Washington, D. C. July 1.—New
regulations governing the interstate
movement of live stock will become
effective today. These changes are
designated by the department of Ag-
riculture to facilitate the movement
of live stock from quarantined areas
or from public stockyards. The new
regulations, which are known as B. A.
I. (-Bureau of Animal Industry) Or-
der 210, superseding B. A. I. order
143, deal with the shipment of cattle
from tick-infected areas, with the
movement of swine from public stock
yards and with the dipping of cattle
and sheep for scabies.
Here after cattle that have been
dipped once under State or Federal
supervision may be shipped from an
area quarantined for ticks to a mar-
ket center where there are proper
dipping facilities and the department
of Agriculture maintains an inspec-
tor. After, a second dipping there
under his supervision the cattle may
be sold for any purpose. Hitherto it
has been necessary in times of
drought for cattle owners in quaran-
tined areas to slaughter their stock
or sell it for slaughter for whatever it
would bring. The resulting loss will
it is hoped be done away with under
the new regulation.
The provision permitting, under
certain strict conditions, the trans-
portation of hogs from public stock-
yards into interstate commerce has
been made possible by the discovery
by government scientists of a serum
which renders swine immune to hog
cholera. Hitherto all stockyards have
been considered as infected with this
disease. Now, however, it is consid-
ered safe to permit the shipment of
hogs which have been treated with
the serum and which show no symp-
toms of suffering from any form of
disease. As a result of this it is ex-
pected that thousands of light weight
hogs will be sent from the stockyards
to the country for feeding and fat-
tening and that the country’s total
production of pork will be greatly in-
creased thereby.
The new regulations also with-
draw all permission for the use of
nicotine solutions, coal-tar creosote,
and cresol preparations in the official
dipping of cattle and sheep for scab-
ies. This step has been made nec-
essary by the difficulty experienced
in keeping baths of this nature at a
strength sufficient to eliminate all
danger of disease without having
them so strong as to be injurious to
the animals themselves. The depart-
ment, therefore, decided to insist upon
a field test of the strength of all so-
lutions used for dipping. A practical
field test for this purpose is available
in the case of the sulphide sulphur
used in lime in sulphur baths for
scabies, and for arsenious oxide in
arsenical dips for cattle tick. Official
dipping, therefore, will hereafter be
confined to the lime-and sulphur and
arsenical baths.

HAYES MADE FIRST FOURTH OF
JULY SPEECH 24 YEARS AGO.
Chandler Okla., June 29, 1914.
To The Democrats of Lincoln County:
I am seeking the honor of being
your candidate for County Treas-
urer. I am farming my farm here in
Otoe township. I shall see many of
you in this campaign but as I can
not see all of you I take this method
of giving my views concerning the
matters pertaining to the office that
I seek.
Without good candidates it is im-
possible to win in the November el-
ection and I judge the most of you
want candidates with all the qualifi-
cations it is possible to get. So I
shall briefly state my claims and
qualifications for the office.
Do you want some one who is ac-
comodating and courteous? If so
ask the men who have done business
with me during the last 20 years.
They live in all parts of Lincoln
county.
Do you want some one who will
keep the records accurate and up to
date? To let the records get behind
or let errors creep into them means
much additional work and I assure
you this will not be done.
Do you want to know your funds
are safe? The law throws many safe
guards around them but I shall use
every effort to see that they are
safe.
Do you want to know that you al-
ways get credit when you pay money
into the office? When Henry Mc-
Keown was County Treasurer, he and
I used a system of double checking
which if used with ordinary care will
absolutely prevent mistakes of this
kind.
Do you want the office run at the
least possible cost? The records will
show that the office of county clerk
cost the people of Lincoln county less
during the 4 years I was County
Clerk than in any other 4 years in
the history of Lincoln county. This
includes all cost of work and incident-
al expenses paid for by the people of
Lincoln county and is a record of
which I am extremely proud.
Do you want a man of wide ex-
perience ? I have worked for every
County Treasurer, except John Gay-
man, since D. W. Ulam went out of
office. Besides I checked out a treas-
urer’s 4 year term in Washita coun-
ty, Oklahoma and my report was
thorough and complete.
Fellow Democrats, hoping you can
see your way clear to vote for me in
the coming primary, I remain,
V’ery truly yours,
H. E. STRAUGHEN.

Oklahoma City, June 30.—The an-
nouncement that Samuel W. Hayes
will make the principal speech at the
big celebration to be held at Colony,
in Washita county on July 4, recalls
the first Fourth of July speech ever
made by the former chief justice of
the Oklahoma Supreme Court, 24
years ago.
It was at Bibtown, Texas, at a big j
picnic and celebration that Sam Hayes !
then a school-boy of fifteen years, de- j
livered the principal address to a
thousand farmers and their wives
who had gathered from several coun-
ties in the western plains of the Lone
Star State.
The subject of the boy orator’s ad-
dress was “Education,” and his de-
scriptive power, eloquence and knowl-
edge of his subject astonished the
most learned and best informed peo-
ple of the community. In fact his
speech was the subject of much com-
ment in the Texas newspapers at that
time.
Conditions have changed in West
Texas in the quarter of a century
that has followed, and many sturdy
pioneers have, like Sam Hayes, moved
to Oklahoma and have played a con-
spicuous part in the development of
this new state. Among these former
Texans now living in Oklahoma are
several men who heard Sam Hayes
make the greatest speech of his boy-
hood days. Some of these are J. A.
Arms, VV. D. Jackson, John Middleton
of Marlow; J. L. McCord of Non; G.
W. Tabor of Elk City; R. H. Stevens
of Hammond; J. H. Ivester of Sayre
and W. O. Jackson of Mountain View.
J. O. (Ode) Crawford, who is as-
piring for the Democratic nomination
as Clerk of the Supreme Court, is a
Pontotoc county man and should re-
ceive the solid democratic vote at the
August Primary. He is well qualified
for the position which he is seeking
and will personally fill the office, by
making a full hand, and not requir-
ing the taxpayers to furnish help
while he sits around and looks wise.
The way to cause a reduction in the
State taxes is to elect men to office
that are competent and are willing
to do all the work they can in the of-
fice. instead of electing figureheads
and then hiring deputies and clerks
at the taxpayers expense to do the
work of the office.
C. W. McKEEHEN.
STATE SUPERINTENDENT
WHO HAS MADE GOOD
For nearly four years, K. H. Wilson
has served as State Superintendent
of schools and is now asking to be
continued in this position for a term
of four years more.
His general experience as a school
man covers a period of eighteen
years. He has taught In the country
and city schools, has served as prin
cipal. member of achool board and
county superintendent and is familiar
through experience, with every phase
of school activity. He has had the
experience of four years as State su-
perintendent, which has brought him
Into close contact wHh all our Insti-
tutions of higher learning and famil
iarized him with their needs.
Speaking of the coming campaign,
Mr. Wilson said:
“1 shall not, during this cam-
paign, say or do one thing that
will reflect upon the personal
character or Integrity of any who
may seek this office in opposition
to me, but I do submit that no
other man who will ask for the

Paints and Varnishes
each other have Improved to a very
great degree.
Mr. Wilson makes no pretense that
his administration of the affairs of the
office is exclusively responsible for
all of this progress; it is the product
of the combined effort of many, and
he gives due credit to everyone who
has assisted him in this work. But
it is fair to him to say that this
progress is greater than has ever be-
fore occurred in Oklahoma or any
other state during any Bimilar period
of time; thut he has used the full
weight of Ills office in bringing it
about; that the policies that he has
put into effect have helped much and
have not hindered, and that by a con-
tinuation of these policies you may
expect continued progress for the next
four years. You take no chance.
Knowing that the first essential in
effective school work Is competent
teachers, he has given his attention
chiefly to the coordination and de-
velopment of higher education. One

State Superintendent of Schools,

YOUNG MAN DIES IN MISERY.
On the 9th of May, Rolla Howard, J
aged about 19 years, and who resided i
at 013 East Jackson near the round j
house was bitten on the check by a I
dog. He suffered from the bite and I
went to Oklahoma City for pasteur I
treatment. He returned in a few days j
feeling all light. But on last Sat-
urday he suddenly took dorse and
Sheriff King; was hastily summoned, j
The boy was taken to the county jail i
and placed in a ward and given med-1
ieal aid. Doctors worked with him:
for several hours but to no avail. He I
died in misery about 11 o’clock Sat-
urday night.—Creek County Republi-'

position ran show better equip-
ment to give service. The demo-
cratic theory of government does
not look with approval upon per-
manent continuance in office. But
it is in harmony with the sound-
est principles that any officer who
has acquired the experience of a
term shall continue in this office
another term, that the state may
have the benefit of the experience
gained.”
During Mr. Wilson’s administration
as superintendent, the school system
of Oklahoma has made great steps
forward. The average daily attend-
ance has increased in two years’
time, ten per cent; the general effi-
ciency of the schools has increased
proportionately; the enrollment in our
high schools has increased at least
eighty per cent; the attendance and
efficiency of the state institutions of
higher learning have increased in like
ratio; the consolidated school move-
ment has grown tremendously; the
general standard of efficiency and the
adjustment of the various schools to
SOME OF THE THINGS SUPERIN
TENDENT WILSON HAS STOOD
FOR DURING HIS ADMIN-
ISTRATION.
1. Immediately after going Into of
flee he established a tenure system
for teachers in the state schools, pro-
viding that all teachers be nominated j
by the President of the Institution in
which they are to serve and holding
such President responsible for the re- j
suits, thus eliminating political influ-1
ence and assuring efficiency and har-
mony. The harmony and co-operation I
in the state schools today testify |
to the wisdom of this policy.
2. The improved conditions of the
rural schools are due to the deep
Interest manifested in their behalf.:
They show an increase in the average j
daily attendance of 10 per cent, with
belter and more proficient teachers,'
and a large increase in consolidated
schools. V
3. lie has brought about a condi
tion which guarantees to every teach-
er par value for his warrant. Only
three counties have failed to comply j
with this law. Every assurance has
been given that, when schools open
next September there will be few
school districts, if any, which will
allow teachers’ warrants to be dis-
counted. This, in addition to an in-
creased average salary, as shown by
the county superintendent’s reports,
will secure better teachers and more
cheerful services.
4. He has persistently fought for1
fewer and cheaper text hooks and has ,
been bitterly assailed by book com-
panies that would profit it tiie ex-
pense of the state and has insisted
that all hooks made for the state of
Oklahoma should boar the union label, j
school system four years ago cannot
fall to recognize the tremendous im-
provement. We are now assured of
constantly increasing efficiency in our
teachers. If Mr. Wilson is re-elected,
he will be able to do more to increase
the efficiency of the grade and com-
mon schools with the view of assist
ing the teachers to raise these schools
to the highest point of efficiency, and
make them of the greatest direct val-
ue in the lives of tne people of the
state.
In soliciting your support he says:
"I am In good health, in the
prime of life, and recognize the
responsibility of my office. No
clerk in any office puts in more
hours at hard work than I do.
I will, of course, appreciate a
continuance of your confidence,
but it is a matter which should bp
decided primarily by your person-
al Interest. If you believe that
you will be best served by my
continuance In office, I shall be
pleased to receive your active
support.”
5. Mr. Wilson made no pre-electlo^
promises before and will make none
now, nor will he allow himself to be-
come under obligations to any individ-
ual or corporation. The opposition
which he has shown to the book
trusts in the last two years is suffi-
cient evidepce to convince all who
know him that the influence of the
book companies will not be for him
during the present campaign.
6. Mr. Wilson has always main-
tained an open and frank attitude
towards all public questions and has
never hesitated to stat.p positively his
position on any subject. As a mem-
ber of the School Land Commission
he has favored selling the school
lands, the granting of the preference
right to the lessee, and at the snm
time, protecting the interest of the
half million school children of th*
state. The records in his office shov
that although there has been a con I
tinual increase In the number o'
scholastic population of the state
there has been a similar increase >
the revenues derived from the pub?
school fund. As a member of th?
board, Mr. Wilson has always worker
for the plan that would produce th
most revenue for the school fund.
7. He has favored a complete sep
aration of the State Board of Educa
tion from the State Text Book Com
mission, hoping thereby to eliminat
<n the future the only cause for fri'
tion during his administration,
vote for R. H. Wilson is a vote fr
few'er and better school books, a mer?
for teachers, rural school i’
proveinent, full pay for teacher
services, and an Independent, untram
nielled, open, and frank administ:
tion for every citizen of the state.
