Make Norman Hard to Forget
Sickness, sadness and sorrow calls
us away to the land beyond the
Mississippi, back to the blue grass and
clover fields of Indiana, where child-
hood days were spent.
While gone from home, we will
linger in our thoughts around Noi-
man, the fairest city of all.
Care for the parks and keep them
bright that they may by their silent
influence invite all travelers who go
away from Norman to return.
Mr. Tom Carey, at the mill, has full
supervision and will tenderly caic
for Norman's beauty spots until our
return, then we will nurse the babies
and give them Mellins' Food and watch
them grow.
If you want to know anything
about flowers and how to make
Petunias grow, ask Tom Carey at the
mill.
Lest we forget—do not fail to
plant a tree by the side of the road
that leads us all to our silent home.
And while our Country is in the
throes of danger, and the armies of
the world are marching towards
battle fields, may the bird of peace
spread its wings o'er our fair land, is
the wish of

institutions of its kind in the world.
He has been home a month or so

confidently look for Charlie to take
a high position in his chosen profes-

thorough love of it, combined with
best of ability, that makes for suc-
cess.

Norman should give these
boys an enthusiastic sendoff
when they depart for the front.
It is no picnic they are going
on, but a grim reality, and we
should show our appreciation
of that fact. It is the very
least we can do.

NEGROES WENT IN SINGING.
Capt. Lewis 3. Morey says of the
battle at CarriRal: "For forty-five
minutes the American negro troopers,
facing almost certain death, smiled
and joked and sang songs as they
fought their grim fight against odds,
fully realizing they had been trapped
and had little chance of coming out
alive."
Captain Morey said he had never
seen such valor as was displayed by
Capt. Charles T. Boyd in leading a
handful of dismounted skirmishers
through the machine gun lire and into
the ambush of death. He added that
it was not until their ammunition was
exhausted that the troop was finally
cut to pieces and he told of the heroic
death of Lieut. Henry R. Adair of
Portland, Ore., in an attempt to re-
plenish it.

TRY TO CHANGE LAW FACULTY
Oklahoma City, Ok., June 25.—An
attempt has been made several times
in the State Board of Education to
make changes in the law school of the
University of Oklahoma. The recent
meeting of the board saw the last at-
tempt for this probably in a motion
that the president of the board ap-
point a committee of two members
of the board to write a course of
study for the law school. This mo-
tion occasioned bitter debate. Upon
a vote being taken two members
J. G. Ralls and F. B. Fite favored the
motion.
All the others opposed it. State
Superintendent Wilson, chairman of
thP board, denounced the motion as
a movement of an impracticable cha-
racter that would be wrong and ill
advised. He told the members that
there were in his opinion no mem-
bers of the board capable of preparing
such a course of study.
—Mrs. Gene Blossom and son, of
Atoka, are here visiting her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Sadler, and will
remain a month or more.
—Mayor Lindsay's telegram to
the automobile manfg. company yes-
terday, that Norman would not ac-
cept the fire fighting machine un-
less it got here by July 10th, brought
results, as he got a wire from the
company this morning that the ma-
chine would be shipped on the 13th of
July. Mr. Lindsay fired another tele-
gram to the company this morning in-
sisting upon his former ultimatum,
that it must get here by the 10th, and
believes the outfit will get it here on
time.
—Jep Knight is fit by training to
serve you.—Adv.
—Prof. Oscar Jacobson arrived
home Sunday night from Boston
where he went some ten days ago
to receive a degree in art from Har-
vard college.
DEATH OF WILL KISCHEII)
Will P. Eischeid, one of the best
known young men of Norma , son of
Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Eischeid, of 421
West Main, died at St Anthony's
hospital in Oklahoma City, at 10
o'clock a. m., Monday, June 20, 11)10,
from the effects of an operation for
tumor. He was some 23 years of age.
The funeral services will be held at
St. Joseph's church tomorrow (Wed-
nesday), at 9 o'clock a. m., with in-
terment in the Catholic cemetery.
Will was a graduate of the phar-
macy department of the University,
and afterwards connected with the
Fred Reed drug store. Recently he
has been in a drug store at Cordell,
Okla. He was a young man who made
many friends, being a thoroughly
upright and reliable young man, and
his death is universally regretted.
The sympathies of the community ^.
out to the bereaved parents and
relatives.

A letter from Judge Hughes was

WATCH NORMAN GROW
*or 25 years we have been watching
and assisting Norman to grow. Dur-
ing these years it has been our policy
to secure, improve and hold as an in-
vestment as much of Norman real
estate as our means would permit
Our only regret is that our means
would not permit us to secure more
than we now hold. It has all proven
profitable. We cannot buy all of the
good investment propositions still to
be secured. Years of experience with
real estate in Norman enables us to
make choice selections for investment
for others, as well as for ourselves.
If any of the readers of this adver-
tisement desire to be shown where
they can safely and with profit make
investments in Norman real estate,
we would be pleased to have them
drop into our office and look over
propositions we have listed.
