PAv Tiid to Kansas
(A composition by Lotie Kosten-
bader a student in the Lexington
High School.)
i It was the week before Christinas ,
land we decided to spend ourChrist-
I mas vacation in Lawrence. Kansas
as we had not been there for sever-
{al years.
| About two weeks was spent in
i preparing for the journey. But at
| last all was ready and we started;
'All Are Pleased and Inspired on Friday morning on the six
By His Discussion-Of io'clock train. We traveled all that
the Work j day until 9:15 o'clock that night
I before we reached our destination.
The County Convention of the The scenery was beautiful from
interdenominational Sunday School we started until latf thai
workers met at the M. E. Church evening when night over took us.

March 1st,. A very interesting pro- the «« ery tu,t tll(' remainder of
gram was well carrried out, the i ^le eveI1'ng was spent in reading
onducted by jant' sleeping.
Some of our relatives were there-
to meet us. So we boarded a car
and accompanied tlieni home. Af-
praise service was
Rev. 11. H. Everett and the music
by the choir composed of the sing-
ers from the different churches, the
address of welcome was by the Rev.
Davis, pastor of the Baptist church.
The first session was conducted by
Rev. Moore of Sulphur and his sub-
ject "What Sunday School means.''
was one long to be remembered by
those present, and his theme
' it is a sin for a Sunday School
not to be as large as it can be."
The next .session we had C. 11.
Nichols, general secretary, on the
subject of Sunday School. It was
indeed an interesting session. The
evening session was also conducted
by C. H. Nichols and this time his,
"Men and the Bible School" was
the best I have heard on the sub-
ject, and showed well the duty of
the men, to the coming men of to-
morrow by example as well as pre-
cept.
The last session was conducted
by the state president of the ele-
mentary department, Mrs. C. H.
Nichols and I am sorry she could
not have been heard by all Sunday
School workers especially the teach-
ers. It was indeed a most
instructive sessions. After the
report oi the nominating commit-
tee composed of II. 11. Everett,
Mrs. Marcum, Mrs. Brownell, Mrs.
Arthur Sherman, the following
county officers were elected, Roy
Smith of Norman, president, Mrs
ter meeting the remainder of our
relatives and eating supper we sat
around the fire as it was vry cold
and talked until about midnight
when we retired.
The first day or.two was spent in
was, I preparing for Christmas including
our Christmas shopping as the
stores contained such goods as are
always on display for Christmas.
At last the day of merry-making ar-
rived and a delicious dinner was
prepared by my aunt arid cousins.
1 expected large snows while there
but it snowed very little, but it was
very cold. It would rain and then
freeze and the ground was covered
with ice about one inch thick. We
visited the State University and
Haskell Institute which is an In-
dian school and a great manv other
interesting places also. One after-
noon we went to the country to vis-
t the old home of my grandfather
and where my father had lived dur-
ing the war and I was told of a
great many interesting events.
When we had visited three weeks
we decided it was time to return
home although we did not like that
idea.
On Friday night we started honle
on the 11 o'clock train and arrived
in Purcell at 1:45 o'clock p. m.
Saturday and we had had an en-

W. K. Breeding has taken the
progressive step this spring of mak-
ing thinks look very attractive and
the business section of Lexington
appear more prosperous. His buil-
ding is being treated to a beautiful
coat of paint fronS top to .bottom
and from side to side. The build-
ing certainly tint - look lflO per
cent better. Mr. Breeding has
started the movement for a better
looking business section and others
will no doubt follow his progressive
ideas. There are numerous busi-
ness houses in Lexington that need
just such a repair as Mr. Breeding
is giving his building. He says he
figures paint the best investment in
(lie world and for looks we know as
you all do that a freshly painted
building (if colors are rightly selec-
ted) is a thing of beauty ami (from
an investment standpoint) is a joy
lou ver. Lets make Lexington a
better looking town with the expen-
diture of only a few dollars. We
look to see many of our business
men improving their buildings this
spring. Progressive ideas under
our new administration will come
into their own, right here in our
town of Lexington.
