M A K KI ED—HA R V EY - BATTE
At the home of the bride in
Cameron, Texas, on Sunday, Oct. 22,
1916, at 1:30 p. m., the marriage of
Mr. Mac Harvey of Norman and Miss
Jessie Lee Batte of Cameron was
solemnized by Rev. Willis, of the
Cameron M. E. church, South, in the
presence of relatives of the bride and
a few intimate friends. Immediately
after the ceremony the young; couple
took train for Norman, arriving here
at 4 o'clock this morning:. They were
the recipients of many beautiful
presents from Cameron people, ac-
companied by the heartiest best wish-
es of the bride's many friends in that
city, where she has resided all her
life. These will be supplemented by
the earnest congratulations of many
Norman friends, who will wish them
every happiness. They are now
domiciled in a pretty little home on
West Tonahwa, which Mr. Harvey
had prepared for his bride.
The young man is one of Norman's
finest young men, with fine business
abilities and excellent habits. He is
now connected with the I. M. Jackson
furniture establishment. The bride is
a most charming young lady, a real
Texas girl, with those qualities of
mind and person which go to make a
real helpmate. She is a cousin of
Mrs. Ed. II. Burke, and has frequent*
ly visiter the latter in this city,
making numerous friends who gladly
welcome her to a permanent residence
with us.

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR MEATS.
Peddlers have been making the
rounds in Norman peddling meats.
Do you know what you are' getting
when you patronize them? Do you
know what sort of cattle the meat
comes from—whether healthy or dis-
eased? Every meat mi#ket and every
butcher in the city is under govern-
I ment inspection; every, hoof of cattle
i is inspected before it is killed, and
| when you buy from one of these
! recognized markets you KNOW you
j are getting healthy meat.
j And, besides, you are buying from
j a recognized dealer, one who is
responsible; not from some ir-
responsible peddler who cares noth-
ing for you or your family, but will
put off on you something that is un-
desirable and unfit.

UNIVERSITY GOES TO EVERY
CITIZEN.
President S. I). Brooks Explains
Relation of State School to
People as Whole.
Cherokee, Okla., Oct. 2.1.—(Special)
—"People generally seem to have
two mistaken ideas about a univer-
sity," President Stratton D. Brooks
of the University of Oklahoma told
farmers of Alfalfa county in an ad-
dress Thursday afternoon. Dr. Brooks
was the rtiief speaker of the day at
the Community Institute, held at
Cherokee last week under the aus-
pices of the Oklahoma Varmer-
Stocknian. He talked to citizens on
the general problems of education,
and on some of the activities the
state university of Oklahoma is fol-
lowing in an attempt to be of real ser-
vice to every community in Oklahoma.
"The first of these mistaken ideas,"
he said, "is that the work of a uni-
versity is limited to those pupils
fortunate to be able to spend their
time on the campus and in the class
rooms of the school. The second is
that those men and women who are
fortunate enough to be able to attend
Oklahoma lawyers; the college of en-
gineering: is making a study of the
great possibilities for development in
this state, and in training Oklahoma
boys to take charge of that develop-
ment. The school of pharmacy is
training: young men to be first class
pharmacists, and the demand for
university trained men is so great
that it is difficult to keep a student
until he is graduated. The school of
medipne is training Oklahoma boys
to meet the health problems of this
state.
"And even the college of arts and
sciences, which many consider a de-
partment merely for the study of
the impractical, trains men and wo-
men for specific professions, and
makes of them experts in those lines.
"Work in this department is divided
into two parts. First there is that
'finding ground,' that early work,
which gives one a foundation for al-
most any profession he or she may
wish to enter. Many students take
this who have not yet had an op-
portunity to decide what profession
AN ADDRESS WORTH WHILE.

"Salesmanship."
An expert on Salesmanship and
business methods is in our city today,
visiting the University of Oklahoma,
where he talks at 4 o'clock this after-
noon. He has been prevailed upon to
give his address at the city hall at
8 o'clock tonight (Monday) and
every business man and salesman am!
clerk in the city should hear him. He
is Mr. Wm. T. Goffe, of the Shelton
School of Salesmanship In Chicago,
and declared by Dr. C. H. Stocking
of the university, to be one of the
very best exponenb^ of his profession
in the United States. Admission is
free, and your presence is earnestly
desired.
It will be "worth while" in every
respect, and merchants should re-
quest their clerks to attend—and at-
tend themselves.

"It is the business of a university,"
he said, "to forward all kinds of edu-
cation, everywhere, provided some
other agency has not been specifically
established to perform the given
work. This definition is now generally
accepted. We are attempting to fol-
low it.
"In a state where we have the
initiative and referendum, it is vital
that citizens should have some means
of informing themselves on the ques-
tions of the day. 'So the university
publishes bulletins, collections of in-
formation on almost every kind of
subject, and sends them out to citi-
zens free. It is important that stu-
dents in high schools study these
questions, and debate them. We have
organized a state high school debat-
ing league. The learning of- the uni-

The vision of the convention was a

At the parsonage of St. Joseph's
Catholic church, on Saturday morn-
ing, Oct. 21, 1916, with Rev. Mon-
signor Metter officiating,* the marriage
of Dr. John Trenton Tucker of Fort
Worth, Texas, and Miss Helen Pauline
Osterhaus was solemnized in the
presence of a few intimate friends of
the bride. After a splendid wedding
dinner at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore
Osterhaus, the happy couple left on
the noon train for their home in Fort
Worth.
The groom is one of the prominent
physicians and surgeons of Fort
Worth, enjoying a fine practice and
standing high in professional and
social circles. The bride is a popular
and accomplished young lady, one
who has grown to womanhood in Nor-
man and made many friends by her
charming womanly attributes. For
some months she has been connected
with the leading hospital of Fort
Worth as nurse, being regarded as
one of the best in the institution. The
Transcript joins in wishing them
every happiness.
Victor Murdock has come out for
Wilson in his Wichita Eagle, publish-
ing an editorial in his Sunday's issue
to that effect. His action has not
caused even a ripple on the body
politic, for he has been sulking and
sullen since he was defeated for U. S.
Senator in Kansas in 1914 by such
a tremendous majority. Fact is, the
Eagle has been losing prestige, in-
fluence and patronage for several
years, Henry Allen's Wichita "Bea-
con" being now recognized as the
leading newspaper of Southern Kan-
sas. Old Marsh must turn over in his
grave when he sees the mess Victor
has made of the great newspaper
property he left.

Oklahoma problems.
"And besides this," he said,
"every citizen in the state benefits
indirectly from the direct benefit
students get. When your child falls
ill of a fever, it may be a matter of
life or death to you that the physician
you call he competent. When ^'our
property rights or personal liberty
are endangered, it is vastly important
that the lawyer you hire be skillful.
When necessity sends you to ^ drug
store with a prescription, it is vital
that is be compounded by a skillful
pharmacist. Even though the particu-
lar doctor or lawyer or pharmacist
you otill may not be a graduate of
the University of Oklahoma, the
standards for those and other pro-
fessions are set by the state school.
So in more ways than one the uni-
versity does reach every community.
"Then there is the misconception,"
he said, "that a university is only a
college of liberal arts. It is in fact a
collection of schools and colleges, each
having a specific purpose, that pur-
pose being to train men and women
to become experts in some particular
line of work, in which they can at
the same time reap benefits for them-
selves in the way of increased earn-
ing capacity and repay society for the
benefit they have received by render-
ing honest and efficient service."
President Brooks took up in detail
each school and department of the
University of Oklahoma and showed
their aims and purposes. "We have a
number of schools," he said, "the pur-
pose of which is to give specific pro-
fessional training. The school of law

In making a telephone call, it saves a lot of time and

The absolutely sure way is to first consult the tele-

listen carefully when the operator repeats back to you
