IS HOR'IING IN
PARTS OF COUNTY
bounty Agent Norris Makes Inspec
tion Trip; M:ssed Million Dollar
Rain Monday Night.
Corn is suffering in the northwest
and south of Cleveland county, not
ii every field but in lots of them,
according to P. K. Norris, follow-
ing a trip made in his auto yester-
rlay.
"We missed a million dollar rain
Monday night, it seems to have gone
iround the west of us and soaked
up a lot of other places where they
leeded it without giving us more than
i few drops in the dustj' he continued.
Threshing is being done by about
every machine in the county able to
run Farmers are trading work and
trying to keep down the almost pro-
hibitory price of labor, according to
the report. With the number of jobs
supposedly open it is a wonder there
are any idle in town, and yet Nor-
ris stated that he had tried places
lor two or three men by phoning from
his office and was surprised to find
verything filled in the few places
be tried where he thought there might
be places for them.
Wheat Tests Fine.
Wheat is testing around 61 and 62
pounds per bushel which is above
the standard of 60 pounds per bushel
and everything looks fine for the
small erain men, he reported.
A close observer can tell the dif-
fymt kinds of land in the corn fields
he passes by looking at the corn. One
can tell quife a bit about the amount
of cultivation it has had by the height
and looks of the crop, too, when just
dri mr along the section line, he
poi'ited out.
Mrs. R. H. Russell and Son, Paul,
returned from Duncan Monday where
they visited Mr. Russell for several
days.
Remarkable Linguist
Is Summer Instructor
At University School
One of the most interesting of
the special teachers in the sum-
mer session at the university is
Miss Hortensia Dellalie, who is,
during the regular school year,
a teacher in the Esplanade high
school of New Orleans.
Miss DeHalle is a north Span-
iard by birth, having been born at
Villaviciosa, near Oviedo, on the
Hay of Biscay. While still a very
young girl, she went to Switzer-
land, where she spent eight years
and where she received a large
part of her education, in the city
of Lausanna, so that she speaks
French as well and fluently as
Spanish, her native tongue. t
She has lived also for short per-
iods in France and England.
Some four years ago her father,
who has large land holdings in
Mexico, came to that country and
Miss DeHalle her mother and sis-
ter, have since that time lived in
New Orleans.
Miss DeHalle is a remarkable
linguist, speaking English ex-
tremely well although she has
been only a few years in English-
speaking countries, and also a
very popular and successful teach-
DEMOCRAT CHIEF SAYS
LETTERS UNAUTHORIZED
1 Warning has been received from Geo.
! F. Clark, secretary of the Oklahoma
I democratic state campaign committee,
that letters have been mailed to parties
in the state, written on letterheads
I of the campaign committee, and in the
interests of the candidacy of O. R.
Thraves. The use of the letterheads
was unauthorized and such action has
been condemned. Clark says.
EPISCOPAL MINISTER
RESIGNS AFTER MANY
YEARS IN SERVICE
FAILING HEALTH GIVEN AS
CAUSE; RESPONSIBLE FOR
KING HALL SUCCESS.
With bis charge here re-organized
under the new form of Episcopal gov-
ernment and with spiritual prospects
the brightest they have been in the
entire eleven ytars of bis ministra-
tions to the congregation of St. John's
Episcopal church, Rev. Mr Vincent C
Griffith was forced to resign recently
ly on account of his health.
Mr. Griffith arrived in October,
1909, to take the leadership of St-
John's congregation. The church
was then substantially as it is now,
but the present King Hall was at that
time the Kappa Sigma fraternity
house and the fireproof stucco east
wing had not been built yet. Between
the univeisity campus and King Hall,
were nuny vacant weed-grown lots
and only very few houses to the
southeast along what are now De-
ltarr, Jenkins, Monnett and Trout
avenues
At that time there was only one
sorority the Kappa Alpha Theta
that was over in what is now the
president s residence. Girls were just
scattered everywhere and the Kappa
Sig's house was purchased in 1910 or
1911 by the Episcopal church to be-
copie the dormitory for girls that it
is now.
Deesigned The Wing
Mr. Griffith, who was an architect
before he donned the robes of an
Episcopal clergyman, conceived and
planned the stucco east wing tliat was
added to the original frame building.
This plan of adding to the dormitory
was agitated and worked on for sev-
eral years before the actual building
was completed and ready for occu-
pation in 1914.
JAVIS ANNOUNCES FOR
COUNTY TREASURER
JOB
The I rauscript is authorized to
announce the candidacy of K S. Da
\ is for the office of county treasur-
er, subii t • > the democratic primary
< in August 3.
Mr. Davi lias lived in tlie county
! lor thirty years. is well known amoug
i the citizens and bis ample qualifica
tions need no further introduction
from our hands.
Hi promises to handle the affairs of
this office in an efficient and pain
staking manner, and will appreciate
your vote and influence.
Housing girls is only one part of
the plan, however, for it is project-
ed to put up a dormitory for men on
the north side of the quadrangle
leaving the partly enclosed rear
grounds for tennis courts, flower gar-
dens. lawn or whatever there is room
and desire for.
"My intimate relations with the
spiritual trials and growth of the uni-
versity students havi been an unceas-
ing delight throughout the years of
my ministrations here. The people
i of St John's and of Norman," he ad-
ded "will always keep a place in my
affections that no others may fill. Of
that they may be sure."
Is Sorry To Leave.
! Students do not seem so reckless
and so willful to him as to others
who judge by the indifference and su-
perficial attitude of them he says.
, 11e believes that the greater part of
the talk about such a spirit is lack
of understanding of the real student.
Of his resignation and departure
sometime later in the month for a long
rest at his brother's home on Long
Island, Mr. Griffith says, "It is with
; great regret that I am taking this
i step at a time when the work of the
j church here offers a more attractive
I appeal than ever, not only in the plans
for expansion and development but in
I the corporate spirit and support of
St. John's as well."

DEMOCRATS NAME THE
MAN, LOCAL OPINION
Governor Cox of Ohio Selected by
Acclamation After 44th Ballot
At Frisco Convention.
Governor James M. Cox was named
as the democratic presidential nom-
inee by acclamation after the forty
fourth ballot at the San Francisco
convention Tuesday morning. The
deadlock existed Saturday night at
adjournment began to break on the
thirty-eighth ballot after Palmer had
released his delegates, most of them
goim- for Cox.
Me Wi 1 t steadily when conven-
4 ion • i . ! Ms Monday morn-
Owen tti Ol lahoma remained
steady, > '• ine with thirv-fonr votes,
fair average f the numher he re-
i ived all ^tiring the convention. At
one time he received over forty votes
f'om tweh • states, but was unable to
<tart a stampede in his favor.
Is Strong Candidate
\cc rdiug to opinions expressed
bv a few of Norman's democrats,
< < x will b*< the strong candidate at
the convention. It is their belief that
the ticket of Cox and Roosevelt will
carry the November election without
difficulty.
Summing tin his qualifications the
Oklahomafi aid thi- morning:
"As governor of Ohio, C >x has
demonstrated an extraordinary abil-
ity to handle important matters in a
prompt and efficient manner. As a
member o(" congress, he showed •.n-
usual qualities of statesmanship Both
in emigre— and in the position of
chief exectitiv( "f Ohio he has re-
peatedly demonstrated his progress-
ivene.s* ha ability to analyze situ-
ations accurately and to meet per-
plexing issues with constructive pro-
grams that sojve the problems suc-
cessfully.
Try—
W hat a lot of grief results
from not trying.
Men have brilliant—great
ideas. But they fail to try them
and the world loses and so do
they.
But we are talking of another
kind of try—the tr\ing of new
ideas that more daring men
make trvable.
We fail here, quite as much
as in the first case, to try. Thus
much grief and hardship con-
tinue to grip us because we
never try the new thing. We
ling to the old when the new
is so much better.
l-amily washings, for instance.
Hundreds of women have never
even tried tin service of the
modern laundry.
Try our service now. If we
can't please you—ii we can't
take a great big burden off your
mind a ad hands ev« ry week, we
certainly won't want you to
come back.
But try our service—just try
it That much is to your in-
terest as well as ours
