DEMOCRATIC " ON EN- OF

ORGANIZE PERM A n EN- I
.CL UB HERE FRIDAY

Mrs Arthur Walcott has issued a
call for all Democratic women of Ard
more to meet at Convention Hall
Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock for the
purpose of organizing a permanent
Democratic women's club which will
be county wide in its scope.
After the organization has been per
fected delegates to the state conven-
tion at Oklahoma City. July 18th will
be named.
The women have anticipated the
men Of Carter county in this respect
and will have their organization per-
fected one day before the male vot'
ers assemble to perfect a county Cox
and Roosevelt Club.
The club will make plans to provide
that every precinct shall be represent
ed on the executive committee, and
to take such action as they deem
for the best interest OF the party.
The women realize that it takes
money to conduct the affairs of any
political club, and for that reason are
going to admit male members upon
payment of fee.
The question of chow much" was
discussed informally today, and it
was finally agreed that S5 would ad-
nit a male voter to the fold, and
they had several applications for mem
bership before the organization was
really launched.

STATE A GEN I IS HERE.
IN CONF Rem Ct WITH
COUNTY A GENT RELATIVE
To LIVE STOCK CL UbS

l.. II. Lowery, state agent for the
Boys Live Stock Clubs, who is also
member Of the faculty of the State
A. & NJ. College, at saltwater, was in
the city today in conference with
County Agent Denniston, relative to
the work in this county.
Mr.. Lowery stated that the work
has not been thoroughly organized in
Carter county, that the movement had
not been fully understood in the past,
but he hopes TO have a live organi-
lation started by fall with many good
boys who will take an active interest
in the Pig and Calf Clubs and become
boosters for pure bred stock that is
capidly supplanting the scrub in every
section OF the United States.
c. w. Callerman. district agent and
John E. Swain, of the Cooperative
Live Stock Association of Oklahoma,

to reimburse the banker who fur
nishes them with the initial cost of
the animal.
In the past IS months 2,l00 sows
have been furnished boys in the state
and the number will be materially
increased by the end of another year.
The plan is for the banker to fur
nish the money for the boy TO pur'
chase the SOW, the boy in turn returns
to the banker two of the first lit
ters of pigs farrowed to reimburse
him for the loan, this system. Mr..
Lowery states. has proven successful
and is generally observed by bankers
as being a good risk.
The initial cost of the SOW aver
ages between s75 and 500.
Another plan to finance a boy who
wants to deal in pure bred cattle is
TO purchase a COW with calf giving
him three years in which to take up
his notes. This plan. Mr.. Lowery says,
has also proven successful and IL
followed in all counties where clubs
exist.
Mr. Lowery states that the banks
have not lost a dollar so far as he is
informed, and all bankers are ready
and willing TO finance a boy with
ambition enough to want to get into
the stock business and away from the
electric light districts with all of
their attendant temptations. These
clubs are not confined to boys, but
girls who desire to take a fling at
the stock game are given an equal
opportunity with the boys In Car
ter county Miss Annie Hurry has
already established a reputation as
q stock raiser and she has the encoun
agement Of the best stock men in this
section OF the state. MIR. Lowery
stated that much of the interest in
Pure bred stock in Carter county is
due to the active interest taken by
Bob Gillian who has been boosting
for the pure bred animal for several
years and who has sold several high
grade cows and hogs TO various farm.
