SUCCESS ASSURES FUR
PICNIC ANU FREE FAIR
The permit system derised by
the railroad administration and
the grain corporation for con-
trolling the shipment of this year's
record crop will go into effect
today. This will regelate ship-
ments and aroid congestion.
Arrangements are almost com-
plete for the big free fair August
11, 12 and 13. The park, bigger
and shadier than ercr, in being
recleaned and plotted for the
numerous concessions — merry-
go-round, drink stands, doll
racks," etc. Plans for the agri-
cultural exhibit are being con-
structed in anticipation of one
of the largest and best exhibits
this part of the state has seen in
years.
The aviation field for the nse
of the aeroplanes during the
three days, is being worked oyer
and the landing places marked.
This feature of the fair will be
interesting to many, although
planes have become quite num-
erous in the past few years, yet
few have had an opportunity for
a close up view of them on their
hop-offs and landings.

GRAIN DEALERS
MAY LOOSE LICENSES!
Profiteering by elevata* men
at the expense of the farmers in
Southwestern Oklahoma is the
charge by J. A. Whitehurst, pres-
ident of the State Board of Agri-
culture. He says that from 3 to
20 cents per bushel more is being
paid for wheat in the northern
part of the state than is being
paid by elevator men in the
southwestern part.
Whitehurst will ask that the
licenses of offending elevator
men be suspended pending an
investigation, and he has sent out
nine men into this part of the
state to make investigations. On
last Saturday one of his men was
in Mtn. View checking up the
grain buyers here and it was his
opinion that the prices being paid
in Kiowa county were not what
they should be. Tillman county,
it appears, has still lower prices
than Kiowa. The complex grad-
ing system is one thing blamed
by Whitehurst for present con-
ditions. He says even the grain
men do not understand it. He
has asked for cancellation of the
system.
Liberty Bonds
Yon should hold your Liberty
Bonds but if it becomes abso
lately necessary to sell bring
thsm to me and I will dispose of
them at the best price without
cost to you. G. L. Romans.

It is not generally known that
the world's greatest oil wells are
located in Mexico. One well
that has been producing 50,000
barrels daily for the past eight
years has been closed by floods.
Another at Cerro Azul, brought
in early in 1916, has a tested ca-
pacity of 310,000 barrels.

The mountainous southeastern
part of the state is said to be the
chief home of Oklahoma moon-
shiners. Nine were captured in
the vicinity of Hugo one day this
week. It is easy to pass prohibi-
tion laws but hard to stop the
production and sale of booze in
dry old Oklahoma.
Some policemen of the Oklr-
homa City force have no use for
a newspaper man. One of this
kind when he learned that a man
in the police sergeant's office was
a representative of the Oklaho-
mao gave the scribe a good slap
and told him to “gel to — out of
here and stay out,”

This week Chicago is having
daily race riots. So far 31 have
been killed and many hundreds
wounded. Politics is said to be

8,000 militiamen were patrolling
the streets while the fighting was
