Johnny's Malady Two More Boys Go local and personal
! A strange and horrid malady has |
grabbed poor Johnny Jones.
He has a feeling in his head, sen-
sations in his bones.
He fears that he's about to die from
something he has caught.
He says he feels exactly like he
really don't know what.
It may be hydrophobia. Perhaps he's
going blind.
It doesn't hurt his appetite, but
plays hob with his mind.
He thinks he has been poisoned by
some sneaking German spy.
But, anyhow, whate'er it is, 'tis
likely he will die.
He thinks his awful malady may be
tic douloureanaux,
Because he can't pronounce it. He
don't know what to do.
For surely he will pass away—he's
now in a decline—
For he has to strat to school next
Monday morn at 9.
Two more of the Norman boys se-
lected from Cleveland county for the
army left today, with many friends
at the depot to wish them goodbye.
They were:
Fid. J. Barbour, of Norman.
II. B. Caldwell, of Shawnee.
Mr. Barbour is a son of Mrs. J. B.
Barbour, and a brother of Ben, Bob
and John. He has been connected with
Barbour's Sanitary Grocery for a long
time and is one of the most popular
boys in the city. The other young man
is not as well known as Ed., but was
given the same warm har^I clasp and
good wishes.
Tomorrow (Sunday) Dan Loy Gar-
rett and Floyd Abshier, both Norman
boys,, go, who are the last until Sept.
19th.

GOING TO SCHOOL!
ARE THEY READY?
Don't let them start on this mo-
mentous journey without all their
"tools," don't retard them because
school supplies are "supposed to be
high."
They are no higher now than last
year and a call on us will prove this.

Dr. J. L. Day Writes
Fort Clark, Texas, Sept. 6, 1917.
Mr. J. J. Burke, Norman, Okla.,
j Dear Mr. Burke:
j I am for the present located at Fort
j Clark, Texas about 150 miles west of
[ San Antonio and eight miles off the
1 Southern Pacific.
j This is a very old army post and
| is now being used as a training camp
j for a complete divisional sanitary
I train. Our unit consists of four Field
Hospitals and four Ambulances corps.
I am attached to one of the Field Hos-
pitals. We are being put through an
intensive course of training, drilling
two hours every day and attending
lectures on hospital organization and
rules of army service another two
hours. Then we spend three hours in
the afternoon instructing the enlisted
men of the Hospital Corps in hygiene,
first aid nursing, and minor surgery.
The rest of each day we have for
study and rest. By the time night
j comes we are all ready for a ,?ood
nights' rest. The nights are delight-
fully cool, days hot but not oppres-
sive. We have a fine lot of men
among the officers many who have
left home and lucrative practises.
Also many have their families here
and the social life of the Post is very
pleasing. When we go or where we go,
of course no one knows, but the gen-
eral opinion is that we are bound for
somewhere in France, possibly this
late fall or winter.
Please send my Transcript to me
here addressing as follows: Lt. J. L.
Day, M. R. C., Fort Clark, Texas.
Very respectfully yours,
A special to the Dallas News from
Oklahoma City says that Joe S.
O'Brien, secretary to Governor Wil-
liams, has accepted appointment as
correspondent for an Oklahoma City
newspaper at Washington and will go
to the capital Oct. 1. The office of
secretary to the Governor will prob-
ably be given to Chester Westfall of
this city, who has been for some time
manager and secretary of the State
Council of Defense. Westfall is a
graduate of the School of Journalism
of the University of Oklahoma. Those
of us in Norman who know young
Westfall are certain he will make a
most efficient and diplomatic private
secretary, and hope he will get it. The
salary is $2,000.

The Morning Glory
As one star differeth from anoth-
er in glory, so does the flowers of
the earth, and at last we have found
morning glory, and the glory of
our new found morning glory passeth
understandingly.
It's fullness of beauty when once
seen will call you back again. The
public is cordially invited to come
to the home of the Civic Committee
and look at the morning glory, whose
seed came from Arkansaw, the state
where apple orchards laden with sun-
kissed fruit invite you to come; and
Arkansaw, where the mountains are
filled with healing waters and the
valleys are laden with rice and cotton
fields, and now the morning glory
that Arkansaw produced is glory
enough for any state. The seeds of
this beautiful flower are free to all
who ask.
THE CIVIC COMMITTEE.
(The Transcript Editor can certify
that this Morning Glory is all that Mr.
Edwards says it is; the "prettiest in
town. It is a Japenese, purple in col-
or, and very beautiful. You ought to
see it, if you love flowers.
