And that isn't strange either.
Men who think they can't smoke a pipe or roll a ciga-

Albert. And smokers who have not yet given P. A. a try-

coming their way as soon as they invest in a supply.

To the Farmers of Bryan County:
As superintendent of the nfricul-
tural department of our Bryan Coun-
ty Fair this year I feel It my duty
to you to mnko an effort to secure
for Bryan County tho greatest exhib-
it of agricultural products ever
shown In a county fair In Oklahoma.
I am placed In the position to
work Tor you. I am not working for
the men who are promoting the
fair. I am not working for the peo
ple who aro paying the premiums. I
am simply working for you The
Farmers of Bryan County.
We have always had .a good agri-
cultural exhibit at our fair. We want
a better one and a bigger one than
ever before.
You will no doubt ask "Why I am
taking so much Interest In this fair."
Listen! It Is easy to answer If you
will only think for a moment I am
a farmer; a citizen of Bryan County;
I believe in my county; I believe In
and have faith In my county's far-
mers; I believe In promoting the
greatest industry in Bryan County
that or farming.
You may take the farmers out of
Bryan County and every business en-
terprise In it would have to stop.
Tho busines men have appreciat-
ed this fact to the extent that they
are promoting this fair for you; pro-
moting it along educntlonal lines
and not for one cent ot profit to
themselves. They havo guaranteed
to pay every premium awarded In
cash. Can you appreciate their In-
terest In you to the extent thnt you
will individually see to it that you
bring some of your products for ex-
hibition this year?
The premium which you may re-
ceive should not stand out predom-
inont to induce you to bring some-
thing for exhibition. Thoro is some-
thing else tl. satisfaction of know-
ing that you are able to produce
something worth showing in compe-
tition with your neighbor farmer.
This should be an incentive to all to
make an exhibit.
Thero is something else the
County Fair is a great three-day
school to every farmer who Is will-
ing to learn.
Experience ofton teaches us come
very dear and costly lessons. At tho
County Fair we learn from compari-
son what we othorwlso would have
t olearn by experience.
Bring your products to tho Fair
and learn by comprning them with
simlla rones of your county's far-
mers. The premiums aro very liberal and
you havo tho samo chunco to win as
anyone. All I can ask Is bring the
best you have In anything whether
for this department or another.
Wo have arranged with Hon. Job.
H. Wilson head or the A1. & M. Col-
lege at Stillwater to furnish a com-
petent judge for the agricultural de-
partment' and after you have seen
and heard him pnss upon all tho ar-
ticles on exhibition I am sure ylu
will feel you havo bon treated fairly.
Come to tho Fair bring something
for exhibition and let's got acquaint
id. Moot our friends fool wolcomo
Officers of tho law aro apparently
unable to cope with tho liquor Inter-
ests In McCurtnln County' according
to tho findings of the superintendent
of tho Fivl Civilized Tribes nnd the
Choctaw-Chicknsaw payments havo
been suspended thero. The order af-
fects more than three thousand re-
serlcted Indians and ties up $1500-
000 of tho payment. ?
McCurtain County is the homo of
more restricted Indians than any
othr county In the two nations. Su-
perintendent Gnbe E. Pnrker hoti-
'ied the officers o fall counties thaf

ments would bo made to the Indians
