Hollywood
Christian Aid
The Daily Oklahoman sent Edith
Johnson to Hollywood to learn the
true condition of affairs there. It
seems from her report that the place
has been more sinned against than
sinful.
In the Spotlight
The ladies of the Christian Aid met
Thursday afternoon with Mrs. John
T. Kemp. Business and social matters
were taken up before the society. De-
licious refreshments were served. The
society adjourned to meet next Thurs-
day with Mrs. A. C. Prxitt.
One thing is true of Oklahoma,'
and that is, you can count on her be-!
ing always in the lime light. When!
politicians forget polities, and fill
their respective offices according to
their pledges then indeed will we
have an administration worthy of the
people would vote for the man, and
be Sure the man could fill a man's
size place, regardless of temptations
then and then only will we have a
clean and effective administration.
Attention, Mr. Farmer!
I offer good, sound, pure planting
seed, in the two best main crop va-
rieties—Acala and Mebane Cotton..
I sell only the seed I have grown and
tested. Do not be fooled into buying
cheap, carelessly handled cotton seed
This is sound advice. I have now
for sale:
Acala Cotton seed at $2.00 per bu-
shel.
Mebane Cotton seed (1920 seed) at
$1.50 per bushel.
