The Extravagance of
Cheap Coal Proven
by Ashes and Smoke
Every pound of ashes and
smoke your fire gives off is dead
waste. Cheap coal, full of slate,
slack and dust, gives only a
small per cent, of heat per ton.
Pay a little more and get twice
as much.
Canon City Lump
THAT GOOD COAL
Is All Heat
Clean, bright, solid; direct from
the best shaft in the Canon Qity
mines. Every ton we deliver is
forked-lump. It burns evenly to
a fine ash; no clinkers; no ex-
cessive smoke; non-smut. Or-
der some "Canon City" today;
$8.50 per ton.

JACK LEWIS BOUND OVER
PHONE 33
HASKELL TO HOT SPRINGS
Oilton, Okla., Feb. 4.—A general
nervous breakdown is sending former
Governor C. N. Haskell to Hot
Springs, Ark., for a several weeks'
stay, according to information just
received here by Joseph W. Hall, his
son-in-law. Haskell organized and
built the Oil Belt Terminal railroad
of which Hall was president and
which was sold recently to Frank
Brown of Independence, Kans., and
R. D. Long of Muskogee. The form-
er governor's son, Joe Haskell, will
accompany him to the springs.
—Married: The Transcript learns
thr.t Miss Elmina 1'exander, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Alexander, was
married at Chickasha-in January to
Mr. L. N. Tarpley, and they expect to
make their home in California. Mr.
' rpley is a prominent business man
of Chickasha, and highly spoken of by
those who know him. Miss Alexander
was teaching at Apache, Okla., but
has given up her school. Her many
warm friends in Norman will wish her
every happiness, and sincerely con-
gratulate Mr. Tarpley.
Jack Lewis, an agent for Sudan
grass seed, was bound over in Judge
Linton's court this morning in the
sum of $500 to appear at district court
to answer a charge of securing money
by false pretenses. In January, he
sold U. S. Tubbs, the grocer, 200
pounds of Sudan gross seed for $80,
getting him to buy on representations
that certain farmers in and around
Norman had made contracts to pur-
chase and turning the contracts over
to Mr. Tubbs. But when Mr. Tubbs
notified the farmers their seed was
here, a number of them declared they
had made no contract with Lewis. Mr.
Tubbs took the matter up with Lewis,
and getting no satisfaction, finally
swore out a warrant for his arrest.
I.ewis then paid $22.50 to Mr. Tubbs
on the contracts parties had repudi-
ated, but the warrant had been issued
and served, and the payment by
Lewi9 did not stop prosecution.
The worst feature about it fo
Lewis is that a number of the rep>
diated orders had the name of the
farmer or citizen signed to them.
Lewis acknowledged signing their
names, which would seem to consti-
tute a case of real forgery.
Numerous cases of this kind have
occured in and around Norman in re-
cent months, the perpetrator invari-
ably "gettine by" because the amounts
were small, and the victim would
rather bear the loss than bother about
it. Mr. Tubbs is entitled to credit for
his endeavor to break the system up.
Guilty or innocent, it will be some
time before Lewis or any other
"a cent" undertakes a similar scheme
in Norman.
Feast of Good "Eats" and a Rattling
Good Time Assured at Busi-
ness Men's Get-To-
gether Banquet.
The "Get-Together" banquet of the
Chamber of Commerce to be held on
Wednesday night in the banquet room
of the First Christian church prom-
ises to be well attended, and an enjoy-
able occasion. The "eats" will be such
as will appeal to the inner man, and
the program of toasts and talks will
appeal to, the business men and those
interested in the growth, upbuilding
and beautification of our city. Every
business man of the city should be
present, as well as every man who
has the good of Norman at heart.
Talks will be made on what the
Chamber of Commerce proposes to do
during the coming year; its campaign
for the betterment and improvement
of Norman in a material sense, as well
as from a civic improvement stand-
point.
The tickets have been placed at a
nominal sum, just enough to cover
cost of preparing the bapquet, viz:
75 cents the ticket. They can be se-
cured from the Secretary, Mr. John
Luttrell, or from any of the directors.
Eight o'clock Wednesday night is the
time, and the banquet "room of the
First Christian church the place.
Be sure and be there.
