Holding one of the highest places among the various city organizations in helping to boost Perry stands the Civitan club with a membership of 40. The club was installed here November 15, 1923 with a membership of 25.

Since this time the club has grown and prospered until it has a complete civic improvement program at the present time and boasts of .40 willing workers. Rex Hoover was president of the club at the time of the installation, M- B. Woodruff was vice Murry McCune was secretary and W. Byerley was treasurer. Krisher Head Sherman Krisher heads the organization at the presentime.

Dr. A. W- Crowder is vice president, John Mugler is secretary and E. G. Cooper is treasurer.

The club is run on the board directors with the membership of the board ag fojlowfi: H. C. Jacks H. C. Donahue, 8.

W. Byerley; Al bert The club i largely responsible for Perry having a city band today and has aided greatly in raising funda for this organization. In the past they have sponsored what they term social trips to the neighboring cities and towns in the county where thu band gave concerts, Community Tree One of the biggest undertakings by the Civitan club ia the community Christmas tree which they sponsor every year in connection with the R(3d Cross. This has grown to be onr. of the big things in Perry and aids greatly in giving those poor families a Christmas which otherwise thoy could not enjoy.

During the past year the Civitar.s furnished the complete entertainment for the state meeting of the Parent- Teachers association at their stata convention here. The club at the present time is sponsoring' a movement to secure for the city a municipal swimming pool. The club plans to construct a pool in the west city park, furnishing the finances for the project for the most part. The club, although only one of the four Civitan clubs in the state has made a name for "the organization here and is fully filling the creed which the organization js founded: It is just another of those links of a chain which boosts Perry, talks civic Improvement Jand brings Ira- prorementg to the city, Noble county could not find a more opportune time to send an ufirieul- to the state fair in Oklahoma City than this year. With an abundance of farm product muter ial at hand with which to make an exhibit one could be constructed which would literally open the eyns of thousands of visitors who will attend the fair in the capital city during the week of September 25 to October 2.

For a number of years some 30 counties in the central part of the state have boon taking advantage of the advertising possibilities that the State Fair affords the different counties in Oklahoma. Year in and year out many tlu-frie fount(e 8 send agricultural exhibits to the cupitul city at fair time which show in a very effective manner just what their soils can grow. The boosters in these central Oklahoma counties have learned that it means a lot to have over 200,000 people see an exhibit of their agricultural resources. What is good for those central Oklahoma counties will certainly be good for Noble county. And, the state fair belongs us much to Noble county as to any other county in the state.

Over 217,000 people saw the state fair last year and the management is expecting a quarter million thi year. It would indeed be wondorfu if we could get 250,000 people to see what is in our county in a week's it is unlikely that we will attract this many here in so short 41 time. But, we can take an exhibit exemplifying what is in our county and what our county can produce to a place where there is likely to L0 this many people. It will be well worth the effort end expense to send an exhibit to the fair in Oklahoma City this Noble county neyer faila to open the eyes of visitors who come here but where we open the eyes of hundrds at home we can make tens of sit up and take notice in City. Plans for the Noble County Fair to bo hold at the Baseball pnnc September 13, 14, and 15 are progressing rapidly and practically all the advertising matter wHI be placed this week, it has been announced by the fair board.

The bunnors for automobiles on hand at the present time and those desiring a banner to place on their car are urged to call at the office of? the county agent in the court huiise. The posters and other advertising matter are to be printed this week and will be distributed before Saturday, it was stated. Tho arrangements for the exhibit and display tents are being made and ample provisions for carrying for all exhibits will be made. The tents will bo placed on the ground and erected on Saturday before the fair openy. Ribbons Received The ribbons for the various prizes have arrived and practically nil tlie judges have been secured for £hf i tair.

Although a number of those who had exhibits at the county fair last year have declared that they would not prepare displays this year, it i believed that all of these will come in before the entry date closes on September 13. A great donl of interest in the prizes has been shown over the entire county, it stated, and the largest number Of entries ever placed hore in a fair is being anticipated. Livestock entries clone on Satur-' day Sept. 11 and must be in place by (5 o'clock Monday September 18, Other entries may bo made up until Monday September 13, it was said.

tered three homes and escaped with a total of $33 and a gold watch, according to Fred Yeagor, chief of pOv lice. Not a single report of a robbery or even a prowler was made on Saturday or Sunday night, Yeager stated Monday. Doubtless the rain, played a part on Saturday night, stated, since It started raining about 1 and continued until 4 o'cbck and this has been the houn when they were the most active. The past week has boon the worst for prowling and robbery hero in several months and the thieves were active on Sunday morning and on Friday night.
