GRATITUDE FOR
CONDITIONS
THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN
WROUGHT IN CARTER COUNTY
FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE
REMARKABLE. MONEY COMING.

County treasurer John j. Yell re
ceived today $14,S56.1S which is the
first money from the state due this
county that has been derived from
the three per cent. oil tax measure
that was passed by the last legisla-
ture. One half of this money which
is more than $1,000 will be available
for roads at once and will be spent
on the roads in Carter county and
will be equally and fairly divided
among all the different portions of
the county. In addition to this sum
for the roads more than $1,000 will
be distributed out to all the school
districts of the county according to
of school age in the county will re-
ceive it's portion of the money. This
sum represents only one-third of the
sum collected from this county and
more money will come within short
time. That oil measure will be worth
something like $3.50 to every child
in Carter county. The exact amount
cannot be determined, but the offici-
ais of the county estimate the sum
coming to each child at $3.50.
Carter county will be somewhat
like Texas was when it had vast
amount of land that belonged to the
common school fund. The money de
rived from that fund was from So to
81 per capita and old Governor Hogg-
who was loved in Texas showed in
his political speeches how it paid to
raise children in Texas. 1t can be
shown now in Carter county how it
pays to raise children here.
The change from few years back
is enough to melt the hearts of these
people with gratitude. Before state
hood there were no schools supported
by taxation except in the towns and
the children of the rural districts
had very poor opportunity to make
any progress. Today each district
has a good school building. each dis
trict has funds sufficient to carry on
a school and if the oil tax amounts
to what experts believe it will, the
county will not have to pay any
school tax at all and there will also
be no state levy for taxes. That con-
dition will give Oklahoma an oppor-
tunity to build the finest school sys-
TENS and the finest roads and the
finest state in the union.

WHERE WERE THE MEN?

Only five men attended the recep-
ton at the Sunshine Ward Thursday
while throngs of women were on
hand to pay tribute to the little band
of workers which comprise the Be
nevolent society of Ardmore. a mute
rebuke to the men, of the city was the
presence of a little child, who three
months ago almost burned to death
and whose mother gave many inches
of her own skin to save. The little
one had for weeks been compelled
to lie face downwards while her ter
rible wounds healed.
This is just one instance of what
the Ward is doing-there are count
less others.

address, that so few know of the
untiring efforts and work Of our little
society. We who know cannot find
words to express our admiration.
These are busy days for the men Of
Ardmore, but is not this work just
as much theirs as that of their wives
and daughters? And to what feature
of the development of Ardmore could
a few minutes be devoted occasional
ly than to the encouragement of its
work among the poor?'
The commercial organizations of
the city could not add any more i'm
portant feature to their committee
work than that which. would reach
down into the lives of "the other
half" now seemingly reached by a
limited few women at that.

Paris, Texas, July 14.-In excess
of $1,OOO,000 in building permits have
been issued here during the last two
months, for the construction of bust
ness structures to replace those de
stroyed in the fire of March 21, 1916,
according to municipal records. 1t
is predicted that within the next
three years the city will have been
entirely rebuilt. Streets are being
widened, and the new buildings are
being constructed as near fireproof
as possible. Bonds will be issued
shortly to reconstruct the municipal
buildings destroyed.

TRAVEL, so HE Is TO
BE U. S. ATTORNEY

Now Hawaii may know why S. C.
Huber Of Tama, Iowa, wants to be
U. S. district attorney for Hawaii
When the Star-Bulletin's washington
correspondent cabled the tip that Hu.
Der had the inside track for the fed,
eral job, everybody wanted to know
who Huber was and why he should be
chosen. The secret is told by the Star.
Clipper, q newspaper of the town OF
Traer, Iowa. Here is the Star-Clip.
per's explanation:
1T seems pretty well settled at this
date that S. c. Huber of Tama is to
get the appointment of district attor-
ney for Hawaii This is a lob he has
sought, as he enjoys travel and does
not need the money. A lot of others
sought it. too, but Mr.. Huber's claims
and qualifications both were SO for.
midable he was considered a likely
winner from the start. We consider
the appointment one of the best the
democrats ever made in Iowa. Huber
is conscientious. high-minded and
broad-minded fellow, an able lawyer, a
perfect gentleman. He has in politi-
cal way earned the job twice over
With little or no hope of success he
has repeatedly made political fights
to uphold the party"
