Eight Community
Fairs On Top In
County This Year

Eight community free fairs will
be held in Grady county this year,
according to an announcement made
today by A. r. Houston, county farm
agent, and Mrs. Nettie Coryell, coun-
ty home demonstration agents.
Dates for these community fairs
were announced as follows: At Ar
cadia, September 13; at Friend, Sep
tember Isl at Slower, September Ia;
at Acme, September Is; at Prairie
Dale, September IA; at Pioneer, sep
tember Is; at Middloburg, septem"
Der Is, and Spring Creek, Septem-
ber Is.
Only one of these communities.
Middleburg, held community fair
last year. Most Of the 1871 COM
munity fairs held in the county last
year were held in the towns. This
year, they are to be held in the ru-
raj communities. This. it is believed.
will stimulate interest in the fairs.
The county has appropriated $50
for each of these fairs. To this
amount, each of the communities
probably will add more money in or
der that the premium lists may be
enlarged, Mr.. Houston says.

clare national emergency in ac'
cordance ith the Esch.Cummins law,
and call into play the vast emer-
gency powers conferred upon 1t to
insure the continued movement OF

Such declaration means virtual
control of the railroads.
It was instimated at the capitol
today that some opposition to this
view has been expressed by sena'
tors whose views the executive has
sought They claim some additional
legislation Is necessary.
Daugherty is understood to have
submitted a formal opinion on the
question to the executive for his
guidance.
Issuance of this decree would re
suit in strong action being taken by
the government to protect the public
interest. The administration, in tht
contemplated step, is expected t(
treat the two emergencies as one.
Here's Plan Contemplated.
The plan contemplated by the gov

steps:
1-Governmental direction of thu
railroads and control of the distribu

Seizure and operation of th'
mines.
The patience Of the president II

Ne continued. "The territory will be
developed and the first wells will
start in the near future, but 1t is
going to take little more. These
things can't be worked out in d
day. 1t is going to seem just
little slow The apparent lull this
week is due to the slice in the crude
price. Some Of the big companies
have called their men off, because
of the crude cut. Some are stti
here, however, and there are some
independent operators who will drill
some of them perhaps starting thl

Dallas, Texas. July 24.-The only
only remaining question to be settled
by late returns from Texas first DEM
ocratic primary held Saturday, early
today appeared to be whether Chas.
A. Culbertson, incumbent, or James
e. Ferguson, impeached governor,
would enter the second primary on
August rs against Earle B. Barfield,
Ku Klux Klan candidate.
Latest tabulations made by the
Texas election bureau give Fergu-
son slight lead over the venerable
senator. Some observers point out
that remaining votes to be counted
will come from the sparsely settled
and rural districts, where Ferguson
was conceded strong following.
State and county races have been
practically settled and show con

the Ku Klux Klan has swept its can
