| Mrs. Holmes and mother ami
| daughter. Kuth. were shopping in Ok-
j lahoma City Wednesday.
Nora Boston and Mrs. McCartney
went to Guthrie Wednesday to attend
the comm. neement exercises of the
St. Joseph's Aeademy, where Mabel
Eofton is attending school.
Miss Kuth Chism gave her recital
Tuesday night to a well tilled house.
The program was splendid and every-
body present had a most enjoyable
time. She gave by far the best pub- j
lie recital that has ever been given j
in Moore, and would receive a most j
hearty welcome should she wish to
make another engagement here.
DON'T BE A KNOCKER.
Any person who is not enough In-
terested in his home town to boost in-
stead of knoeking, is not a desirable
citizen. If a new enterprise is talked
of for the town, why not boost in-

asks jou how the cheese factory or
the new bunk building is progressing,
instead of pouring cold water, why 1101
tell the truth and help your town ft
little and tell them that everything
is getting along nicely and that we
have a brigh' prospect before us,
which we have. If the band marches
up the street in front of your place
of business, if you don't like the mu-
sic and don't appreciate the fact that
your town can afford a band, please
be silent and don't knock and make
fun for the band boys are not going
to pass around the hat nor ask for a
donation because they aiv capabl ■ of
paying their own way and ask no odds
of any of the knockers in town.
Moore is all right. It has good
schools, good churches, is close to
the metropolis, Is surrounded by a."
good a country as the sun ever shone
on, and has some of the most enter-
prising business men that could be
found anywhere, and is bound to come
to the front in spite of the little
clique of knockers, that have squatted
here. So let every one put a shoul-
der to the wheel and shout "For-
ward1" And the knockers will even-
tually knock themselves to death.

time to transplant white pines and
