Tulsa, Okla, Aug. 2-Plans for a
statewide encampment of Oklahoma
Boy Scouts, to be held on the banks
of beautiful Verdigris lake about
August 26, are being made by c. e.
Buchner of Tulsa, secretary of the
local Y. NJ. C. A. and scout commits
sioner for the city. The outing will
be one of the largest movements in

homa and is expected to prove a big
success.
Scout Commissioner Buchner has
sent detailed plans of the outing to
Boy Scout commissioners and scout
masters in Muskogee, Sapulpa, Clare

Scouts in all parts of Oklahoma are
requested to communicate with the
Tulsa commissioner regarding this
enterprise.
The Tulsa Scout council undertook
the promotion of a camp for Boy
Scouts of Oklahoma, following their
decision to postpone the proposed
eastern trip of Tulsa Scouts until next

pulpa and Muskogee Scouts are al
ready enthusiastically preparing to
send large delegations to the camp.
The cost of the camp will be $5 for
the ten days from each boy, This will
include the cost of provisions, boat
hire, transportation of supplies from
the railroad station and other camp
incidentals. Every troop will furnish
its own waterproof tents Boys from
the closer towns will march to the
camp and save railroad fare.
Verdigris station is p miles north
east of Tulsa on the Frisco. The
camp site, which was visited by Tulsa
Scouts on two occasions this summer,

HARD BLOW
TO INDEPENDENTS
Will prevent Electors Affiliated With
One Party to Cast Vote on
Ballot Of Another.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 2.-Ruling of
the criminal court of appeals in the
habeas corpus case brought in Okla
homa county that those registered as
Independents have no standing in the
primary election wilr exclude from
next Tuesdays voting large number
of Oklahoma electors. 1t will also pre-
vent those afiliating with one party to
vote the ballot of another. In large
numbers democrats and republicans
in cities of the first class this year
registered as Independents, under the
belief they would be permitted to exer-
else free will in selecting nominees
of the party whose ticket they were
inclined to vote in the fall, and the
decision comes as q severe blow to this
class, since it was not delivered until
after the time for registering had
closed.
The courts ruling is particularly dis
astrous to the ultra progressives of
both leading parties. Many democrats
wanted to follow the progressive wave
by assisting in the nomination Of pro-
gressive republicans, while there were
republicans wanting to support Wilson
and Marshall and thought the only way
they could do so was by registering as
Independents The Bull Moosers have
been delivered body blow also. In
scores they registered as Independents,
proposing to vote in the general cleo
tion for the democratic nominees in
event the Rooseveltian chances were
on the wane at election time The de-
cision has no application to the gen
eral election. Then the voter enters
the election booth with a sheet bear
ing the names of candidates of all par
ties. Previous registration cuts no
figure upon how the elector votes, and
affords the progressive republican or
strictly Independent voter an oppor-
tunity to cast his ballot for Wilson if
he desires.
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1912-08-02

lahoma law, do as he pleases, irrespec-
tive of his registration. However, he
would be limited in his primary choice
to the candidate on one ticket only.
The opinion sustains the ruling of Ben
Riley, secretary of the state election
board. Copies of the courts decision
will be sent to all election officers,
Riley says, with instructions to rigidly
enforce it. The affidavit rule will also
be exacted by requiring that the cleo
tor agree to support the nominees of
the party whose ticket he votes in the
primary. There is no way TO enforce
the affidavit requirement, particularly
for the general election, but as a gen
eral thing, Riley says, men are hon
est, and if they agree to a situation
they will abide by it.
1t is expected Governor Cruce will
recommend to the next legislature
tightening the election laws so the
voter will have no option as between
tickets in the primary election, but re.
quire him to vote as he elects to reg
lister. 1t is little difficult to deter
mine what the Oklahoma election law
provides. Legislatures at every ses
sion have taken a whack at it. Mem
bers of both parties have done the
same, and 1t is almost certain, whether
the governor recommends changes OIL
not, bills will be offered seeking to
corsect the evils as the parties view
them. Republicans are circulating
petitions to initiate their fair elec
ton law"

WE NEED MORE HENS BRED TO
LAY.
\ S TO selecting a breed, it is large
IA ly a matter of taste. The main
point to be considered is, has the
owner from whom you expect to buy
bred his chickens to lay or has he
bred solely with reference to exhibit
ing them in the show pen. Any pure
breed will produce eggs if they have
laying ancestry.
The writer is of the opinion that
too much stress is being placed upon
shape. correctness of the color of the
birds plumage, it's bill and it's wing,
etc., rather than the egg record that
the hen has. She could have the
points of the famous Peggy and yet
lay no more eggs than the commonest
hen on the average farm, and yet
she would bring a top-notch price,
sold to poultry fancier
If we had more breeders who were
trap-nesting their birds and could
sell chickens as cows are sold, on
what they produce, rather than their
good looks, it would mean that the
poultry industry had taken new
turn and many fowls would be pro-
duced which would put the balance
on the right side of the ledger and
fewer birds would be raised to exhib-
it in the poultry show that graded on
looks rather than on results in eggs.

SOME HINTS FOR THE BEGINNER.
ID EAD every good article you can
N find on the subject of poultry.
and mentally digest the same. Sub.
scribe for at least one good poultry
journal.
Decide upon the branch of the
work you intend to pursue, then buy
your stock or eggs accordingly. For
an all-purpose fowl, the American
class is considered the best, and we
have found them to be so.
Do not expect to get high-scoring
exhibition fowls for the price good
utility breeders are worth. They
don't sell that way.
When writing an advertiser. state
whether you intend to raise for onIv
utility purposes. or whether Won in
tend to combine the fancy with the
utility. This will greatly aid breed
ers in pricing inquirers the kind of
stock and eggs they need for their
purpose, and will be a saving of
time for both parties.
