GREAT CROWDS GATHER TO
SEE PURE SEED EXHIBIT

Bartlesville, OKLA, Jan. 26-The
better seed and livestock" train, which
is now touring the Katy lines, is draw
ling twice the crowds that the livestock
dairy train drew last fall in western
Oklahoma, and it is very noticeable to
see that the percentage of farmers in
attendance is also very much larger.
The farmers of eastern Oklahoma
|are thoroughly alive to the benefits to
be received by the visiting train The
average attendance for the two days
ending last night, at every station, ex-
ceeds seven hundred, which is re-
markable record considering the fact
that the rural population of the state is
only II per square mile and that the
train is passing through very sparse
Ily settled community.
The attendance at the regular stops
lat Yale, Hallett, Cleveland, Hominy,
Dewey and extra stops at Jennings
was 6,400. Both attendance and in
Iterest manifested exceeds the expecta-
tions of the railroad officials and board
of agriculture and the A. & M. College
The Katy has well advertised the
train and commercial clubs of towns
are very much interested in the move
ment and are doing much to turn out
large audiences of farmers. Bands
greeted the train at Cleveland, Hallett
and Hominy.

MODERN INDUSTRY
ESTABLISHED HERE
Few People in vinita Know City Has
Only Plant of Kind in This Part
of the Country.

Do Vinita people realize that this
city has the only modern and up-to-
date cleaning and pressing establish
ment between Tulsa, Muskogee and
Kansas City? Well, that is just the
situation G. P. Carroll has installed
the only modern cleaning and pressing
plant in this part of the country. OF
course there are other so-called clean
ing plants, but there is only one truly
up-to-date place in Vinita for cleaning
and pressing all kinds of clothing.
The art Of cleaning and pressing
clothes may seem simple to those who
have given the matter no thought.
Few know that fine fabric may be
forever ruined by the pressure of an
over heated iron, or the shape of a
garment destroyed by pressing at the
hands of the inexperienced. To prop
erly clean clothes so that the fabric
care that only comes from the ex-
perienced. In our shop the man in
charge of the cleaning has spent years
of study in perfecting his trade and
knows how to clean the finest of fab
RIGS without injury. For this we have
installed complete modern system
for dry cleaning. Clothes cleaned at
our shop will come back to you cleaned
and pressed in the right way.
For pressing clothes without the dan
ger we have installed steam pressing
machine By automatic regulation this
machine cannot get hot enough to
burn for the heat is supplied by steam
and no hot iron comes in contact
with the cloth. By reason of the fact
that danger of burning the fabric is
eliminated, we are able to press the
garment to it's proper shape and not
destroy it. Examine your fine woolen
garments pressed elsewhere and see if
you do not find spots where the fabric
is burned and convince you that our
claims are true. Why ruin expensive
clothing by having it done by some in
experienced person, when you can
have it done here with a guarantee,
that it will not be injured.
Call us by phone and we will be glad
to explain our plan more fully. We
call for and deliver your clothes.
G. P. CARROLL, Tailor.

HOPE TO OVERRIDE VETO
Democratic Leaders Lay Plans to
RepaSS Wool Bill.
SENATE TO UPHOLD TAFT
Only Unexpected Absence OF Re-
publican Regulars Can Put
Scheme Through.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, Aug. 4.-Expecting veto OF
the wool bill, the Democratic leaders OF
the House to-day began TO lay plans 10
override the disapproval which President
Taft IS expected TO stamp on the unscieh-
tifc system of Democratic tariff REVISION
Representative Underwood, Democratic
moor leader, admitted that an effort would

that n similar effort would be made in the
Senate.
Mr.. Underwood and other House leaders
were confident to-day that the necessary
two-thirds vote will be mustered In tho
lower body There is less confidence con-
corning the prospects in the Senate. where,
notwithstanding the Democratic-insurgent
coalition, the Presidents veto Is all but
certain TO stand. Only the unexpected abb
sence OF a number OF the Republican reg
ulsrs OF the upper chamber will make II
possible TO pass the wool bill. or any other
tarir bill over the veto.
Democratic chances in the House are
somewhat better although the vote will oe

the Democrats on the original passage OF
tho wool bill in the House Not all OF
those can be depended on TO vote against
the titular head OF their party in the event
tho Executive should characterize the
Democratic tariff revision az unwise and
unscientifc In advance OF any report from
tho Tariff Board
Representative Underwood believes that
il the full Democratic strength In the
House IS registered. n sufficient number OF
insurgents may rally to pass the bill over
