This has been one' ol' the most
successful terms of school ill

Stories of Sunday's Storm
A genuine storm hit this sec-
tion of the country about fix o-
t clock Sunday evening. It was
accompanied by all the make-up
of a genuine storm; lightning,
wind and a heavy rain. It came
up so sudden and unexpectedly
that it caught scores of folks a-
way from home and cars were
stalled all along the roads. Con-
siderable damage was done, trees
being blown down, chimneys and
roofs blown otf houses and small
buildings upset. Over near
Guthrie big cottonwood trees
were uprooted so we are told.
But few houses in town are not
damaged in some manner. It
was the worst storm in years.
VV. L. Collett was trying to
put his mule team in Nick Rich-
ardson's barn Sunday evening
when the storm was raging. He
had just got one mule in and had
stepped inside himself when the
wind picked the barn up and
scattered it all over the landscape
Walt' says he went in the door
but came out over the corner of
the foundation. If you don't
believe it was a severe storm
ask him about it.
Joe Ryan, Fred Ramseir and
Frank Hoffman started to town
from Campbell Creek where they
had been fishing Sunday evening
and were caught in the storm a-
bout five and a half miles north-
west of town. Joe's Ford was
de-topped and he side-tracked
the car and the occupants all hid
behind a near-by bank.
"Bill" Ramseier left his con-
fectionery hurriedly Sunday ev-
ening and made a record run for
Joe Ryan's cement cave. Bill is
some foot racer.
Lee Gobble and family and
same friends occupied Lee's big
cement cave for several minutes
Sunday evening. Dr. Warrick
says Lee fell on his kness and
thanked the Lord for the cave
and wound up by saying, "Now
Lord give me the claws of a bad.
ger so that lean dig in." Lee
denies this, but said he shouted,
"Close that d . . . . door and do
it quick! ! !
Onlookeis.'.ay that Dr. Warrick
broke all foot race records when
he made the run for C. R. Kling-
m&v's cave, and then dived in,
Sunday evening about the time
the bigistorm made its debute in
Cashion.
Mr. and Mrs. Mel Carter and
children were enroute home from
Guthrie when they were caught
in the storm Sunday evening.
They stopped at a farm house
but found no one at home but a
savage dog. The dog was scared
about as bad as Mel was, and as
miserv likes company they made residence or there would likely

Most entertainments, hows,
ate., in Cashion at this season
of the year are usually advertis-
ed to start at 8 o'clock. More
often, however, they start al
nearer 9 o'clock than 8. Lots ol
folks would enjoy going to the
shows and entertainments if they
did not have to go and hold
Thursday night Was the eighth ''own a seat lor an hour or so
before the performance starts.
Then too. it is hard for folks
with children to attend the later
hour shows. It means that the
children are tired, sleepy and
worn out long before the play or
show begins.
Of course it is often said that
folks will not come in time to
start at 8 o'clock. The reason
for this is that they know the
show or entertainment will In
kept waiting until about nine o-
clock or later and they get in no
hurry.
Again, we have seen the house
filled almost to seating capacity,
ind then upon inquiry as to why
the show doesn't start, are told
that those giving the show are
not ready.
It would be good policy to folks
giving home talent shows and
other shows to start strictly on
the d"t at the hour advestised
and folks will soon learn the ad-
vertisement means just what il
says, anil w ill govern themselves
accordingly. We often hear folks
say, "1 would like to have seen
that show but if 1 have to hang
around until nine o'clock or after
I and not get home till nearly mid-
i night, I'll just let the show go.'
Fourth year work is demanded
by a large number of patrons and
it seems to be the desire of folks
to make this a real school, which
is the proper view to take.

loafers they shift to the other
side of the street in the after-
noon. The bull dog and the
rough neck cur pick a tight out
of some farm dog who has come
to town to see the sights. The
fight is accompanied by a lot of
barking, growling and howling,
and out of the shade and out of
the buildings rush a score or
more dogs of all breeds, from the
little pennydog to the large half-
hived Newfoundland.
There is the bird dog that
works less than thirty days per
year, the scrub cur, the bench
legged bull dog, the saucy spitz,
the short haired mongrel, the
wolf hound, the greyhound and |
the stag, the lunch hound (you|

and the slop hound.
The Cashion dog, while he is j

would think from his number he
is almost held sacred as tho he
were a Mohammedan dog. His

naps in the shady places thruout
the day; he howleth, barketh and
prowleth at night; he burglarizes

slop bucket on the back porch.
He is the town scavanger,
A good dog with a home when
he knows where his home is, is

friend and a helper and should
have the loyal protection of his

Mr. Dog must wear a collar, dress

Teach Them
In Childhood
One of the important thiugs iu the child's
early education is THRIFT. It is equally
important as the three "R's" and should not
be overlooked. The youngster should be
trained to save money. Teach them to bank
their money and in a few years thay will thank
you for puttiug them on the thrift road.
Start them with a dollar or live dollars or
more and watch with them how the interest
grows.
IT'S THE BE SI TRAINING.
