Is Liquid Velvet
For Your Walls
Considering the mess and bother
that simply can’t be helped whether
it’s paper or some liquid finish you
put on your walls, why not make sure
it won’t have to be done again for
years, by using Mellotone?
Why use some dull thin flat liquid
finish, when Mellotone will give you
that deep rich velvety look so much
to be desired.
Don’t tamper and experiment with
your walls. Make sure you are right
before y*u do a thing to them. Drop
in and see this Mellotone finish. See
for vourself.

FIGHTING THE

The fight is on and the boll weevil
must go. Judging from newspaper
reports the counties in southern Okla-
homa are ^putting on as strong a cam-
paign in that section against the boll
weevil as has Texas put on for the
past several years. And the indica-
tions are that the fight in this county
will be fast and furious from now on.
The best farmers are beginning to
realize as did the Texas farmer that if
they are going to raise cotton it is as
necessary for them to make as strong
a fight against the boll Weevil as they
do against the weeds and grass in
their cotton.
Any time the farmer wants to know
anything on the subject of destroying
the boll weevil; if he will see his bank-
er, who is his best friend in thi3 mat-
ter, he will gladly give to him all the
information that can be td*rived from
either the government o r the state
agricultural departments. He will
also gladly furnish you With the mix-
ture or the ingredients at cost.
The best farmers of the county do
not understand or know why a man
will work his cotton jjl spring an
part of the summer and then quit,
1 when he is bound to realize that for
j only about one third of the labor al-
| ready done l.e can by the right kind »f '
I work done from now on and the use o» !
1 the proper medicinal mixtures increase !
| the yield of cotton from twice to three j
times. It is fast becoming understood
and realized that it is necessary, and a
much easier job, to rid this country of
the boll weevil a« it was to drive the
pesty fever tick out. And they are
fast besoming convinced that they
must work ir unison and t* • t ."very
fallow must do his part.
• Thera is no doubt but that the most
advisable thing for the farmer to do is
to buy the ingredients and make the
mixture himself. This can be done
with but little trouble and expense.
If he will take the recipe below for
poisoning the boll weevil and follow it
the cost will be minimum, not ovsr 15

This will be the Introduc-
tion of Vocational work

' The Community Should be Con-
gratulated on Securing
This Work.
Mr, Bridges of Oklahoma City, who
is supervisor of vocational training in
Oklahoma met with the board of edu-
cation and the school superintendent
of school district number 17, Seminole,
Oklahoma, last Friday. At that meet-
ing the school board ot this district ar-
