like $4,000 in cash was turned over
to Burnett from oil and gas rentals
off the property of Oracle Berryhill
and there were some other sources oi
income to the estate, such as interest
and other rentals.
The petition recites that,J E. Led
better, as guardian, petitioned the
court of Greek county to transfer the
property and lands of Oracle Berryhil
to the jurisdiction of the Texas court
which was finally ordered done, after
an appeal had been taken, and ther
dismissed, by Burnett. That notes anC
mortgages, totaling $77,796.67, o

to the Burnett estate, and the remain
der of the securities of a value un
known, to J. E. Ledbetter, leaving
about $75,00O.O0 still unaccounted for

r. r. DanieI-His Book.

Tulsa, Okla, Oct. S.-The assertion
that there is no humor in politics is
proven to the contrary by the Daniels
compaign committee, supporting Mr..
r. T. Daniel for congress, in its dec
laration of principle of a miscellan-
eous assortment of epigrams and poe
try, obituaries and eulogies, includ-
ing collection of Abe MartiR's para
graphs, all of which is designed to
convince the voters of the Third dis
trict that they should send Mr.. Daniel
to congress instead of Hon. James S.
Davenport
The booklet is from the pen of
Omer X. Benedict, who makes Mr.
Daniel say strange and curious things,
and commits him to none of the pol
icies of his own party, nor to any of
the policies of either the socialists,
prohibitionists or progressives, from
whom all of which Mr. Daniel and his
manager, Mr.. Benedict, insist Mr..
Daniel is entitled to support.
The booklet is an expensive piece
of literature, and is evidence that the
"mania",Mr. Daniel has to go to con-
gress is a costly one. Mr.. Daniel
comments on his wealth, and says that
the figures attributed to him are, as
usual, over-estimated. 1t also includes
brief biography of Mr. Daniel that
admits he is successful business
man; a peronal letter to the reader,
asking him for a vote; gives reasons
why socialists, republicans, progress
sives and prohibitionists should sup
port him; advises he will introduce a
bill asking congress to appropriate a
half million dollars for improving the
Arkansas, and he agrees to do other
odd jobs for Oklahoma, many of which
have already been done by the repre-
sentatives Of Oklahoma now in the
two houses.
One of the most unusual features OF
the booklet is a series of epigrams
Towering over four pages. He also
lquotes a sentiment that he wrote in
I1S99, which he dug up to send to q
Hodge which had extracted some ode
change for an enterprise it was trying
to finance.
Once upon time Mr.. Daniel wrote
an essay on Abe Lincoln and paid {
Tribute to a friend who had died. These
too are reproduced, as evidences tha

Sunday School Union Meeting.

Though many Sunday school work
ers did not realize that Tuesday night
was the time and the Baptist church
the place for holding the regular
monthly meeting of the Vinita Sunday
School Union, there was a very fair
attendance, and the meeting was a
good one.
The census which is being taken will
be completed this week and the final
report will be made Sunday afternoon
at 8. 30 O'Clock at an adjourned regu-
lar meeting to be held at the Baptist
church, at which every Sunday school
superintendent, pastor, teacher and
worker should be present.
During Tuesday nights meeting a
number of questions we're discussed,
among them being, "How may the
superintendent help the teacher" by
Mr. Worrell, DR.. Day and others
"How can the superintendent make
the Sunday school go and grow" DR..
Day and Rev. Davis were the princi-
pal speakers on this subject and We're
listened to very attentiyely. Their re-
marks were encouraging and inspiring
not only to the superintendents but to
teachers as well.
"Is is possible to have a teacher
training course in the Sunday school?
If so, how, and by whom?" Gene Engle-
hart and Rev. Miller very effectively
convinced all present that it is pos
sible to have the teacher training
couse, and that the pastor, supefin-
tendent, or any qualified teacher
should have charge of. the course.
The time for taking the Sunday
school collection and the distributing
literature, with the least confusion
was brought out by Gene Englehart
and was discussed by a number of the
teachers.
a portion of Sunday afternoon
meeting will be devoted to the consid
Grafton of, "How would you maintain
order in the class?' Mrs. Gene Engle
hart will open the dicussion.
How, and how often should a
teacher present the claim of Christ to
the pupils as their personal Savior?
Discussion will be opened by Mrs
Roper.

SCHOOL FUND
APPORT|ONMENT
State Superintendent Submits Report

Oklahoma City, Oct S.-Statements
have been made by the republican
press to the effect that last year the
state only contributed about 5000, 100000
to the support of the common schools
and that millions of dollars were spent
for the support of the state schools.
An investigation OF the records shows
that last year alone the state appro-
priated more than a million dollars
to the common schools and almost an
equal amount the year before. We
have made an investigation of the
records for the past ten years, covering
d period of five years prior to state
hood and five years since statehood.
This investigation shows that the
state, for five years prior to state
hood, appropriated $1,26S,112.29 to the
support of the common schools Since
statehood, in five years the state has
appropriated $3,s90,SS1.95, or al
lamount more than three times that
appropriated in the preceding five
years.
The following figures will show the
amount of money apportioned annually
and the number of scholastic children
enrolled in the state each year for q
Iperiod of ten years, beginning with
the year 1908 and closing with the
year 1912.

Amount Per Capita.

For the period from 1908 to 1912
that the state has been under demo-
cratic administration, the state any
portionment for the public schools has
increased $2,622,769.66. The state ap-
portlonment is principally derived
from the revenues of the state school
land. The state does not own foot
more land now than it did prior to
statehood the only increase in the
source of revenue being five million
dollars appropriated by congress. 1t
will be observed that the 1908 appor-
tionment was made from revenues pro-
vided by the foregoing administration
since which time they have increased
at remarkable rate.
While the scholastic population was
more than doubled by the admission
of the Indian Territory, yet the per
capita apportionments have not de-
creased but have steadily increased.
