Patricia and Bob "Trade Shopping"
Duties*--Get Appropriate Presents
NORMAN. OKLAHOMA. SUNDAY, DECEMBER ?l, loi*?
PRICE FIVE CENTS
And With Christma s A1
most Here Time Can-
not Be Wasted
"Bob, give me some advice about
tobacco. What are the best cigars,
cigarettes and so on?" I enquired
the other night.
My fiancee held up his hands in
holy horror. "Patricia, you of all
people—are you preparing to turn,
femenist and take up with Lady
Nicotine?"
''Well, it is being done," I tease l j
"but that wasn't my idea in asking.
I have some odds and ends of shop-
ping to do tomorrow and one of
them is to buy tobacco for my grand-
father and Uncle Jim and I don't
want them to have to give it to the
janitor to get rid of it."
They Make a Trade.
"Listen, Patricit, I'll make a trade
with you," said Bob, "I'll select you
some tobacco for a regular he-man
at Reed and Foster's; they have it—
La Superia, Camel cigarettes and
Prince Albert, if you will find me
something for my mother and the
sisters."
, "It's a trade," I said enthusiasti-
cally.
Before I got to town the next day
1 met Mr. Thomas of the Carey,
Lombard Lumber company and he
told me a story of a-splendid pres-
ent that a Norman man is giving
his family. It is the plan of a new
house which they helped him with.
He has the lumber already bought
and it is to be built on the site
bought from Giles-Wicr real estate
firm.
A Firesighted Present.
His telling that reminded me of
another sensible present which one
of the men in Dad's office is making
his family.; He has never been able
to save much and is always a little
worried about what will happen to
his brood when he is gone. He is
taking out a Minnesota Mutual Life
Insurance policy this year with H. L.
Muldrow and he says that it will be
the happiest Christmas ever for them
all.
The first thing 1 did at town was
to stop at U. S. Tubb's grocery and
order some nuts sent home for can-
dy-making. They have a large var-
iety of fresh nuts, and the person
who doesn't make at least part of the
tiri tin candies at home misses a
lot, I think.
i-or Bob's Folks.
But, 1 was going to tell about
Bob's shopping, wasn't 1? For his
mother 1 selected a good looking
pair of dull kid'dress shoes at Ruck-
er's. No womari ever has enough
shoes and if she did they are a prac-
tical present for the styles can't
change by government regulation.
Rucker's have the "arch fit" and it
is comfortable even in a high heel
model.
1 found such 7 sweet pink and blue |
bath robe for Bob's littlest sister at
Berry's. I went to McCall's for some
white beaded buckles for the other
sister. Buckles arc such a fad now
and the white arc especially good
with black patent pumps.
Useful Family Gifts.
F'or the family Bob wanted some-
thing unusually appropriate so I ran
into Minteer's Hardware store for a
few minutes and, after looking over
their Community silverware I soon
decidcd upon what I would want if
I were "the family." So I purchased
a cold meat fork and a soup la-Be.
Then I noticed some of their good
looking casseroles and I know that
Bob's father is so often late to din-
ner and his mether is always worry-
I ing because the food gets cold—so I
included a casserole among my pur-
chases.

WALTER VICARS BUYS
HILL GROCERY
Walter Vicars, who recently sold
his grocery store in the Stuhbeman
j building to R. F. Whitwell, has al-
| ready re-engaged in business, having
purchased the stock of groceries
I owned by Hill & Sons in the stone
building on East Main formerly oc-
cupied by W. J. McKinney. During
his four years connection with the
Vicars' grocery, Walter secured a
wide acquaintance in and around
Norman and will undoubtedly enjoy
a good patronage at his new stand.
He will add materially to the stock
and purposes making his store one of
the most complete small grocery
stores in the city.

Chapter meeting Monday, Dec. 22, at

J. L. RADER, Secretary.
HAVE YOU BOUGHT IT?
Only a few short days remain dur-
ing which to provide that Real
Christmas present I have been tell-
ing you about.
Do you know that life insurance is
the only great necessity which has
not advanced in price?
Insurance is not a luxury—it is a
real necessity! Insurance is an es-
tate bought and paid for on the in-
stallment plan but is the only estate
in existence immediately created by
the first installment paid.
If you deposit $30.00 in savings ac-
count or building and loan associa-
tion and die, your heirs have $30.00
plus a little interest earnings. If you
pay $30,00, more or less, according
to your age, as an initial payment or
premium upon a policy of insur-
ance and die, your beneficiary receiv-
es $1000.00.
Can you beat it?
If you have a home worth $5,000.
more or less, you would not sleep at
night until it was covered with insur-
ance against firt and storm, would
you? The fire or storm may not
come. There are only seven fire
losses out of one hundred policies
written, but you provide against your
house being one of that seven. You
have paid fire premiums all your life.
Did you ever have a loss You keep
ttp that insurance because it is a
"good business. The greatest as-
set you have is your life. Death is
sure to come—may come with the
next breath you draw. Is it not
good business" to save the insurable [
value your loved ones have in the
"house of your life," against the "fire
or storm of death," which is inevit-
able?
Let me show you how you can
create an immediate monthly income
for life for the wife or child who may
soon be your widow or orphan and
make them that Real Christmas pres-
ent I have been telling you abput.
Some have bought. Have you?
Do it today. See Muldrow or Hess.
Tomorrow does not come. Now is
here.
The Minnesota Mutual is your local
representative and the Best.

Mrs. Housewife:
Of course you have been planning
that Yuletide dinner for a long time
but with Christmas here in a ^few
days you'll have to decide definitely
upon what you are going to place «>ti
the table Thursday noon and also you
should order everything you want
Monday so that you may be sure of
having it.
We realize how difficult it is for the
housewife to remember all the thing-
she will want while preparing the din-
ner of dinners—so we are helping her
to decide by preparing baskets ui* i
chuck full of everything she can pos-
sibly need. We have them at 45c, V
and 65c.
We are prepared to anticipate every
cooking need.
Of course there must be a Chri. t-
"mas tree—and its best to have a real
pine—it's less inflammable than ced.t.
We have small ones that are just the
right size for the center of that Christ-
mas dinner table. Pine Christmas
trees, 60c, 80c, and $1.
And we will add a metal holder for
onlv fortv cents.
