ANOTHER VICTORY
FOR CRUCE

Oklahoma City, April 12.-The su-
preme court yesterday sustained Gov
ernor Cruce in his appointment of a
county assessor in Woods county and
reverses action of District Judge r. H.
Loofbourrow of the lower court.
There is more or less politics in
the original proceeds in the case un-
der the new county assessor law. Gov
ernor Cruce appointed w. t. Hatfield
assessor Woods county. Hatfield re-
signed and the governor then appoint.
ed Anon McKeeyer.
These appointments were said to
have been made without consulting
the democratic organization of the
county In the appointment of sue
cessor to Hatfield, the county commits
sioners protested and claimed they
had the right to select successor and
placed j. w Colvin on the job. The
commissioners contended that the of
flee was county office and when the
governor had exercised his right and
made the original appointment his
powers stopped
The supreme court yesterday, how
ever, held that under the county asses
sor law it was made apparent by the
legislature that they intended the gov.
ernor TO have the appointive power
during the time the Office was an ap-
pointive one and that was throughout
the year 1912.
Section ] of the law in question
says the supreme court, gives the gov
ernor sole power to make appoint
ments to fill the Office of country as
SCISSOR, and such power continues unit
successor of the appointee of the
governor is elected and qualified.

THOUSAND BOYS
CORN CLUB

Columbia, April Is. - (Special.) -
One thousand boys in school together
is not rare sight but gathering of
one thousand school boys around
banquet board is unique. And when
it is said that these one thousand boys
are Corn Club boys, from all the corn
growing states, what sight it will
be-
This is the plan of the National
Corn Exposition management, to have
a great exposition school for prize
winners in the county contests of the
Boys Corn Clubs, as conducted
throughout the Southern States by the
Federal Farm Demonstration bureau,
and the city council of Columbia,
where the corn exposition is to be
held next January, has announced
that the city will give a banquet to
the one thousand or more boys attend
ing the exposition school.
The school will consist of the two
boys in each county winning first and
second place in the Boys Corn Club
contests The school will open on
Monday, January 27th, 1918, the open
ing day of the exposition, and will
continue one week. The faculty will
consist of agricultural experts from all
parts of the country who will be in at
tendance on the exposition, which is
much more than mere corn show
1t is a great national agricultural ex-
position. not being confined to corn
alone, and the opportunity which it
affords for agricultural education is
unexcelled.
The boys attending the exposition
school will be quartered in a large
building, near the main exposition
buildings, and they will be in charge
of representatives of the farm demon
stration work. The boys will be or
ganized into a semi-military orfianiza-
ton, and while the men of the demon
stration department will have close
supervision over them, it is planned
that the boys themselves will be given
certain responsibilities. They will
visit the exhibits in the mornings and
in the afternoons will have parades,
and will be given special instruction
in corn judging, stock Judging and the
like. The boys will be asked to pre-
pare reports of what they see and the
best of these reports will be sent to
the home papers for publication.
Then on Saturday night, the last
night, comes the banquet, given by
the city of Columbia in honor of the
Corn Club boys. There will be speeches
by some of the most notable men in
the country, and in fact it will be a
genuine banquet, just like grown-up
folks have.
Prof o. B. Martin, assistant in
charge of the boys department of the
farm demonstration work, will be in
charge of all preliminary arrange
ments for the exposition school, and
he has entered upon the work with
characteristic enthusiasm an denergy.

The "Kilties."

Not satisfied with renown in their
own country, the "Kilties," Canadas S
greatest concert band, have made
themselves internationally famous.
They have travelled it is said over four
hundred thousand miles and have CIV
en- over six thousand concerts in the
principal cities of twenty different
countries The ''Kilties" have been
dubbed the globe-trotters" by the
people OF various nations and they
deserve the name for so extensive
have been their wanderings that they
have sailed ON every ocean OF the
globe. Their last foreign tour in
which the wanderers completely cir
cled the globe, was eighty-siX thousand
miles long an dit required over two
years of the globe-trotters time. With
in itself this remarkable record is
surely proof that there is something
about the "Kilties" that almost every
body likes, and the reports from the
various American cities the "Kilties"
have played on their present tour go
to show that they still retain that
something about themselves that have
made them internationally famous.
Great enthusiasm is being displayed
in this city over the coming of this
exceptional attraction and music low
ers who are fortunate enough to hear
them and who enjoy high class novelty
with their classic music, such as folk
dancing, bag-piping, the Scotch High
land dances and various humoresques
by the band, will have feast of music
ranging in musical Importance from a
simple humorous Interpretation of the
old tune "Arkansaw Traveller" to the
best works of the great masters OF
music.
