8:30 (Thursday, May 19, 1916) at the
home of Mrs. Revard on West Gray
street, after a week's illness with
peritonitis. The young man contract-
ed the disease (blood poisoning) while
playing base ball a week or so ago,
getting a slight puncture on one of his
toes. The infection ran up his leg and
into his groin, permeating his whole
system. Every effort was made to
save him, but all was of no avail. His
body will be taken today to his home
at Marlow, Okla., for burial.
Archie has been connected with the
Sooner confectionery for some time,
and was a bright and clever boy,
working his way through the Univer-
sity. Universal regret is expressed
over his untimely demise. Owing to
his death, the baseball games with
Stillwater have been called off for the
present.
MISS KATE BARBOUR
Speaking of Cleveland county's
capable county superintendent of
public schools, Miss Kate Barbour, the
Oklahoma Journal of Education, rec-
ognized as the exponent of educational
matters in Oklahoma and absolutely
non-partisan and unprejudiced, says:
"Miss Kate Barbour has announced
that she will be a candidate for a
third term as county superintendent
of Cleveland county. Miss Barbour is
one of the leading lady county super
intendents of the state, and has made
an enviable record at Norman. She
is a graduate of the State University,
and before being elected county su-
perintendent of Cleveland county
was for a number of years a teacher
in the Norman and El Reno schools.

City Starving America
America pities the Belgians who starve through lack of food,
yet, three-fourths of America starves through use of wrong
foods. Decayed teeth, callagra, catarrh, consumption, loss of
memory, local congestions, underweight are a few symptoms of
starvation. Starvation can only be cured by loods suited to
