BAN ON EXPENSIVE
GRADUATION GOWNS
Muskogee, Ok., Sept. 6.—There
will be no more graduation gowns
In the Muskogee high schools, nor
will any flowers be permitted to be
given during graduation exercises.
This was decided *upon <at a meet-
ing of the Muskogee school board.
The board will furnish each girl
graduate with a cap and gown for
graduallon, and each girl, no matter
whether she be rich or poor, will be
dressed the same. Regarding the
new rule, Superintendent Morris
says:
"Some parents have spent as
much as $200 for a dress for their
daughter at commencement exer-
cises. This embarrasses members
of the class who come from poorer
families. Last year we tried to reg-
ulate It by requiring each girl to
make ner own graduation dress, hut
this did not prevent a few of them
from having costly gowns. We are
trying to counteract the tendency
toward a dress affair. No flowers
or presents of any kind will be per-
mitted to be given to girls a|t any
entertainment during graduation
exercises, and dancing will not be
allowed In school buildings.'’
RuleB along this line were adopt-
ed after due deliberation, and
Superintendent Monroe says they
must bn strictly adhered to.

To Vote on Recall and Prohibition.
Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 6.—Ar-
kansas voters will go to the polls
next Monday to select a complete
set of state and county officers
and vote for or against the adoption
of a number of proposed amend-
ments to the state constitution. As
a victory for the democratic ticket
headed by Congressman Joe T.
Robinson as the candidal for gov-
ernor is a foregone conclusion, all
interest In the election is confined
practically to the vote on the pro-
posed amendments, several of which
are of a highly important character.
The election will afford the first
practical test of the initiative and
referendum in Arkansas, which
places responsibilities upon the vot-
ers heretofore delegated exclusively
to the legislature. Chief among
the measures to be submitted is the
act providing an almost new rev-
enue law for the state, cymmonly
known as the Turner-.IacobBon bill.
The ptoposed act providing for
state-wide prohibition prohibits toe
manufacture, sale or giving away
in the state of Arkansas alcohol, or
any spirituous, ardent, mat*, vinous
o^ fermented liquors, or anv com-
pound or preparation thereof < orn-
monly called tonic bitters or medi-
cinal liquors. The penalty fur the
first offense Is a fine of not less *hin
$50 nor more than $50(1 and for
the second or any subsequent of-
fense the fine is not less than
»100 nor more than $1000 and im-
prisonment in jail not less than
three months nor more than twelve
months. Each sale or gift shall be
constituted a separate offense.
The third of the proposed amend-
ments. nnd the one in which prob-
ably more interest Is being manifest-
ed than in any of the others, is that
providing for the recall. All state
and county officers, including the
judges, are affected by the proposed
amendment. The amendment, is
probablv the most drastic of its
kind that has been proposed in any
of the states and it Is the general be-
lief that It will be rejected as only
12 per rent of the voters Is neces-
sary to initiate the recall of any of-
ficial. -Another feature that la re-
garded as objectionable Is the pro-
vision for the election of the suc-
cessor of the official proposed for
recall at the same time the question
of his recall Is voted on, and the
barring of the official from being a
candidate.

LETTER FROM YOUNG MEN’S
BUSINESS ASSOCIATION.
&
Effort Jinking to Get Better Ac-
quainted and to Better Assist
One Another.
The following letter is being sent
out by Secretary L. IM. Ward of the
Sherman Young Men s Business As-
sociation:
Sherman, Texas. Sept. 6, 1912.
To the Farmers Adjacent to Sher-
man:
Chicago, 111., Sept. 6.—Chicago
and all the Middle West are still
baking under terrific heat, while
frosts are reported from Idaho,
Nevada and Utah and a cold wave
envelopes all of Alberta. The tem-
perature soared at 94 In Chicago, 4
degrees hotter than Cincinnati and
only 4 degrees colder than New Or-
leans.
Cable dispatches last night from
Rio Janeiro announce that the, tem-
perature is lower than ever before
recorded at this time. Throughout
the Sao Paulo districts It Is below
The farmer who drives six miles'freezing, a condition never exper-
to Sherman with a load of grain isjienced heretofore. It Is said the
READ THIS
as much a citizen of Sherman sb is
the man who walks three blocks
■from his residence to his place of
business, and the Interests of the
one are so closely Identified with
the Interests of the other that they
cannot be separated. Especially
will this be true when the good
roads iow In the course of con-
struction are completed.
The farmer, Is Sherman s most
vital asset because ours Is distinc-
tively an agricultural section and
the Young Men’s Business associa-
tion Is desirous of knowing how
best it can contribute to the Inter-
ests of the farmer.
For some time we have been en-
gaged in an effort to establish a
demonstration farm near the city un-
der Iho direction of a competent ag-
riculturist for the purpose of de-
termining how best to accomplish
the most effective resultR along all
lines of crop development, and we
are now glad to be able to an-
nounce that such a farm will be
established just as soon as a suit-
able piece of ground can be secur-
ed. By this means we shall seek
to give the farmers of this section
practical demonstrations of the best,
way to solve every problem which
they encounter.
in this same connection we have
a plan on foot for the establish-
ment of a soil analysts bureau in
Sherman. If the plan is carried
out it will make it possible for the
farmers to determine, at a nominal
cost, the exact nature of their soil,
the kind of fertilizer to.use and
the class of crops best suited to
their land. We would like to
know whether you would be inter-
ested in having Buch a bureau put
Into operation. Kindly give us
your opinion regarding the matter.
Whenever you have any especial-
ly fine grain, fruit, stock or other
farm products we would bp glad to
have you bring them to our office
and If their size or quality Is such
as to justify having a picture made
we will be glad to have such prod-
ucts photographed without any cost
to you and these pictures will be
reproduced In some of the' leading
farm journals.
We have several farm journals on
file at our office which are at your
disposal at all times and we would
he glad for you to make your
headquarters with us when you are
in the city. We want to become
better acquainted with you In or-
der that we may bp in better posi-
tion to aid you in solving your
problems. Do you need cotton
pickers? Possibly we can help
you to secure them. Do you want
to know where you can market
your crops to the best advantage?
Possibly we can give you just the
Information you need.
It Is our desire to rearh you at
frequent Intervals with a letter on
Rome timely topic. Do you de-
sire that we should communicate
with you in this way?
Kindly let us hear from you re-
garding these matters in the near
future.
Yours very truly,
THE YOUNG MEN’S BUSINESS
ASSOCIATION.

.‘40 Xeni's of Solitary Confinement.
Rensselaer. N. V.. Sept. 6.—Rev.
John F. Glavin of St. John's church,
this city, anu who is 'also principal
of St. John's Academy, says that, in
his opinion much of the wandering
from me straight nnd narrow path
on the purt of boys and girls is
due to dress. H« lias undertaken
to cure many of the evils arising
from immodest and extreme dress-
ing and commencing Monday next
girl pupils?,.will wear a simple uni-
form. Every girl will thus enter
the aeademy on an equal footing.
The uniform will be a simple sailor
blouse and a long simple skirt of
navy blue serge
“There are two distinctions for
the Introduction of this uniformity
in dress.’’ said Rev. Mr. .Glavin. "It
will first do away with the prevail-
ing Immodesty in the manner of
clothes and secondly, it will make
it a great deal easier for families
who can’t afford so expensive
clothes for their daughters as their
next" door neighbors.” The high
school girls will woar red braids and
the grades black.
