CURRENCY is INFLATED.
Hot JamaIe Men Give Mexican Silver
in Chance.

Guthrie, O. T.. Feb. 13,-According to a
report from Muskogee. the currency there
has been inflated recently by the addi-
ton of a number of subsidiary Mexican
coins Mexican half dollars and quar-
tiers are offered daily in payment for
different articles in the stores by people
who are surprised to be told by the mer-
chant that these can be accepted at only
half their face value 1t has been a
mystery as to where the great number
of coins came from, but the cat got out
of the bag recently when hot tamale
man" changed s. bill for Muskogee
man. There are several of these vendors
located on the streets and they only
ply their trade after night. IL is not
much of a trick to give Mexican change
for good United States, money as one
cannot detect the difference in tthe light
of the Pickering street lamps without the
closest scrutiny.

VIEWS ARE HONEST.
Cleo Will Put UP a Court House Free
H10can

Alva. o. T, Feb. 13.-The Courier quotes
the following from Cleo paper:
Building a court house, county seat
removal and county division are the dues-
tons that are agitating the mindsc OF
the taxpayers of Woods county at the
present time We the business men OF
Cleo. believe that every taxpayer is
honest in the position he takes in ref
erence to these questions as to what
would be best for the whole people OF
the county.
And we are honest in our belief when
We say that county division IS the only
solution of the problem and the only
means that will forever avoid county seat
wars in the county.
"A just and equitable division Of Woods
county would naturally suggest Cleo as
a county seat; therefore, we, the bus
mess men of Cleo. pledge ourselves that,
if Woods county be divided and Cleo be
made a county seat. TO build stone or
brick court house that will compare with
the court house of any county In the
territory of Oklahoma and donate the
some to the county free of charge.
