"Advertise the university" was the i
theme of the mass meeting In as-
sembly hall this morning at 11:1.").
President Stratton I). Brooks spoke on
his this line and laid particular stress on
the one idea of boosting and boost-
ing hard, not only for today, but for
all time, and especially during the
holidays.
An organization was formed from
all of the county clubs under the
name of the "County Union," with
W. L. Eagleton, Jr., as president and
Otto A. Brewer as secretary-treasurer.
The purpose of this organization is
to advertise the university, paying
Ard- i special attention to the high school
Sulphur.' students, and also to inform the mem-
bers of the legislature that the
school needs more buildings and needs
them badly.
Upon the return from the vacation
the woi': is to be continued and each
individual county club is to be re-
organized and new officers to be
elected in order that they may co-
i operate with the County Union.

Norman Lodge. W. O. \V.. held a
most interesting meeting last night,
which was largely attended by Wood-
men anil their families. Judge J. W.
Majisell, state manager, was the
principal speaker of the occasion,
and his address was both interesting
ind entertaining.
Interesting talk- were also made
hv members of the local order.
Mr. Frank Jackson, born Sept. 6,
1863, in Illinois, died at his home
east of Lexington, Wednesday even-
ing, Nov. 22. 1W1H.
Mr. Jackson was married to Miss
Lulu Bateman, May IK. 1892. in Kan-
sas, and to this union were born
four children, three boys and one
girl, the youngest son having died
in Lexington in 1906.
Mr. Jackson had been a resident
of Cleveland county for It years,
and was a highly respected citizen,
a loving husband and kind and de-
voted father. He united with the
! Itii|flist church in the summer of
19116; he was also a Mason. He had
I been in ill health for the past eleven
years.
| The funeral services were con-
ducted by Rev. Lee L. Reeves, pastor
of the Lexington Baptist church, at
the residence, Friday morning at 10
o'clock. Burial in the Lexington
cemetery.
The deceased is survived by a
wife, two sons, one daughter, three
brothers, two sisters and other re-
latives.
The Enterprise joins many friends
in extending sympathy to the be-
reaved ones.

conclusion that Mr. and Mrs. Woods

were among the most pleasant people
in that town. Their office is well
equipped for a shop of that si/.e, hav-

ISINi; TWO STYI.IS OF PI. A V
Tlie team has at last earned a
comeback. No longer will Sooner
fans look anxiously to the next game
for proof that Bennie Owen can as-
semble a machine that can score a
victory. But fans are loking to the
next game. They are looking for
proof that Bennie* can construct a
machine that is able to outflank the
husky Aggie squad.
To anyone who didn't know real
conditions the tracks that this ma-
chine have made in the sand this
season might look discouraging but
to the Sooner who has seen every I
game and rubbed elbows with the
gridiron heroes, prospects never
were brighter fo a siu'cessful wind-
up of the season.
Although the game was won last
Saturday, one most striking feature of
it was that the Bennieties completely
departed from the far-famed Owen
style of play and resorted to the old
methods of the dark ages of football.
This feature is the cause of all the
glee in the camp of the Oklahoma
Aggies at Stillwater. Since the ear-
liest history of football, they have
been trampled under foot by the fleet
Sooner braves. Ever since Bennie
has made this his home, his tactics
have been too much for Farmers who
have always been about a decade be-
hind.
Wilmoth didn't appear on the field
yesterday afternoon, and it is doubt-
ful whether or not he will be able
to get in the Turkey day game. In
signal practice Big Willis Hott and
Von Tungeln filled this place while
McDermott was put through a punt-
ing exercise.
There are few who doubt that the
| Sooners have entirely left their old
| time game of forward passing, and
there are many who feel better since
they know that the team can play
both kinds of football successfully.

READJUSTMENT OF POSTAL
NEXT SESSION OF CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 . The
ja. | ways arc now heing greased for tlu
launching of the movement for tin
readjustment of postal rates in the!
next session of Congress. This prob-
lem was to have been taken up in i
the last session but 1iad to be de-
ferred on account of the considern- j
tion required by railway mail pay. |
Since this has been disposed of the
committees are prepared to take up
the matter of placing the various
postal rates on a more equitable
basis.
A zone of rates for second elass
matter is being prominently urged to
take the place of the present flat
rate which was adopted nearly forty
years ago. The present rate has for
some time been regarded as a dis-l',e^<M
crimination against the newspapers >ears
in favor of the great national maga-1 ('mN • 1
zincs. Like the parcel post the pro
posed zone rates would be bat
the length of the haul.
The postal committees hav<
beseiged by petitions bearing
the first time since I have been con-
nected with the legislative branch of
the Government the patrons of the
postal service, and apparently a
majority of the members of the two
Houses of Congress, have reached a
realization of the true situation and
are about prepared to take some de-
finite net ion on the matter.'

COTTON \NI> LIVIN(« COST.
Cotton! When cotton was 7 cent
| a pound and the cotton growers wer
j impoverished, they cried to the gov-
I eminent fbr help to put the price to
' a reasonable figure, but when cotton
i goes to 20 cents a pound, we hear no
outcry from the housewives against
the increased cost of cotton goods.
The cotton grower is entitled to
fair return for his labor. We rejoice
when he gets not only a fair return
but a generous income, but let him
withdraw from those who listen to
the demagogues that seek public
office '.n the claim that they can de-
crease the cost of living. When cot-
ton rises to 20 cents, the price of
cotton fabrics must rise. They go up
together. High prices mean high
wages, good living and m'ore comfort
and satisfaction than are found In a

but I am sure the Committee will
give it the best possible shape in the
public interest."
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, said:
"When fixing rates of postage more
consideration should be given what
it actually costs the Government to
handle the various classes of mail.
Take for instance the point at issue,
why should the patrons of the pos-
tal service be forced to pay 2 cents
to mail a letter which is to be de-
livered in the same city or town in
which it is mailed when it costs
much less than 1 cent to handle. In
fact, postal experts say that such let-
ters are handled by the Government
at a profit of several hundred per-
nt. According fo official reports
of the Department the profits derive!
from all first elass matter exceed:
$80,000,000 annually. In view of these
startling facts, it is my opinion, that
patrons of the postal service have
not been accorded fair treatment in
the provision of postal facilities."
Commenting on pending legislation
Senator Curtis, of Kansas, said:

cheaper letter rate the general pub-
