TWO BOARDS WORK
IN COOPERATION

w. D. Bentley, superintedent of the
United States farm demonstration
work for Oklahoma, was visitor at
the Office of the state board of agri-
culture recently in conference with
A. C. Cobb, superintendent of the
state farm demonstration work and
other officers Of the board. 1t is a
matter of prime interest to the farm
ers of Oklahoma that the United
States department and the state de-
partment are cooperating thoroughly
and harmoniously in this work of
farm demonstration, as they have been
cooperating successfully in quaran-
tine and live stock matters. In this
way every dollar appropriated for the
purpose, by botn the state and federal
governments, brings the largest re-
turn, and there are many features of
the work supplied by the federal de-
partment which the state could not
employ without great initial expense.
A couple of years of earnest and in
telligent effort by these departments
along the line of farm demonstration
will do more to improve the agricult-
ural methods in Oklahoma than any
other agency that could be employed

Found Man Drinking Whiskey in a
Public Place - Both Brothers
Were Heavily Armed.

The presence and prompt action OF
Sheriff Ridenhour, at Centralia, We'd

ious trouble. The sheriff found one
of the McMain brothers with quart
bottle of whiskey, drinking at the
fair grounds. He Immediately reliev-

the sheriff had paid little attention.
to the companion of McMain, who
later proved to be a brother. The
second McMain was armed, and when
the sheriff noticed him he was either
trying to get the revolver from his
pocket or to shoot from the pocket.
He was soon disarmed, and the two
were taken before the police judge
and gave cash bond for their appear

Later they engaged deputy in an

WEST REFUSED TO
GRANT REQUEST
But One Legal Officer Can Appear For
the State And That is Attorney
General.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept 17.-Deelaring
that there could be but one legal Of
ficer of the state. and that he was the
one, Attorney General West has en-
phatically refused the request made
by Judge John H. Buford, of this
city, that he might be allowed to use
the name Of the state in the suit
which he had been employed to bring
on behalf of the state board Of agri
culture to test the respective powers
of that board and the state board Of
public affairs He expressed surprise
that such request should be made.
This Office has uniformly held, -
says the attorney general, that there
is but one legal officer to appear for
the state officers, and all attorneys
representing the state or any OF it's
parts must act with his authority or
that of county attorney. The con-
stitution vests in the attorney general
the authority to determine when an
action should be brought and when it
should not"
In making this declaration the at
torney general seems to take issue
with the holding Of the supreme court
that the attorney general can institute
suits only on direction of the gov
ernor.
He states that he proposed to Mr.
Connors, president of the board of ag-
two months and half ago,
that the matter should be submitted
to the courts on an agreed statement
of facts, but that Connors refused and |
stated that he preferred to follow his |
own course He states that there is no |
legal way for the board of agricul-
ture to get into court or be repre-
sented in court except by following
the course he has suggested.
4 win not acquiesce in the usurpa-
ton Of power by any state officer he
TO bring unauthorized ac-
lions or to employ attorneys"
He declares that the taxes are high
enough now, without spending the
itete's money for such a purpose

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. l7.-Presi-
dent Taft swung up into the north
west today. after the forenoon here.
The president has been receiving
many queries as to when he will dis
cuss the merits or demerits of the
Payne tariff bill. and it is now said
that he will make his first utterance
on this subject tonight. at Winona
Mimi, the home of Representative
Towney. The president is today in
the land of the congressional insur-
gents, and there was much interest
shown in what he would have to say.
In a speech, at the fair grounds
here, before an immense crowd,
President Taft aroused quick re-
sponse Of applause from the assem-
bIage, when he declared that he stood
firm for the redemption Of the re-
publican platform pledge. for the es-

That the Commercial Club will be
able to accomplish great deal foi
the good of Vinita was indicated by
the goodly attendance at the regular
meeting last night This attendance
was the largest for several months
and all are eager for the camapign
OF city building that is to be inaugur-
ated here this ian.
President Mallen announced the ap-
pointment of the standing committees
for the ensuing year, and the per
sonnel Of the committees insures the
best work possible by those commit
tees.
One Of the pleasing features OF last
nights meeting was the address OF
Judge Parker. in which he told Of
the recent visit of himself and Dr.
Oliver Bagby to ST. Louis to consult
with the Frisco officials relative to-
the establishment of the Harvey eat
ing house in the city Judge Parker
assured the club that it was the in
tention of the railroad company to
begin the erection of the building for
this eating house, just east of the
passenger station, in the near future,
as the company is anxious to get the
eating house established as is the
town. The report of Judge Parker
was a little disconcerting to those
who hoped that the division might be
from Alton to this city as the
judge said that as far as he knew
there was not much likelihood of a
change being made. The Frisco ow-
ing to the branch to Miami and Kan
sas City, does not looA upon Vinita
with much favor as division point. |
Secretary Davidson reported the es-
tablishment in this city, within the
next few weeks, of $4,000 plant for
The manufacture of cement products, |
such as cement tile, shingles, col I
lmns, and all kinds of fancy articles |
lor builders. This plant is to be es-
.ablished by N. L. Gartner and as
iociates, of Chillicothe, O.. and the \
contracts for the lots have already
oeen signed. The new plant will be
ocated on First street just north OF
rahlequah avenue and along the Katy
pur. already built.
This plant will employ thirty or
orty men, and will be one Of the big
,est industries in the city This is

nent business is as yet in its in

Every season finds the American wo-
apparel and this season the long coal
that completely covers one from neck
to feet is the marked outcome of this
demand.
The Princess dress with lace sleeve
and guimpe while "a beautiful thing
and SO very desirable for indoor wear is
not suitable for outdoor wear and can
not be worn from house to church or
garden or elsewhere after dark without
some sort of covering. The first of the
long coats appeared at the summer gar
dens and made of Pongee, serge or 9TH
er such material at once caught the
fancy of the public and appealed to
to them as the proper covering for the
Princess dress. The manufacturers
quick to see the trend of this demand
planned their winter coats along this
line and it is freely predicted that the
exception to the long coat this winter
will be regarded as a freak.
OF course there is one exception for
early Fall wear before the weather gets
cold enough for heavy coats, and that
is the opera cape for evening wear. But
with the colder weather the "a inch
coat will be the thing.
The Great Coat as it Is called is made
in the medium weight broadcloths, CO.
verts, bedfords and modest mixtures.
The plain colors will be in best de
mand of course as they can be worn
season after season but the fancies as
shown in the diagonals will be worn
by the business woman who seldom
wears q coat longer than one season.
The Moyen Age ideas are to be seen
in the Great Coats but are expressed by
the arrangement Q fthe trimming or in
the large metal buttons. Long beauti-
rul lines is the rule with braids at the
hip line to bring out the long waist eff
feet. The back is snugly fitted yet is
not what we would call fitted. The
long lines make the fitted appearance
easy to produce and the garments for
Fall will be the best fitting we have
had for years.
The collars to the Great Coat will be
conventional lapel and collar with a
tendency to Dutch collars and shawl
collars. We want u finery beneath
to peep out and the lapel opening will
be larger than last season.
