The recent bulletin of the Nor-J Norman Wholesale Grocery Com

the folowing sensible suggestions:
Do you let people know
through advertising of the quality
and price of the goods you are
selling? It is said mail order
houses set apart seven to ten per
cent of their sales for advertising.
How much do you spend in your
effort to meet this advertising
competition?

To this end, at their meeting on

Chas. S. Standley returned on

visited his father, Prof. M. L.
Standley, and attended the wed-
ding of his sister, Miss Jimmie,
which was solemnized on Sunday,

Arthur H. Gallup, who is connect-

It was pointed out by some of
the speakers that Norman had in
past seasqns, whether justly or
unjustly, been getting a bad rep-
utation over the county as a pool
market—that other towns were
paying more than Norman, and
thereby drawing business from
Norman's trade territory. The
Retailers association hopes to
remedy this matter, if such dis-
criminations have been made, and
assure the farming community
that they will be given a square
deal.

HER7'S A DILEMMA.
Suppose you were cast adrift 011
a tropical island, the only white
man that had every tread its soil;
and even before you had an oppor-
tunity to throw off your "sea
legs you were aproached by a
beautiful native princess daught-
er of the Majah, who made desper
ate love to you —kissed and cares-
sed yo; "mothered" you, as it
were; passionately disclosed the
yearning of her heart that you be-
come her husband and ultimate
ruler of her people. Would you
marry her? That is the situation
confronting the leading man in "A
Woman there Was," the William
I'ox super-production starring
1 heda Bara, which opens at the
Liberty Friday and Saturday.
dirt roads, well oiled, would be
really better for this section than
hard surfaced roads. This com-
mittee will report at the next
meeting and will also act in con-
junction with the Chamber of
Commerce committee on roads to
see if some plan cannot be devised
to get better roads east of Nor-
man and make a stronger bid for )
the trade of that territory than
has yet been made.
The luncheon was given at the
Sooner Confectionery which is
now under the management of Mr.
J. W. Songster, who has made
numerous improvements and
and republican leader of the sen-
ate.
Twenty republicans, it was de-
clared, would be enough with the
administration democrats, to make
up the two thirds necessary for
ratification. The program 011
which it is sought to unite these
lements cottfemplati# reserva-
tions to further protect the Mon-
roe doctrine to insure domestic
control over domestic questions;
to amplify the right of withdraw-
al. and fortify tile power of con-
gress to decide questions of peace
or war under article ten.
Action is Demanded.
It was declared that the infor-
mation that democrats were in a
receptive mood toward such pro-
posals did not come from Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska, the
administration leader, but from a
source considered entirely au-
thorative. The Nebraska senator
himself denied that he had taken
part in any such negotiations and
said his advocacy of unreserved
ratification remained unaltered.
Mr. Lodge also denied that he had
given assent to tile proposed reser-
vations.
Meantime, however, at a meeting
of the foreign relations committee,
Senator Hitchcock gave notice
that unless the comittee complet-
ed without undue delay, its con-
sideration of the treaty, some in-
dependent action might be expect-
ed 011 the floor of the senate. I11
the suggestion for speedy action
( hairman Lodge concurred, and
the upshot of a heated discussion
was an announcement that th< I
committee would begin tomorrow |
the consideration of proposed j
amendments
lub hopes to break the jinx
that has followed his bunch ever
since the opening of the series.
By a score of 10 to > the Pirates
took the game on Wednesday eve-
ning from the Dodgers and are
now leading the bunch by a small j
margin. The game was a good I
one, and was not decided until the '
very last run of the very last in-
ning. In fact, all the games are
being fought for vigorously, and
as much interest is being taken 111
them as in the league games. The
Dodgers fought doggedly for
Wednesday evening's game, and
it looked as if they had it at the
close of their half of the last in-
ning, the score being 9 to 7 in j
their favor, but the Pirates took a
batting rally in their half of the
inning, and made three runs, giv-
ing them the game.
Go out to the city park ground
