The Civic Committee of the Nor-
man Chamber of Commerce will have
a few canna bulbs to dispose of this
spring. Since they belong to the
city, they will be given away as long
as the surplus lasts. The first come,
the first served; not more than one
half-dozen bulbs will be given to any
one person.
Office seekers are getting as nu-
merous as flies around a molasses
barrel in August, and we are going to

selves to support the Civic Commit-

these men if they are in favor of mov-
ing the old fire house and making a

are not, then they are not progressive
enough to represent Norman in the
Council Chamber or Mayor's office.
Nothing but clean-up men will be
voted for by the clean-up citizens at
the coming election.

BOOTLEGGERS, WATCH OUT!
From Thursday's Weekly.
You bootleggers better watch out,
no matter in what part of the county
you may be operating. Sheriff Pick-
ard, County Judge Wolf and County
Attorney Grigsby are holding "courts
of inquiry" every week, getting infor-
mation about your activities, taking

There are a few people hanging

What.is the city marshal paid for?
What is the use of having a city mar-

ordinances without some one making
the complaint ?
In making this appeal the Civic
Committee is trying to get some pro-

Mr. and Mrs. Hall were dinner
guests at the Kappa Alpha Theta
House last night. Tonight they will
be the guests of the Betas at dinner.
The officers and directors of the 1
Chamber of Commerce feel that the
banquet given on Wednesday night j
was just what it had been planned j
for: "A real get-together" meeting of
rtien interested in our city. The
praises of all present and the number
of signed membership cards is the
best of evidence of the intention of all
to get in the "Band Wagon" and
boost for Norman. The manner in
which J. S. Buchanan- filled the va-
cancy on the program on a minute's
notice reminds us of the fact "that no
other town in the stete has such un-
limited material to call on to make
things of this kmd a success and
makes us feel that we are losing
ieh in not getting together oftener.
Let us strike a new stride and all
get in the "Band Wagon." What is
good for one is good for all. If it
helps your town it helps you. If you
feel you haven't the time for active
work become a member and show the
