BEING MAILED OUT

The premium list for the First An
nual Livestock Show of the southern
livestock association to be given in
this city March Q. 10, II. 12. 1921. is
off the press and is being mailed out
to breeders and farmers throughout
the south central counties by Secre-
tary John w. Simpkins.
The show will be held at the fair
grounds where ample provisions will
be provided for housing all stock.
The date is far enough advanced to
insure pleasant weather and local
stock men are looking for big dis
play of fancy bred animals.
The first day will be devoted to
filling entries, so that It can be said
that the show proper will only in
clude three days. March II will be
sales day when any owner may offer
his stock at public auction in the
saies pavilion which will be provided
for this purpose.
The southern Oklahoma Livestock

pose Of holding an annual show in this
city, and is backed by every farmer
and business man who realizes the
value OF better stock as means of
more rapid wealth. The institution vii,

DR.. DAVIDSON DELIVERS
|NTEREST|N c SERMON ON
bEhEF|C|AR|ES Of GOD.
At MORNING SERVICES.

DR.. +. L. Davidson, pastor of the
broadway Church, preached to an
unusually large audience, Sunday
morning. on the theme, 'Beneficiaries
Of God" from the text: What hast
thou that thou didst not receive" He
said In part:
All men are Gods beneficiaries. All
they possess they have received, di.
rectly or indirectly, from Him. Not
many have reflected upon this fact
enough to realize it, but IL is true
Just the same.
Physically
All life comes from God. No man
can either create OF impart life. The
life with which We come into exis-
tence is from God. Our bodies. with
all OF their members, are the gift Of
God. No man can create an eye or
an car or an arm or leg. God de-
termines the members with which we
come into this world. Some are born
with hearing, others are born deaf;
some with sight. others blind: some
with powers Of speech, others dumb.
IL is God who makes us to differ in
size, color, strength and general phy-
sique. The best any man can do Is
10 take the body which God gives
him and care for IL, train and devel-
ope II.
Mentally
God determines the mental powers
with which we como into the world.
They are gift from him. Some are
born with strong minds, others with
weak minds. Some are born with a
Gift for law, others for medicine, still |
others for music. A man with a |
throat suited for calling hogs can |
never make singer though he take |
music from Caruso for a thousand |
years. AL the knowledge men pos
sess they have received. They know
nothing except that which they have
been taught. The most ignorant, |
helpless thing that ever comes into
this world is a human baby. At
birth II knows nothing. All II pos
sesses is a capacity for acquiring
knowledge. II must receive It's edu.
cation from others.
Materially
All OF our earthly posscssions we
have received. We came into this
world naked and pcnnilcss. The first
hing We did was 20 don borrowed
clothes and take our dairy lunch nj
l free boarding house. In the matter

into a subsidiary supply company. BY

employed to initiate the profits that the

Commander Clement expressed as his

term n proper method Of accounting
Citing as examples individual voyages of
certain ships. he indicated that under
the old agreements operators were not
receiving adequate compensation.
Explaining the terms Of operating
agreement No. 3, he said the operator
was paid 5000 for each ship. with an
additional fee of seven to ten cents a
month for each deadweight ton. Such
compensation, he declared. was, gen
orally speaking. not sufficient under

to handle the ships and operate

EDMONDS CHARGES
SHIP GRAFT HERE
Congressman Declares Un-
checked Waste and Extrava-
gance Cost U. s. Millions
COMPLAINED TO BENSON

Cost Of operating the American mer
chant marine was raised to unheard OF
figures by graft which was permitted
ID run unchecked in affairs Of the Uniteo
States shipping bosrI, according to an
assertion today by Congressman George
W. Edmonds, who. as member OF
the merchant marine committee OF the
House. has conducted a personal inves-
tigation which, he says. has brought to
Hight enormous expense, graft and
waste.
In the course of the interview he read
q letter sent to Admiral Benson, chair
man Of the board, complaining OF con
ditions In this port. and advising that
= saving Of $4,000, 900 annually could
be effected by a sane system Of purchas-
ing for vessels that put in here.
''The crooks are trying to push our
merchant marine of the face Of the
ocean" said Edmonds. % Men Of re-
pute have been transformed by the al
most universal desire to share in the
craft. The desire to make money on the
part Of Americans Is doing more to
hurt our merchant marine than any
competing foreign power or discrimina-
tory sets Of laws could ever hope
Many Methods Of Graft
'The reports Of the detectives reveal
an infinite number Of methods for max
Ing it so expensive to operate our ships
that a continuation OF those methods
In certain to ruin our merchant ma
rine," said Mr.. Edmonds. There is
the case of one man who said he had
charged S11S,0O0 to do a repairing job
to ships that would ordinarily cost only
S6S 900 because there were number
of men who had to be taken care OF. '
''In another case there were two ships
lying In drydock being repaired. One
Of these was a contract Job for pri-
yats concern, while the other was q
government ship being repaired on the
cost plus basis. A large number OF
repair men would enter the government
ship, walk through it to the contract
Job lying at its side and then their time
would be charged up against the gov
ernment job.
AN enormous amount Of money was
made by the subsidiary repairing com
panies, that were favored by the ship
ping board officials In charge OF letting
the contracts. These favored companies
had no competition. There were no at
tempts to get a number OF competitive
bids. The concerns enjoying the favor.

out further ado.
Got SIS, 900 Dividend
''In the case Of one company. a
stockholder was paid a Sl5 900 dividend
ON an investment of $4,000. That Is
merely typical Of the profits that we're
exacted. The whole schemins was very
raw to say the least. 1t was visible at
Hog Island in the construction period.
Thousands Of men stood around ON the
Job doing absolutely nothing. while the
contractor was paid 10 per cent bonus
