v|N|TA GETS OUT
LUCKY WITH TIE
Local High School STAYED off Defeat
Ry Remarkable Fight In Last
Part Of Game.

Turning an ignominious defeat into
a tie, the vinita high school football
team covered itself with glory in the
wonderful fight against tremendous
odds, in the last half of the game with
Broken Arrow high school yesterday
afternoon. The visiting lads were
much heavier than the locals and dur
ing the first quarter it looked like the
Vinita boys would be swamped. How
ever in the second quarter, by a neat
forward pass the vinita team crossed
the enemys goal and tied the score
of five made by Broken Arrow in the
first period
The style of play Of the vinita team
lat the beginning of the game was dis
satisfactory to the spectators. The
players seemed listless and afraid of
their heavier opponents. The vlsi-
Itors crossed the goal with compara-
tive ease about seven minutes after
play started and were dangerous con-
TENDERS when time for the first period
Twas called.
In the second period the Vinita
team did a little better and after con-
siderable playing with the ball first

Arrows twenty yard line and In a
neatly executed forward pass, Smith
Ito Wright, made the score that saved
them from defeat. This score gave
them renewed hope and they went In
to the contest with doubled energy
During the last half Vinita came

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 22.-

able to locate the parties to whom
the letters were addressed.
The letters and circulars when re-
turned to the headquarters Of the
committees were Immediately given

who after having checked more than
two thousand of them found that the
address on each was correct.
The envelopes returned were adj

Practically every block in the city is
represented in the batch, even blocks
said to be entirely vacant.
The committees attribute the return
of the letters as showing that exactl.

that these votes are the strength o

GREAT OFFER IN A FARM
A Rich Bargain for the Fortunate
Purchaser.
A BIG BARGAIN.
A. r. DRESDEN.

There are many readers of the Demo
crat SO situated that they would do well
to buy good farm at right price.
Are you one of them? If you are let us
interest you: We are offering good,
rich farm of 293 acres, in an ideal loca-
ton, at price that is sure to make the
fortunate purchaser great deal OF
money. That fortunate purchaser will
take the farm some of these winter
days and good many others will see.
when 1t is too late, that they made
great mistake in not availing themselves
of the opportunity
We refer to the Frank Day farm in
Waldwick. 1t lies between two farms
which recently sold at 800 per acre. 1t
is good rich land and right at hand at a
good market. 1t has upon it one of the
best farm houses in Iowa county. The
price asked is only $3.50 per acre.
The rate of taxation in this assess.
ment district is extremely low, and ar
together the farm is very desirable
property.
You may say that farm lands are
now very much higher in price than
they were few years ago. But farm
products are very much higher in pro-
portion; and they will stay high and go
higher.
Look into this propositionl 1t may
not be on the market only few weeks,
or perhaps few days.
