CARTER COUNTY
COMMERCIAL CLUB
FARMERS SOLICITED TO BECOME
MEMBERS OF COMMERCIAL Or
GANIZATION.

Secretary West of the Commercial
club is mailing out several THOUSAND
letters to the farmers of Carter coun-
ty soliciting them to become members
of that body so that they may be il
a position to work in harmony with
it in furthering the best interest and
welfare of the city and county ana
the individual members of the club.
A copy of the letter follows;
"Ardmore, Okla, Dec. 81, 1917
In continuing the cooperative dem
onstration work by the department OF
agriculture, the state agent, Mr.. Bent
ley. finds the appropriation to carry
on this work in Oklahoma for the
year 1913 is insufficient to keep the
local county agents for a full years
work and he has called on the com
nlercial organizations of various coun-
ties of the state to supply this de-
ficit The Commercial club of Ard
more has agreed with Mr.. Bentley
to supply the necessary amount TO
carry on the full years work in this
county.
an addition to the above work, 1t
il necessary for each county to fllr-
nish like amount with the govern"
ment to carry on the demonstratiol
work of the boys and girls tomato
canning clubs. This requires Sl5O.Oo
which has also been guaranteed By
the Commercial club.
The work that was done by Mrs.
Scott last year was very much lin
il ed on account of insufficient funds.
This year we will have a sufficient
amount to give four months to the
work. Everyone who has seen Mrs.
Scott's work knows the importance
of it.
The membership fees of the Com
mercial club for the business firms
and individuals is from s1.00 to $1,000
per month. We take this method o.
inviting the farmers and all other
