LUTHER FREE FAIR
WAS BIG SUCCESS
Without exaggeration it can
be said that the Luther free fair
held last Thursday was by far
the best exhibition yet held
here. In fact so encouraging
was the outcome that it is pro-
posed that next year’s fair be a
two days event instead of a one
day fair as has been the custom
in past years.
The attendance at the exhi-
bition last Thursday was large,
and the entr-es in all depart
ments more numerous and of Patrons’ Club, Mrs.
better quality than ever before.
The exhibits clearly showed the
great improvement that is be-
ing made in live stock raising
and agricultural pursuits in this
community.
The management of the fair
wishes to thank all who con-
tributed to its success either as
exhibitors or visitogs.
Austin Briscoe and father left

The Oklahoma Natural Gas
Co. which supplies Luther w th
gas, has mailed its patrons a
letter calling attention to what
they are pleased to call the
“shortage” of gas, and urging
to secure emergency fuel for
use this winter should the gas
supply fail this winter. We
suspect the gas company is
simply getting ready for an-
other hike in rates.
G. P. David, the Luther bak-
er, is now shipping the products
of his bakery to surrounding
towns, and the increasing or-
ders indicate that the goods are
giving satisfaction. Mr. David
knows his business and we are
pleased to note his success.
Sam Clark has sold his farm
in the Peach Grove district and
will move to Harrah.
Funeral services for Alexan-
der Leviscy, 82 years old, were
held last Thursday at the M.E.
church at Jones, and burial was
made near that place. Deceas-
ed had lived in the Grovedale
district for many years and was
well known to many people in
and around Luther.
The test well of the Engi-
neers' Petroleum Co., drilling
near Wellston, is down about
550 feet. It is reported that an
oil sand has been found that
will produce four or five barrels
a day, but the bigger pay is
sought and drilling will con-
tinue.
Guy Cargill, a farmer near
Choctaw7, was given 99 years by
a jury in district court for an
alleged assault upon his seven-
year-old step-daughter. Car-
gill and his friends claim it was
a “frame-up” and his attorney
has taken an appeal.
At the county convention of
the W. C. T. U. held a few days

house down on Captain Creek.
Mrs. Wm. McCorkle is quite
sick with influenza.
. The enrollment has reached
the three-hundred mark, or six-
ty more than the seating capac-
ity of our assembly hall. Each
assembly program has the ap-
pearance of an overflow audience
during commencement times.
We have another condition
which makes us take a thought
of the future. We have packed
the high-school study hall with
seats and are taking care of the
overflow by putting pupils on
the side line between the radi-
ators and at the teacher’s desk.
This, is only a warning of what
we may expect next year, when
only three graduate and twenty-
five eighth-graders come into
the high school. The teachers
and pupils are in fine spirits,
however, for they believe that
the finest school community in
Oklahoma will look after their
comfort and interests as soon
as practicable when the need is
clearly seen.
