Food Pledge
The Loyalty Food Pledge campaign
starts in real earnest today. Mr.
Graham will start his workers among
the student body and faculty men. In
spite of the stormy day Monday, a
good start was made yesterday. We
find in the other towns all ministers
are taking a great part and preached
fine sermons on Sunday and also rec-
ognized thc press plea for a day of
prayer for the success of the Ameri-
can armies. We are just a little dissap-
pointed at the attitude the ministers
of Norman took toward the two great
subjects that were to have been pre-
sented from all pulpits. In spite of
the busy times in the cotton fields in
the country, we feel that with the help
of the county superinteiffiants and
teachers the -"impai^n will be a suc-
cess in the ecuntry as well as the
town.

There «re vi.ion.—now .nd then—in bu.i-
nest and industry.
The Maxwell motor car is a wonderful
vision that has been made real.
The fixed purpose ot the Maxwell builder,
was in the beginning, and is now, to produce a
ca, which would be, in the highest sense, effi_
durable, economical, comfortable and
jdard in equipment.
Many years experience in production on a
vast scale has taught the Maxwell manufac-
turers two things.
One is that .uch a car a. they have alway.
made their aim—a car in which efficiency,
durability, economy, comfort, beauty and stand-
ard equipment are all present—cannot be bu.lt
for less than $745 with materials at their
present prices.
The other lesson i. that, for more than
$745, they could not give you anything more
than the Maxwell now has—except greater ,ue
or luxuries, pure and sin)fdc*
In other words they are convinced—*r.d
they have convinced us—that they have found
the great MIDDLE LINF. where you get dollar
for dollar in ABSOLUTE VALUE.
