Western Oklahoma Orphanage

According to the Publication, The Oklahoman, Dated Feb 17, 1929, Page 69, with headlines reading: "An Orphans Chance in Oklahoma," I found this paragraph where it talked about the orphanage at Helena, Alfalfa County, Oklahoma:

"At Helena, Alfalfa county, northwestern part of Oklahoma, the state maintains what is known as the West Oklahoma State Home. Its capacity is about 200, and the shifting of children enables the institution to handle about 125 more, each year, than the institution's capacity. The waiting list averages about 50 children seeking admittance."
