schools began leaving for Oklahoma
city today where the meeting Of the
State Teachers association win con-
vene in annual session tomorrow
Great interest is manifested in the
meeting this year as some very i'm
portant matters are coming up for
consideration. The principal ques-
tion that will be brought before the
teachers will be the proposition Of
discontinuing the state meeting and
substituting in its stead what Is
known as the California plan The
California plan is to have district
meetings instead Of state meetings
and thereby incur less expense to the
teachers and consume less Of their
time.
Just how the Grady county teach
ers stand on the proposition is not
known. County Superintendent Shep-
ard has been appointed as chairman
Of the resolution committee. This
committee plays an important part
in the plans that will be pursued by
the teachers for the coming year.

COTTON OIL
REPLIES TO
COMMISSION
Answers Complaint Made BY State; Asks
that Thorough Investigation
Be Made

To the complaint that was made by
the State OF Oklahoma through tie
corporation commission, setting out
that the various gin and cotton COM
panies through the state named in
the complaint among which was the
Chickasha Cotton Oil company, an
answer was made by the local COM
pany through its attorneys, Pond &
Melton, stating that the company
was not guilty Of the methods and
practices set out in the complaint.
The complaint was filed before the
corporation commission about fifteen
days ago and each Of the cotton firms
mentioned was given thirty days in
which to file their answer to the com
plant and were before the commits
sion yesterday for that purpose.
The answer made by the company
shows why no more storage facilities
have been provided, an exceptional
spirit of fairness and invites a COM
plete investigation into the compa-
ny's business methods The answer
in part follows.
This company says that it has not
provided storage for cotton and cot
ton seed, except in emergencies, for
the reason that there has been no
demand for such facilities, sufficient
to justify the expense thereof in con-
nection with the hazard and labor in
cident thereto, and that to require
gin plants to furnish such facilities
would, as this company believes, be
under existing condi-
tons and hurtful to the ginning in
dustry in southwestern Oklahoma.
This company says it is not guilty
Of the methods and practices set out
in the complaint, and it invites a full
and complete investigation by this
commission of its business methods
and the property and equipment used
in connection Herewith, and for such
purpose tenders to the commission
every facility at its command If
the commission should determine
that any business method or prac-
tice of this company is in violation
Of law, contravenes the public policy
of the state, or is hurtful to the in
dustry in which this company is en-
gagged it stands ready to correct or
discontinue any such method in prac-
tice. If the commission should de-
termine that this company has not
furnished the conveniences, facilities
and equipment reasonably demanded
by the industry in which it is engag-
ed. this company, will to the limits
Of its business and financial ability
seek to comply with any reasonable
order Of the commission with refer
ence thereto, or, which seeks to i'm
prove, encourage and build up the
cotton and cotton seed industry.

CASE WAS
CONTINUED

The case Of Maxine arrison which
was scheduled to come up in the
United States district court yester-
day was continued until the next
term of court on account Of some of
the principal witnesses being unable
to get here at this time.
In the case Of Raleigh Hightower
who was charged with selling liquor
to an Indian, the defendant was
found guilty and the judgment of the
court was reserved to be passed at a
future date Considerable comedy
was injected into the trial due to the
inability Of the counsel and the In
dian witnesses 10 understand each
other.
The case that was being tried this
morning and which it was thought
would consume the greater part Of
the day was the R. E. Goff case,
wherein the defendant is charged
with the unlawful introduction Of liz
uor into the state
The case against Huck Rogers,
charged with counterfeiting, was con
tinued for the term as was seven
other cases. All other cases that
we're continued were whiskey cases
in which witnesses could not be
reached.
Court will not be in session tomor-
row due to the fact that it is holi-
day.

Rock Island ShOpmen Present c. M.SIOne
With Silver Service on Eve Of
His Departure
SPOKESMAN CALLS
HIM A REAL MAN
Entire Force Gathers in Shops and Listens
to Short BuI FOrCsful Presen-
TALON Speech

There comes a time in most every
mans life when he finds himself un-
able to express his appreciation for
the things that others do for him
Such a moment came to G. M. Stone
master mechanic OF the Rock Island
shops, yesterday evening immediate
ly after the men quit work when they
gathered in the south shops, and
through r. B. Cooke, one Of the fore
men, presented Mr.. Stone with full
set of Community silverware and a
Shrners emblem
The employees learned few days
ago that their master mechanic would
soon be transferred and to show their
appreciation and the high esteem in
which they held him they circulated
a petition asking each man to con-
tribute a small sum to help pay for
the present that was to be given
their chief.
Mr.. Stone knew nothing Of the
plans of the employees and was taken
by complete surprise when he saw
the men gather about a temporary
platform that had been erected in
one end of the shop for the occasion.
He was escorted to the platform by
.R. B. Cooke who made the presenta-
tion speech.
Just word about that speech. 1t
was not long drawn out affair fill
ed with high flown adjectives like
some spell binder would make and
which would mean little, but it was
q short heart to heart talk made in
behalf of strong, big hearted men, ex-
pressing their sincere appreciation to
one whom they had learned to know
and to love
1T is an unpleasant duty to speak
the parting words to one whom we
have learned to know as well as we
have learned to know our master
mechanic" said the spokesman.
"Such things come to pass and we
have to meet them as best we can.
/ want to express our deepest re
CARDS and love for the man who is
about to leave us. want to express
our appreciation of the man that you
have proved to be to US, a real man
in all walks OF life; a man in the
shops and out; a man morally, men
tally and physically, and I will go the
whole way and say. spiritually.
''He has proved to be a man who
stood for justice and integrity. It
is our hope that you may ever con
tinue to rise with the company, no
matter where you may be called.
ITO show to you our deepest and
|sincerest love we have these pres
ents to give you that you may re-
member the friends you have in the
|Chckasha shops"
For a moment it seemed that
the master mechanic stood as though
he did not know what to say. He
then began: Gentlemen: It is be-
yond my power to express my appre-
citation for the spirit you have shown
here. MY career has been as all
should be in regard to the men who
work The man in the higher posi-
tion isn't any better than the man
who works in the shops. That is my
motto--Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you. and as you
have certainly done unto me here.
This is sure a complete surprise to
me and / simply can't say just whaf

woes Of Coach Powers yesterday eve
