MISSOURI TIGERS CLASH
WITH OKLAHOMA S00NERS

Today on Rollins field at Columbia,
Mo-, the teams of the University of
Oklahoma and the University of Mis-
souri, will clash in what gives promise
of being football game equal to any
played this season in the Missouri val
ley. For in the opinion of football
critics the two elevens are very evenly
matched and should stage a brilliant
contest. Both are confident of win
ming.
Although neither coach will predict
that his team will come out the victor
each says that the elevens are ready
for the fray and will put up the best
fight of the season. 1t would not be
surprising if neither goal line should
be crossed, in whic hevent Oklahoma
supporters feel confident that the toe
of Bobbie Martin can be depended upon
to wrest victory for the Sooners.
This is the second annual struggle
between the teams. Last year the
game was played at Joplin, Mo-, and re-
suited in victory for Missouri by the
score of 26 to 0. Missouri was a strong
contender for Missouri Valley honors
at that time and Oklahoma was badly
crippled. This year the Sooners have
the best team in Oklahoma football
history, while Missouri is crippled,
Hackney being out of the game and
other members of the team being in
poor condition. The class of the eleven
is far below the average if the Nebras-
ka-Missouri game is a criterion.
The teams play much the same style
of football and compare about the
same. Both have strong sets of backs,
fast ends and good kickers, and both
will have lines which are of doubtful
strength. On this the outcome of the
game may turn, and foreseeing that,
Bennie Owen has been working his
linemen overtime, trying to create a
stone-wall defense for the Tigers to
contend with.

AVIATOR RODGERS WILL EMO
LONG FLIGHT TOMORROW

Imperial Junction, Cal, Nov. 4.-Un-
less engine trouble or other unforeseen
difficulty develops, Cal P. Rodgers,
trans-continental aviator, virtually will
end his long fight from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast Sunday afternoon
when he arrives in Pasadena.
When Rodgers reached Imperial
Junction, he had flown 4,O34 miles in
4,703 minutes. In other words the ac-
tual time he has put in from Sleeps
head Bay, N Y, where he started Sep
tember II, to Imperial Junction in
three days, six hours and 23 minutes
which is much faster than the time of
the fastest express trains. Rodgers
ARRIVED here at 1927 a. M, Friday, 184
miles from the finish Engine trouble
brought him down, but not until he had
established what is believed TO be a
new worlds record in aviation.
Rodgers, in his fight, has broken all
long distance records and has already
made distance record which likely
will stand for some time. When he
arrived at Marshall, Mo-, October 10
he beat the record of Harry N. Atwood
who flew from St Louis to New York
Atwood's mileage for that trip was
1,265 miles. Rodgers, when he landed
at Stovall, Ariz., last night, was reck
|oned to have covered 3,7O4 miles, near
ly three times the mileage covered by
Atwood; and when he arrives at Los
Angeles he will have covered, accord
ing to the same reckoning, 4,121 miles

BODY OF FRED |. KELLEY
LAID At REST TODAY

Vinita this afternoon paid last tri-
butte to one of her most beloved citi-
zens, when nearly the entire town at
tended the funeral services of the late
Fred L. Kelley. This was all these
friends could do for him who had gone
to that other shore, but was an ex-
preston of the high esteem and deep
love in which the deceased was held
by his neighbors and business asoci-
ates.
The funeral service was held at the
Methodist church at 2:30 o'clock and
was conducted by Rev. NJ. L. Butler,
of Chickasha, formerly pastor of the
local Methodist church. Following the
service the body was carried to Fair
view cemetery and laid to rest, by the
great host of friends and neighbors.
No funeral service in Vinita was more
impressive nor the loss of any citizen
felt more keenly than the loss of this
sterling citizen.
During the hour of the funeral serv-
ice all of the banks of the city were
closed out of respect for the deceased,
who was stockholder in nearly all of
the local banks.

COLUMBUS HIGH SCHOOL
WINS FROM LOCAL TEAM

But for one incident the fans thor
oughly enjoyed the football contest at
Electric Park Friday afternoon, in
which Vinita high school was defeated
by the team Of Columbus, Kans. Ex-
cept for the act of Bart Gordon, who
was not in the game, in knocking over
Quarterback Hurt and seriously in
juring him, the game was clean foot
ball. 1t was thought for a time that
Hurts leg was broken, but it later
proved to be only a wrenched knee.
Gordon is said to have stated that he
merely happened to be in the way aud
that Hurt ran into him. Others who
saw the act say that it was deliberate
act to prevent Columbus scoring. This
kind of football doesn't sit we'll with
Vinita fans who like to see fair play.
The only score of the game was made
by Beggs, of Columbus, just after the
kickoff for the beginning of the second
half The kick sent the ball to Colum.
bus five yard line, where Beggs got il
and ran the entire length of the field
for touchdown. The play was one
of the most spectacular ever seen here
! The teams were pretty evenly match
ed. The visitors had much the best
defensive work, while Vinita had the
shade on offensive play Smith and
Jones of the local team played stan
game Smith is veteran on the high
school squad and always plays great
game. This is Jones' first year and
while he is but seventeen years old
puts up a great game at left end The
Vinita team showed much improve
ment since their last game, and should
win from the best teams from now on
While the line holds well, the linemer
are not versed in line breaking. Or
the whole. however the team shows III
well and the coaches are to be con
graduated.
| The forward pass was used compare
lively little by Columbus but the locals
tried the hand ball stunt for gains OF
several occasions. The final score was
Columbus 6, Vinita, 0.
i Next Friday afternoon the Wagner
high school will play Vinita at Electric
Park.

ID. JekyII And Mr. Hyde.

The first week of the Spooner Dra-
matte company's engagement concludes
tonight with Robert Louis Stevenson's S
masterpiece. 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde" Last night the bill was Wait
ing For the Verdict, and was thor
oughly enjoyed by a large audience.
The Spooner company is conceded to
be the best that has played the Grand
this season and each night the crowds
are larger The play tonight is one
that few companies would undertake
to produce, but is the greatest tragedy
of the age. Those who have seen the
Spooner production say it is superb.

MAsTERsON DEPLOREs
OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE

To Football Supporters of Vinita:
wish to state that the enthusiasm
of the crowds that attend the Vinita
high school football games is highly
appreciated by myself and the mem
bers of the football squad, but we de-
plore any interference with the games
by outsiders. The incident in yester-
days game was unwarranted and the
offender is censured for his intrusion.
We want to win all Of the games we
can, but want them fairly and without
shady work. The interference of an
outsider casts reflection on the team
and on vinita and win not be tolerated

.OLEOMARGAR|NE DEALERS
TO PAY SPECIAL STATE TAX

The state board of agriculture has
instructed r. d. McManus, superin-
tendent of state dairy inspection, to
notify all wholesale dealers and retail
dealers of imitation butter, butterine
and oleomargarine that have not paid
their state tax to comply with the law
by doing so once
Up to and including November 2nd,
| five wholesale dealers and four hum
dred and eleven retail dealers have
taken out federal license to wholesale
and retail oleomargarine in this state
for the present fiscal year. Most of
this oleo is sold in Oklahoma City and
the mining an doll towns in the east
ern part of the state Oklahoma City
has seventy-one such retail dealers,
Tulsa thirty-eight, Muskogee thirty
three and Bartlesville fourteen.
| The state tax for wholesale dealers
is $25.OO per year and $1,000 per year
for retail dealers. The collection of
all this tax amounts to several thou
sand dollars per year which goes into
the general fund of the state treasurer
and is reapportioned to pay for the ex-
ipenses of the state government.
A part of Sec 13 of the dairy law OF
Oklahoma reads as follows:
''It is hereby made unlawful for any
manufacturer, wholesale dealer or re-
tail dealer in imitation butter or imi-
tation cheese, or both, to enter upon or
engage in the business of producing,
manufacturing, handling or selling imi.
tation butter or imitation cheese with
out first procuring from said commits
sion a permit describing the occupa-
tion and place of business of the per-
son engaged in the same, which per-
nit shall expire on the thirtieth day of
June following its issuance unless
sooner revoked. 1t is hereby made un.
lawful to operate any creamery or
cheese factory, or both, without first
securing from said commission a per.
nit, in which permit shall be described
the place of business of the applicant
an dthe business to be conducted under
said permit"
Parts of Sect. IA of the Dairy Law
lraads ac folIaws.
For permits issued in connection
with this act there shall be charged
and collected annually as follows:
From each manufacturer of imitation
butter or imitation cheese, the sum OF
fifty dollars; from each wholesale deal
er in imitation butter or imitation
cheese, twenty-five dollars; from each
retail dealer in imitation butter or imi
tation cheese, ten dollars. When a
permit is issued to such manufacturer
dealer, creamery or factory after the
beginning of any license year. the fee
charged and collected therefor shall
be proportioned to the unexpired por
tions of such year, counting from the
first day of the month in which such
license is issued"

Bob Whitaker Accidentally Shot.

Bob Whitaker, of near Centralia, was
perhaps fatally wounded by the aeci-
dental discharge of a shot gun this
morning. Whitaker was driving along a
country road with the loaded shot gun
lying beside him in the buggy In
some way the gun was fired, the charge
striking Whitaker in the side and one
arm. The arm was torn off and a good
part of the shot entered the abdomen.
Physicians hurried to the scene and
his wounds were dressed. The doc
tors say the chances for recovery are
very slight.

the following opinion in regard to the
sale of oleomargarine or butterine:

sale of oleomargarine or butterine.
Guthrie. December 5, 1910.
Honorable F. w. Gist,
Secretary State Board of Agriculture,
Guthrie, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir; Receipt is acknowledged
of your letter of the End inst, trans
mitting letter from Ed Coyner company
of Oklahoma City, relative to payment
of license fee as authorized by Chap
ter 81, Session Laws or 19O7-S.
The question presented by the Ed
Coyner company seems to be that in
view of the fact that congress has leg
islated upon the subject of oleomarga-
rine or butterine. that therefore the
state has no power to control this
trade
This position is not tenable. The in
ternal revenue tax imposed by the
United States, does not prohibit the
state in the exercise of its police power
from the imposition of additional H.
|cense. Analogous to this case is that
of intoxicating liquors, in which the
government issues special stamps, but
this fact does not prohibit the state
from exercising control within its bor-
ders. Sec. 1, Act of May 8, 1902, Chap.
7S4, 80 Stat. at L. 1874, Fed Stats.
Ann. Vol. 3, P. 1877.
Thte acts you cite, Chapter g. supra
and Chapter 1S, Session Laws of 1909,
are not in conflict in so far as the inn
position of license is concerned. The
provisions of Section 81, Chapter 81,
supra, should be following in the charg-
ing and collecting of fees for issuance
of permits to sell imitation butter.
Respectfully,
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Amid the excitement of the greater
issues at stake comparatively little at
tention has been paid to a strike Of
London women which ended in COM
plete victory for the workers.
Some $4,000 women and girls en-
ployed in biscuit, jam and other fac
tories struck, and after being out about
two weeks their demands were con-
coded.
This is a result unparalleled in the
history of London working women,
and it has shown what can be done
even for the poorest class of labor by
choosing an opportune moment for &C.
ton.
The women won, but at the cost of
sharp privation and suffering. Every
afternoon they were to be seen cluster
ing round the Labor club, in Fort road.
Bermondsey, where their advocates,
leaders of the National Federation of
Women Workers, have their headquar-
tiers, anxiously awaiting the free dis
tribution of bread. Without this char
ity there would have been no choice
but the workhouse for many Of these
women, who normally support them
selves and their families on a wage of
about half a sovereign $3.50 a week.
How they manage it those who know
the most of their lives cannot say. The
rent must absorb most of the money.
and a few shillings week only are
left for food and all the other necessa
ries of life.
Here is a case which came to light
during the strike: Two girls in a jam
factory were earning shillings ($2)
week each by exacting toll. They
lived in East Ham and had to pay Is.
Cd. (36 cents a week in fares to and
from work and shillings ($1.5O) for
board and lodging. They were left
with the splendid sum Of sixpence
week to spend. AS result of the
strike the margin has been raised to
half a crown go cents).
The collapse Of the employers before
the girls demands caused some sur
prise, but the real reason was indicat-
ed by an employer, who told the Fed
Grafton Of Women that he resented
newspaper publicity and would make
sacrifices to avoid it
