she did not sleep, and once Jean found
her crying softly. She seemed. more
over. to be apprehensive. in a tremul-
GUS, reasonless way; but when with
friendly sympathy they brought the
subject up. she dismissed it. In spite
of secret tears, she had lent willing
hands to the decoration of the gym
nasium, and now nursed her swollen
thumb with surprising good nature.
"Shall we let them in?" she in
quired. 1--WE have done all we can"
"Yes; we have finished"
In fiutter of anticipation Jean and
Helen put the final touches to their
task, while Mrs. Keap stepped to the
door and called Speed.
He came at once. followed by Larry
Glass, who, upon grasping the scheme
of decoration, smote his brow and bal
anoei dizzily upon his heels. Speed
was lost in admiration.

young athlete. "Those college flags
give it just the right touch. And soc

Glass regained his voice sufficiently
to murmur. sarcastically, "Say. amt
this a swell-looking drum?"

"Oh, I've just told the girls that

Helen interposed, hurriedly, at which
Fresno exploded.

Larry Glass nudged his employer
openly, and seemed on the verge OF
hysteria Let him CO." said he. Let

Speed addressed Helen. with mag
unanimous smile:

"Oh, l mean IT," maintained the
tenor, stubbornly. II don't want to

Facts and Figures
Shou the Wonderful Growth of Oklahoma
Since Statehood

in many places, all awaiting the mag.
ic touch of development to make of
Oklahoma one of the leading manufac-
turing states in the Union.
DR.. Charles N. Gould, former state
geologist, in an address made before
the Southern Commercial congress at
Atlanta, Ga, March 6, 1911, said:
oklahoma has enough salt water 60
| ing to waste to make 10G carloads
o. salt a day. There is enough lime
stone in the state to burn all the
lime that the world will ever use, yet
practically all our lime comes from
Texas, Arkansas and Missouri. With
as good shale as any state possesses,
practically all of the brick, terra Gotta
and other clay products used are i'm
ported from Kansas and Missouri.
With enough asphalt in our hills to
pave the streets of all our cities, the
greater part of our street paving is
done with the burned-out residue from
the oil refineries. There is in Okla
homa but one cotton MILL four glass
factories and a few oil refineries. |
We manufacture no shoes and but lit |
tie clothing. Two packing plants are
established in Oklahoma City, there
are a few canning factories in va
rious parts of the state, and most of
the towns of any size have cream
eies."
The main products from the farms
of Oklahoma are cotton, corn, alfalfa,
wheat, oats, kafir, milo, sorghum, /
broomcorn and live stock |
of all kinds. The production of cot
ton last year was over one million
bales. The wheat crop this year is
estimated at 2O,000,O00 bushels.
over so per cent. of the people of
Oklahoma live on farms or in towns
of less than $500 inhabitants. The
fact that the residents of Oklahoma
came from all states in the Union
and from all other parts of the world
accounts for the rapid strides that the
state has made in the past twenty
years. Representing the most intelli-
gent element from their respective
states. these people have come to-
sether, exchanged ideas, and in an
energetic and progressive way have
banded together to make Oklahoma
,ne of the leading states of the Union,
md the progress already made would
;eem to indicate that success is al
eady theirs.

has the moral courage to enforce the
spirit of the law as occasion demands.
Both litigants and attorneys have
been impressed with his fair rulings
from the bench, and his candidacy
for the place is attracting much atten-
tion. Since statehood Carter county
has held the district judgeship and
Marietta and Love county are por-
tion of the district, and hundreds of
Carter county citizens who believe in
the Golden Rule feel that Judge Eddie
man should have the office He is not
only a citizen of a county that has
not had a great deal of representation
but he is one of the ablest and fair
est men in the district. The opinions
of the district judge must be tried in
the fire of the supreme court of the
state and it is a matter of pride to
any district to have a man like Judge
Eddleman on the bench, whose decis-
lens will stand the acid test of the
state supreme court. In his private
life he is clean and honorable, and
he reflects credit upon his party and
upon the state in the responsible Of
tice he fills now.

w. M. KIRKPATRICK
For County Commissioner

Way back yonder in the dim dingy
past, when democrats were ostracised
in this country, it took a true blue
fellow to stand by his guns. Living
away out in the country at Fox was
just that kind of mamie staid with
his convictions at any cost When
statehood came and the democratic
party needed county committee COM
posed of good active workers in every
precinct of the county, this man was
placed on that committee. Although
he was 80 miles from the county seat
he never missed a meeting of the
committee. When the party needed
some work done out in that section of
the county, they called up this man
over long distance and the work was
done. When Allen Speake passed away
and Governor Haskell was looking
over the second district for a man to
to help handle the affairs of Carter
county, he looked into the face of this
son of old Ireland and stamped him
as good one and gave his services
to Carter county. The people in the
next election thought of the matter
about as Gov. Haskell had thought
over it, and they elected him. He has a
minute acquaintance with county af-
fairs, he has had the experience that
fits him for splendid service He has ,
made a record for the tax paying cit
izenship that his friends are proud
of and which Carter county as whole !,
appreciates. Just watch Carter coun-
ty do its duty again and put w. NJ.

office to render the same efficient
service he has in the past.

is the man who will do to tie to in
every emergency.
W. b. Frame is just that kind of a
man. He has probably done favor5
foi more people than any other man
in the county. These favors have
not gone to the people who are able
to take care of themselves, but 10
those who needed help at an unSor-
tunate moment Mr., Frame is a man
who deserves the sincere friendship
of every man in Carter county.
For twenty-five years Mr. Frame has
lived here among these people. lie
is now holding the office of register
of deeds where he has made a splen-
did record for turning out 4 great
amount of work at a minimum vi cost.
Carter county citizens will always be
glad to honor him on every occasion
that presents itself. He deserves It.

THE GUARANT< STATE BANK

If there is safe financial institu
tion in the United States it is an Okla.
homa State Bank and such is the
Guaranty State Bank of Ardmore.
That the Guaranty State Bank has
had an unprecedented growth during
the last year, is clearly shown by
the statement made to the State
Banking Board on its last call which
shows an increase in deposits of $780,
900 for the year. Which is some grow
ing if the writer understands the
meaning of the words.
Oil men seem to have taken very
kindly to the Guaranty State and this
in a great measure accounts for the
wonderful growth recorded.
The Guaranty State Bank was es-
tablished in July, 1909, and since the
day of its organization has been a
strong factor in the advancement of
this section taking the lead in many
instances to promote enterprises cal
cuated to benefit the community and
it is an institution that can be recon.
mended to all who may have occasion
to carry accounts, make loans, col.
lections, or take care of any business
coming within the scope of a safe and
competent banking institution.
The home of the Guaranty State is
one of the most modern in the city
and was built with an eye to architec-
turay beauty and for the convenience
of the bank in handling the large bust
ness transacted by this institution
Besides having handsome fixtures, this
bank is equipped with every modern
device for the rapid handling of its
There are no more popular men in
