THE DAILY TRANSCRIPT
VOL. VIII. NO. 53.
NORMAN. OKLAHOMA. TUESDAY, JUNE 22,1920
DRICE FTVE CENTS
BUDGET DRIVE OF
BOY SCOUTS WILL
BE ON TOMORROW
$2,400 NEEDED TO PAY EXPEN-
SES OF ALL TROOPS FOR
NEXT YEAR.
Committees from the local council
of the Boy Scouts will he around the
town tomorrow, Wednesday. June 23,
to raise the yearly budget of the Boy
Scout organization of Norman. The
budget calls for $2,400 to care for the
total expense of the troops for the
com ng year. This includes about
$50 i expense for the summer camp
which is to be held some time in Au-
gust.
This campaign will last one day
only, and it is the expectation of the |
council and of the cimmittees in I
charge to go out early in the piorn- |
ing and raise this sum in a short
while, thus getting over with and out
of the wav. |
This $2,400 will be all the scouts of ]
Norman will ask until the budget is
made up again this time next year.
They will not call on you from time I
to time. They ask this to pay their
way a vear, and then you're through
with it—from a financial standpoint.
■Salary Is Paid.
The summer camp will receive $500
of this sum. Though this is not the
total cost it brings the assesment per
boy to such a low sum that each of
them may be able to go.
Part of the money will go to pay
the salary of the director of activ-
ities, Thomas Rowe.
Personally, we do business every day
with about ten boys wh# are under
the supervision of this man. and are
well qualified to state that scouting
in Norman has never had the popu-
larity before as it has under this man's
supervision.
He has taught the boys to really
honor and live^yp to their scout laws
nd oath and a big difference may
be noted in the demeanor of the boys
under him.
Other parts of the sum asked will
go for incidental expenses.
One Day Campaign.
This Boy Scout one-day campaign
is, in" our opinion, the most worthy
campaign which lias come up in Nor-
man since the signing of the armis-
tice. The money you give tomorrow
will not go from the state, will not
go from Norman, but every cent goes
into direct service to help my boy
SUGGESTS BOOSTER TRIP
AHEAD OF COUNTY FAIR
"Norman ought to send out a boos-
ter delegation to tour the country ju^t
before the township lairs and the
Cleveland county lair are to come
off," P. K. Norris, county agricultu-
ral agent, pointed out today.
Probably this will have to be done
about the middle of July if they in-
tend to take the band along, for most
of them will be gone by the first of
August, it is thought.
EGG GANDLING IS NOT
PRACTICED MUCH HERE
County Agent Outlines Some of Rea-
sons Why No One Takes
the Proper Interest.
Egg candling is not practiced or en-
forced very much in this state among
th farmers and retailers, said P. K.
Norris, county agricultural agent.
liaas ar<* very rarely candled to
ascertain that '.aey are not spoiling
until they reach the big central pro-
ce ealers who are forced to do so
in order to meet requirements of fed-
eral laws. They have to pass the in-
spection of a federal egg candling ex-
aminer just the same as the packers
have to meet the approval of the fed-
eral meat inspectors, Norris eluci-
dates.
Figure on Loss.
Big produce houses candle eggs
received before they dare ship them
but tliey iigure on standing the loss
• f \ certain amount of spoiled "hen
fi uit" and quote prices to the local
i:>|,per accordingly.
The local shipper quotes these pri-
ces to the producer of eggs and nei-
ther of them have any incentive to
do the candling themselves. Why
should they? They get no pay for
their troubles. Such is the situation
as outlined by the county agent.
TAXPAYER DOES NOT jCITY MANAGER FAVORS BULLETINS-
KICK, IS SURPRISE DOING PAVING WORK
®"rs. Lydia Briggs Doesn't Like Rain>
Knocks Her Campaingn Out. Says
Courthouse Reporter.
"Tom you don't play fair. Havn't
you got any kick at all?" mocked
Lydia Briggs, assistant county treas-
urer, this morning when a tax-payer
handed over the amount without a
murmer.
"Now that isn't right. I just know
my first half was not as big as that
Why it was ten dollars less at the
very least. That's the stuff you
ought to pull. Why I've heard it
so often 1 know it by heart" she smil-
ed.
Digs Up Receipt.
Explains Plan by Which Norman
Could Legally Do Own Paving
Contracting Work.
"Norman could save 30 percent of
paving costs by buying the materials
and putting the work through by it-
self." asserted W. R. Gater, city man-
ager.
The city manager proposed this
two months ago but the Chamber of
committee to investigate and report
on the legality of the act thought it
would not be legal. This is the situ-
ation as represented by fiater.
The city cannot pave without voting
bonds for that purpose. Bonds issu-
ed Hy the city cannot be legally sold
Mrs. Briggs then hunts up their last by it at less than par value, so they
are turned over to a private contract-
or at par and the contractor sells
them at about 15 percent discount to
receipts for the first half of their
taxes and the kickers admit "Well, I
guess that was right, but it didn't

C, OF C. MAY BRING
COTTON GRADER HERE
LATE DEVELOPMENT
TO COME UP AT LUNCHEON;
NOBLE BANK NOT IN FA-
VOR OF GUARANTEE, SAID
The question of bringing the fed-
eral cotton classer to Norman instead
of Noble, where considerable senti-
ment has developed in favor of the
proposition in the past few weeks,
will be taken up at tomorrow's meet-
ing of the Chamber of Commerce
and fully discussed by the members.
There are several farmers' unions
organized in the south and east part
of the county' and these organizations
are geting behind the proposition
unanimously.
To seclure this federal classer, it
is necessary that a guarantee of $3,-
500 be underwritten by a bank, and ac-
cording to the Chamber of Com-
merce bulletin out this morning, the
Noble bank is not in sympathy v/ith
1 the movement.
The chairman of the county inter-
ests committee will bring the propo-
sition up tomorrow and the county
agent will be present to take up and
discuss any feature about it which

According to sentiment, it seems
that the majority believe if ffie county
secures a federal cotton clnsser, he
should come to Norman, the county
seat.

ingly.
One man that went around to get
the valuation recently told Barnard
that he did not have time to bother
with jt then, or some remark to that
effect and went on about his business.
The assessor said he added about a
half more to the man's assessed val-
uation and explained why he was do-
ing it.
Barnard admitted that it was rather
hard on the busy one, but added that
two of three such men could hold up
the tax rolls which must be in the
hands of the county cquilization
board as soon as possible.
