and It Is planned that a county or-
ganisation be perfected in each of
. the counties. The formim: of the
Bureau in Bryan County is one of
the first local bureaus to be estab-
lished. The idea Is to advertl&e and pop-
ularize Eastern Oklahoma nad the
bureau will work in conjunction with
tho colonization department of the M.
K. & T. railway which will act as a
clearing house in conducting an ad-
vertising campaign for bringing far-

State Bureau.
Tho colonization department of tLs
L. K. &'T. will refor Inquiries In
their order to the different tmnks of
the counties who will lu turn refer
them to their real estat-i members
and only sueh literature will be sent
out by the different mnibrs as is
truo in all respects and thai has been
passed by the State committee.
This organisation will result in
spreading advertising that rs vouch-
ed for of these different counties be-
fore a very large number of prospec-
tive home owners and will do a great
deal toward the development of tuM
part of tho State. The members will
make It a point to give all prospec-
tive purchasers of farm lands a cor-
dial welcome and sec that they get
courteous and fair treatment. The
Bureau standing as It does for a
square deal and seeing that nothing
it misrepresented U prospective pur-
chasers will give the Investing pub-
He great confidence In thl3 pait of
the country and will bring peoplp
here that could not be gotten in any
other manner.
In addition to the genoral adver
tising campaign to be conducted by
the State bureau In conjunction with
the M. K. & T. each county may ad-
vertise itself with literature that has
been O. K'd by tho Stati bureau and
the members of tho Bryan County
organization are planning to be at
the forefront in the work
With tho men behind the more In
Bryan County who are dii.ong th"
most thorough business men in the
