LARGEST PAPER EVER
PRINTED IN NORMAN
enough advertising left
out to have printed
four more pages.
Kansas Is Defeated
By Sooner Debaters
Yesterday's issue of the Daily-
Transcript contained more ines ot
display advertising than any other
single issues of a paper printed in
Norman.
It was -., ji. largest issue ever print
ill Norman. Twelve pages ot
seven columns wide and twenty-two
inches deep ga%> this issue of the pa
per 1,848 inches of total space.
Norman merchants have awaken-
ed the value of newspaper advertis-
ing and are demanding more and
more space in which to tell of their
wares and bargains which they of-
fer. Daily they insist on an opport>u
nity to tell of their business to Nor
man and Cleveland county citizens
Auto Dealers in Appeal.
Dealers in automobiles, tires and
other accessories used 400 inches in
an appeal to citizens to buy and im-
pair their cars now, in advance of
thP spring and summer rush.
That advertising in the Transcript
pays is being proven daily by the
direct results which are reported by
advertisers who are using the Prrtis
cript service consistently.
The automobile section will be a
regular department of the Sunday
paper. Owing to conditions under
which we are laboring, advertising
copy for this must be in by Wednes-
day night, in order to insure publi-
cation. Four pages will be devoted
entirely to the auto business of the
county, both advertising and read-
ing matter. In these four pages will
be found a complete outline of the
auto business, transactions and ac-
tivities.
Readers Watch the Ads.
Readers of the Transcript will do
well to watch the advertisements
and then go where they get thP best
values for the money. Every day
these advertisers offer you better
bargains than you can get in Okla
homa City by watching for months.
Norman merchants are telling you
about these bargains through the
newspaper and they have the goods
to back it up. They can not get
space enough to tell you all they
would like to.
By cutting down the space and
leaving out some adcertisements
altogether, we were ablP to hold the
Sunday paper to twelve pages. Six-
teen could have been printed if we
could get the paper.
When a man advertises, he has
the goods.
The- University of Oklahoma de-
bate leatn that met the Kansas Jay-
' hawkers at Lawrence Friday night
I returned hoiift Saturday morning
' with the long end of the score in
favor. Leslie Salter. Lloyd Nob-
le an dllugh M. Bland were mem-
bers of the Oklahoma-Kansas team.
The decision was two to one.
With thP Oklahoma team also
winning at home Friday night, the
Sooner forensic bafttlers captured
two sides of the triangular Oklahc-
ma-Kansas-Colorado deoate. This
. the first time in several years that
the Sooners liave been able to win
both sides of the triangle. ,
The Kansas debaters weren t pre-
pared to answer the arguments of
the Sooners, who wielded the eco-
nomic argument. The Kansas team
used the American argument.

"Is English spelling the onty
thine ill the universe that is abso-
lutelv perfect? Is it the only thing
'that can never be improved.
Ont hundred and five university
instructors and twelve assistants and
employes of thc university recom-
mend the adoption of the simplified
spelling. ,,,
\nomalous and arbitrary ^spell-
ing not only increases the difficulty
of learning to read but it is a great
obstacle to foreigners studying hng-
lish, therefore preventing its more
eeneral use in international commun-
ication. It also hinders commerce
and causes an unnecessary increase
in the cost of books in addition to
wasting time and educational oppor-
tunities for children.
The rules for simplifying spelling
are as follows:
Rule 1 Use "e" for the diphthong
"ae"; as, era, ther, esthetic, medie-
val, etc. . , .
Rule 5. Usp "d" for "ed" in pre
terit where the "e" is silent; as,
tiirnd, burnd. raind, etc.
Rule 0. Use "t" for "ed in pre
terits where "ed" has the sound ot
"t"; as, stopt, dipt, blest, etc.
Rule 7 Use "ense" for ' ence
when derived from Latin "ensa ; a?

NORMAN CAN BRING

BISHOP THURSTON SPEAKS
TO ROTARIANS AT WEEK-
LY LUNCHEON.
■ C. W. Shannon will leave tonight
yI'm'- , . tor ii„. annual covention of the 11 e
his father, has been lortte anmu^ d f ^
more, armed with letters of invita-
ion from ti.e Rotary club, Lions
■lub, Chamber of Commerce, Uni-
versity of Oklahoma and numerous
individuals asking th'it the conven-
tion be held at Norman ne>t year.
At the regularly weekly luncheon
f the Rotary club at the Teepee to-
day, Mr. Shannon explained the
method of selecting the meeting
place and expressed an opinion that
it will be possible to bring this con-
vention to Norman next spring.
I wo or three thousand people from
every county in the state will attend
this convention, he said.
Bishop Theodore Payne Thurston,
„ state bishop of the Episcopal
church, was the main speaker of the
occasion and made one °I ^est
twenty minute talks ever made be-
fore the Rotary club of Norman.
Rotarians Think Clearly.
The theme of his talk was the
gentlemanly details and qualities of
Rotarianism, especially urging that
members go one mile and then two
in their dealing with their brothers
and fellow Rotarians.
Clean thought and clean action
also are characteristic of the Rotar-
an clubs, the bishop added. A
group of Rotarians together will
speak and think of the same things
as they would if their wives, mothers
or sisters were present. He regards
this not fon, the standpoint of a min-
ister, he said, but from the stand-
point of a gentleman.
"American men must learn to
play, to relax. Perhaps but few
hours but they must forget their
dignity, get together and call each
other by first names and have a good
time," Bishop Thurston said.
Song rehearsal on some of the
melodies with which they expect to
capture Joplin was held between
courses. With this combination of
catchy songs and snappy singers,
Norman Rotes will tell the world
they're in Joplin 100 per cent strong.
Members of the club report the
ticket sale progressing nicely, many
members selling their entire supply
of tickets issued them last week.
Plans for thP minstrel are running
along in fine shape, promising the
best show for the money ever put
on in Norman.

"Probably 30 per cent of the ten
ant farmers of Cleveland county are
buying farms," I.. E. llogaii, county
Farm agent, said Saturday when a^k
ed about the average tenant farmei
in this particular section of the state
"The majority of them are still
renting because of the increased
price of land which makes thc mar
gin, upon which they buy, much lugn
cr. Less farm land has changed
hands here than ever before on ac
count of the great increase of thc
margin. .
According to Mr. Bogan this is
an unusually progressiva Dart of the
anxious to own their farm but the
increase in thc cost of living, thc
higher terms in the system of mort-
gages which are usually given by the
purchaser of the farm, and the
greater amount of cash now demand-
ed as the first payment, have made
it rather difficult for the man of
average means to pay out his farm
allotted number of years
All Own Cars.
\Farm values have increased
about forty per cent in the last two
years" he said. "High prices for all
farm products are largely respon
,ible for this increase."
"Although the great majority of
formers are not buying farms, it
does not necessarily inena that they
are in bad circumstances," Mr. Bo-
gan continued.
"Practically every farmer owns an
auto now, and for every onP that doe
rfuto now, and for everyone that
does not, someone else has two.
More tractors of all makes, are
being sold each month. They are
gaining in favor rapidly. Tractors
;ire not being used because of econ-
omy alone but rather for the sake
of speed and efficiency," he added.
That thc return of soldiers and
\their newly acquired wives is re-
sponsible for a large part of the
great influx of citizens which has
been so apparent lately is the opin-
ion of L. E. Bogan, farm agent for
Cleveland county.
The parents are turning over the
farms to the younger generation and
moving to town, Mr. I3oaan thinks.
According to Mr. Bogan observa-
tion, not half so many farm owners
are moving to farms now as a little
over a year ago, and the majority
(if farmers who lare moving into
town are of thc older generation.
