---- ----- : like that country fine, but that he
nounces his candidacy this week i,kCs Oklahoma better, especially
-------Mountain View and the country
surrounding it. He says: I have
a warm feeling for all my friends
at Mountain View; give them my
for the democratic nomination
for the office of sheriff of Kiowa
county at the coming primary,
and his many friends Will be
pleased to learn that he is a can*
didate and will support him
loyally.
Charlie, as he is familiarly
known, is a pioneer of Oklahoma,
having lived in the Indian ter-
ritory and Oklahoma for thirty-
five years. Prior to the opening
of the Kiowa, Caddo and Com-
anche country he lived in Wash-
ington and Cleveland counties
and was married to an Oklahoma
girl in Cleveland county. They
have four children, three girls
and one boy, all of whom are
attending school in Hobart, two
of the girls being in the High
School.
Mr. Lee lives on his farm just
east of Hobart, where he and his
family have resided for some
time. He has lived on the farm
most all of his life, except for a
short time when he lived in Ho-
bart. ' During most of that time
he was employed in an official
capacity, holding the office of
Deputy Sheriff for two years and
City Marshall for four years.
In these position he made good
and refers the voters of Kiowa
county to those who knew him
in his official capacity as to his
fitness for the office of sheriff.
He is in favor of law enforce
ment and if elected will enforce
the law without fear or favor,
knowing no favorites, but always
holding in view the interests of
the people he serves. He is
fearless, and if elected, the hum-
ble and lowly, as well as those of
more fortunate circumstances,
will receive the same courteous
treatment at his hands.
He has always affiliated with
the democratic party, is depend-
able and his abilities to fill the
position are beyond question.
Giye his candidacy due consider-
ation.
No Place Like Mtn. View
A recent letter from Sherman
failing in that he took to the rail-
road track in an effort to walk
out of town. Being headed off,
he returned to town and changed
clothes in an effort to disguise
himself. The change of clothes
proved of no avail, as he was
found sitting on the sidewalk
down town and identified by the
Ward boy. It didn’t take him
long to produce the money, but
best regards. Mountain View , he said he lost the purse,
and the country surrounding it is
hard to beat, and a man willhaye
to look a long time before he will
find a country to beat it."

to Grow the Peanut, and 105
Ways of Preparing It for Human
Consumption," comes from the
experiment station of that very
progressive institution, Tuskegee
Institute, Alabama. The bulletin
is printed by the students and
does them credit as well as the
director, G. W. Carver. When
the housewife realizes that the
peanut is higher in food value
than the Boston bean and is an
inexpensive food as well, she
will appreciate the value of this
bulletin, which gives so many
ways of preparing this whole-
some food. This bulletin can be
had free on application to G. W.

Pioneer Society
We reprint from the English Depart-
ment News, published at Central State
Normal, Edmond, a piece of poetry by
Miss Oua Gorden of Mountain View:
We are a good society,
You'll find us hard to beat.
We always have a program fine
Every Monday when we meet.
There re readings, songs and a debate.
All prepared within due time;
And these are given in their turn,
'Till the eight-thirty chime.
Then our Prery stands and says,
“The critic's report we ll hear;''
And out comes Mr. Howell
From his seat back in the rear.
“’Tis fine," is what he always says,
And truiy it is so.
Is there a like society?
We Pioneers say, “No."
