To Our Customers
Owing to prevailing high values of
commodities which we handle, requiring
additional capital to carry stocks, we find it
necessary to insist on accounts being paid
promptly when due.
All accounts are due and payable
on the 1st of each month, and if not paid by
the 10th such customers will be placed on the
C. 0. I), list.
This will apply on accounts becoming
due July 1st, and delinquent July 10th, as
well as accounts that have been due for
prior months.

J. J. Burke, ♦
Editor of Transcript,
Norman, Okla. *
We arrived here last evening at 9 *
p. m. on Santa Fe No. 8. A big crowd *
met us at the depot. Mayor Thomp- *
son himself couldn't come. He is busy *
opposing President Wilson's war *
measures and with other matters of *
a local nature. Besides A. didn't noti- *
fy him that I was coming. A big | y
crowd got on with us at Kansas City.
Some of them accompanied us all the
way to Chicago. Lack of time and
business pressure impelled some of
them to drop off at intermediate
points. Altogether it was rather a
triumphal journey. Except for recent
showers in Central Oklahoma there
was evidence of a protracted drouth
until we reached the extreme eastern
portion of Kansas. When I arrived at
Kansas City I was so pleased with
the country 'over which we had
traveled that I expressed wish to own
a strip about one hundred miles wide
from Norman to K. C. Since coming
to Chicago I think I would like to
have that strip extended from K. C.
to the Windy City on the lake. I have
decided, however, not to buy said
strip as I cannot spare the money for
that purpose just at the present writ-
ing. But the Santa Fe certainly does
run through some fine a * country in
Oklahoma, Kansas, Western Missouri
and Illinois as God's sun ever shone
upon.
For a hundred miles or so in North-
eastern Missouri we passed through
some rather rough country and the

—O'Haver (iets Contract: W. T..
O'Haver has secured the contract of!
doing the hauling of material for,
the new auditorium building. Holm-1
boe & Co. knew he will do satisfactory j
work, for they've had him before. The ,
contract is a big one, but W. T. and
his big teams and good workmen1
can handle it. The first carload of j
cement for the building arrived this'
morning:, and the work of excavating j
for the foundation will begin im-
mediately. A strong wire fence is now j
being built around the site, and lum-1
ber for the work shops is on the I
ground.

son, with streams of the national
colors radiating from it.

tistically draped, and received univer-
sal admiration.

Sam's precautionary measures
against German destruction and ter-

Fort Madison, where we crossed the
Father of Waters. The water seemed
to stand still like the water in a lake.
It was spread out into the bottoms
and hundreds of acres of timber was
partly inundated and all of it dead
except for a few bunches of willows.
This eddy water and inundating ex-
tended for miles up the river above
Fort Madison. What was the cause?
1 guessed it, and upon inquiry was
corroborated. Some twenty miles
down the river at Keokuk they had
put a great dam across the Mississip-
pi. The conductor told me that the
board of condemnation had allowed
$200,000,000.00 for damage to land
and property; $185,000,000,00 more
than Jefferson paid for the whole of j representatives in any matter,

their reputation as men of ability and
