N MARIETTA COMMUNITY
.INDORSES GILAM'S PLANS

Marietta, Okla, Dec. ! (SpeciaD-
The Retail Merchants Association
and the Community League have en-
dorsed the move planned by J. Rob
crt Gillian Tor the banishment of
scrub bulls. The resolutions were
signed by !. d, Freeman president,
and H. K. Stine, secretary, and
pledge the support of the local busi-
ness interests in the campaign for
such legislation as may be neces-
sary to clean the state OF cold-hlood-
ed herd headers.
The clause providing that farmers
shall be enable to dispose of their
scrubs at a fair and equitable profit
is particularly attractive to men in
tcrcstcd in the bcttcrmcnt OF live
stock production.
Love county will 90 above the
quarantine line on Jan /, and with
the contemplated campaign for "a
registered sire on every farm" it is
said there will be numbers OF regis
tered cattle brought into the county
in the near future.

The headway made by Frank
M. Gault in the eradication of
ticks during the past four years
is nothing less than phenomenal,
and the area he has supervised
cleaning in Oklahoma is almost
double that of any other state
where the work has been under
way.
Carter county has been afford
ed the same cooperation in the
work that has been extended to
the surrounding counties, and the
fact that this county will remain
under quarantine another year
while the adjoining counties will
be enjoying the blessings of tick
free territory is a matter that
should stimulate a general deter
mination to chase the ticks dur
ing the coming year.

ed by men living on the farms. in let,
tiers received by Mr.. Gillian woult
seem to indicate, however, the pre-
valence Of general belief that the
state would be justified in assuming
the purchase of the scrubs at ten
cents a pound in that their elimina-
tion would practically double the
livestock wealth Of Oklahoma by
the incidental Improvement of the
quality Of cattle. All agree that the
scrub must go.
Important Meeting Dec. II.
For the purpose of stimulating ac-
tivity in the campaign planned for
the elimination of scrubs, Mr.. Gil
lam as president of the Oklahoma
Improved Cattle Breeders Associa-
tion, has called 4 meeting of the
executive committee of the organiza-
tion to be held at the Hotel Tulsa,
Muskogee, on the evening OF Dec.
II. All men interested in the im-
provement and progress of Oklaho-
mas livestock production are invited
to be present on this occasion and
join the discussion which is expect
ed to result in the death kneyll of the
disreputable scrub bull.
The fact of the move for banishing
cool-blooded breeding animals from
the state originated in Ardmore is
causing considerable favorable com
ment. That the idea should have en-
anated from a tick-infested county
seems to have given it conspicuous
prominence which has created ia
vorable impression of the progress
i've spirit OF Carter county, the resi-
dents of which recently awakened to
the interests OF the livestock indus

yerSal determination on the part OF
residents to see that every head OF
cattle is Systematically dipped every
~ days, as the law requires.
That is the big idea just now. That
the one and only way by which the
county can go above the quarantine
line next year. The state and fed
eral facilities are in readiness, The
necessary funds have been appro-
priated. All that remains to be done
is the construction of the necessary
watts, and the present is as good 4
time to start building them rs any.
They must be completed by March |.

NEW MANAGEMENT
 PROVES SUCCESS 

Washington, Oct. 31.-The long awaited report on the aircraft in vestigation, conducted during the last five months by Charles E. Hughes and Attorney General Gregory, was placed before President Wilson today by the attorney general and lmmed- itely made public.
 Delays and wastes of the product ion program, the report declares, were due chiefly to the defective organization of the work of aircraft production and the serious lack of competent direction of that work by the responsible offic .ss of the signal corps"
 No fault is found with the manage ment of aircraft affairs since the re-organization of last May which placed John D. Ryan in charge. The civilian personnel of the aircraft pro- duction board is eXonerated of any wrong doing.
 Attorney General Gregory, in let ter transmitting the report to Presi- dent Wilson says he is in "substan- tial accord" with the findings by MT. Hughes.
 No General Graft.
 The report finds no "graft' in gen. orally accepted sense, but makes rec concentrations for proceeding against army officers held guilty of dealing with corporations in which they were interested.
 The chief waste from the original appropriation of $691 1851 ,866, the re- port says, was in the abandonment ot two types of airplanes-one of them the Bristow-and a failure to salvage aggregating about $24,000 900. The figures show that last May of that great appropriation, $134,000,00o act uallv had been disbursed and that ur to October 1, the expenditure hac reached about $40 000, ,00O. Contracts let, however, committed about $47O, 100000 of the fund.
 The figures are given in answer te the general charge that the sum hat all been expended with practically nc results.
