all southern Oklahoma institution.
]. w. Simpkins, county farm agent,
is already working up a premium list
for the show, and is being assisted
by breeders in the county, many OF
whom signified their willingness to
get behind the proposition and make
it one really worth while.
Substantial Premiums
The details have not been fully
worked out, but several breeders have
announced that they will give substan-
tial premiums consisting of blooded
livestock to the boys OF the county
stock breeders.
John Griffis has informed Mr..

nesday, Oct. 49,
Waite was born at Burlington
Iowa, about 2S years ago. He at
tended the public schools there and
did about the same as any normal
child until he was IA years old when
he developed taste for comical
capers that kept him on stool In
front of the class for the greater part
Of the time.
Shortly after this troup OF Indian
club jugglers attracted Waites' atten-
ton. He got q booking with them IN
Ringling's Circus where he remained
until 1905. During that time he spent
the greater part of his leisure hours
covorting with the clowns. Later
he decided to make clowning his pro-
fession. Since that time he has

trips to Europe with the big tops and
while abroad become known as the
man that made millions laugh daily.
All the costumes the several clowns
wear, the paraphernalia they use in
clown acts are the properties of Waite
Each day must find some new feat
ure in the clown numbers so the
funsters themselves will have some
thing to keep them awake.
Then too one has to watch the cur
rent events of the day so there will
be interesting and worthwhile thing
in clown acts. Just getting up max
ing falls, running and dressing ridi
culous does not make n clown.
Each day there is a different audi
ence and the program you have sc
up for the day doesn't strike HON

With "A recall petition in the hands

row morning asking for the recall of
the mayor and board Of city commits
sioners.. and with the fact practically
assured that sufficient number of
slgners will speedily be secured i'm
order to make the plea OF the people
effective, wise ones are beginning
to cast about for suitable men to put
up for mayor and commissioners to
run against the present incumbents,
as 1t Is almost certainty that in
the event of recall they will all be
candidates for the jobs again.
A few leaders were in conference
yesterday afternoon with this object
in view, and several names were mem
toned as possible candidates, but as
none of the parties were present IL
was decided to consult them first be-
fore making any definite announce
ment.
Who Will Sacrifice for City
