THE GrtQOMS RETURN
O. D. Groom and wife have re-
turned from a business trip to
Pittsburg, Pa., and a pleasure §P
trip to other eastern points. •
While gone they visited Wash- IS
ington, Mt. Vernon, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York and
came home via Niagara Falls.
They were in Washington
when the President read his
famous war message to Congress
and state that there is much pat-
riotic excitement throughout the
East. Pittsburg is the greatest
manufacturing town in the world
and a visit there impresses one
with the vast preparations now
being made for war in the manu-
facture of munitions.
They were glad to get home
and report that after all Oklaho-
ma looks better than any place
visited.
Mr. Groom made a very inter-
esting talk to the school children
Wednesday afternoon about the
sights he saw while on this trip.

The lecture on "Oklahoma Pro-
ducts" in the School Auditorium
last Frii'ay ni ,lit by the Rev. Dr.
Brill of Stroud was sure a treat.
The first* part of the evening's
entertainment consisted of music
of various kinds including band,
orchestra, piano, trombone and
vocal.
Claude Adams, with a few well
chosen word . introduced the
speaker. Dr. Brill gave our
people si in such a pleas-
ing manner that it was interest-
sure t!i... vho heard him were

To the Citizens of Davenport and Vicinity:—
\oui country and mine lias been called into war with foreign nations because of
luthless assassination of Americans. It behooves every loyal American to resent this,
and stand behind President Wilson with our lives and our fortunes.
I believe there should be a patriotic demonstration in this vicinity, and I request
that every home and every business house display our national colors—Our Flag—the
red, white and blue. Let your flags stay on display until the war is over and we are
again at peace.
We owe this to our country, our town and ourselves as American citizens, and
it will be a fitting tribute to the great cause we are about to defend on foreign soils
and I hope to see Davenport decorated from one end to the other. It will also be ap-
piopiiaie f >i all vehicles to carry small flags, or large. This is the time to show our
colors.

The local contest held in the
Auditorium Tuesday night of this

those who came received a most
pleasant evening's entertainment.
The three contestants for the
reading were Misses Willa Har-
vey, Vida Richie and Laura Rob-
erson. Their readings were all
good and well given. The judges
were Misses Edna Inman and
Grace Givens, Mrs. C. H. Hesser
and Mr. W. A. Chastain. The
decision rendered gave Miss
Harvey first place and the right
to represent our school at the
County Contest.
Miss Lucille Irvin being the
only one in our school trying for
the oration no local oratorical
contest was held. She will rep-
resent our school in County Ori-
torical Contest.

There is not a single case on the record yet where a consoli-
school after being tried, was ever abandoned for the single
school.
More than one-third of the rural schools are too small to be
effluent. Yet rural schools cost more per capita than town schools.
Suppose a man is satisfied with the single neighborhood
school; ought he to force it on his neighbor who wishes better ad-
vantage for his children?
In the consolidated district petty neighborhood jealousies and
enmities have far less influence and effect; they are lost in the larg-
er numbers.

In former days mature men and women could be secured to
