teams were set before a well-prepared
spread, which the girls of the senior
class served.

LOCAL AND PERSONAL
—Rev. V. C. Griffith, rector of St.
Paul's Episcopal church, has been
quite sick for several weeks, but is
now steadily recovering.
—Attorney B. R. McDonald was
here today from Pawhuska, where he
is doing well in the practice of his
profession.
—Ben H. Dilbeck and Miss Flossie
Carpenter, both of Blanchard, were
married on, Wednesday. The groom
was a former Norman boy and has
numerous friends here.
—The "Grant Six" is giving a $50
Liberty Bond with every automobile
they sell, without any advance in
prices. The local agents report the
sale of six machines during the past
tew days.
—Some farmers in the vicinity of
Lexington are paying $2.00 per 100
to cotton pickers, and find them hard
to get at even that price. Everybody
and girl who can possibly get into
the cotton field should do so at once.
The crop should be saved.
—When you drop into any«.of the
banks these days you are certain to
see a half dozen farmers with big
rolls of $5 and $10 bills. They are
cashing their cotton checks, and their
checks are certainly "worth while"
these days. Glad to see somebody with
a "roll" if we haven't got one our-
selves. ,
—Manny Parker was here from
Oklahoma City today cashing his cot-
ton checks. He tells us their rental
from his farm 2 1-2 miles west of
Norman was excellent thisyear. Wheat
was good, and the one-quarter from
the twenty bales of cotton helped out
amazingly. T. W. Moore is farming
the pl^e and has also done well.
—Hev. H. E. Siodgrass was here
from Purcell today conferring with
Rev. E. R. Welch about church mat-
ters. Mr. Snodgr^ss was formerly
pastor of the Nofman M. E. church,
South, and the past year has been at
Purcell, where he built a new church
building and has been successful in
his work.
—Through the Giles-Weir Invest-
ment company this week, Bob Barbour
sold a couple of lots in Ardmore for
$1,600. Bob paid $800 for them two
or three years ago, so got a good in-
terest on his investment. The Giles-
Weir company also sold the A. A.
Hayes 80 acres east of Noble to W.
L. Teague, for $2,600, Mr. Hayes tak-
ing in the Teague property on east
Eufaula at $1,200.
Burke's Big Sale
The D. W. Burke Dispersion Sale
of Shorthorns at Oklahoma City, on
Thursday, Oct. 25th, attracted a
laarge crowd of cattlemen.
Among those from Cleveland coun-
ty were Chas, Laurer, R. V. Downing,
A. W. Short, Geo. B. Dodd, W. H.
Hoy, Ira Hoy, T. E. Smith, Wm. Syn-
nott, Col. Graves, Mr. and Mrs. P. C.
Lessly, and Jas. Lawrence.
The noted "White Seal" Bull was
purchased by Mr. Chas. Laurer of
Norman, consideration $2,500, which
should afford a liberal measure of civ-
ic pride to all residents of Cleveland
county interested in the great live-
stock industry in theircounty.This ani-
mal is not only recognized and conced-
ed one of the best in the Southwest,
but if the best fifteen Shorthorn bulls
in the world today were congregated
together "White Seal" would be one
in their midst.
Mr. A. W. Short topped the sale of
cows in the purchase of "Anona Laven-
der" at $460.00.
Taken as a whole the sale might be
regarded as fair as regards price, with
the odds in favor of the purchasers.
