LOOK TOWARDS NORMAN
People Know that It is (he Most De-
sirable l'lace of Residence in
the State of Oklahoma.
Serg. Fred Tarman
Will Return Soon
There is every indication that there
is going to be a great influx of desir-
able citizens into Norman and Cleve-
land county during the coming year.
Indeed, it promises to be the most
prosperous year in her history, with
more building of homes than in any
former years, and a greater demand
for homes. It therefore behooves us
all to get ready to take care of these
desirable citizens.
They are coming because Norman
offers them greater advantages in
the way of fine public scshools, pleas-
ing surroundings and desirable envir-
onment. They are coming because
Norman is the seat of the University
of Oklahoma, the best college in the
Southwest. They art coming because
Norman is one of the healthiest and
cleanest little cities in Oklahoma.
They are coming because our "Univer-
sity City" is only eighteen miles south
of the metropolis of the state and the
capital thereof, and joined thereto
with bands of steel via Interu'rban and
Santa Fe. They are coming because
Norman has the best water in the
state in inexhaustible quantities, has
miles of paved streets, has splendid
sanitary^ sewerage, has the best of
electric lights and a telephone com-
pany giving excellent service. They
are eoming bcause Norman has splen-
did churches with able ministers and
a religious environment second to no
city in the country. They are cooling
beacuse the social, educational and
moral morale of our citizens is of the
best and because our people are of
that cultured and intelligent class who
make the best neighbors. They are
coming because in every way Nor-
man offers them greater advantages
Sergeant Fred E. Tarman, who has
been attached to the department in-
telligence office at Fort Sam Houston,
! Texas, has been discharged from the
;irmy and will return to Norman some
time this week. He will eventually
resume his position in the school of
! journalism at the university, from
which he has been absent since last
May.
During his service in the corps of
intelligence police, Sergeant Tarman
investigated many cases of desertion,
disloyalty and pro-Germanism in and
about San Antonio. In one case,
which he handled exclusively, his
[work resulted in the internment of an
Austrian alien.
j Mrs. Tarman, who has been with
j her husband in San Antonio, will re-
jturn with him to Oklahoma City,
where they will spend a few days be-
jfore coming to Norman.

for home-building than any other city
in Oklahoma.
These are only a few of the rea-
sons they are coming, and dozens of
others could be enumerated,—but the
fact remains that they are coming.
Are we getting ready for them?
They will want homes; either want
to buy homes already built (and
many of them will think that prefera-
jble), or buy lots and build. Our peo-
j pie ought to get busy and supply this
! demand; ought to interest outside
! capital if possible and organize a
construction campaign.
j Our own people should especially
'own their own homes, and if they
do not do so now they should at once
take steps to that end. This will
leave numerous houses for sale or
rent to the newcomers. And, too, the
old houses should be remodeled into
modern homes of the best character.
Norman is a pretty town with pretty
homes, and every home should be a
pretty one, with trees, shrubbery, lawn
and other desirable environments.
Think on these things. Let us get

ity will be taken up and discussed.
The lust una paramount matter
is the bringing ot gas to Norman..
A number of prominent men of the
city have been discussing the ijues-
tion and probably will be in a posi-
tion, to tell the meeting what can be
done. Now that the Oklahoma City
Natural Gas company is putting in
the line from Cement, Okla., that
conies within a few miles of Norman,
it gives us a splendid opportunity to
bring it to the University City. It is
a matter of supreme importance to
the "University City," adding, as it
would, an enterprise and improvement
that would be of the greatest advan-
tage.
Then the matter of securing a land-
jing place for the airoplanes that will
| be placed in the postal service will
be discussed. Of course, Norman
must be in line with other towns in
this aerial mail service and will do

At nine o'clock this morning the
case was outlined to the jury by J.
B. Dudley for the prosecution and Ben
Williams for the defense.
The contention of the prosecuion
tal combat, and had armed himself
seems to be that Dunn invited a mor-
for such an encounter, and that upon
the day of hte affray (March 27,
1917) had gone to where Walter
Welch was working, prepared to
"shoot it out" with him. It is also
claimed by the prosecution that the
two shots that struck Welch
Dunn's automatic, bcth struck him in
the back, indicating Welch was endea
vocate. The following are to be
some of his chief recommendations:
Thirty million dollar bond issue for
permanent road construction. This
will bp a gigantic road construction
scheme to build good roads in every
part of the state, the work to be un-
der the management of the returning
soldiers.
Fewer subjects and more practical
education in common schools.
