News Of the Capt.

Realizing the importance OF tne luz
sa Dry Farming congress, and in or
der to make it possible for him to
spend five days at the big show, and
at the same time administer the du-
ties of the chief executive, Governor
Cruce issued a probation locating
the office of the governor of the state
at Tulsa, beginning on the morning
of October 81 and ending on the even
ing of November l. During that time
all official acts of the chief executive
will be executed in the city of Tulsa
and will be so written.
This novel plan adopted by the gov
ernor to add prestige to the farming
congress is expected to prove quite
popular. The governor has not yet
completed the personnel Of his party.
AS so far made up it will include his
daughter, Miss Lorena his niece, Miss
Adah Bennett, three members of his
staff, three aides de camp, his private
secretary, F. S. e. Amos, and Miss
Mary Woods of his office clerical
force. Adjutant General Frank M.
Canton is the only member of the gov
ernor's staff who has so far been
chosen.
The Proclamation.
Following is the proclamation re-
moving his office to Tulsa:
beginning on the 22nd of october
and continuing through the LIST day of
November, there will be held in Tulsa,
Okla, the International Dry Farming
congress.
This movement is of worldwide
Importance and at this conference
there will be gathered representatives
from many foreign nations, who will
come and discuss together the prob
lens that confront the agricultural
masses of our people. The best efforts
of modern scientists and the best
thought of men of breadth and depth
of thought who have spent years in
investigating rural conditions will
find expression in this convention.
mo convention of more importance
will be held in any section of the
union this year, and the citizenship
of Oklahoma should show its appreci-
alton of the compliment that has been
paid to the state by bringing within
it's borders the session of this con-
gress.
To Aid Fair.
Desiring in every way possible to
aid in making this convention a more
serviceable one to the people than any
that has hitherto been held, and in or
der that proper official recognition
may be extended the movement,
deem 1t expedient that, as governor Of
the state, should attend at least dur
ing a portion Of the convention in the
capacity OF governor, and in order
that the people of the state may be
advised of my intention In the matter,
/ hereby proclaim that beginning on
the morning of October q and ending
on the evening of October 81, l will
establish my offices in the city OF
Tulsa, and all official business that
it is the duty of the governor to
transact will, during that time, be per.
formed in the city Of Tulsa, and
urge the people Of every section of
Oklahoma to do all things possible to
administer to the comfort and pleas
ure of the delegates who attend this
convention from beyond the borders
of the state to the end that the meet
ing, while being a meeting of profit
to every country that will be repre-
scented there, will also be a meeting
that will be remembered on account
of the generous hospitality displayed
by the citizenship of this state.
an testimony whereof, have here.
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state of Oklahoma
to be hereto affixed on this 10th day
of October, A. D., 1913.
"LEE CRUCE,
Governor.
