GET YOUR CANDLE The Wise Men of The East
The town of Moore did not wait for
the campaign dates December 17 to 24
to stage its Christmas Red Cross
drive. The Red Cross leaders there
already have canvassed the town and
secured 27 Red Cross Christmas mem-
berships. This report was made by
Tom B. Matthews, manager of the
Cleveland county campaign, who an-
nounced his staff of workers for the
various towns of the county. Mrs.
Decker is in charge of the Moore
campaign, which will be continued
this week.
In Norman, J. M. Moomau is chair-
man of the first committee. Tom E.
Smith, second ward; S. K. McCall,
third ward; Prof. S. W. Reaves, uni-,
versity section ol' the third ward, and
Fred Reed, fourth ward. Mrs. Belva
Capshaw will handle the sanitarium
district.
Each of these chairrften will appoint
his own helpers and will thoroughly
canvas his district. Every man, womai
ana ch:!d will be given a chance to
join.
Mr. ElTenger will handle the cam-
paign at Noble, R. M. Evans, banker,
and Mrs. Edgar Keller at Lexington.
The list of workers for the country
precincts will be announced later.
If the campaign succeeds, says :i
Red Cross appeal, "The American Re 1
Cross on Christmas eve will turn a
15-million candle power beacon to
light the way to a permanent, right-
eous peace. You are responsible for
one candle, Cleveland county is re-
sponsible for 4,000.
JESS MYERS ARRESTED
No sooner out of one trouble than
into another one, seems to be the pre-
dicament of Comrade Jess Myers,
here on a visit from the soldiers'
home. A day or two ago mention was
made of his being run-in at the end of
a shotgun by H. F. Trull, for abusing
his wife, formerly Mrs. Lydia Myers,
now Mrs. Trull. He got out of that
trout']," by Ipiving tgwji, hut fcot n
further than Oklahoma City when he
was overhauled by Sheriff Wheelis
and arrested on complaint of Ira King
for obtaining money under false pre-
tenses. He is now in the Cleveland
county jail with chances of "going
over the road."
It seems that he sold Ira a piece of
property some years ago, just before
going to the soldiers' home, claiming
The following are the names of the children who will take
part in "The Community Christmas Tree" exercises:
What a gathering that will be,
To welcome the coming of the Christmas Tree;
They will sing their songs and give their praise,
And bring us back to Childhood Days.

$200, and Ira paid him $70 on account.
Afterwards, Mrs. Myers came in and
claimed the property and got it, leav-
ing Ira to hold the sack. Ira has laid
for him ever since, and when he read
in the Transcript that he was here
and of his experience with Mr. Trull,
he got busy with a warrant.

This Is Red Cross Week
B
know you are behind this—the greatest of all war re-
lief work. No other organization could do the great
work that is being done by this noble cause. Who can tell
they may give relief and help to your own blood. Before
this great war ends millions of American men and women
will be in this great strife; some of your own loved ones will
have to go; the Red Cross will help them when they need
help most—help them as no other one can. Get you a Red
Cross button tomorrow—you can join for as little as $1, but
be sure and give more if you can.
Come! Bring the Children to See Santa Claus
You will want to have your children see
the real live Santa Claus before the week
ends. Bring them down any afternoon
and let him take them up the chimney to
Toyland. Have them write Santa Claus a
letter telling why he should select his toys
from McCall's great stock. We are going
to give $10 for the ten best letters. Your
child may be one of the ten to receive a
dollar. It is not necessary to buy any-
thing—there is only one condition—the
child must not be more than ten years old.
Every Department In This Store Ready for Christmas
This week will be the greatest buying
week in the history of this store; we will
sell more marchandise than we have ever
sold in one week before. The reason is
we have the greatest stocks of holiday

year.
Come down and see these great stocks
tomorrow; come in the morning for you
can have better service than will be pos-
sible later in the day.

fers you wonderful values for your Christ-
mas dollars. Among them we call your
attention to these:

Ladies' Waists, Ladies' and Misses' Coats,

Misses' Suits, Gossard Corsets.
Come make the big store a visit tomor-
row. This week is the best time to do
your Christmas shopping.

"NAAMAN, THE LEPER"
There was an excellent audience at
the lecture given last night at the
Presbyterian church on "Syria" by
Princess Rahma Haider, and all were
greatly pleased with lecture and lec-
turer. Both the Princess and her
traveling companion, Miss Burgess,
have a pleasing personality, and the
address of the former and the sweet
songs of the latter were received with
! an intense interest. At the close of
the lecture a collection was taken up
that amounted to some $31.00, all of
! which goes to Syria to help relieve the
J sufferings of that people.
Tonight, at the same place (Presby-
terian church) Princess Haider and
j Miss Burgess will give a dramatization
of the story of the "Naaman, the
; I.aper." The scene of this bible story
was laid near Princess Haider's home
| in Syria, and will be true to the life
| in every particular. The costumes of
those taking part will be the same as
those of that day, and a number of
Norman young ladies will take part
in costume. The music will also be ap-
propriate to the drama; the music of
tfTe day of Naaman the Leper.
A silver offering will be asked from
all who attend; just what each feels
like giving. The entertainment will be
j "worth while" and the object is one
of the most appealing made to our
; people. ,
—The Red Cross society acknowl-
edges the receipt of $37.00 from the
Southgale school, district No. 21, Miss
Iona Alexander, teacher. The amount
was the proceeds of an entertainment
and box supper which was held re-
cently with Miss Alexander and Mes-
srs. Talbot and Hartbeck as commit-
tee.
—Mrs. J. J. Burke is visiting her
sister, Mrs. J. T. Ilighley, in Okalho
ma City today.
—Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Hodam left
today to visit friends at Corpus Chris
ti for a couple of months, and will sto]
at Camp Travis a day or two to visit
their son George, who is in the army

MR. MOORE'S CONDITION
Owing to his advanced age and his
corrersponding feeble condition, the
accident that happened to Mr. S. M.
Moore on Friday night when he fell
Hiriiile attempting to lift a bucket of
coal and dislocated his hip bone,
threatens to lay him up for quite a >
while. He was not resting as easy as 1
was hoped for yesterday, and a trained j
nurse was put in charge of him last !
night.
He was moved today to the home of J
his daughter, Mrs. C. T. Gorton, where !
he can be given better care, and the |
I. O. O. F. will do everything possi-
ble to give him every possible atten-
tion. Mr. Moore is over 80 years of
age, and few gentlemen in the city
are more highly respected. Regret at
the accident is universal, and every
hope expressed he will soon fully re-
cover.
