LOBB|ES
At COMING SESSION
LAW REQUIRES ALL LOBBYISTS
TO LEGISLATURE SHALL REG
ISTER.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 1S.---
Lobbies will be large and of great
number around the general legisla-
tive session (which opens next month,
if the early action of interest may
be taken as an indication. There
il neither rule nor law against lob
Lying. 1t is expressly permitted, the
only requirement being that the offic-
ial representatives, to enjoy privi-
eeges in the legislative halls, must
register themselves, stating Their
capacities, whom they represent, fer
what purpose, and the compensation
to be received. Both houses Of the
legislature always vote a permit to
lobby when applied for and in but
one case since statehood has a permit
been recalled.
State institutions Interested.
The state institutions will be here
in force. it is understood for the pur-
pose of blocking Gov. Cruces plan
for a reduction in the number OF
schools. Those communities having
institutions will not only urge that
the institutions be not abolished, but
that they be given liberal appropria-
tions. In the eyes of every commun-
ity it's institution should be maintain
ed even though all others are wiped
out. 1t makes no difference whether
the town has q district agricultural
school or a university.
Practically every branch of the
county government will be on the
ground, and particularly those officers
whose places are in the balance &C
cording to the governors message.
Each is prepared to show the legis-
lators that theirs is an office neCes-
sary for good county management.
The county clerks held rallied
meeting here last week. An eXecu-
tive committee was named to watch
the clerks interests before the legis-
lature. Governor Cruce recommends
that all clerkships in every county OF
tie state and the register of deeds
in every county be combined.
If the consultations were carried
out 1t would mean the retention OF
the county clerks office, with large
amount of work added, and the abol-
ishment of the register of deeds de-
partment, the work OF the two de-
partments being somewhat similar.
Registers Of deeds OF all the counties
held n meeting in FL Reno last week
and perfected state organization. They
adopted resolutions expressing con-
fidence in the fairness and justness
of the governor and members of the
legislature and declared against the
consolidation of county offices.
Shy Offices Self Sustaining
A statement was prepared showing
the office of register OF deeds to be
self sustaining, and reference was
made in Oklahoa county, where the
receipts exceeded the expenditures
about $4,000. Other counties show
net receipts in proportion to the
amount OF business done, but there
IL none in the state, the registers

To Make Good Bread.

For long I have heard that too many
potatoes spoil bread. I've been ex-
perimenting for several weeks and find
that inclosed recipe makes lovely bread
with our common home-ground wheat
-four.
I believe the difficulty has been in
using the water in which potatoes
have been boiled. This I throw away.
Boil three pints of pared potatoes,
drain, throw away the water, mash
carefully don't put through a col
ander). Put water enough on potatoes
to make them like mush when taken
from the pot. When cold enough add
one good yeast cake.
Let stand over night, mix rather stiff,
let rise, make into loaves and cover
Ioaves, while rising. with pan or crock.
When quite light bake well-usually
about an hour.
