township said he believed a $25O,0OC
rbond issue would be approved; he
wanted at least one good road across
the county.
Mr.. Kayser said he believed from
sentiments expressed by people from
various parts of the county that an
issue Of from S25OOO0 to 100000 for
sand and clay roads and bridges would
carry but S1,0OO,OOO bond issue was
out Of the question. Judge N. M, viii
liams said he would rather see ten
miles of permanent roads built than
many miles of dirt roads but there was
no use to talk about voting million
dollars. j. T.. Schow wanted hard
surface roads and suggested that $780,.
600 be voted Mr.. Melton suggested
$6QQ,OOO as sufficient for bridges and
for one good road across the county
north and south and three east and
west. Dr.. Hampton OF Rush Springs,
said, I'VE ought to do well what we
do. ! am willing to vote ST 100000

mers go through paying for expensive
rfoads they wouldn't want them, draw
ing a comparison with the Chickasha

won't vote even 100000 said he. Mr.
Melton took issue with Mr. Mayes in
regard to the attitude Of Chickasha
toward good roads. "The people here
Will approve bond issue of any rea-
sonable amount" said he. w. d. Har-
graves said if there was one part of
the county that ought to be in favor
of good roads it was Chickasha THE
business men of Chickasha have lost
more by failing to get trade because
of bad roads than the paving cost" he
declared Conde Mckinley, too, disa-

ais were taken, Mr. Mileur said,
These meetings are doing good.

UNIVERSITY GOES
TO EVERY CITIZEN.
President 5. D. B OOks Explains Relation
Of State School to People as
Whole

Cherokee, Okla, Oct Specially
People generally seem to have two
mistaken ideas about university
President Strattcn d. Brooks Of the
University Of Oklahoma told farmerss
and merchants Of Alfalfa county In an
address Thursday afternoon. DR..
Brooks was the chief speaker Of the
day at the Community Institute, held
at Cherokee last week Under the au-
spices Of the Oklahoma Farmer-stock-
man. He talked to citizens on the
general problems OF education, and On
some Of the activities the state univer-
sity of Oklahoma is following in ain
attempt to be Of real service to every
in Oklahoma.
~The first OF these mistaken ideas,
he said. is that the york OF univer.
sity is limited to those pupils fortu-
nate enough to be able to spend their
time on the campus and ia the class
room Of the school The second Is
that those men and women who are
fortunate enough to be able to attend
the school spend their time in pursa-
ing studies that have little or no rela-
tion to the real line OF work they will
take up when they find themselves
