PUPILS AND TEACHERS CATCH
SCHOOL SPIRIT EARLY.

Everything is in readiness for the
opening day of the city schools.
Teachers and pupils begin tomorrow
on the work of the year Many out
of town pupils have already arrived
and others will be mere today.
The pupils assembled FRIDAY in
their respective ward buildings and
were classified and assigned their
seats. They were given list of
the books belonging to their grades
which are not in dispute and Super
intendent Richards desires that they
make no other purchase for the rea'
SON that they might have to buy
again The text book case has been
argued before the supreme court and
that tribunal has in way promised
to hand down its decision by Mon
day, so the matter will be settled and
the people will know just what books
to buy. The text book question is an
important one for the reason that II
appeals to the pocket books of the
parents. The first week will be de
voted largely to review work and
the text books can be very easily
dispensed with for a few days.
The enrolment of Friday equaled
that of the first day of school last
year, which indicates that the schools
will begin this year with a consider.
able increase in attendance over last
year Institute week which has just

ings.

ment arrived Friday from his home
in Pennsylvania.
Prof c. j. Jeffries the commercial
teacher arrived Friday from Ken
lucky.

ty, has been relieved for this year
by an order of the board changing
the boundary line of the third and
first ward for school purposes only.

A WANDERER AT 12.
Who is He? Where Did He Come
From? Where Does He Belong.

Is he your boy? Do you know whose
boy he is?
A boy of about twelve years ap-
piled to Mrs. Curtis, the probation
officer Friday for help. He claimed
to be an orphan, said his name was
Willie James and that his parents
died near Hewitt. Gave his grand
mothers name as Frances Moore and
one time said she lived in Elk City
and another time in Oklahoma City.
His story was disconnected to that
extent that Mrs. Curtis doubted some
of it. She would like to have the nlys-
terry cleared up and will keep him un-
til such time as more is learned OF
him
He wore a faded pair of patched
overalls, a blue checked shirt, a
mans black hat Has brown eyes and
is of medium size for a boy Of -.
Has a bad scar on one foot. Said
it was cut with an ak and is not en-
tirely healed. Any person knowing
him can recognize him by the scar.
The boy is quiet and well behaved.
He wandered in here from where no.
body seems to know. Phone calls to
Hewitt and other points in that por-
tlon of the county brought no in
formation concerning him. No one
seemed to know who the James boy
could be. There is some doubt sur
rounding the case and persons any
where who know of such a boy are
requested to communicate with Mrs.
Curtis at the county court house CT

RURAL ORGANIZATION
SERVICE CREATED

Washington, April lit was announced
that Secretary Houston had created in
the department of agriculture the rural
organization service" and had selected
DR.. t. n. Carver, professor of econo-
mics at Harvard and a pioneer in the
study of rural economic problems as
director of the work. This will be, an
extension of the division of markets for
which Congress provided last year, and
which was to study the marketing and
distributing of farm products
Secretary Houston, deciding that the
work should be broader, has accepted
an offer from the general education
board. which has co-operated with the
department for several years in its farm
demonstration work, to do likewise in
the problems of rural organization SER
vice"
"It is evident said the secretary In a
statement today, that marketing is only
one aspect of the great problem of rural
organization confronting the nation. In
the interest of economy other phases
should be considered at the same time.
Heretofore the department of agriculture
and other agencies charged with the ad-
vancement of agriculture and other agen-
cies charged with the advancement of
| agriculture have given primary atten-
| tion to problems of production. The
time is at hand to give attention to
| rural organization"

GENERAL DENIAL
Of ALLEGATIONS
The Southern Pacific Gives
Evidence in Govern
ment Suit

New York, April "A general de-
NAL of allegations of the government
in it's suits to cancel a patent issued
in 1904 to the Southern Pacific Rail
road company to $500 acres of land in
the ELK Hills" of Kern county, Cal
ifornia, on the ground that 1t was OBJ
tanned fraudulently by the railroad rep
resenting that it contained no oil, was
made today by julius Kruttschnitt,
chairman of the executive committee
of the Southern Pacific at the hearing
before a special examiner appointed by
the federal court of Southern California,
The government maintains that the
land does contain oil and is worth $15,-
100000
'I don't consider the land of any
value" Mr.. Kruttschnitt declared. Il
would now suggest disposing of them
for Is cents an acre if it were not
for the imputation of fraud brought
up in this suit
W. n. Mills, special assistant Attor-
ney General, challenged a statement
made by Mr.. Kruttschnitt that wild
cat" promoters had caused the impress
sion that the lands were oil bearing
and that after doing their best to
make good they were forced to give up
in despair"
Don't you know that there are thres
valuable gushers now in operation on
these lands producing 1000 barrels OF
oil daily?" Mr.. Mills demanded.
The witness denied that he had never
heard that the lands contained paying
oil gushers. He also denied that the
Southern Pacific had ever had sys-
tenn for examining lands in order tc
obtain inside information as to theil
actual character before applying to the
government for patents.
