METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Services at the usual hours tomor-
row. The morning theme will be:
"The General Rules of the Methodist
Episcopal Church." In the evening the
Men's Brotherhood will have charge
of the services, which will be con-
ducted on gospel team lines. Theme:
"Loyalty." Everybody invited to all
services. Special music.
We deem it well at this time to call
attention to our business and finan-
cial matters. The second install-
ment on the notes signed dedication
day for the payment of the balance
due on the church building, will be due
with interest at 10 per cent, on Oct.
1st. Pay the same to Fred Reed,
treasurer, and get receipt. The clos-
ing payment on these notes will be
due April 1st next, and they will be
treated the same as any other note,
and prompt settlement expected.
Again, the convas for the budget of
financial expense for next year will
be undertaken soon, as the provision
of the Discipline now is that this work
shall be done previous to the close of
the Conference year, so that all week-
ly payments under this system shall
begin promptly with the first Sunday
of the new Conference year. Con-
ference meets in a month now, and
the present pastorate will come to an
end. Make prompt, full, liberal pro-
vision for continuing the work next
year. The third item in this business
is to remember the balance due on
this year's budget, as promised, and
pay it immediately.
Dr. A. T. House will give his lec-
ture on Belgium, illustrated by some
forty stereoptican pictures, at our
church some evening in the near fu-
ture. Watch for the date to be pub-
lished later, also announcements of
the window posters. This will be
worth while. Certainly the word of
one who has just returned from that
war torn land will be of interest to
all.

fice on West Eufaula street at 11

day evening testimonial meeting at 8
o'clock. All cordially invited. Sunday
school at 10 o'clock. The reading room

September 21st, enrollment taking up
Tuesday and Wednesday.
It is believed there wil' be over 500
PVeshmen, and the number of Sopho-
mores will be equally large. The class
fight between these two organizations
promises to be more strenuous this
year than usual, as the classes are
more equally matched in numbers
than for some years.
The buildings, campus and grounds,
and everything connected with the
university, have been given a complete
overhauling and renovating and are
well prepared for the great influx of
students.
The young men and young women
coming to the university this year,
come from the best families in Okla-
homa, and Norman gives them hearty
welcome, trusting they will like our
pretty little city and our people.
TYPICAL MISSOURI LADY.
A Gentry county (Mo.) woman cele-
brated her eightieth birthday by at-
j tending an "Uncle Tom's Cabin" show
; and the next day, just to show some

; I.e, she joined with them in skipping
the rope, qualifying as a juvenile by
skipping a hundred times without
missing.

tions will be fully realized. night open-air gatherings comfort-
able. They will be re-inaugurated,
Mr. Edwards says, as soon as the
weather permits.
They have certainly been great
"Gatherings," attracting large audi-
ences and giving delightful enter-
tainments, and everywhere by every-
body Mr. L. J. Edwards is compli-
mented and commended for inaugurat-
ing them and congratulated on their
great success. They have been bene-
ficial in every way, and in no way
more than in inspiring a harmonious
community spirit.
tast nght's entertainment was the
best of the series, and 3,000 people
witnessed the dances and listened to
the speeches and music. The dance
! of the little girls under the manage-
ment of Miss Frona Asher was es-
pecially beautiful and entertaining.
Mayor L. C. Lindsay made a few
remarks, in the course of which he
took occasion to accept the beautiful
fountain presented to the city by Mr.
and Mrs. E. B. Johnson, and on the
part of the city and all its people >
earnestly thanked the donors for the
elegant gift.
Dr. Stratton I). Brooks, president
of the university, made a worth
while address—as he always does—
whenever called upon; giving his
hearers something to think about.
He took as his subject "The Uni-
versity and the Town," telling of what
great financial, social, moral and in-
tellectual benefit the institution was
to the city, and how the city was
reciprocating in furnishing a clean,
moral and religious environment.
"Statistics proved," he said, "that the
average student at the university j
spent $335 per year, so that from that
source alone something like $000,000
was put in circulation yearly in Nor-
man, and $200,000 more by the state
in buildings, paying salaries of
teachers, etc., and in another year j
that sum would reach $1,000,000 or
more. In return, the property owners ,
of the city, almost without exception, '
| were vieing with each other, as they
should, in making "The University
City" the most beautiful and desirable

Transcript wishes him success in his )y free of bootleKKerS) Kamblers,
pool hall frequenters and other un-
desirable characters, with the result
that Norman had the reputation of
being the cleanest city in the state
in this respect. He also paid his
respects to some "undesirable citi-
zens" who allowed their lots to grow
up to cockleburs and weeds, declaring
that they thereby demonstrated their
unworthiness to live in such a com-
munity as "The University City" peo-
ple were trying to make.
Mr. L. J. Edwards made several
of his good talks, also taking a
strenuous shot at property owners
who did not clean up their premises
and mow the weeds upon their valu-
able property, thereby making such
property an eye-sore to the adjoining
property and the streets upon which
they were located.
Miss Marguerite Newblock gave a
I very fine recitation, which was gen-
I erously applauded.
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kingkadewere
present and were introduced to the
| audience by Mr. Edwards as "the
first legal settlers of Norman." Mr.
Kingkade responded in a few remarks,
, telling of his early day experiences
, here and of the delight of himself and 1
i Mrs. K. to be with us once more.

singing of "Dixie," "Way Down Up-

President Ripley states
Santa Fe's position on eight-
hour wage law and asks
an important question.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Co.
Chicago, III., September 8, 1916.
To Santa Fe Employes and the Public:
This is the position of The Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway Company regarding the controversy
with its train-service employes over their demand for
increased compensation:
Congress, hastily acting under a threat of four
leaders of labor organizations enacted a so-called eight-
hour law, which is nothing more or less than an ad-
vance of twenty to twenty-five per cent in the wages
of the best paid men in railway service.
It is only fair to our employes and the public to say
that The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Com-
pany does not intend to comply with the law except as
and when ordered to do so by the court of last resort
The merits of the case have been fully explained in
the last few months and need no further mention.
Should the courts finally decide that the increase
must be paid, there will be an immediate demand from
the remaining classes of labor, resulting in entire in-
ability to pay without heavy increases in rates to be
paid by the public—especially the farming class.
IS THE PUBLIC PREPARED TO MEET THE
DEMAND?
This notice is for the information of all concerned.
E. P. RIPLEY, President.
