Barbour Says
There is but one thing as cruel,
destructive and ruthless as a German
on retreat, and that is a cigarette
smoker in front of a fresh box of
matches.

ZONA POMADE THE HEALING,
BEAl T1FYING POWDER.
There is more Zona Pomade sold in
the state than any other face powder.
The wonder to me is that we sell any-
thing else, for Zona has so many ad-
vantages. It is healing to the skin, it
stays on better than other powder
and it is beautifying, hiding the
blemishes and enhancing the beauties.
You wouldn't go to the milk man
and say, "Here is a nickle, give me a
dimes worth of milk for it." Yet that
is exactly what you do when you ex-
pect to get a long Coco Cola for a j
jitney. The soda- man should be
thankful that you don't ask him for
a long strong coke with a little lime
juice in it. This coke abuse is the
fault of the weakness of the fountain
man. The manufacturers of Coca |
Cola are not afficted. with any such
philanthropy. It does no good to buy
one barrel and expect two. You are
stuck $1.50 per gallon for every gallon
you buy, and the Coco Cola people are
building sky scrapers in Atlanta, Ga.
THE SCOTCH TONE HAIR
RESTORER
It is your duty to look your best and
if you do not do so you wrong your-
self. A fifty cent bottle of Scotch
Tone Ilair Restorer will make such an
improvement in your appearance that
you will thank us for calling your at-
tention to it.
It is wonderful the things that an
ingenious woman can do with a
package of Diamond or Putman
Dyes. It requires but little skill and
the effect is wonderful.
An old dress than you are tired of,
a little trimming and a little work and
you have a new creation.
If you used a Kodak a hundred
years you would always be learning
something new, something about pos-
ing, exposures, or developing. That is
what makes it so interesting. Y'ou are
always getting better. Everyone
should have a fad, the doctors say.
Make kodaking your fad.
If you go to a concert at the Opera
House you endure what they sing.
You may like it or you may not. But
you must sit still and listen. With a
Grafanola it is different. You pick
out your own music. Every number is
"sung by request"; your own request.
You are missing many happy hours
if you have not bought yours yet.

-F. O. Miller sold the Ferguson
property on West Main on Saturday,
C. M. Green being the purchaser for
$1,800. The property consists of a
house and tract of acreage 125x240
feet, and is the making of a desirable
home.
—The Hercules Fire Insurance com-
pany proposes to follow the lead of
other stock fire companies and ap-
point local agents in every town in
the state and to keep the premiums
collected in Oklahoma banks. Several
agency appointments have already
been made. The company has received
applications for general and local
agencies from all over the United j
States with guarantees of a large vol- j
ume of business. There is no reason I
why an Oklahoma Fire Insurance
company should not become as large
and powerful as any eastern or
foreign company.

Big Crowd Saturday.
Inter scholastic School Meet Promises
Bring a Record-Breaking
Crowd to Norman—Many
Events on Tap.
"The war has not affected the in- •
terscholatic meet in the least,"
stated Prof. L. W. VV. Morrow, chair-
man of the meet committee, in speak-
ing of the big events scheduled for
the week-end. Fifty-five schools, or
over 1200 individuals, have to date
formally entered the contests, which
will start with the art exhibits
Thursday at 8.30 a. m. and run con-
stantly until Saturday evening.
Outside of athletics there are 400
entrants, which more thn doubles
the number interested in such events
in former years. The committee plans
to place large signs on every univer-
sity building which will tell of the |
events taking place in them and the
time of such contests.
Never before in all the years of
the meet has there been such ripe
promise of, record smashing contests.
It is conservatively estimated that at
least five standing state records will
be broken in the many athletic num-
bers.
Bennie Owen will have supervision
of the baseball games, which will
take place on three well prepared
diamonds. The track will be dragged
just before the meet, and complete
double jumping and vaulting pits will
be in shape. The tennis courts are
above the ordinary in speed, and the
entrants in tennis are twice what they
were last season.
Never before has high school class
competition been so abundant, and
the largest number of high school
record holders in Oklahoma to clash
on the same field will be a reality
Saturday. Prominent athletes who will
come are Wilson, of Medford, a rec-
ord breaker at A. and M. last week;
Bradley, of Cherokee, holder of the
shot record; Sharp of Mt. View, who
walked away with the pole vault last
season; McGee, of Hennessy, all round
man in last week's meet at Still-
water; and Abbott of Norman, winner
of 14 points at Stillwater and 11) at
Dallas with all around honors at the
Texas meet.
Revival Services
Evangelist Hamilton preached an-
other sermon on "Why I Believe the
Bible" at the Christian chun l revival
last night. Mrs. Brock sang an ef-
fective solo entitled, " I Have the Sav-
ior With Me." There was a.i increase
in the attendance over the niirht be-
fore, which proves that these evange-
lists are becoming more popular each
day.
The evangelistic company, togen.er
with the pastor of the church, Rev.
Wickizer, visited the high school today
and had charge of th chapel exercises.
Mr. and Mrs. Brock and Mrs. Hamil-
ton sang a catchy high school song at
the beginning of the program, which
was heartily enjoyed and applauded
by the students, and Rev. Mr. Hamil-
ton gave an address on "Decisiveness
in Character." His speech was gener-
ously applauded.
"I* must believe in that that cannot
be destroyed," declared Evangelist
Hamilton last night. "The bible is in-
destructible! It has stood the test it3
fiercest enemies have put it to and is
sold in multiplied numbers all over
the world today. Supposing that you
should undertake the task of destroy-
ing it from the face of the earth, what
have you accomplished? If you should
engage every transportation facility
on land and sea and gather together
every copy of the word of Cod and
pile them up in one mighty mountain
and apply a torch, it would still live in
maconry, in art pictures and sculp-
ture, on wall mottoes, and in the
hearts and memories of countless
numbers of the children of God. It is
engraved on tombstones, it is fired in
chinaware, yea, it abounds everywhere
where civilization exists."
Tonight it to be "Skinning Night,"
according, to the announcement made
by the Rev. Hamilton. The "Skinning"
sermon which was announced I r last
Monday night has been postponed for
tonight.

Lindsay Still Mayor
I L. C. Lindsay is still mayor of Nor-
man, his term not expiring until mid-
night next Sunday night. Automatical-
ly, the terms of all officers expire at
the last minute of the day before the
first Monday in May. All new officers,
therefore, assume the rights, privi-
leges and duties of their jobs at mid-
' night, Sunday.
Road Flection
The propositions to vote bonds for
building of bridges and construction
of roads in Little River and Norman
townships will be voted on next Mon-
day, May 5th. As is always the case,
the enemies of any project are always
moie active than those who favor it,
and in this matter the opponents of
the bond issue are moving heaven
and earth to defeat the proposition. It
behooves the friends of good roads,
good bridges and the upbuilding of
the community to get busy, get out all
the voters they can, and push the
project to a successful issue.
The Transcript does not like the
voting of bonds for any purpose, but
there seems to be no other way to
equalize the burden. If subscriptions
were taken up for the work, many
would undoubtedly give liberally, but
others who would be greatly bene- 1
, fitted would not give a cent, would, in
fact, prosper on their neighbors
liberality. The bond issue equalizes the
expense. Those who own much proper-
ty pay their porportionate amount
with those who own little, and the
corporations such as the Santa Fe,
Interurban, I'ioneer Telephone com-
! pany and others, pay goodly amounts.
It is the only way to get the work
done, and is of vital importance that
it should be done, and done right. The
committee is working energetically
j and untiringly and should be given
every assistance in our power.
-The Big 5 Sale will be loaded with
big fi bargains. Saturday, Mayth 5th.
