A SCRAP OB1 PAPER
Only a little scrap of paper some
times does a good deal of harm
when thrown promiscously around.
Everyone who passes the park at ator
the depot or any other lawn in versity of Kentucky and is said to

Although the returning soldier |
boys are almost unanimous in I
their opposition to any parade in j
Oklahoma City or anywhere else,
Oklahoma City boosters are con-

! parade and grand celebration in
j that town upon the arrival of the j
j 142nd Infantry. The Oklahoman j
! cf Monday morning contains the
j following:

' "The messages were sent from j
| Philadelphia and told that five j
1 trains of 385 soldiers and ten of-
ficers each were on the way and
would be assembled for a parade
in Oklahoma City. Definite news j
of the arrival of the 111th ammu- j
nition train and the 133d machine

the messages, but Pentecost be-
lieves they will come at virtually

There was a representative
gathering of the citizenship of
Oklahoma at the University audi-
torium on Sunday morning, June
8th, the occasion being the Bacca
laureate exercises in connection
with the commencement exercises j
of the University of Oklahoma.
The day was a beautiful one, the |
weather being all that could be de- |
sired, the result being that the j
auditorium was well filled.
The processional of faculty, j
alumni and graduates was a very J
imposing and impressive one, con- j
sisting of more than 300 persons j
in cap and gown, and the exercises j
were impressive in their simplicity j
there being no especial effort to I
make them elaborate. They con- j
sisted of a the hymn, "Holy, holy, ■
holy, Lord God Almighty!" by the i
audience; scripture reading by I
Dean Buchanan ; solo, "My Re- j

music was especially pleasing, j
with Lewis Salter as accompanist, j
Rev. Abel, who is pastor of the
First M. E. Church of Tulsa, one j
of the largest and most influential
churches in Oklahoma, is regarded
as one of the ablest and most elo-
quent divines in the state, and the
Baccalaureate sermon fully sus- j
tained his reputation. His text ,
was from Acts 19:26, and his sub- |
ject was "The Man with Vision." ]
impressing upon the graduates j
and his hearers the necessity of
having "vision" for the great work1
of lile. recalling the great ones ol
the Earth who had had tha; Vision !
and luulj applied it. The greatest
quality any man and any woman j
could have, the one they must have j
to be successful in the right mean- ■
ing of that word, wis "moral pur-
ity," and he denounced the idea >
that there should be a double j
standard in dealing with those
guilty of impurity; one standard !
for men and another for women.
"Truth" was another quality that
must be maintained by the success-
ful man or woman. "Service" to |
| God and fellow-man, was impress-
j ed upon the' graduates, as the ;
| thought that should actuate
I them in their coming lives, for 1
i money alone would not make them
successful.
