Organizing Association to Stamp Out
Hog Cholera = Endeavor to Des-
ignate Grady as Demonstra-
ton County
MASS MEETINGS
FRIDAY NIGHT
Work Already Started : But Con-
certed Effort Needed = Officers
Want Cooperation Means
Much to Citizens

With view to enlisting the aid OF
the government in stamping out hog
cholera in Grady county, movement
is on foot for complete organization
OF the people of the county into groups
gathered from the various communi-
ties and formed into an organization
to be known as the Anti-Hog Cholera
association.
Friday night has been appointed as
the time for the forming of the asso-
citation, or speaking more accurately.
the continuation of their organization,
for during the past month several such
organizations have been formed in the
county. c. A. McNabb has been work
ing for weeks on the proposition and
arousing interest At the various
small towns or designated locations
on Friday night the farmers will meet
to organize
The primary object of these organi-
cations is to demonstrate to the gov.
ernment officers that an interest is
aroused in this county and to assure
them of the help and cooperation OF
the farmers and people in general. A
vast amount of money has been appro-
priated by the United States govern
ment fer the purpose of eradicating
hog cholera. In each state one county
is designated as a Unconstitutional
county. To that county, so designat-
ed, come the government experts and
working at no expense to the farmers
or to the county, stamp out the cholera
in that section and at the same time
show the farmers how to keep it out.
To get Grady county designated in
Oklahoma as the Unconstitutional
county is one of the chief purposes of
the organizations now forming. Be-
fore the government will spend money
and the time of the experts, it must
be assured of the hearty cooperation
Of the people of that community.
Therefore the county that shows the
greatest interest and gives the best
promise of cooperation win he the
section that will derive the chief ben
eft.
An ardent worker in the movement
is R. ]. Gordon of Ninnekah He states
that the meeting to be held in that
town on Friday night promises to be
full of enthusiasm and that the people
of that community are in deadly earn
est regarding the proposition. 1T
means literally thousands of dollars to
the people of Grady county to get this
county designated as the demonstra-
tional county of this state" said Mr..
Gordon Not only the farmers should
| be interested in the movement, but the
merchants and business men should
give it their support by joining these
organizations. 1t is probable that If
a number Of the merchants of every
town in the county would join the
clubs, 1t would carry as much or more
weight with the government men as
if the membership were made up ex-
clusively of farmers. 1t would show
that the whole county is interested
OF course it is imperative that the
clubs be made up largely OF farmers
IT is assured that Nlnnekah will rally
well to the proposition"
In the past few weeks, DR.. White, 9
government man. has spent much tims
in Grady county, having been brought
here largely through the efforts OF G
A. McNabb He spent much time II
visiting the various farms and in Civ
ing lectures on hog cholera at differ
ent points in the county, its symptom
and the manner in which it can b
prevented. The great good that he AZ
complished is but drop in the buckle
to that which would be derived
Grady county should be designated a
the government Unconstitutional coui
ty Of Oklahoma.
