When Mayor Starr discovered that
the people of Vinita were indignant

or not.

There are only a few men opposing
the commission form of government
for Vinita. Scratch them and some
sinister motive will appear. The COM
mission form of government for cities
large and small, is the most popular,
the most reasonable and the most
economical. No town that has ever
adopted it has ever gone back to the
old way.

Cherokees all over the country both

Craig county will produce more corn
this year than last in the opinion of

Present indications are that there
will be large acreage of wheat sown
in Craig county this fall Already pre-

There is no subject of greater in
terest to the American people than
that of pure food and pure drugs. The
wealthy are able to pay the highest
prices and are less liable to be inn
posed upon by the sellers of impure
or adulterated foods and drugs than
the masses, who have only that pro-
lection which is granted by the fed
eral pure food and drug act and the
various states acts, which are to a
great extent In conformity with the
federal law. The recent exposures in
New York, Philadelphia and Chicago
indicate the magnitude and far.reach-
ing characte~ of the violation of the
food and drug laws. Not only were
the poor defrauded by adulterated and
impure food, but they were also cheat
ed as to measurements and weights.
