ernor's message in brief manner,
hoping that my futile efforts will help
what | consider good and righteous
cause.
What | haxe already said about
prize fighting might be applied to the
governors views on gambling. There
is no argument against the moral
side o. this question. To my mind
there is no more demoralizing influ-
ence at work in the state today than
the many forms of gambling being
'winked at by the officials. AS to

Oil City. Okla, Nov. % The
trouble between the school board
and the primary teacher has not
been settled yet, The teacher con-
tinued to so to her room last week,
but no pnpils were PRINTED to go
in her room 1t is rumored tha.
The board will lock up her room.
but the primary teachers attorney
has advised her to continue to go
on, as she can collect her salary.
A box supper is being planned
for Thanksgiving eve. The youns
people from Snccd and adjoining
communities will lie there. The bid
ding is expected to he lively.

sick this week.
A large number of farmers bid
on land at the sale. Some have
bought land from private parties. It
is surprising to see the amount of
improving that is being done in this
part Of the county.

In other words, let the governor OF
the state be given the initiative to
force Impeachment. A private citl'
zen hesitates to take upon himself
the responsibility of any expense, al
though he woUld be willing to give
such testimony as would result in
greater efficiency on the part of his
state, county or municipality.

comment any further but will reserve
other features of the message for an

fact that The voice of the people is

the candidates which the people

Rock or Rural Mail,

Jack Conway has been doing
some figuring and his figures lead
him to believe that the Federal
government could do the farmers a
greater service by spending the
money now paid for Rural route
mail service if spent in making
good rock roads. Jack says that
the money which has been paid out
for rural route mail service out of
Monroe City would build sixty-four
miles of the best rock roads. He is
of the opinion that the "a miles of
rock road would do the farmers a
greater good than the rural route
service has done.
