Assembly the report of the committee on

try schools the club recommends to the
Legislature that law be enacted max

Whcat-Foreign demand for wheat on
a large scale has again been in evidence.
The persistent demand in the face OF
the lattering news from Argentine as to
their harvest. impresses the trade consid
erably. This condition creates the
thought the Southern Hemisphere ouL-
look Is not as bright as has been depicL-

the fact that the demand extends to ship
ment as late as tie first of April. There

stocks oil -four at leading points are about

from the millers for the offerings OF

hired new manager for next year.
Ft Smith is in the running strong.
while Springfield, Pawhuska and
Drumright have corralled number
OF players and are progressing with
plans for a flying start in the flag
chase of next year, if news from the
towns around the circuit go for their
face value.
According to these reports, it is
rather a harsh fact that Chickasha
has done less than any other town
in the circuit toward preparing for
the campaign next year. Chickasha
has ten men of last years team to
report next spring but so far as ia
known. no new men have been
signed,
In addition to arranging for rep

probable that the subject of new

year will be taken up at the session
