waa nut Croat deal
After the faabeut playing and tha
boat guard work of the aeaaon tha
final score waa Arapaho — 21 Cloud-
chief— 18
Tom Oooper happened to be with
tha Arapaho town and waa asked
to referee the game by Cloudchief
Tom did and refereed a good tame
and straight and but one fault
could be found which was the boys
played a lititle rough
The Cloudchief boys are splendid
in tbeir playing and had never been
beaten before on their own court
They were satisfied that they had a
square deal and ao waa the coach
Roy Deal' But alas! Not so with
the crowd!
Aa P D or B D or maybe B
V D MteArtbur the superintendent
of the school there aeid in hia paci-
fying dignified and ladylike manner
to the referee “You didn’t satisfy
the crowd”
Ye Goda on high Olympus! Doan
bureau of education or game rooster
with foot like Buff Cochin expect
referee to satisfy the crowd of
good but Very- arrogant and pre-
aupmtious patrons which were so
prominently fifcplayed froTO

divine right to (ilctate to the referee

pearing specimen of humanity who

Now In some cases 1 is very wen
and good to argue a point with thoee
who snek-to interfere but ofttlmes
Hia wiser to -egree quickly with your
adversary So the boya meekly raid
“No we hoped you would beat us’
It being unsafe and of no useful
ekid to try and explain to these good
but sadly uneducated people the
boya threw right in with them and
came off almost unscathed
Now the upsboot of the whole af-
fail was Cloudchitf is away off
from civilizaticn the law falls to
encompass that community and the
county authorities make an annual
call W that settlement only after

No one could say this foreign citi-
xenry had been drinning but when
they got their fiery noses right up
In ones free end breathed a breath

fragrance of grape-vines but would

This element may be called 'good

FEBRUARY FOR
REAL DAD LUGk
' February as a month of only
twenty-eight days has encountered
the disapproval of many scientists
They find fault with tha irregularity
of a calendj&r ‘ System tfrut makes
some monitha longer than others It
would be awkward if some days had
24 lone bad 23 and some had only
20 hours - It seams the same that we
base a calender with some months
having' 81 some 80 and one 28 days
Business ' calculations would bve
been simpler if the calendar makers
eould Have fixedit so that “all the
month would havo bean alike How-
ever su& disc imps nicies ‘do net dalii"
much difference' to -the average fatn-
tiy whose Sorrow' 'because the rent
cemes due m little sooner after this'
month js mitigated by the fact that
it doss wot cost so much for groceries
for only 28 days Most everyone in
Enid is now looking forward t
spring and its pleasant features S'
perhaps 28 days is about all we can
stand of old February — The Enid

Arapaho Winspirst
Game of Tournament
Hard fought game leaves team in
The Very Best Spirit Ever
- v3
In the middle of the lest quarter
with score 21 — 17 b favor of Arap-
aho Amie and Bernie were pulled
out for too many fouls
This put Clarice Sever and Haskell
Alexander in the game and they held
the score to 21—20 Arapaho ’s favor
Thh was the hardest game that
will be played in the opinion of
many for the Canute team has not
beam h taken before The game waa
aa good that the timekeeper let the
boya play a few "minutes over-time
and they would probably be playing
aa wa 0o t press with Arapaho just
4ns point in the lead if Prof Brown
had not looked at the stop-watlh
and whispera loudly “For God’s
sake shoot that gun’’
The boyw drew Butler for the next
game which looks like another vic-
tory as Arapaho has looked horns
with them before and ‘rather’ poured
it on’em
FJote Cooper Lefty Sibley and
Otto Igo played the whole game
and ' all were in finest shape for an-
other game

THERE IS A SILVER
UNI2T0 TO EACH
DARK CLOUD
CUSS WORD PUZZLE
Croavword Puzzles not proper-
ly named March the flrat waa last
Sunday Holidays always are in the
road Laet Sunday was in the bill
collectors’ road They chafed unde
the strain all day For times have
shut down hard
The Standard Oil Co shut down on
credit When they shut down en
credit newspaper had blotter r go
alow Last Monday waa a busy day
Tha Bee Office waa full of col-
lectors Wle thougjht them subscrib-
ers but found out otherwise to our
sorrow and dismay
When Andrew Jackson wwa elec-
ted President he destroyed the bank
and had people buald extra vaults' to
hold the money When he went out
the farmers took their silver fip and
a bit cut i four bits over the ax in
wood for change
It seeroe our big crop prospects of
last year are gone the same way
Lasn Monday Cy Howenstine
came early To say something we
could all agree on he said it waa
pretty cold I suggested it would be
warmer with the front door shut
ae the wind was blowing my curly
hair so it would not stay combed
Cy saw the humor and placed a
bank balance sheet on my table Hi
smile indicated there waa something
in it that would moderate the cold
winds to the shorn lamb
Now an editor has a thousand
things to think of on Monday morn-
ing He also has friends perhaps
not a thousand of them but one or
two
In came Frank Gallap and Ed
Cowles I thought it two more bill
collectors It was partly for Cowlee
wanted postage for the Bee and
package mailed without sufficient
postage More troubles for am ed-
itor ou Blue Monday Rank Gallap
gathered ' the Unabridged Dictionary
to has anna- and planked it in ' tha
midst of f our $350 breakfast table
we have been using aa a writing
table for forty years as a writing
table Ome leaf Hennan Smith got
mad and broke down some years ago
and is still badly bent If Frank
Gellap had the money he would now
buy a dozen dictionaries But one
at home and the rest in the treasur-
ers’ office -nd on the county judges’
work table
Ed 'Oowles would buy them and
rtack them up till you could not see
the General Delivery window at ibe
Post Office
The bank sheet showed OD in red
ink Over drawn is a polite way to
say something not understood It
should say hot check and od stands
old fool That was enough to make
a preacher swear but listen Ed
Cowles and Frank Gallap began to
argue the dictionary That is a
subject where you need a clear mind
and some education of the old style
’Round and ’round they went
Frank would read and Ed keep count
by thumping the table with his finger
as he did when he started to school
This bnk statement kept worrying
me I could not have added two and
two makes five to save my soul
Frank Gallap and Ed Cowles cross-
word puzzlla went deep into the coins
of eome ancient country that only
matte it woise I felt like saying
“iieet sett” like Pat Hurley’s wild
c:t story but tlhey were my friends
You know a fellow can't say every-
hing he would like to say! But
private radios work some and thest
two friends say lets go I tried tt
find the O D end get it woise Bill
Igo had been to business college ana
tried but could not because of a lift
insurance agent
Finally in about an ihour Bill
thought and suggested Ruby Strong
Now Rub Strong was a depoi
Agent in Dispenaory days A mar
who could do that can balance a weak
school district Ruby had checked u
a court clerk Here and found jiin
84600 in the hole To make aura
our county officers lhad a publicise-
counltant recheck Kib Summers
books He found 81100 more than
Ruby Strong But we still think i
better for the county to have junker
'hat $1100 nnd saved thie 8H0(
for the fitvte auditor But such i
’ife in the far west Ruby Strom
has a lecd pencil It looks like it
