offer. The special premiums OF the
hanks in this and surrounding coun-
ties as well as in all sections Of Ok
lahoma are offered in connection
with the three general contests and
supplement cash prizes offered by
the state fair and others who are IN
terested in the welfare of the boys
and girls OF Oklahoma.
One set Of general rules cover tHe
corn. kafi corn and &C .on contests
as well as a canning contest inau-
gurated this year for the first time
Any boy or girl in Oklahoma who was
from 10 10 IS years OF age, inclusive,
January /, 1913. and who is a mem
ber of the United States department
of agriculture boys and girls clubs
is eligible to compete for any and all
of the prizes, including those offered
BIZ the banks. There is a score card
for corn, another for kafir corn, still
another for cotton and card for the
canning contest. Each boy or girl
must plant one acre of corn and in
addition to the thirty premiums Of
fered by the state fair and the bank
premiums, Senator T. P. Gore will.
give the boy or girl making the best
total score a free trip to Washing
ion. Each contestant in the kafir
corn contest must plant one acre and
two acres are required in the cotton
contest. ! free trip to Washington
and rri7ea amounting to $3.50 are Of
frred by the Oklahoma Cotton Seed
Ctcshers' association while the Fort
Smith & Western railroad offers 5000
to boys in counties touched by that
road. Then there is the canning con-
test for girls calling for the cultiva-
tion of one-tenth of an acre Of veg
cables. The Fort Smith & Western
has augmented the 5000 of the state
fair by offering 1925 in prizes to
girls residing in counties touched by
that line.
The boys pig club contest is also
attracting much attention this year.

law. all state officers were appointed
by the. governor and if that section
on which the attorney general bases
his contention is still effective, 1t IS
pointed oct, all state officers should
still be appointed.
II further is contended by Frames
attorneys that if the provision was
carried into effect under the consti-
tution il was continued in its entire
~. and must necessarily apply to all
state officers.
The brief recites that the legis-
lature has not regarded this terri
,orlal provision as still in effect as
.he Harrison-Da code, which re
Gently was adopted by the legislature
contains no such provision.
Even il that law still is in effect,
the brief recites, it would not nece5-
sarily follow that a majority OF all
elected t. and constituting the body
would be necessary for confirmation
In all legislative bodies, it is said
majority of a quorum is all that Is
necessary to transact business and
confirmation of appointments is no
exception, the attorneys assert.
The senate, it is said has no rule
specifically stating that a majority Vi
all its members is necessary fof
confirmation of executive appoint
ments, and in the absence Of such
rule it is contended that the common
rule OF a majority of d quorum be
ing sufficient must be adhered TO Z!

Ardmoreite, I want to express my
very kindest thanks to all those VINO
helped me in The. Ardmoreite contes,
and made it possible for me to WIN
one of the capital prizes. For your

cry kind word you said in my behalf,
| thank you kindly and sincerely.
I especially appreciate the help OF
those who felt they were not able to
read a daily paper, but who took out
subscriptions to the weekly. Tie
large portion Of my help came from
the weekly readers which made a
\reat deal of work necessary to win,
but am glad I worked, I am glad
won and I am proud of the fact
that the readers of The Weekly Ard
moreite made it possible for me to

The contention of Attorney General

Attorneys for Frame assert that TINS
provision is in direct conflict with
the constitution and could not possl-

been the case it is contended that all

CIVIL SERVICE commission WOULD
secure SUPREME court RULING

the appropriation Of $500 as a fund
of incidental expenses OF this com
mission. Neither at that time, rOr at
8ny time since has your commission
regarded this appropriation as be ng
anticipatory Of, and applicable toward
defraying the expenses your commits
sion would have in connection with
the preparation Of rules and regula-
tions, and with the holding Of exam
inationS. And cur knowledge of the
existence of such an appropriation
ind OF the amount thereof, does not
waive on our part the right To certi
fy to the city and county all expenses
in connection with the preparation OF
the rules and regulations as well as
the expenses incurred by their exam
ination held under such rules and reg
ulations'
Then follows an termination of the
expenses incurred by the comm 'sSion,
following which the commission re.
plies to the second report of the
ways and means committee, saying:
The commission never felt that it
had any right to make recommends
tions to the board OF supervisors in
the sense expressed in the report No.
430, as we'll as the opinion No. IS, and
the views of the commission in this
respect were clearly expressed at the
time in the remarks prefacing the re-
concentrations in question. Since the
matter has been mooted, however, the
commission upon further study be-
lieves that the civil service act i'm
plies clearly a duty for the commits
sion to point out any conditions ex.
listing in either department tending to
retard efficiency, as the purpose of
the act is the promotion of efficiency.
We do not agree with opinion No. IS
in regard to the powers of this com.
mission, and We maintain that the act
by implication does give to this com.
mission the control of, and the super
vision over the conduct of the en-
ployes of both departments, the pur-
pose of civil - vice reform being as
stated above, me promotion of eff
cheney, which purpose would be frus-
trated by any successful attempt to-
curtail the powers Of this commits
sion.
"As it is no doubt also the desire of
your board to determine the powers
of this commission at an early date,
We would suggest that the questions
involved be submitted to the supreme
court for adjudication.
