—Oklahoma City boasts a couple
who may get into the grand opera
game, both being fine singers. They
are Mr. and Mrs. Nolan Whitt. Jim
Shears remembers Mr. Whitt as a
dishwasher in the Shears resturant at
Wynnewood some years ago. That's
no disgrace, however, and Jim doesn't
mean it as such, but only as an ex-
ample from how lowly a position a
person may rise if they have the
talent and ability and push.

tyie Loyalty Food Pledge workers
of Norman have done splendid work
the past two days. Some who have
never done any work of the kind are
bringing in splendid reports. We es-

two of the flowers of Norman, who
have volunteered to work the business
part of town. One of them has a broth-
er already in France, and the other
a brother in the training camp who
no doubt will go soon. They are show-
ing by their splendid work that they
are standing by the boys at the
front.

All the classes suffered from

for the average was based on the

number who did the 'actual picking.
The fire that afternoon attracted the
attention of many of the boy* and
girls from the contest. Had it not been
for that it is thought 10,000 pounds
would have been picked.
Better have another contest. Three
or four or five bales saved these days
is worth while.
Hallowe'en
"Celebrated" to the Limits of It's
Possibilities by Old and
Young of Norman.
Hallowe'en, the date set for the ap-
pearance on earth of "things" ghostly,
the night for "unearthly" doings and
the occasion for the general disar-
rangement of the geographic ideas
of the builders and city builders, has
come and gone in Norman with the
usual result—a realignment of chick-
en houses, coal houses and other val-
uable possessions of the genus homo,
Man—and incidentally the placing of
many useful articles to suit the fancy
of our irrepressable youth's idea of
what should be done to commemor-
ate the fact that we are at war.
The high school campus, as usual,
was the leading, and most conspicious
spot, for the "staging" of one of these
"stunts," that location this morn-
ing presenting one of the queer ideas
of the American youth as to what con-
stitutes a "celebration" of Hallowe'en
—with many trimmings.
Other places in the city were visited
by the time-honor^! ghosts, and
things ethereal, during the dark
hours and "late-to-wqrk" was the lot
of many householder this morning,
So far, however, no reports have
reached the city officials of any ma-
terial damage being done to property
—with the possible exception of the
removal of the building to the high
school grounds.
To a large extent the celebration
of the feast of Hallowe'en was con-
fined to the parading of ghostly fig-
ures with the usual wind-up of a
party of some kind. In these things
active participants ranged from the
instructors at the university to the
many youngsters at the grade schools.

New Policy
WAR TAX NOTICE
The United States govern-
ment has seen fit to make a tax
of one cent on each 5c and
10c admission to theatres, a
tax of 2c on each 15c and 20c
admission. This lax is intend-
ed as a tax on the amusement
seeking public and not as a
tax on the theatres, as they
are already heavily taxed on
their seating capacity. The
theatreff of the United States
are forced to collect this tax
but they are allowed several
different ways in which to make
this collection. If the penny
change proposition is used it
will cause no end of trouble
for the very simple reason that
there are not enough pennies
in circulation in the United
States to care for the Thea-
tres in New York State alone
in case they should all adopt
the penny change method.
THE UNIVERSITY THEA-
TRE ANNOUNCES, that on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, their prices of admission
will be as heretofore, 15c for
adults and 5c for children,
and that on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, admission prices
will henceforth be 10c for
children and 20c for adults,
and the theatre will pay the tax
Matinee prices
will remain as now, 5c for
children and 10c for adults.
The idea of charging the extra
admission price at the week-
end is to encourage our pa-
trons to attend the theatre in
the fore part of the week, and
the same idea predominates in
leaving matinee prices the
same. The people of Norman
are urged not to forego the
pleasures of the theatre on ac-
count of this tax, as it is really
a patriotic duty which they are

—A. L. Rollins went to Purcell to-
day to try and get a couple of Seneca
automobiles for which he has orders
in this city. The Seneca seems to be
in demand.
—Mrs. R. A. Brigham and children
were here from Arcadia, Okla., yes-
terday, and left at noon for Thacker-
ville, Okla., to visit her sister. Mrs.
W. S. Britt accompanied her to
Thackerville. Mrs. Brigham says Rev.
Brigham is taking an excellent re-
port from his churches to the confer-
ence, and his work at Arcadia and
Wheatland has been very pleasant.
He will probably be returned to those
charges.
—Noble Schools Doing Nobly: Prof.
E. D. Cornelius, principal of the
Noble schools, writes Co. Supt. Cl'ark
giving an account of some of the re-
cent activities of the pupils of those
schools—activities worthy of great
praise, indicating the loyalty and
true patriotism of that community.
Not only are they active in Red Cross
work, but this week the students of
the high school subscribed for four
$50 Liberty bonds, for which they
have paid by picking cotton. Two of
the bonds have been donated by the
classes to the high school to pur-
chase desirable equipment.
j —Mr. E. B. Johnson returned yes-
terday from his ranches in the Pan-
I handle, bringing over 1,200 white-
faced cattle to feed on his ranch near
| Lindsay. He says pasture is getting
j very short, and he finds it difficult
I to get enough to keep his large herds
1 in anything like good shape. His son
Graham, has left the university for
this year, as Mr. Johnson needs his
services in looking after his large in-
terests, both "Hap" and Neil being in
the army.
—Ralph C. Hardie was much pleas-
ed yesterday by receipt of a letter
from one of his old students in Nor-
man high school, who is "making
good" in the army. He is Charlie
Mayes, brother of Miss Madge Mayes
and Edgar J. Mayes, and is now a
lieutenant in the National army, sta-
tioned at Fort Funston in Kansas.
He gradauaated from Norman high
in 1911. He writes that he is well
pleased with army life and expects to
go to France.

About Coal Prices
There was a publication in Tues-
ay's Transcript perporting to quote
prices from the coal dealers of Nor-
man. I knew nothing of it, till I saw
it Wednesday night. There has not
been any raise in the price of coal at
the Oklahoma mines.
Briar Creek, Lehigh Coal is $4.25
plus $1.05 plus $1.50 equal $6.80 at
the dealers yard. In the patron's bin
$6.80 plus 50c equals $7.30.
I think the above is the price fixed
by the fuel department. If you have
got cash to buy coal, please see me;
if you want to buy on a credit don't
waste your time to see me.
If the citizens of Norman and sur-
rounding country patronize me, I am
"a dealer." Let them answer the ques-
tion whether or not I am "a dealer."
Come on with your cash. I will sell
you the coal right.

—The funeral services of young
Robert Sadler, held at the residence
on Wenesday afternoon, were largely
attended, many business men indi-
cating their esteem for the young
I man and respect for his parents by
being present. The casket was buried
in a profusion of beautiful flowers,
to which many of the young man's
companions contributed. The body was
shipped to Sadler, Texas, last night,
accompanied by the family.
—Brooks for Govrnor: Today's Ok-
i lahoman springs a political story to
the effect that President Stratton D.
j Brooks will be a candidate for the
j Democratic nomination for Governor,
land that he will hare the support of
j Governor Williams and all the admin-
istration forces. President Brooks is
I at present Food Commissioner of the
State of Oklahoma in connection with
his duties as president of the Univer-
sity, and is active in other lines of
work in connection with the war.
That he would make a fine governor
possessing great executive ability and
immense power of organization is un-
disputed, but the- Transcript doubts
whether he can be inveigled into the
political game. He disclaims any am-
bition to be governor and said last
evening:
"That is the last thing I'd be think-
ing about. I'm trying to carry on a
great work just now which I feel
would be handicapped if it were mix-
ed with politics. The chief essential
for building up a great university is
to keep it free from politics. When I
accepted the presidency of the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma, it was the dis-
tinct understanding that it was to be
kept so. I think we have succeeded
so far, as the results will show. The
same may be said as to the success of
the food campaign."
