Attention is called to the no-

is Monday. June 1& It is doubt-
less difficult for every tract of
land to be equitably valued, and
this means is afforded for those
who have grievances to
them adjunted.
Governor James E. Ferguson
of Texas attempted to veto an
appropriation of $<>82.393 for the
support of the Texas State Uni
veraity for the next two fiscal
years. It is hinted that the rea-
son for his veto was the failure
of certain members of the faculty
to support him for governor. B.
F. Looney, attorney general,
I after looking ov*r the bill and
carefullv inspecting the govern-
or's blue pencil marks, decided

Oklahoma's total selective
registration is as follows: Whites
154.137, negroes 11.914, aliens
2,947. enemv aliens 219. Total
claiming exemptions: Whites
102,918, negroes 7.481. General
Earp estimates that with his
original estimate of 215.318, the
registration fell short 40,105.

General Ancel Earp of the Ok-

ting his name in the papers fre-
quently now. He is said to be
the youngest adjutant general in
the world. In order to give the
General a job and permit him to
earn.the $£500 salary which the
state awarded him he was made
custodian of the State cBpitoP by
the sixth legislature, the princi-
pal duty being to see that the
janitors were kept busv and the
uniform of the state guards
kept bright and shiny. But

that a state ot war existed be-

Hit Win* Blowing
Th*. first of the week hot
winds began blowing from the
south and the temperature ran
up over 100 degrees. In differ-
ent sections temperatures have
been reported between 100 and

cooler since Tuesday.
Hydrophobic Warning.
Dr. John W. Duke, state
health commissioner, writes us
that at this time of year hydro-
phobia is much more common
than it should be. During the
first half of May a larger pro-
portion of the heads of dogs
sent to his laboratory for ex-
amination showed indications of
rabies. Therefore the demand
for Pasteur treatment is much
greater than it should be. For
community protection,he recom-
mends that stray and unlicensed
doga be killed-withobt ceremony,
for a single dog may bite sever-
al people, as well as other dogs
and stock. Some time ago we
gave directions how to pack a
dog's head to ship it to the doc-
tor for examination.

We had some good service last
I Sunday morning. The Sunday
school service was good. The
Bible class is growing. This
class is made up of the older
men and women and K. M. Thorp
is the teacher. There are other
members of Jie church who
should join this class. The
eleven o'clock service was very
well attended. Let all the mem-
bers try and attend at least one
service on Sunday.

er on education of S. M. U. lo-

lard captured a red colored
mouse at his home which had
