Davis Bill
Stillwater, Okla. May 1,1908
A letter to the dairyman of thie
state from the Secretary of the Ok-
lahoma Dairymen'a Association.
I with to make the following state-
ment regarding Senate Bill No. 557
by Davis, which Bill I believe to be
of great value in developing the
dairy industry in Oklahoma and in
securing better prices to the farmers
for their cream.
I wish to state that this Bill has
the endorsment of the authorities of
the A. & M. College and of the
State Board of Agriculture of Okla-
homa and of the Dairy Division of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture-
With such backing it must be appar-
ent to every dairy farmer that it ii
to his interest to give what support
he can in securing the passage of
this BUI.
This Bill provides for a State
Dairy Commissioner and Dairy In-
spectors whose duty it is to foster
and promote the dairy industry of
this state, help the farmers and
creameries in making better butter
and get better prices for the butter
which is made. This Bill is worthy
of your support and you can be of
great assistance in securiug its pass-
age if you will write to your repre-
sentatives in the legislature, also
assist your local creamery in oeti-
tioning the legislature for the j ass-
age of this Bill.
Your immediate action is ne ded
and I believe that you are r idy
and willing to co-operate with the
farmers of this state in securing the
passage of this Bill whihe mean so
much to the development of the
Dairy Industry and to the Agri-
cultural Interests of this state.
Yours respectfully,
Roy C. Potts.
Secretary of the Oklahoma Dairy-
men's Assocation.
Morrow’s Bridges
The Pub two weeds ago charged
Commissioner Morrow with having
violated the law by ordering steel
bridges without submitting to bids
or having the location surveyed.
The Pub was probably ignorant
of the fact that fhe said bridges
were to replace some that were de-
stroyed and that the location had
been surveyed. Commissioner Mor-
row saved the county several dollars
by not doing as she Pub suggested.
Again be did not ask for bids be-
cause the law does not require it and
second because he did not buy them
The bridges in question were pur-
chased by the townships and and
the county will chip in after the
bridges are completed and help the
townships.—Chandler Tribune.

World Brands
OOME goods are known all
^ over the world. The Steinway
Piano, Singer Sewing Machine,
Pullman Car, and “Queen Qual-
ity” Shoe are four “World Brands”
which especially appeal to women.
If you are not using each of .these
you are missing a lot. Especially
is this true of “Queen Quality”
Shoes. Try them once and see why.
Stroud, Oklahoma, May 7, 1908
To whom it may concern :
This is to certify that Mr. J. C
Cornelison only charged the Baptist1
Church 12 per cent oh a loan the
Church at one time carried with him.
Up to the time of the note was
paid I was under the impression •
that the rate was 18 per cent and so
figured the interest, but he would
not accept it and called my atten-
tion to the-fact that the note only,
called for 12 per cent. In settling
he donated an amount sufficient to
reduce the interest to about 10 per
cent.
I was not connected with loan at
the time it was made and do not
know how the report was started at
that time, which was about eighteen
months ago, or who started the re-
port on the eve of the last election,
but I am glad to testify to the facts
in the case and what he actually
charged regardles. of any reports to
i the contrary. I am very sorry that
I did not have an oportunity to cor-
rect this with any who may have
been laboring under a wrong impres-
sion. W. A. Hadley.

Do not make the mistake of classing
these new “Queen Quality” styles with
ordinary $2.50 to $3.50 Oxfords. The
thing to do is to see the shoes.
\
How is it possible to sell the "Queen
Quality” Shoes at these prices? Simply
and only because of the money saved by
wholesale handling. The quantity
made and sold is enormous—much the
largest in the world.

THE LEADER
School Meeting
Chanbler, Okla., May, 12, 1908,
To the school officers of Lincoln
County :
You are hereby notified that the
Annual School Meeting for 1908 is
postponed until the last Tuesday in
July that we may have a definite
basis or valuation updn which to
make an intelligent tax' levy for
school purposes.
The Williams bill, which has been
much quoted by various newspapers,
has been recalled for the purpose of '■
amending and altering that portion
of it which relates to the election of .
a fnll board of trustees this year. |
It will be so modified as to affect
only those newly organized districts
in “Indian Territory” and those
districts in “Old Oklahoma” in
which school officers have bee ap-
pointed since the meeting last year.
In this county we will elect a
Director for three years. In dis-
tricts where a Clerk has been ap-
pointed since the last meeting elect
one for a term of two years, if a
Treasurer has beed appointed elect
one for a term of one year
In all districts where there sterns
to be sentiment in favor of a summer
s hool I suggest that a special meet-
ing be called to determine the wish-
es of the people and to authrixe the
present board to employ teachers.
Notices of such meetings should be
