ARE GETTING READY
FOR A RIG CONTEST;
Although the big contest to be in-
augurated by the Oklahoma Panama
Exposition Commission will not open
until September loth, a great deal
of interest is already being shown in
many portions of the state. Candi-
dates are being nominated daily and
many communications have come to
the headquarters of the Commission
with the names of women who will j
compete for the novel prize—a free
trip to the Panama-Pacific Inter-
national Exposition at San Francisco
in I9j5.
If so much interest is taken at this
early date, the Commissioners feel
that by the time .the contest is open
in fall, the influx of. votes will be al-
most overwhelming. Although sev-
eral candidates have already been
nominated, their names will not be
made public until the opening.of the
contest
The contest is to be launched for
the purpose of selecting two women
one of Indian and one of Pale face
descent—to dedicate the Oklahoma
building at the Panama-Pacific Ex-
position. It will open on the above-
mentioned date and will close on
december 3lst Candidates are to
be elected by vote based on five-cent
postal cards, with voting coupon at-
tached, at the rate of five cents a
vote. Any donations made to the
Exposition fund may be counted as
votes on the same basis. All persons
who hsve paid money into the fund
prior to the opening of the contest
may vote the same as if they bad
paid their money after September
10th.
The two candidates elected will be
given first-class transportation to the
Panama Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco and return aud will be en
tertained two weeks there. A re
ception will be given in -their honor
on the day of the dedication of the
Oklahoma Building.

turies. will be officially represented |
by Its minister of agriculture, Chun

The real purpose of the Internation-

PUBLIC SALE!
You should, I believe, figure with me be-
fore you employ an auctioneer.
I will be ready to cry sales any time after
September5,1913
and I believe if you will look up my record
you will find that I am the man who can
get the high dollar for your property. I
cried more sales last year than all other
auctioneers in the county combined, which
goes to show that the people have confiden-
ce in my ability as an auctioneer. Every
mam for whom I cried a sale last year, so
far as I have been able to learn, was satis-
fied with my work. What more could you
ask? If you get the money for your stuff,
that is what you want.

will make money for both of us.

or how severe your Uiroat or lung
ailment is, Dr King's New Dis-
covery will surely help you; it may
save your life. Stillman Green, of

SOME DON'TS.
Don’t ask the editor to publish a
list of wedding gifts.
Don't add to the terrors of death
by lacking several stanzas of dogger-
el to a death notice.
Don’t crowd the mourners.
Don t lug old clippings into a
newspaper office and tell the editor
that you have brought him “some-
thing to fill up with." Take him a
cabbage; be can fill up with that.
Sitting iu the end of a church pew,
Don't get up to admit others. Move
along.
Don't kick a man when be U down
unless you are sure that he will
never get up again.
Don’t pul lard on a man s shoes
when you see a man “going down
hill.” They are already greased for
the occasion.
Don't pray with the hungry man
until you have given him something
to eat. Prayer without pork avail-
etb not.
Don't grumble if your paper is
not always flush up to tbe high
standard of your ideal. Charitably
remember that no editoi is capable
of getting up quite as good a paper
as you could yourself.
Don't sit around aud wait for
something to come along; better get
out of the road, ye fool, or it s liable
to run over you.
Buy your goods of your home
merchant. He will treat you right.

of service that makes a rail-
road journey a pleasure in-
stead of a necessary hard-
ship—the passenger bound
for the North or East can’t
do better than to arrange for
a ticket via the Frisco Lines.
Not a comfort has been
overlooked in the make-up
of our trains. You are serv-
ed with Fred Harvey meals
in a steel dining car. The
