The length of term voted is nine months. We hope the patrons will prepare to give their children the advantage of the entire term. By order of the school board all pupils who are subject to tuition must pay for each month in advance, $1.50 for high school and 8th grade, and $1.00 for all grades below the 8th. The following rule has been adopted for beginners in the primary grade: Children who are six years old, or who will be six before Jan. 1st 1917, should enter school at the beginning of the term or within two weeks after school opens. Those who will be six years old between January 1st, and June 1st 1917 should start the first Monday in January or within the first two weeks after January 1st. No beginners will be allowed to start except during the first two weeks of January 1917. Patrons are requested to buy no books for children in any of the grades below High school until the pupils receive their lists of books from the teacher. This will avoid any trouble about exchanging books. Following is the list of teachers: Primary and First, Mrs. Dale; Second and Third, Miss. Grace Philips. Fourth and Fifth, Miss. Trade. Seventh and Eight, Mr. Reed. Sixth Grade and High School Latin, Miss. Carter. Principal, J.M. Dale C.M. (CHAN) PRIBBLE IS NAMED AS CAMPAIGN MANAGER.

Chambers, was born in Ohio, October 16, 1841. Departed this life August 18, 1916, aged 74 years 10 months and 2 days. In 1860 she was united in marriage to Elijah Hoover. To this union was born eleven children, four dying in infancy. The husband departed this life March 18, 1906. Five of the children were able to be at her bedside when death came. She fell asleep in Jesus and her Soul returned to the God who gave it. On Tuesday evening she ask for Rev. Price to come and pray that her body might be healed that she would like to be well for a little while if it was the Lords will. She had been healed at one time and believed she could be again if it be for the best. She expressed a desire to leave this world several times, and on Friday she ask Jesus to take her home and at nine forty five p.m. her prayer was answered. She was a patient sufferer and kind mother and left a message of comfort of encouragement to her children.

The Tattler MC CLINTIC THANKS VOTERS---Washington, D.C. Friends: The splendid vote given me at the primary, which was 3,308 more votes than the total received by both my opponents, was the highest compliment I have ever received in my life. This action on the part of my people abundantly compensates me for my efforts in working for good legislation, and, while I have put in over one year of the hardest work I ever performed in my life, I have the satisfaction of feeling that every person who is interested in Okla- homa and good government will be satisfied with my record in Congress. I have assisted in passing and have voted for every bill that will better the condition of the laboring class. I have voted for every bill that would improve conditions on the farm. I have introduced bills providing for a system of rural credits; federal aid for the construction of roads; protection for innocent purchasers against inflated bonds or watered stock; equitable division of Oklahoma reclamation fund, and many other measures, some of which have passed both houses and are now laws. I believe that my bill giving to Oklahoma over 40,000 acres of public land and approximately $200,000 will be enacted into law at the short session as every committee has made a unanimous report in favor of same, and it is now on the Unanimous Consent Calendar of the House. This matter has been pending for nine years and has always terminated adversely to the state, yet I have been able to resurrect it and the entire Oklahoma delegation feel that this relief will soon come to the state. I am determined that the people of my district should receive all the help that the Government gives to any other section of the United States. Regardless of your politics, I want you to call on me for any assistance I can give you, as it will be a pleasure to serve you. I am not sure when I can come home, so I take this method of thanking all of the people for the vote of confidence you give me. I am, Faithfully yours, (signed) JIM McCLINTIC COUNTY OFFICIALS OF KIOWA COUNTY J.F. Griffith, County Attorney J.S. Carpenter, County Judge F.E. Gillespie, County Clerk, O.B.

HOW ENGLISH MINE BOY ROSE--- Albert Stanley, who began work at the age of ten, died a member of Parliament. Just how democratic England has become was called to mind the other day with the announcement of the death of Albert Stanley, member of parliament. Mr. Stanley was the son of a miner and a mine worker himself in northwest Staffordshire. He was born in the village of Dark Lane. in that mining district. and went to work in the pits when he was ten years old. Buying a few second-hand books and borrowing others, he studied at night, and by the time he was fourteen had won fame as a "boy preacher." He could not afford to enter the ministry, as that required several years of collegiate training, for which no money was available, but he was received as a local preacher by the Primitive Methodist church, and used to stand on a stool in the pulpit when delivering his sermons. When he was twenty years old he was seriously injured in the mines. A year later he was elected agent of the miners' union, and rising in the councils of labor, entered politics. In 1907, a candidate of both the liberal and labor parties, he was elected to parliament and was twice re-elected by increased majorities over the conservative candidate, attesting to his popularity. BACKWARD COMMUNITY---"Don't you hate to see your town disfigured by billboards on which are pasted all sorts of advertisements?" asked the esthetic visitor. "I don't know whether I do nor not," answered the citizen. "A billboard is at least more attractive than a vacant lot overgrown with weeds, and nobody about here ever cuts weeds." GROWTH OF MANILA---Manila is constantly growing, according to the official census figures of the bureau of health, published in the last quarterly report. This shows that of the total population of 366,984 in Manila, 3,584 were American men and 1, 890 American women, a total of 5,474. EASILY FIXED---"I'm sorry I had that farewell tour," declared the great actress. "I don't believe I want to leave the stage, after all." "Don't worry a bit," responded her manager. "I can easily arrange for a welcome back tour, old girl." ITS EFFECT---He-This submarine warfare under the circumstances of diplomatic assurance is ridiculous. She-I think it is perfectly killing. QUITE SO---"Your friend is rather a well-seasoned man, is he not?" "Well, he's an old salt, with a peppery disposition." R.O. McGee returned Wednesday from several days visit with relatives at Carnegie. Homer Smith, the barber, is having his house repainted. J.M. Stanley is doing the work. R.A. McCurdy and family have gone to Wagoner to attend the Holiness state meeting. Not a single lawsuit did we have in 1915. One quarter million paid out in losses. R.E. Bullock, agent for the Home Insurance Co. FOR NOVELTY'S SAKE---"How can I word this advertisement so it will attract attention?" "You want thoughtful people to read it?" "Of course." "Well, instead of announcing that you are almost giving away suits and hats, why not state that you would like to dispose of them at a fair profit?" A FROST DUE-"I'm going to propose to Miss. Peacher this evening." "Permit me to make a suggestion." "Well?" "Be sure that you are warmly clad." FAIR VIEW As our Fairview items escaped the waste basket, will try and send them again.

M.A. Sparks and family are visiting friends and relatives in Arkansas at the present time. There is good singing at Gold Hill every Sunday night, a cordial invitation is extended to all, come, come.

SOME GOOD REASONS---Remember we bought our dry good before the great advance and are selling many things cheaper than merchants can buy them now.

All we ask is that you come and try us, we are sure that you will be a regular customer. Your neighbor comes because he realizes that he gets muchmore for his cream and produce and can buy much cheaper. We are paying more for cream-28 cents cash or 30 cents trade.
