Jennings, 18,841; West, 12,281;
Dunlop, 11,996 and Herring 9,182.
Arbitration of the governorship
r*ace between Judge Williams and
Judge Robertson is declared to have
been discussed at a Saturday after-
noon conference between Williams
Robertson and former Governor C
N. Haskell, who played the role of
mediator.
Later returns have made no
change in the result of the late pri-
electlon and their work will show In
the result.
Eugene C. McMichael, the nomi-

incumbent, has made good in the
conduct of the affairs of that office

in office for his second term.
J. Norwood Peterson received one
of the handsomest votes ever polled
in a primary election and in one or
two instances, despite the fact that
he had two opponents in the field,
received every vote in the precinct.

LAWTON, Aug. 10.—Ernest Cof-
fey of Lawton is in receipt of a draft
for $10,000, which Is the first mon-
etary compensation from the West-
Inghouse Electric Manufacturing
Company of Pittsburg. Pa., on the

The average man looks upon ad-
vertising as a means of "blowing
your own horn." It Is that and
more, too. it is a means of letting
•he people know of a bargain vou
have, it informs them of the fact
that you have esomething to sell
out of the ordinary and is a means
of letting them know you have some-
thing new, It takes advertising to
win and th&t is why the real live
wire uses advertising. This is a
day and age that advertising as well
as anything else, has a commercial
value and people of all classes seek
to buy it.
