Hughes, and son of Oklahome spent week end visiting relatives, After stufferingf defeat'tat the hands, of the powerful Muskogee Indians are determined to score plenty of touchdowns against Sequoyah Friday. Sequoyah is boasting their best team in years and good or bad this game should prove a thriller as both teams will be light and fast and a wide open game Will in line, featuring a good running attack and a deceptive aerial attack. Coach Lewis has worked up probably he best passing attack that Stilwell has had in years and now with some if the 'Rookies' with a game under their belt are going to be hard to stop. Vol Blanck is th outstanding find, with his accurate passing and cool signal barking. Coach Bob Cortwright, Muskogee Coach, says Vol is the best high school passer in Oklahoma and he should know for his passes really made the Roughers look silly.

Other boys who are looking good and will see action with the Indians-are: "Wayne Worsh am, Mose Brewer, a ow er in the line; Duanne Yoe, Calvin Stevens, Jack Holt, Harold Fletcher, Bob Mays, Neff, in experieneed, but' improving. Daugberty, i power in the line; Tip Hughes, improving fast; Qay McGee, real tackle; Watie Brewer, fav oring injuries. Centers Robt. Daugherty, will be all conference; Rex Bur nett, willing but green.

light but powerful; George Sunday, the greatest improvement shown on John Fergu on, of Stilwell, a former under sheriff during-'the' erm of W. Barker, has been appointed disbursing agent rjr tne relief setup in Adair county. We understand he will, in the near future, assume full charge of all the duties now bejng exercised by John Goodall. The people of the county generally will be pleased at the change, as the conduct of affairs under Goodall ias been far from satisfactory. The buck has been passed between Goodall and the case work er so often that those who attempt to find the reason for many unexplained actions have become disgusted.

The relief roll in Adair county has dwind- ed from something like 2000 to scant 600, and it is a well known fact that there is more real privation and actual suffering in Adair county than in any county in eastern Oklahoma. Can it be'possible that the office lias been used for political purposes ait the expense of people so cruelly hit by the depression? The Watts Journal the squad; J. D.

S. KNOX, County Agent. ROSS-KETCHER Mrs. G. Groom of Proctor, Okla, is the first person in Adair County to apply for the Bang's Disease test for her cattle.

According to a lettft ecently recieved from Dr. Faulks it will hardly be possible for us to get this work done until we get several applications for the test-because of the expense involved in getting a qvialfied Veterinarian to the county. The necessaiy forms for making application for this Disease control can be secured at the County Agent's office in Stilwell. zf The 4-H Club Fairs which have been held over the county up to the "pre8e ttme has 'been Very good, The 4-H boys and girls as well as the women in the idifferent communities have brought some splendid exhibits to the fairs but for some reason men folks have failed to respond and bring samples of produce which they liad raised on the farm. It seems to me that the Community Fairs could he made a worthwhile undertaking for every community i the county it giving excellent opportunity to show just what can be done even though the weather has been very unfavorable through the year.

We still have a few undelivered cotton Tax Exemptions Certificates at the County Agent's office and shall appreciate if those who have these certificates will call at the earliest possible date them. Cotton is beginning to open in the county and it will not be long before the certificates will be needed, if however, the farmer who receives the certificates has no cotton he should turn these into the Cotton Pool so that he can secure his money on them nt the earlies, possible date.

The old age pension admend- ment, even though it has carried faces a court attach by its opponents, on the grounds that Governor Mariand illegally ordered the proposal submitted before validity of the initiative petitions had been decided by the secretary of state. It carried a broad "privilege" or sales tax to finance the pensions. The homestead tax exemption amendment provides that the legislature can fix the amount of limitation from taxes, and that once fixed the "ceiling" may be raised but not lowered for 20 years. The amendment exempts property from school taxes, as well as other levies.

Turned down "were the proposals for reorganization of the'state school land department to substitute a three man eemmissioh for a five member exofficio commission, for. granting women the to hold major offires; and for a $15 a-month pension granted under rigid restrictions.
