Glad to
Meet You
Yesterday we started a new campaign
of publicity in this paper.
We're here again today and you'll no-
tice that the topic is changed. It's
never going to be the same twice—so
with every Sun you can expect a new
thought from McCall's.
Here's one we pass along today—it's
good because it's true and true be-
cause our advertising man isn't allow-
ed to run off the Narrow Path.
A McCall suit of clothes this fall isn't
going to cost you one cent more than
is absolutely necessary to maintain a
high standard of quality. \\ e've kept
the costs down where we could and
where we couldn't we've SAT a bit on
the profits so that a McCall customer
won't have to STAND for anything
short of a great big beautiful dollar's
worth. *

dits completed elsewhere—not mere-
ly grade cards—as only tentative
classification can be made without
them.
All students applying for admission
to the freshman class must present
written evidence of promotion from
the eighth grade of the independent
chool last attended or a county eighth
grade diploma if from a school un-
der the jurisdiction of the county
superintendent.
Grade pupils will be enrolled at their
respective schools Monday morning
at nine o'clock. They should in every
case bring with them their promotion
eards and in this way facilitate their
classification.
Pupils of grades one to eight living
east of the Santa Fe railroad will
attend the Jefferson school; those liv-
ing west of the railroad the Washing-
ton school.
Children who are not now six years
of age but will become so before Jan-

after January 21st but before May
27th, the end of the second semester,

Vear.
It is highly desirable that all begin-

the opening of the second semester,

TRANSCRIPT WANTS
CORRESPONDENTS
Every Community in County Should
Be Represented in This Paper;
Is a Paying Job.
Wh en the Transcript starts nper-
tion of its new press, it will be able to
develop the county news field as the
management has desired for many
months. Plenty of space will be
available to devote to rural happen-
ings and it is our desire that every
community in Cleveland county he
represented.
We now have a correspondent at
NewcEstle, route 8 out of Norman,
and at Noble. We want one at every
schoolhouse district and at every I City
town in the county. Moore, Lexing-
ton, Denver, Franklin and other
places arc open.
Newspaper publicity has long been
Recognized as the moit euccessiul
way of getting a town on the map
It has been tried out by all promo- j
ters in establishing new towns and
it has been used to keep long estab-
lished towns from sliding down hill.
Will Pay Space Rate.
A regular correspondent at every
public gathering place in Cleveland
ounty can keep his neighborhood con-
stantly before the entire county and
much of the state as well When the
community has box suppers, speak-
ings, picnics, protracted meetings and
other such things, he can boost them
greatly and help make them a success
through these columns.
For these news-letters from the
country districts, the Transcript is
willing to pay so much a column, and
at the same time give a liberal com
Fifty feet of the west end approach
trestle work on the Norman South
Canadian river bridge, and more is
threatened by the rise which came
down the river last night. The ap-
proach went out < irly this morning,
reported to be about daylight.
About forty feet is gone all togeth
er, \\ liilr more is hanging down and
the whole structure, from the steel
spans to the dirt road is out of line
and leaning to the south.
Traffic is cut off completely and
the good roads association office at
Oklahoma City is reported routing
cars through Tuttle and Newcastle,
although ferries at tluse points will
also be out of commission on account
of the high water.
Traffic Is Delayed.
Driftwood lodging against the wood
piling is responsible for the wash-
out. The main .current of the stream
has switched to the west side beyond
the steel piers, and the wooden posts,
which have rotted away about two
feet above the low water mark, were
unable (o stand the pressure exerted
by the water on the drifts.
Traffic will be delayed several days
It is thought, until the water goes
down more. It has receded consid-
erably since the crest of the rise went
down about 4 or 5 o'clock this morn-
ing.
The Blanchard-Norman jitney line
manager is reported to be planning a
suspension cable to ferry people
across the open space, thus enabling
them to get to Norman.
CLEAN UP WAR IS
STILL IN ACTION
Must Present Sightly Appear-
ance When Students Come, Is
City Official Mandate.
Trucks and men are still busy
cleaning up Norman, is the glad tid-
ings from the office of the city man-
ager.
The University City must be a
clean place at the end of this week.
All trash and garbage must be re-
moved.
All weeds and unkept lawns must
be in shape
There must be no slackers in the
citv of Norman.
Everything must be in a clean and
sightly condition when the scores of
university students arrive the com-
ing week.
Although the results so far have
been splendid they are still far from
satisfactory in- the eyes of the sity
officials.
Three trucks and a force of men
still are busv cuttl'g weeds on va-
mission on new and old subscriptions j cant iots alleys, and other property
where owners have not pride enough
to see to It themselves.
Property owners in this habit will
have the surprise of their lives when
yanked up before Judge Roy Lewis
and "fined the limit"- for neglecting
to do so. it is said.
Better get busy at once.
Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Thompson are
expected home Saturday from Chica-
go, where they were called by the ill-
ness of Mr. Thompson's mother.
Mr. Thompson's mother is still living
but there is little hope of her recov-
ery
A live wire can make it a good thing.
A nice bunch of spending money can
be realized, and the community can
be well represented at the same time.
Write the editor of the Transcript
and tell him you'll represent your com-
munity. Further instructions and in-
formation will then be given you.
