for the organization of corpora

One of the big attractions at the
recent Ozark Trails convention held
at Tulsa last week was an enlarged
photograph, six by eight feet, show
ing actual road work being done by
the Kelly f. Gibson Construction com
pany of Broken Arrow. This is the
pioneer contracting road building
company in Oklahoma, and the cOun-
ty commissioners of Okfuskee county
who were attending the Ozark Trails
convention were loud in their praises
OF the work done by this company.
This road lies Just north of Weleet-
kd, along the Frisco right of way,
and the banks of the North Canadian
river, and can be seen from the car
windows in passing. This is going to
be the finest piece of road building
in the state when completed. All this
work is under the supervision of
State Engineer A. II, Collins of Tulsa.

ties to select delegates to the Oklaho-
City convention.
The union of the four organizations
is expected to cement their interests
in highway building throughout the
state. although by the union they are
to lose none of the individuality of the
work. The convention of the four or
CARNATIONS will be with the object Of
helping one another and solving in

Carter County Representative En-.

Tulsa, Okla, May 29.-Col. J. w.
Johnson, who was commissioned by
Governor Grace as a delegate to the
convention of the Ozark Trails asso-
citation at Tulsa, was the only repre-
sentative from Carter county. He
said he came to the convention to
learn as much as he possibly could
about the construction and mainten-
ance of dirt roads. He was busy from
the time of his arrival here, talking
to the road builders from the different
states and localities, and declared he
was going home with more informa-
tion about building and maintaining
dirt roads than he had ever dreamed
Of. Also he was going to advocate
the system of building and maintain
ing dirt roads in his county.
Mr.. Johnson is a candidate for
county commissioner of Carter coun-

ton Of roads in his county that he
would be found on the stump, on the
highways and byways, prOclaiming
the doctrine Of safety, permanency,
and economy in the construction of
roads. and if he is elected, he will
show to the taxpayers of his county
where every penny of their money
would be spent. He, with all the con
yontion, agreed that concrete culyerts
and standard steel bridges should be
used in all cases, and further agreed
to the using of home material and
hcme labor, but all must be done un-
der contract, and under the direction
OF the state highway department.

HOW YOU MAY THROW AWAY
YOUR GLASSES

The statement is made that thou.
sands wear eyeglasses who do not
really need them. II you are one OF
these Jnfortunates. then these glasses
may be running your eyes instead of
helping them. Thousands who wear
these windows" may prove for them
selves that they can dispense witp
glasses If they will get the following
prescription filled at once: Go to any
active drug store and get bottle o.
Optona; fill a twO-ounce bottle with
warm water and drop in one Optona
tablet With this harmless liquid So
luton bathe the eyes two to four
times daily, and you are likely to be
astonished at the results right from
the start. Many who have been told
that they have astigmatism eye,-strain,
cataract, sore eyelids, weak eyes, con-
iunctivitis and other eye disorders,
report wonderful benefits form the use
of this prescription. Get this prescrlp-
ton filled and use it; you may so
strengthen your eyes that glasses Will
not be necessary. Thousands who are
blind, or nearly So or who wear glass
es. would never have required them
if they had cared for their eyes in
time. Save your eyes before it is too
late. Do not become one OF these
victims of neglect. Eyeglasses are only
like crutches and every few years they
must be changed to fit the eyer-in-
creasing weakened condition, so better
see if you can, like many others, get
clear, healthy, strong magnetic eyes
through the prescription here given.
