Postcards received by Mrs. John

that the vessel on which he and Teddy
Pierson are stationed is on its way
from California to the Atlantic coast.
They were mailed at Ancon, which

ripe old age of No. Mrs. Womack lived
here some years ago when her son,

attempt to divert his insurance from 1 |i
her to his parents. She is in Kansas ! j
City, and is thought to have left the J J
Norman man with whom it is alleged j ji
she ran off some months ago. The
parents of Mr. Glasgow are old and i
feeble, and it is the contention of the j
W. O. W. authbrities that Mrs. (Has- ^
gow forfeited any equity in the in- i
surance when she ran off with anoth- j,
I
er man.
The County Council of Defense
is earnest in its belief that one way
to win the war is to have as many I
gardens as possible, and to that end ; [
has appointed Dr. A. H. \anVIoet
superintendent of activities along:
that line. Every vacant lot in town j
should be utilized, and it is the j
thought that there will be more i
gardening in Norman this year than 1
ever before. Mr. VanVleet will outline j
his idoas in the Transcript and at J
public meetings. Mr. Ralph C. Hardie
has been put in charge of the speak-
ing activities of the Council and will !
make plans to get that part of the i
work thoroughly organized.
—The recent 'transfer of Noble
property from Reid & Hobaugh to
R. F. Ellinger was the elevator and
cotton gin which Reid & Hobaugh
have owned in that city for ten or
twelve years. Little improvement has
been made on the property for the
past ten years, which accounts for the
small price paid—$8,000. Mr. Ellin-
ger Will improve the plant and make
it modern and up-to-date. "Billy" j
Reid is now at Marlow, where he has |
a big store, and Charlie Hobaujjh has |
disposed of all his Noble property j
and moved root and branch to Bris- ,
tow.
Work for Children
There are many ways in which boys
and girls can earn money to buy
thrift and war savings stamps. Here
are a few suggestions:
Beating carpets, waxing floors,
sifting and dumping ashes, helping
parents, cleaning cellars, cutting and
sawing wood, varnishing furniture,
cleaning silverware, washing windows
tearing down chicken coops and fen-
ces and cutting up for firewood, car-1
ing for the neighbor's baby, messen- j
gers for drug stores and doctors, sel-1
ling magazines, work in store on Sat-
urday, wait on table, shining shoes.
Pie Suggestion
Quite a controversy has arisen on
pies, and especially on pie suppers at!
country school houses. Here's a sug-
gestion, and it meets the requirements I
Make the pie crust of equal parts of
rve and rice flour and vegetable fats.

The Low-Priced Beauty Car

many people who said thai \<>u
couldn't expect beauty and size
and power and riding comfort in
a popularly priced car.
Yet all of these qualities are in
the new ('.rant Six and it is within
a few dollars of being the lowest
priced six in America.
The C.rant Six is built by men
who are progressive— men whose
motto is "beat yesterday. I hex
have refined the car down to the
last detail.
These men had in their mind s
eyes the thousands of prosperous
business men, farmers and pro-
fessional men, who want a moder-
ately priced, speedy, economic .1
car, but who also v. ant a car . r
which they need not apologize.

Mechanically it is without a
rival in the popular-priced Ik Id.
The overhead-valve engine, the
full-lloating rear axle, the canti-
lever rear springs, the roomy body
with its divided front seats, the
long whcelbase and many other
features of its design are far in
advance of usual standards in
priced cars.
