among them in the breeding o:
pure bred stock, and te induce
those who own such stock to ex-

they have.
There is no question but that
this work, done by this associa
tion, is having an effect for the
good among the rural residents
net alone of Beckham county,
but ef the surrounding territory
all through Western Oklahoma.
Farmers are investigating, and
learning that it costs no more to
raise a good animal, and one
which will bring the top price,
either in such sales as these or
on the stock markets at Okla-
homa City, Wichita or Kansas
City, and that there is a greater
return for the time and effort
than with the inferior class of
animals.

The above refers to Alfred
Ivester and Miss Johnnie Turner,
two of Sayre’s best known and
popular yeung people. We all
knew that there was a wedding
only a short distance ahead, but
no one knew just when. The
young people have been prepar-
ing a home on Fourth street for
some time, and were so frank
and honest in their admissions
that the only doubt about the
affair was the date.
Sunday afternoon they drove
over to Mangum, and returned
as Mr. and Mrs. Alfred J. Ivester
and since then have been receiv-
ing the hearty congratulations
of a host of personal friends in
and around Sayre. They are at

number of others whose bodies

it is possible that some other

In any event this will be the

This is something in which
every father and mother, and in
fact every friend of the children
who hopes to see them secure
better educational advantages,
shqpld get in touch with at once.
The success of this amendment

Not alone are the farmers in-
terested because of the benefits
they receive, but also does it be-
hoove every business man of the
j county, whether residing in Sayre
or some other portion of the
county, to get behind these ef-
forts and push, for it can not be
denied that in the prosperity of
the farmers rests the suri suc-
cess of the business man.
We may have oil booms, and
other features which benefit busi-
ness, but the plain fact is that
‘this is an agricultural section,
and the real prosperity of the
county depends upon the pros-
perity of the farmer, and that
efforts directed in such lines are
sure to return good to the busi
ness man.
