142nd Parades in City
Many Normanites are in Okla-
lahoma City today to see the sol-
diers of the 142nd parade and to
welcome them home. There are
a number of Cleveland county
boys in the 142nd, but the great
majority of them are from other
parts of the state, Oklahoma City
and Chandler men predominating.
Reports from Oklahoma City say
the parade was held, the soldier
boys to the number of 2000 parad-
ing several blocks through a mass
of cheering spectators who lined
the streets the whole route. At
1:30 the boys were to entrain and
continue their journey to Camp
Bowie.

Mrs. Stella Bayless was in coun-

pretenses, in selling stock in an
oil company that had no 'existence
or whose stock was worthless.
She pleaded not guilty and the
case was set down for trial on

Beautifying a city does not
consist alone of new things that
are made. If a house is newly
painted, with all the fancy colors
, that might be borrowed from the
I shades of the rainbow; and then
just behind that newly painted
house there stands an old worn
' out barn and cow shed, the eye
! would see the shed and barn first.
I If a beautiful row of trees are
' growing in front of your home,
! and there is a single dead tree in
I the row, the eye sees the dead tree
first.
I Cut down all dead trees and
burn them up. Tear down all the
old shacks in town, and a wonder-
ful change will appear. Trans-
5 form our city from the appearance
I of a dead city to a real live breath-

j ing that which is no longer useful
or ornamental.

Miss Elizabeth Gillette presided
over the guest book, in which the
guests to the number of seventy
or more subscribed their names.
The bridal gifts, which were very
numerous and beautiful, were dis-
played in this room. They con-
sisted of many useful and beauti-
ful articles of silver, cut glass,
linen, aluminum, rugs, etc., in-
dicative of the love and respect
in which the young couple are re-
garded by their friends. Brick
ice cream with pink heart in the
center and white cake with pink
hearts were the refreshments and
was served by Mrs. J. A. Ramsey.
Mrs. C. E. Decker, Mrs. T. O.
Westhafer, Mrs. Raymond Court-
right, Misses Carrie Staggs, Maud
Walker, Deborah Haines and Eliz-
abeth Gillette.
The out-of-town guests were j
Mrs. Geo. Sanford and daughters, j
Misses Eloise and Catherine, of |
Dallas, Texas; Mr. and Mrs. Guy
Keiger and Mrs. Laura Story, of
Hobart, Oklahoma; Mrs. J. B.
Thoburn and daughter, Miss
Jeanne, of Oklahoma City; Mrs.
T. O. Westhafer, of Pueblo, Colo-
rado; Miss Deborah Haines of
Chickasha, Miss Elizabeth Gil-
lette of Sapulpa and Hon. Wilburn
Cartwright of Coalgate.
The young couple left on the
5anta Fe Wednesday evening on
a short wedding trip, and will be
at home to their friends in Ok-
lahoma City after July 1st. Mrs.
Black's going-away gown was
blue, with white hat and a cor-
sage bouquet of sweet peas.

It was a jolly crowd of Rotar-
' inns that assembled in the Metho-
| dis^ church banquet rooms at 8
1 o'clock on Wednesday night, and
| it was 11 o'clock before the meet-
ing adjourned. The time was
; most pleasantly spent by the 100
1 or more "diners," in good speeches
| good singing, good eats and a gcn-
I eral good social time. Twenty or
I more prominent business men of
' Oklahoma City were the guests of
I the Norman club, coming down on
I the 7 o'clock interurban and be-
ing given an automobile ride over
the city prior to the banquet. All
\expressed themselves as highly
delighted with our little city, and
especially with the delightful and
'peppy' entertainment given them.
An especial pleasing feature of
the meeting were a number of so-
los by Joe Benton, and the typical
and topical songs sang in unison
of the members, led by Ralph C.
Hardie and Rev. Ted Aszman.
President R. V. Downing presided
j in his usual happy manner.
j The especial occasion for the
! banquet and meeting was the pre-
j sentation to the Norman club of
j its charter from International
j Rotary, which was made by Mr.
i Jack Owens of Oklahoma City, as
! representative of the district
1 president, Mr. Hi Martin of St.
1 Louis. Mr. Owens made a splen-
i did address, telling of the splen-
j did work of Rotary wherever it
had been established. He pointed
j out that Oklahoma City's charter
was numbered 23, and that Nor-
I man's was 470, indicating the
! growth of Rotary. The presenta-
j tion speech was responded to by
Dr. Stratton D. Brooks, of the
j University, in a most witty and
i appropriate manner.
| A number of excellent talks
' were made by the Oklahoma City
men, an especially brilliant, clever
and pleasing one being by Dr.
Collins of that city. The balance
of the time was spent in telling
stories, singing songs and a jolly
good time. Everyone present en-
1 joyed himself to the top notch,
and when the meeting was closed
j at 11 o'clock by singing "God Be
' With You till We Meet Again" it
| was certainly hoped that it would
i not be long before that time came.

sisted in the initiation of thirty-
five candidates into the mysteries
of Yeoman. She returned Thurs-
day morning.
EXAGGERATED
A rumor that later reports in-
dicated was somewhat exaggerat.
ed came from Oklahoma City this
morning: It was that a soldier
had been stabbed and killed by a
negro and that the negro in turn
had been lynched by the soldiers,
and that the soldiers had twenty-
five more negroes correled and
were going to kill them, and that
the affair had got beyond the con-
trol of the civil authorities and
hades was to pay generally. The
truth is that a negro porter of one
of the undesirable rooming houses
on West Grand stabbed a soldier
named Mitchell, from Texas, in a
dispute over money which the
negro said was due him for whis-
ky furnished Mitchell and his
comrades, and during the quarrel
the negro stabbed the soldier, who
was rushed to the hospital and is
recovering. The negro was spirit-
ed away by the officers to keep
him from being lynched and the
excitement soon died down. The
affray occurred about 4:30 a. m.
Thursday morning and by daylight
all trace of any excitement over
it had disappeared.

} The Transcript learns that Mr.
j S. D. Morgan has purchased the
| Mrs. E. Manire brick building on
j West Main, and the M. M. Furray
building on the corner east of it,
| paying $6,000 for the two. He
! will remodel them and occupy
I them both with his furniture and
j second-hand business.
It is also learned that J. D. Piet-
! son and G. Walcher have pur-
| chased the Wallace corner now
! occupied by the Hopper tinsbop,
and propose to wreck the concrete
| building occupied by the Ideal
Laundry, using the material in the
j erection of a two story 50x100
foot building upon the Wallace
. lots. There has been considerable
I controversy about the laundry in
its present location , and if the
I building is moved off the Presby-
terians should buy the lot, as
! probably they will.
Both the Morgan and Pierson
locations are good ones and well
worth owning.
