 head,
including 2000 calves, and the mar-
ket averages steady. Beef steei ■
are a shude lower iu some cases,
but cows and stockers aud feeders
and caUes aro stronger to-day.
Light runs should strengthen tho
murket, but there aie two bear
features present this week, namely
the extra heavy marketing of ran-
gers at Chicago, and the absence
of demand for kosher meat in the
East, due to a series of Jewish
holidays extending over nine days,
commencing next Saturday. Top
native fed steers are worth $8.00,
although best here today sold at
$7.50, best heavy Kansas wintered
natives and westerns $6.25 to 7 15,
straight grass steers $4.50 to 5.75,
grass cows around $3 75, veals
$6.00 to 7.50, stockers 3.00 to 5.50
feeders 4 25 to 6 00. Colorado and
Utah have had a few cattle here in
the last week, beef steers at 4 30
to 4.90, stockers at 4 25 to 5.00,
and some New Mexico stock heif-
ers sold a few days ago at 3-10 to
3 75. Some of the Baer beef steers
from Colorado will be here to-
morrow.
The surprise in the hog market
last week was the sudden jumping
into favor of heavy hogs, which
class advanced 30 to 40 cents last
week. Medium and light weights
also made gains, but not so much,
and the week closed with only a
moderate spread in prices between
the various grades, Total receipts
at all the markets deci eased last
week, and traders look for light
runs for a while. Supply hero to-
day is only 8500, but the market
is steady to five lower, heavy hogs
worth $8 15 to 8.45, mediums up
to $8.70, top lights 8.75. The weak,
nest- today is not taken as indicat-
ing lower prices this week, but on
the contrary strength is expected,
as lard and heavy meats are con-
sidered good property by packers.
The corn prospect and the bog
market will be closely associated
for some time ahead.
