CONDITIONS IN DAIRIES INSPECTED State Officer Finds tbat Some Milk Factories Fail to Comply with Law; Serves Notice for " Prompt Clean-Up H. A. iMorey, deputy dairy inspector, connected with the state board of ag riculture, with headquarters at Okla homa City, was in Chickasha yester day and acting in conjunction with Dr. V. E. Emanuel, county health officer, made a thorough Inspection of the dai ries from which the city draws its milk supply. Those dairies, totalling seven in number, are known as Larsen's, Bak er's Bruton's, Slaughter's, Rock Island, Wythe's. The total number of cows in all dairies was 148. The inspection disclosed the fact that while some of the dairies, were la first class condition in every par ticular, others were in only fair con dition, while still others were In abso lutely unsanitary condition. The law requiring the tubercular test for dairy cows, it was found, bad been complied with by a part ot the dairy owners, while 'others had neg lected to conform with its require ments. All dairy owners whose premised were found In any but the best sani tary conditio were notified to clean up and otherwise comply with the law regulating their business, or go out of business forthwith. One dairy, Dr. Emanuel and Mr. Morey state, was found to be in such a condition that it may be said to be absolutely unsafe, a, menace to the health of the community at larger es pecially to the health of children. "There is no means that may be so sure of conveying diseases to the hu man family as those found in unclean milk," said Dr. Emanuel. "Microbes and germs of all diseases, especially typhoid germs, find a great breeding ground In unclean milk. The infant who Is nourished from cow's milk is especially susceptible to diseases and the germ which is h-ed, fostered and scattered in the milk of an unclean and filthy dairy, is constantly lying in wait for the opportunity of finding an abiding place In the system of the innocent infant." There are heavy penalties to the keeping of dairies in unsanitary con dition. This law applies to the man ner in which milk cans : and other equipment of the dairy are kept, to tho matter of the tubercular test and to the manner in which the cattle may be housed and the milking done and the milk cared for after drawn from tho cow. Those dairies which have fallen info evil ways in the matter of allowing filth to take the place of cleanliness and sanitation, will have to come across lit the matter ot clearing up or go out of business. One dairy, Dr. Emanuel states, has received its sec ond notice and this, the doctor avers, will be the last notice served.". LYNCHING PROBABLE WHEN NEGRO IS CAUGHT. By Vnited Press. Houston, Sept 22.

The judges in making the awards stated they had close work in render ing their decision, as all work was so meritorious it was most difficult to draw the line of demarcation between the "good, better, best" The exhibits placed toy the city schoolB reflect the greatest credit up on both pupil and teacher. Nothing could better illustrate the careful, the painstaking and the systematic man ner in which the grade teachers, the high school teachers haval worked in hearty according and conjunction with Prof. W, F. Ramey, superintendent of city schools. From the work exhibited by pupils of the high school and ot thd higher grades, on down to the handiwork of the little tots in the Ipwer grades, the same evidences of careful and well thought training is in! evidence. The careful adherence to detail which may be found in toe work of the more ad vanced pupils, especially the maps of Oklahoma and of the United States, when placed side by side with the more or less eccentric work of the lit tle fellows whose minds are Just be ginning to bud, all to go show that the little fellows are today receiving the same careful initiatory training which thp high school pupils of the PARADE The Trades and Flower Parade was postponed till 4 o'clock tomorrow af ternoon.

While the banker and the merchant and the farmer and tho etockman will continue to show the best fruits at their toils and endeav ors, the schools of Chickasha togeth er with those of all sections of the county will also continue to show the results of the care and hard work of j Supt. Ramey and his able corps of as sistants. Notwithstanding the efforts put forth by the officers of the fair asso ciation and by the county superintend ent in an effort to have a good exhibit from the rural schools, only three re sponded to the call. There schools, Freeman No. 44; Waldron, 9; Pleasant View, 17, were ou hand with most credible ehowinhs and deserve great praice, the teaeu- rs, tne patrons or tue scnoois ana the pupils, for the manner in which they showed to the world, that they were on the map of Oklahoma. Free Hand drawings and other class room work were in evidence, while several assortments of seeds, arranged in ranged in attractive groups upon card board and properly classified, attested to the fact that the rural youths were familiar with the products of their native soil. Supt. Shepard of the county schools feels that the schools of a number of the smaller towns in the county cov ered themselves with honor In the matter of educational exhibits which they had on the grounds he feels that the rural schools should have taken Con tin nd o Paite Tro t INDICTED FOR BOAT DISASTER Six Steamship Company Officials and Two Federal Inspectors Held Responsible by U.
