Cook is sending to educators throughout the state letters an- nouncing that new line of work has been created, that of Profes sor of Elementary Education, and that J. l.. Bond has been ap. pointed to the new position, with office in the Department of Ed ucation. He says:
 Briefly, the work contem> plated is that of aiding and strengthening in every possible way the rural schools of the state. The importance of the rural school problem is recogni- zed by every one.
 It has been deemed advisable to begin the work first along the line of consolidation of small, weak schools in the rural dis tricts where conditions are fav. orable.
 1 trust that every county ex aminer and county superintend- ent. principal and superintend- ent of schools will give all posn sible cooperation to this work. You can render material aid and assistance in this work by en-, couraging consolida tion of dis tricts where favorable conditions exist and by giving information of proposed consolid ations.
 Arrange for educational rallies or meetings in communities where consolidation of districts might be effected and give Pro- lessor Bond notice of such ral. lies or meetings in order that he may be present when possible to do so."

TULSA CAP TURES
.DRY|F FARMCONCRESS
HAS RAISED CASH BONUS ASK
ED BY DRY FARMING CON-
GRESS.

Oklahoma City. Nov. 20-Tulsa
has probably secured the Interna-
tional Dry Farming Congress for
1918, according to statements of the
board Of managers tonight that be-
ing the only town where the cash
guarantee was made.
Muskogee was given until today
to make it's proposition, while Ok
!ahoma City, which really had first
call on the big show, rejected it.,
according to reports reaching the
governing board. The congress at
its meeting in lethbridge, Canada.
last October voted to give the con-
gress to Oklahoma and asked the
board to name the place. Tulsas
proposition, which is to be signed up
in day or two, is for a cash bo-
nus of $4,000 to be used in adver
tising and promoting the next an
nual exhibit. The railroad lines en-
tering Tulsa, as well as those of the
dry farming sections Of the United
States. will assist Tulsa in making
up the guarantee. More than $13,-
900 of the Colorado Springs guaran-
tee two years ago was paid by rail
roads, and about as much was do
rated to the Lethbridge fund this
year.
In the International Congress it
will draw exhibits from every coun-
try in the world where dry farming
is practiced. Some of this years
exhibits came from Russia, Persia
Australia, South America, Mexico
Canada and about one-kalf of the
United States. AS soon as the gov
erning board signs contracts the in
ternational dry farming staff opens
an office IN the successful town. The
1913 congress will be held during
October.

Telephone Company Demurs.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 20.-The Pio-

a demurrer With the corporation
commission to the action brought by
Assistant Attorney General Moore
asking the commission to require the
company to refund alleged excess
telephone charges in Oklahoma City.
Assistant Attorney j. r. Spielman
Of counsel fer the telephone company
filed the demurrer, contending that
the corporation commission is with
out jurisdiction to compel n refund
for the reason that Sec. 81, Art. XIV
of the Constitution only gives the
commission authority to demand re-
funds for overcharges determined
upon appeal from an order of the
commission fixing rates end not in
case of an appeal from an order for
alleged contempt. as in the present
case. It also is contended that the
provision of the session laws of 1909
giving the corporation commission
power to require refunds is in VII
olation of the State Constitution be-
cause it attempts to confer judi
clal authority uron the commission.
