"Capitol and Labor" is the subject of Raymond Robins'
great address to men at the University Chapel at 7 tonight

It is a 'Just Wright'

We have just received a shipment of "Just Wright"
Shoes from the factory. Shoes that were made to fill our
order. Not a pair has been carred in stock on the fac-
tory floors.
Take a look at our west window. Our showing em-
braces some nifty styles. We are carrying a larger as-
sortment of different widths in lasts than ever before. Our
experience in the past seven years prompts us to say to
you if you have never worn this shoe, that you will make
no mistake by trying it. In fact the "Just Wright" line
offers more real value for the money than any shae on the
market. Remember this: We are selling the line one dol-
lar on the pair less than the larger towns and cities of
the state.

the University, writes the Tjpnscnpt the p jblic to the art exhibition at the
We lieep Only The Best
University. Before the Christmas
holidays the University had on exhi-j
bition a collection of paintings by fa-i
mous American artists valued at^
$5^UuO. To this exhibition nu admis-l
sion was charged. The public being
invited to visit an art gallery not
usually to be found outside the great
cities of the east.
Again the University has an exhibi-
tion of paintings, this time .the work
of the urtisis of the State of Oklaho-
ma, who have sen work here in com-
petition for gold, silver and bronze
medals. When one first enters the ex-
hibition room he is delightfully sur-j
prised to find such fine work done
within the borders of the state. Here'
are landscapes in profusion, portraits,'
figure and still life, marine, pictures
of sunrises, moonlights—an endless
variety of subjects all well done.
Miss Henrietta Clopath, of Tulsa,!
Okla., carries away highest honors, a
gold medal, for hei- wonderful tonal;
picture, "Boats at Sunset." As an1
expression of the true understanding
of landscape art, this picture undoubt-|
edly deserves the place the jury of
awards have given it. Miss Clopath
also exhibits a finely felt and render-
ed interior, and a study of a head.
Prof. P. Gimeno's two large land-
scapes deserves unstinted praise. The
quiet autumn, or snows of Oklahoma
winter especially appeals to him. and

to impress upon the people of Nor-
man in every way it can, the splendid
opportunity they will have next Mon-
day night, Jan. 17th, at the Franing
opera house to hear one of the Na-
tion's noted men, Dr. Edward Breck,
on a most vital and important and
timely subject—"Our Navy and What
it Means." President Brooks gives his
personal guarantee that Mr. Breck's
lecture will be thoroughly "worth
while." Admission is free, (furnish-
ed by the University) and he should
be given, as he undoubtedly will, an
overflowing house.
The following gives an idea of what
a noted gentleman Mr. Breck is, and
how well qualified he is to talk on
this most important question:
Edward Breck. M. A. Ph. D., the
subject of whose lfecture is "Our Navy
and What it Means," comes of the old-
est Colonial stock and of a naval fam-
ily, his father having died for his
country in the civil war as Lieutenant-
Com. in the U. S. Navy. Educated at
Oberlin, Amherst, Cambridge in Eng-
lang, Munich and Leipsic, the last
named university conferring upon him
the degree of Doctor of Philsophy in
1887, he has lived much of his life
abroad as student, journalist, author
and editor. His published writings
cover an astonishing amount of
ground, from Anglo-Saxon literature
through German poetry to big game
