RUNS AGAIN

"Uncle Bob" Thompson is in the
race again for county commissioner
in the southern district, making his
announcement for denomination at
the hands of the Democratic voters.
"The reason why / am running
again is because | want to complete
the work which l have begun, espe-
cially on the roads Of my district" I"
said Mr. Thompson. "The roads
which I have particularly in mind at
this time are the ones from Rush
Springs north and the road from Min.
nekah east to Alex and Bradley 1t
is my purpose to have these two
roads completed before my present
term expires and / believe / shall be
able to accomplish this. However,
shall not feel that my work is fin
ished until my entire district has
first class roads. We have had many
obstacles to contend with but within
a few months / feel sure that the
people will agree that have made
good my promises on two roads to
which 1 just referred. / firmly be-
lieve that good roads will do more
to help our county than any other
one thing"

knows him. He was elected to his
present position in November, 1916,

tion board, are today holding an in
vestigation into the agricultural
claims OF Roy G. Ather of Tuttle.

cribe it and forward it to the office
o. the adjutant general of the state
for final judgment The proceedings
are being conducted as grand jury
proceedings!
In speaking of the case this morn

idence in our hands at this time,
Roy G. Ather registered at Enid. He
put in claims for deferred classified
ton on agricultural grounds, which
claims were heard, he being given d
deferred classification. It seems that
he, together with his parents, own
some 1900 acres of land near Tuttle.
1t also appears that some of the
people of Tuttle were not satisfied
with his classification, therefore
making complaints to the adiutant
general Of the state, who ordered the

TO CHICKASHA

Z The California Railway Exposition

the biggest feature in the way of a
railv ~ exhibit ever sent out by any
section Of the country is coming to
Chickasha Friday, March 2S. for q
Two days stay.
People throughout the middle west
have visited this train in hordes pro
nouncing it a wonderful piece of
work, refreshingly different and an
exhibition wherein the tiniest tot OF
the aged grandparent could each find
many things of equal importance. 1t
is a real exposition conducted on eX-
position principles and not a moving
picture show nor a land selling
scheme.
This train consists of three cars
fitted with beautiful exhibits repre-
senting each resource of the Golden
State. Among these features are a
number of prize winning exhibits
from the San Francisco and San Di-
ego, fairs, beautifully installed. The
aisles of the cars are flanked with
hard wood show cases with plate
glass fronts and the train is electric
ally lighted throughout, thus giving
a delightful soft effect to the dis
plays.
The cars viii be parked on the
Santa Fe track on Third street near
the depot and viii be open from
p. m. to 9 p. m. Friday and Saturday
of this week.
A souvenir package of Sun Maid
seeded raisins will be given free to
each person who visits the cars on
Friday, so it will be worth your while
to make your visit on that day.
