Volume 13
This and That
Oklahoma has a wonderful cli-
mate.
Monday before la^t a heavy
sheet of ice covered the ground.
The latter part of last week
and Sunday and Monday were
genuine spring days.
The kind that makes you over-
haul your old fishing tackle.
And Tuesday was a typical
March day.
A gentle breeze coming from
the south ,k about fifty miles per
hour.
That breeze Tuesday reminded
us of what the Texas cowboy
told the eastern homt seeker out
in the panhandle of Texas.
A real estate, agent had a num-
ber of land buyers out in the pan-
handle a few years ago—
The wind was whooping it up
around 50 m. p. h. and had kept
it up for several days.
The real estate agent informed
his prospective customers that
it was very unusual and that it
could not possibly last more than
another day.
Growing suspicious one of the
easterners approached a cowboy
and asked:
"Dojs the wind blow this way
here all the time?"
The cowboy replied:
"No, not all the time. It gen-
erally fools along with a little
breeze like this for a week or ten
days and then turns loose and
blows like hell."
Along with the nice weather
comes a desire to make garden.
Several gardens have been
plowed this week and merchants
have garden seeds on display.
Speaking of garden seeds-
Scott Ferris sent us several
packages of garden seeds a few
days ago and Wednesday we
mailed them out to our subscrib-
ers on the routes out of Cashion
as far as the supply would reach.

The Man of Many Faces
—Eugene Knoi.
On Lyceum Course Feb. 22.
Laughs|predominate in Eugene
Knox's program. Knox is a hum-
orist. He tells stories, one after
another, as fast as you can as-
similate them. No wigs or make
up are necessasv for Knox. His
face, hair and hands are all the
''fixin" needed"
There is nothing ol' the clown
in Knox. His work, funny or
serious, alt has a purpose and is
done with a high degree of artist-
ry and finesse. No entertainer
on the platform todav is more
versatile or able to effect changes
of facial expression and character
more rapidly.
Character representation of
types you know, are ludicrous in
the extreme as Knox makes them
live. A deep student of charac
ter, Knox displays an almost un
canny ability to depict peculiar
human quirks.
You will be delightfully and
helpfully entertained. Stories
you hear that night will be told
and laughed over inanv times in
the weeks to follow. Like every
other Lyceum and Chautauqua
town he has visited, you will
vote Eugene Knox a superlat-
ive entertainer and a delightful
gentleman.

Folks Take Advantage of

Cashion's streets were crowd-
ed last Saturday as a result of
the Dollar Day staged by a num-

It was a real bargain day and
folks were not slow to see it. All

in the campaign were more than
pleased with the results and we
heard a number of people who
came here to trade, express good
opinions of the idea. Fact is—
Dollar Day was a success in
every way to say t.ne least.

fly down the chimney, and hens walk in the door, beet-

hand. i
