WHAT WE NEED

Oklahoma needs much to place her
where her natural products justify.
She needs better highways: better
bridges; better electric and steam
railway facilities; better telephone,
express and telegraph communica-

own products; better manufacturing
facilities and greatly improved meth
ods of handling her great mineral pro
ducts.

are expending to vote on townlot

state? viii they bring an additional

an additional laborer come to tarry
