Prior to the reading of the Bush
claims a number of claims In favor of
ii. L Mayhew of Deary were read into
tie* record. They showed that he got
*',000 in salary and *'{11.00 in expense
money. W. \V. Morrison of Deary said
he never knew Mayhew to do any |
work, as he always saw hlrn about j
town but admitted on cross examina-
tion that Mayhew might have been
out of town without his knowledge.
J. T. Rollins, also of Deary, testified
that Mayhew was almost blind and
“wouldn't know' a cockroach from a ,
tick.”
Miss Iva Mitchell, former financial
secretary of thu state board of agricul-
ture, told the details of placing Paul
Wilson’s name ori the January, 1923,
pay roll as stenographer at stat-1
lug that Whitehurst ordered Wilson's
name put on. telling her he ‘‘felt und.-r
some obligation to Paul Wilson and
wanted to put him somewhere on the
pay roll.” Wilson told on the stand
that he was not a stenographer and
didn’t do any work, that lie had been
candidate and offered “something
worth while” to get off but refused. ID-
later did perform services for the
board of agriculture for which he re-
ceived pay, Wilson said.
John A. Scott, presto *nt of the
Tractor and Threshennen’* association
of the state, testified that Whitehurst
placed him on the pay roll at $1<X) a
month but that he never performed any
service for tlie state and the only work
he did wits In Democratic headquar- [
ters dating the campaign.
Testimony of W. L. Taylor, Atoka,
on activities of J. S. Roach, member
of the agricultural board wtio also ;
served us livestock Inspector, brought !
out that Roach traveled In Taylor’s
ear In MeCurtaln and Johnston conn- ‘
ties, for which trip* the managers had
shown Roach put In for auto hire. Ac-
cording to testimony Taylor didn't

former state setuitor and employee of '

of no work done by W. M. Mobley,
uiithrux inspector during the month of
June, 1922, ut which time he was

House members closed their case Inst

Whitehurst will attempt to show flint
lie had opinions from the attorney gen-
eral about till the irregularities which
have been charged. One of these Intro-
duced is relative to sale of T. B. cut-
tie. The opinion was written by Erec-
ting while attorney general and held
that action of the department was le-
gnl; hut the state also produced an
opinion written by the attorney gen-
eral holding that certain cluims paid
by Whitehurst were illvgnl.
Changing crop conditions and the
necessity of dealing with menaces of
entirely different natures, these are the
reasons given by Whitehurst for ttie
shifting of accounts In the department
of agriculture.
S. P. Ending, chief of the defense
counsel, declared the evidence on be-
half of Whitehurst on the count of
shifting employees from one depart-
ment to another, will show this pro-
cedure was necessary for the most ef-
ficient operation of the department.
Employees hard at work on epidem-
ics or other emergencies one month
would have been Pile the next If White-
hurst laid not transferred them to oth-
er Jobs, he said.
As far buck as the w'~nlnisfration

The state s'-* on I enumeration for
1924 of children between the age* of
0 and 21 year.-* shows a decrease of
1<5,88<». compared with the school enu-
meration for 1923, according to figures
made public by M A. Nash, -fate su-
perintendent of public fnxtr i'-tion. IDs
figures show a total 1924 enumeration
of 700,977, compared with $23,SS3 for
1923.
Some of the counties in which im-
portant increases and decreases in the
enumeration this year are shown as
follows: Oklahoma, Increased 1,180,
its total being 33.977 : Creek, decreased
1,199, its 1924 total being 22.755; Mus-
kogee, decreased 512 to a 1924 total of
21,599; Osage. ineVeas. fi 2.300 to a 1924

1.074 with a 1924 total of 20.079; Tulsa,
decreased 5%4. with a total in 1924 of

ty was tiit by the heaviest decrease.
MY DAUGHTER
WOULD CRY
AT EVERYTHING
Nervous and Irritable. By Taking
Lydia L Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound Became Entirely Normal
Gin ton, Wisconsin.—“ My daughter
was in a very run-down condition, and
was irritable, and
would cry at every
little thing she was
so weak and ner-
vous. A_s Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegeta-
ble Compound had
helped me when I
was a girl I gave it
to her to build her
up, ar.d the results
were all that we
could wish for. I
wish that every :
mother with growing girls would try it
for these troubles girls often have. I
had taken it myself before my girl was
born, and she was one of the nicest
babies any one could wish to have. I
recommend the Vegetable Compound
to women and girl3 and cannot praise it
too highly.” —Mrs. I. A. HoLfOED,
Box 48, Clinton, Wisconsin.
Mothers can depend upon Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to re-
lieve their daughters of those troubles
they so often have. They know from
experience the value of the Vegetable
Compound in the treatment of these
complaints and many, like Mrs. Holford,
give it to their daughters.

T richinosis
Trichinosis, a painful and often fatal
disease, is caused by a small parasite
that Is sometimes present in pork. The
trichina parasite is so ^mall that it can
only be seen with a microscope, and
hogs harboring It show no symptoms
nor does the diseased pork appear dif-
ferent from pork not diseased. All
pork should he thoroughly cooked be-
fore eating as that is tlie only sure
way of ridding tlie meat of tlie disease.
