What had been planned as sharp

Dry Farming Congress and the Inter-
national Soil Products Exposition
must be kept in Tulsa this year The
permanent Southwest Soil Products
Exposition company must be organiz-
ed And the campaign will be con-
tinued until this result is attained
At a meeting Of committee chair
men in the Commercial club rooms
last night the campaign for today
was mapped out. The utmost en-
enthusiasm prevailed, for the
workers feel that though the first
days results were not up to eXpec-
tations, they will have less difficulty
in their work today.
Captains of committees were chos-
en- last night Each captain is to
have with him two other men who
are workers for the common good
and who themselves are not only con-
tribHting their time, but their money
az well, to build Tulsa and Tulsa
county.
Each committee will be placed in
charge of a certain business interest.
Three men will today visit every
lumber dealer in this city. Three
other men will devote themselves en-
tirely to the oil men and the oil sup
ply houses. A third committee VIII
deal solely with the automobile deal
ers and garages. \ fourth Will call
on the manufacturers, and the WORK
will continue in this manner until
every business man in Tulsa has been
reached.
No person will be asked for a gift
of money. Every person will be in
vited to take part in business inter-
prise. The Southwestern Soil Pro-
ducts Exposition company, with
capital stock of $4,000, is expected
to practically pay out within eight
months and to still have left property
worth infinitely more than was origi-
nally paid for 1t by the company.
The 12O acres of land to be pur-
chased will be enhanced In value by
the erection of buildings and other
permanent improvements The build
ings themselves will be erected in
part by federal and state money and
will be left at the close of the great
