Washington( April 9.—Claim to
14,000.000 acres of land In Texas
tnd Oklahoma, Including the cities
t.f Tulsa and Oklahoma City and
practically the entire Unrkburnett oil
field was filed in the Supreme court
today in behalf of the Cherokeo In-
dian nation, supported by a govern-
ment patent issued by President Van
Buren and certified as authentic by
the interior department.
The claim was in the form of a pe-
tition for permission to intervene in
the Red river oil land case, an orig-
inal suit between Texas and Oklaho-
ma, Involving jurisdiction over the
valuable oil fields situated along the
common boundary.
The motion was filed by John M
Taylor, a grand nephew of General
Zachary Taylor, an attorney for the
Cherokee nation.
He said the patent was discovered
Incidentally among the papers of a
deceased chief of the tribe.
Bearing the date of December 81,
1838, the patent gave to the Cherokee
nation "forever" ft tract about 500
Miles in length through the Panhandle
fection, comprising in nil 14,374,135.14
acres. Only the possibility that the
itatute of limitations will nullify the
ilaiin prevents the Cherokee nation
,'rom having a "water tight case,"
counsel said.

Co-Operative Idea
for Store Here Is
Proving Popular
We feel proud to announce a mem-
bership of over three hundred share-
holders to date, which means a co-
operative buying and trading among
ourselves, taking home with us the
profits that we are now paying for
groceries and food products. It is
not what the working men and wom-
en make that counts. It Is what they
.save. A dollar well spent and value
received Is of as much importance to
us, if not more so, than the dollars
made. Therefore, we nro justified in
co-operating in order that our dollars
will buy more. The day of co-opera-
lion is at hand. This movement is
the most popular movement in the
country today. Properly handled and
managed, a co-operative store means
a big success and profits for Its mem-
bers. *
All arrangements have been made
for the big opening of the store early
next month In the ground floor of the
Masonic building. Shareholders pay-
no profit. We invite your co-opera-
tton and affiliation with the fastest
growing store in central Texas.
The Temple Co-Operative Supply
Co., will be a local store, owned and
controlled by local people, and is not
connected in any way with co-opera-
tive stores throughout Texas. O.
Richards, known to most Temple peo-
ple, will be manager, and the stock-
holders are residents of Templo.
Thanking you for yrfUr favors and
heartv approval, we are,
TEMPLE CO-OPERATIVE SUPPLY
COMPANY.
