highway board of control: also that
our first step should be to survey and
stake our roads by a civil engineer
and have it placed upon the map
of good roads of Oklahoma; also gave

insight Of the benefits of good roads.
After talking for 20 minutes on the
subject. he gave the floor to our COM
missioner. G.. wv. Young, who also
made the meeting good talk on build
ing and maintaining good roads.
Mr.. Young was in favor Of bond
issue of 100000, and it was indorsed
by the association.
Mr.. Young also contends that we
can build better and more substantial
roads than our predecessors could for
with the township officials abolished
and the citizens affiliting themselves
with the good roads association and
working Jointly with the commission
ers, we will have before long good and
permanent roads in this county.

funds for the purpose of surveying
and stalking out two roads that was
previously agreed upon by the meet

FARM NOTES.

Rye is another crop that is being
neglected in the cotton-growlng sec
tion of the south. Rye cannot be
considered as money crop when
compared to a cotton crop, but it
makes a mighty good winter cover
crop, furnishes early grazing in the
spring and when turned under fur
nishes humus and prepares the land
for a better corn or cotton crop next
year. Sow at the rate of one bushel
of the best seed rye to be obtained
and add eight pounds crimson clover
seed and Is pounds of hairy vetch,
provided you have reason to think
the clover and vetch will grow on
your farm. If you are in doubt about
this, leave out the clover and vetch
and SOW one and three-eighths bushels
of rye per acre. This can be put in
growing cotton or in corn.-Progress-
i've Farmer.

summoned to tell of their desper-

1t is in this regard that the

ton Over March 3 Parade.

Members Of the Public Improvement
Association Of Congress Heights voiced
protest against the condemnation of the
District police department and Maj. Syl-
vester for the women's parade of March

last evening. Gustave Bender called at
tention to q statement by former Presi-
dent Taft at a banquet, when he said
washington is one Of the best policed
cities in the world
A. E. Mckay said it was an impossible
ity for the police to do better than they
did March 8, street cars having been per-
mitted to run on the Avenue up to the
time When the parade was supposed to
start, and that as far as he knew the
street crossings were not closed at that
time.,,
Rev. Merritt Earl. pastor Of the Con-
gresso Heights NJ. E. Church, stated that
he did not see how the police could
have done better than they did, consid-
ering the large number Of people on the

1t was the unanimous opinion of the
meeting that the police did their full
duty.

VOICE AS TO COMMISSIONERS.
That President Submit Names to Cit
izens' Associations Is Proposed.

That President Wilson submit to the
various citizens associations in the Dis
trict Of Columbia the names Of the va
rious candidates for the positions as Com
missioners Of the District, and that these
civic bodies have an opportunity to ex-
press preference for any of these can
didates. was the proposition advanced by
President. s. Z. Snyder of the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association at it's
March meeting last evening in the Bap-
fist Church on the Naylor road. Presi
dent Snyder stated that he thought in
this way the President could obtain the
desire of the majority in the best possible
manner. There were several members of
the association, however. who did not feel
inclined to adopt this method, believing
that it would be a trifie undignified, and
as a result the question was not definitely
decided.
The car service came in for it's share of
criticism. and the citizens were urged to
make notes of all complaints they had
against the service and report them to
the proper officials.
Request for additional lights will be
made and information was given the as
