GOV. ROBERTSON
APPROVES CHARTER
CITY OF NORMAN
>
Judge J. B. Grigsby, city attor-
ney, is in receipt of the approval
of Gov. Robertson to the new
charter of the City of Norman, i
under date of July 11, 1919, and |
accompanied by the following let-
ter:
Okla City., July 12, 1919.
Hon. J. D. Grigsby,
City Attorney,
Norman, Okla.
Dear Judge—I am returning
herewith the proposed charter of
the City of Norman with my ap- !
proval thereon. I have attached (
the original letter of the at-
torney General, who has ex- j
amined the document and who ad i
vises that it is regular as to form 1
and complies to the constitutionalj
and statutory law of this state.
Respectfully,
J. B. A. ROBERTSON, j
, Governor, j
Thus, the preliminary steps for j
putting the new city government'
in operation have all been taken, j
and it now remains for the Mayor j
to call the primary for the nomin-
ation of the commissioners and ]
treasurer. The charter provides i
that this primary shall be held on
the fourth Tuesday after the ap- j
proval of the Governor, which will j
make it the 5th of August. It j
then provides that the election
shall be held the fourth Tuesday
after the primary, which will
make it Tuesday, Sept. 2nd. It
now behooves us to select the very
best men we have in the city for
the five commissioners.
Birthday Party • •
Mrs. John A. Fox conceived the
idea on Sunday, July 13, 1919, of
giving her better half a surprise
birthday party, that date being
the 69th year of his age, and noti-
fied the children and a few friends
to be there. A splendid chicken
dinner was one of t'na chief fea-
tures of the occasion and all had
a happy time. Those present were
Mr. and Mrs. Claude Summers
and children, Mr. and Mrs. L. D.
Helms and children, Ollie Jones,
Dick Hill, Fred Osterhaus,"Dutch"
Miller and Lawrence Leoffler. The
guest of honor was the recipient
of numerous congratulations.
important baptist
meeting nashville
The most important financial
gathering in the history of South-
ern Baptists will convene Tuesday
in Nashville, Tenn. This is the
meeting of the $75,000,000 Cam-
paign Committee. They propose
to raise this amount in five years.
This money is to be divided among
the denomination's different lines
of activity such as missions, edu-
cation, hospitals, orphan homes,'
and aged ministers' relief. Okla-1
homa will be represented by Dr. F.
M. McConnell and Rev. C. P. Stel- j
ey, of Oklahoma City, and Rev. W. j
W. Chancellor of McAlester.

highest price ever made in the
history of contract trading. In the
early part of the week the contin-
ued nains in the eastern belt were
the main buying influence, but

announcement of the lifting of the
blockade against Germany.

This week the main thing at first
will be the effect of open trading
with Germany. Opinion is divided
on its effects.
Weather conditions will be a fea-
ture of hardly secondary impor-
tance. The weekly reports Wed-
nesday probably will be regarded
among the most important of the
crop reviews this season.
The spot demand will be closely
watched, partly on account of the
situation in Germany and partly
because of the theory held in some
quarters that the buying of the
actual stuff will be stimulated on
the part of both English and do-
mestic spinners now that the com
petition of mills in the central
countries of Europe is to be felt
once more.

Downer-Foster
The marriage of Miss Ruth Fos-

A. Foster, and Mr. Pierce A
Downer, of Oklahoma City was
solemnized Sunday evening, July
13, 1919, at 6:00 o'clock, at the
home of the bride. Rev. G. J. Rous-
seau officiating. The bride's wed-
the Good Roads association, still j not attempt violations,
continue to kick about the bad
roads in Cleveland county, which
they say are about as rough and
bad as anywhere in the state, a^id
those of us who have had occa
sion to make the trip to Oklahoma
City in automobiles cannot but be
in agreement with them. The
Transcript believes, however, that
the evils are to be remedied and
that soon the roads will be dragged
and put into good shape. The
trouble has been that the county
had no money to do the dragging,
but the automobile tax will now be
coming in and other funds will be
available, so that the work can
be done.
In this connection the Trans-
cript desires to go on record as
favoring the utmost liberality in
appropriatitons for this purpose,
and believes it voices the senti-
ments of the whole community in
doing so. There may be a few
"mossbacks" who are afraid it
will cost them a few cents addi-
tional in increased taxes, but they
are few, and if they are listened
to in this or similar matters,
Norman and Cleveland county will
never get anywhere and always
be held up to the balance of the
state as a non-progressive com-
munity, just as they have in this
road matter. We could well have
afforded to spend several thou-
sand dollars additional on the
roads, rather than to have the un-
desirable advertising the bad roads
have given us. There is such a
thing as economy in all lines, but
penuriousness is not economy;
is, in fact, extravagance in the'
end. Let's have a good appropri-
ation for good roads, and the
Transcript is certain it will be
capably spent by the board of
county commissioners.

Evolution of Music
Music has come down through the centuries,
ever demanding for its inspiration and set'
ting, episodes of immortal significance.
World events, El Dorados of gold and
oil, have furnished in their mad scramble
the tragedy, love and comedy from which
our music is conceived. Glorious symphonies,
and operas are mirrored in perpetuity by
their ever fresh charm to remind us of
stirring times long dead.
Our more or less drab existence demands
that we familiarize ourselves with the best
that music has to offer. This can best be
accomplished by owning
2^new edison
"The Phonograph with a Soul"
which Re'Creates the greatest music with
a fidelity that is in every way true to the
original. A surprise is awaiting you that
will prove startling. Come to our store, at
your lirst opportunity, and let us unfold it
for you.
