Three Norman Boys Chamber-Commerce
Meet in Paris Monday Night, 27.
In a letter to H. H. Bradley,
Tom B. Matthews writes of an in-
teresting experience he had re-
cently in Paris. He says he was
walking down one of the boule-
vards in Paris when he saw a fine
looking officer approaching,
swinging up the street with a vim
and energy and stride that made
him noticable. He thought there
was something familiar about him,
and as he came closer, lo and be-
hold, it was Capt. Carl Giles. It
way be imagined what a great
and g-l-o-r-i-o-u-s feeling swept
over them.
And then, as they stood and
talked, they noticed an airoplane
hovering over them as if seeking
a place to light. It came down not
far from where they stood, and
t^icy went over to it, and lo and
Whold again, the aviator was Hu-
bert Ambrister, another Norman
boy Well, well, well—can you im-
agine how they felt, and how they
hugged each other, and talked of
• klahoma and Norman, and all
the rest of it? Tom says they
spent the balance of the day in
Paris and sure had a good time.
Norman business men and citi-
zens should not forget the
Chamber of Commerce meeting at
the city hall on Monday night. It
will convene at 7:30, and is for
the purpose of perfecting the or-
ganization and adopting the con-
stitution and bylaws. It is hoped
there will be a large attendance.
Come yourself, Mr. Business Man,
and bring your neighbor with you.

A Lowenberg Echo: An echo
of tliL activities of Gib Lowenberg
was noticed at the court house
this morning, Deputy Sheriff Ben
Glay had a force of men at work
kittling in the remnants of the
Lowenberg stock and fixtures
from the canteen and storing
them in his office. They consist
of a mass of stuff, some fairly
good and will be held pending
trial of the Minnetonka Lumber
eomoany's case against Lowen-
berg. The stock and fixtures were
taken under an attachment.
W. Y. Morgan writes from
France that the American soldiers
along his sector—his letter dated
from Sampigny-on-the-Meuse,
soutl^ of St. Miheil—are not mar-
rying French girls. The French
peasant girls are not good mixers,
he says. But speaking of matri-
mony, Mr. Morgan tells of an in-
teresting view presented by one of
the boys. The boy was laughing
to himself, and Mr. Morgan asked
why he was so happy. "Well,"
he skid, "you know our Argonne
| fight. I have a girl at home and
I we are going to get married, 'tout
| sweet,' if I can have my
when I get back. I was just
thinking of that and how in
! about ten of twelve years
we would have a couple of
children old enough to listen to my
stories. I'd tell them how their
dad went through that hell, and if
they didn't cry at the hard time I
had had, I would spank them good
and plenty."
Clyde Pickard has purchased the
J. B. Smith property on the corner
•f Symmes and South Peters, for-
merly owned by Mrs. W. W. Win-
4 gate. A farm near Noble figured
in the deal.
A. E. Thomas, of the Carey,
Lombard, Young & Company, was
called to Lone Wolf on Tuesday
by the news of the death of his
uncie, Asa Thomas, who died
Monday evening, January 20th,
after a lingering illness. The fun-
eral was held on Wednesday. The
deceased gentleman was well and
most favorably known in Norman.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
2 gnat ador-U thrilling stoiy
William Fox presents
'' t . w*,
The War Department has made
a ruling that soldiers discharged
from the army may still stay in
the service at their regular sal-
aries until assured of employment
elsewhere. A dispatch from Fort
| Worth, Texas gives the ruling
which is the same at all the camps.
It says:
Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 23.—
Soldiers ordered discharged and
unable to secure employment will
Vi; permitted to remain in the mili-
tary service until they think they
can secure employment. Col. W
L. Reed, commanding officer at
Camp Bowie, received a telegram
from the War Department Wed-
nesday ordering that all men ord-
ered discharged be given a chance
to remain in the military service
j as long as they desire. The tele-
gram follows:
"Commanding officers will take
steps to insure that every enlisted
, man in their command under-
j stands thoroughly that the War
' Department does not desire to dis-
i charge any soldier who can not
I secure civil employment. It will
I be made clear to every soldier
that, instead of being discharged
as he would be formerly under or- j
ders for demobilization, upon his !
own written request he may re- (
main temporarily in the military
service until such time as he can
secure employment. The fact that
he requests to remain in the army
temporarily does not in any way
operate te compel him to remain
in the army for a longer period of
time against his will. Any man
who would normally have been dis-
cha?>ged had he.not expressed.his
desire in writing to remain in the
service may hereafter be dis-
charged from the service at his
own request whenever he thinks he
may secure employment. All men
who are retained temporarily un-
der this authority will be attached
to the most convenient unit."
Colonel Reed has given orders
that men retained under these in-
structions will not be reduced in
grade.
J. H. Johnson spoke at the "Y" i
last night on "The War's Lesson
to Business." Out of years of ex-
perience with big business and the
variety of methods it follows, Mr.
Johnson was able to speak with
definiteness.
He pointed cut that courage and
truth are the modern essentials to
business success. "Had it not
been for Germany's 'scrap of pa-
per' ideas," said Mr. Johnson,
"the war would never have become
a world war. Otherwise the war
would have likely been localized to
the continent."
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fra-
ternity entertained Mr. Johnson
and Secretary Phelps at six o'clock
dinner. The organization showed
the visitors delightful evidence of
its well-known pep.
Special Notice
German Offenses
Mrs. DeBarr will be pleased to
have those who had charge of the
resolutions pertaining to the of-
fenses against the women of the
Allies, to take them to the church-
es again tomorrow for additional
signers and then return them eith-
er to her home or to the Red Cross
headquarters, not later than Mon-
day morning, as they must be
mailed from here not later than
Monday afternoon.
A marriage license was issued
on Friday to Oren Wilson, 22, and
Miss Emma Thorn, both jf Moore.
When did the old court house
burn? Do you remember? To
clear up ?i legal master at the
court house on Saturday morning,
they had to ascertain when Chat
building was destroyed, and htd
to hunt all through the record*
before they could fix the date. It
burned on February 6. 1004, and
the present criurt house was built
in 1905 The old structure stood
in the r.quare now occupied by the
high school taildiag. anr'l it caught
fire one night, in the middle of the
night, and was totally destroyed
with many of the records. It w s
generally believed it was set on
fire. It was an old stucco bnildiffg.
and a regular fire trap.

Opportunity
Opportunity knocks at every
man's door but oncc.
The Irishman said: "When op-
portunity knocked at my door,
Faith, and I was not at home."
We hope that it won't be that
way with the people of Norman.
Do not let opportunity escape. And
where is opportunity, some one
may ask.
Norman has opportunity knock-
ing at the door loud and clear—
by having the gift of the Sta-e
University located here, and where
j thousands of the brightest young
people of the state will see, and
are seeing Norman; and the op-
portunity, the golden opportunity,
is thrust upon us as citizens of
Norman, of filling the minds of
these young people with good gifts
in a rich treasure of knowledge
not printed in books; the know-
ledge to be gained by observation
of what they see around your door
as well as mine. These young
people are students learning the
lessons of life and the city of
Norman is their teacher. They arc
going away from the University
City, with impressions formed that
will be lasting as time. What kind
of seed are we sowing?
Opportunity! Opportunity!!
j Let it not pass without grasping
and holding on to the privilege
gained by the gift of the State
University.
The members of the State Legis-
lature are coming to see us, and
size us up. What have we to
show them besides what the peo-
ple of the state already own?
We suggest that the entertain-
ment committee do not let these
inspectors see our mud road lead-
ing out to the State Hospital. Pull
down the blinds when they pass
over this street. These men who
are coming are not ordinary men
like the rest of us. They are
hand-picked, dusted off and assort-
ed.
Take them out to the state hos-
pital after night and keep them
frcrr seeing our mud boulevard. It
is our opportunity to keep quiet
about some things that we should
have.
THE CIVIC COMMITTEE.
Local and Personal
j Rev. L. H. Havill went to Lind-
j say today to hold Sunday services.
PRICK FIVE CENTS.
Mayor S. W. Hutchin
Will Be Candidate
: Mrs. Kemper Kimberlin left to-
I day to visit her farm near Mays-
ville.

and Mrs H. P. Allen are the
guests of Oklahoma City friends
today.
The Transcript learns that May-
or S. W. Hutchin will be a candi-
date for renomination at the com-
ing city primaries, subject to the
decision of the Democratic voters.
He will run on the record he has
made the past two years, a rec-
ord that speaks for itself as an
enforcement of law administration
and one of business policies.
Earl Sellers is here from Pied-
mont, Okla., visiting his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Homer Sellers. He
is now manager of the Gloyd lum-
ber yard at Piedmont, and making
good in every particular.
Married: The marriage of John
J Tracey, 21 and Miss Eva Davis,
20, both of Oklahoma City, was
solemnized at the court house on
Friday, Jan. 24, 1919, with Judge
George Allen officiating.
Rev H. Jeske officiated at the
wedding of Ed Sammetinger and
Miss Katherine Kehr at his home
on January 22nd. The groom form-
erly resided in this county, but is
now a resident of Oklahoma City.
Mrs. Florence Possey has filed
suit in district court asking a di-
vorce from her husband, A. C. Pos-
sey, who lives in Oklahoma City.
They were married, she says, on
November 29, 1918, and lived to- '
gether only three days, when he
made her a proposal that she take
her three grown daughters and go
to Oklahoma City and open a
rooming house. She left him at
once as a man unfit to live with,
and asks that her former name be
restored to h'.>r
J. R Caskey has filed suit for
divorce from Mrs. Ruth Caskey to
whom he was married on Oct. 30,
1918. He sets forth in his peti-
tion that soon after the marriage
the wife voiced her displeasure of
conditions by saying that she
wished to God she had never seen
him, and went around among the
neighbors knocking him. Finally
she got up and left him, going to
her daughters in Kansas. Mr.
I Caskey says the great humiliation
she caused him has injured his
health and he wants a divorce on
the grounds of extreme cruelty
and gross neglect of duty. Judge
Grigsby is his attorney.
