The speech by the President of
the society—Mr. Kenneth Iiml
—was short, hut to rha point.
It started off u ith a real warm
welcome to the people of the
community to attend all enter-
tainments given in the auditori
um. It ended red hot with an
appeal to all Philomalliians to
ivake up and do their part to-
wards making their society one
of the best literary organizations
in the state.
The Glee Club, which is com
posed of seventeen pretty and
talented young ladies and five
of the smartest boys of town,
satig "Merry Merry Hearts,"
and when the audience called
for more—the old but pretty
ballad "Juanita." The mem-
bers of the Glee Club are: The
Misses Anna Adams, Goldie
Iin<-I, Vida Iiicbie, Josie Ander-
son, Pearl Pi ice, Marie Bell.
Dora Grigsby, Mattie Adams.

VVilla Harvey, Mae Adams and
Messrs. Kenneth Iniel, Frank

Hall and Troy Perkins.
After these songs Mr. Herbert
Mann and Miss Vida Richie took
the affirmative of the question,
^'Resolved, that Jefferson did
more for his country than did
Lincoln." in a debate against
Messrs. Cha3. Terrill and John
Blaney on the negative. The
judges chosen were Messre.
Adams, Gilstrap and Tryon.who'
rendered a decision of two for
the negative and one fo- the
affirmative.
After the seriousness of this
debate, Abo Tryon, from the
New Era office brought

Miss Mane Bell's reading,
"The Bridge Keeper's Story,"
was given as plain as if the
little boy had fell into the river
at your feet.
"Under the Mistletoe,'' a
piano duet by Misses Jurene
Grigsby and Pearl Price, was a
treat along the musical line.
Troy Perkins gave a fine
oration on "Progies-," aftei
which "Ye Editor" of the New
Era, bothered considerably by
staa;e-fright, played on the Vic
trola three vocal selections: I
Want t.o go Back to Michigan,
Silver Threads Among the Gold
and God B.- Willi You. By a
special request the band uiece —
Under the Double Eagle—was
again played.
Miss Mattie Adams' news-
paper, The Tattler, was brim'ful
of sp u'kling wit ai,d humor and
kept the audience in an uproar
of laughter.
Prof's, speech at the last was,
by far, the best number on the
program.
Miss Ada Nickell, one of the
faculty, played the piano ac-
companiament for all songs.

MAKE YOUR DOLLAR MAKE YOU DOLLARS
A dollar is a silver coin of the United States of the
value of one hundred cents, or about four shillings and
fourpence sterling.
A dollar day is a day set apart by the merchants of
a town on which you can buy some special bargains for a
dollar.
The merchants of Davenport, whose ads appear on
on the $ Day page, are offering you some genuine bar-
gains for Saturday, Oct. 23rd. You can buy on that day
for $1 what would cost you $3 on any other day.
Get out a load of that cotton and come to Davenport
on that day. The buyers here will give you as much or
more for your cotton than you can get anywhere. And
we are sure you will bs satisfied with the treatment you
will receive at the hands of our merchants—especially
those who advertise in the New Era. They are the ones
who practice what they preach when they say: "Trade
at home."
When you patronize the home merchant, and the
merchant patronizes the home paper, the paper boosts
more and we all grow. A horse well fed can do the work
of half a dozen that are starved.

Lots of Onions
One of the strongest pieces of
business secured by the Traffic
Department of the Frisco is mov-
ing over the line from Sacra-
mento, Calif, to St. Louie. It
consists of three train loads of
onions, each train made up of
sixteen cars loaded with the
fruit and shipped by the Wood
Crutis Ccmpany of Sacramento.
These trains are moviDg under
special service and the contents
are consigned to St. Louis and
Eastern markets. The fruit
train left Sacramento October
1st.
\fter the onions have passed
over the line, it is expected that
about GO cars of beans will be
sent as a follow up.
A Thought for
Every Young Person
Anyone who saw the excellent
bookkeeping, shorthand, type-
writing and penmanship work
exhibited at the Oklahoma State
Fair gives full credit to the Capi-
tal City Business College of
Guthrie. Its exhibits, without
question, surpassed anything in
the hue of Business College
work. The C. C. B. C. has ex-
hibited its students' work at
several rairs and won first honor
at each one.
For the very hest in Business
College work in the least pos-
sible time, at the least possible
cost, attend no other than the
C. C. B. C.

Autumn.
There is a quality in the air
that comes only with autumn, a
sharp coolness with the sunset, a
crisp, frosty flavor at sunrise.
At night the stars shine more
brightly from a sky of luminous
purple. There is comfort in
blankets, a new quality of sound-
ness in sleep.
Against the pale blue of tbe
sky the trees are contracting an
increasing variety of color. The
green of the leaves is darker and
dashed with pale yellow, ruddy
gold, crimson and the deep red
of the swamp growths. There
is a pungent smell of bonfires in
the air.
West of the village the flat
reaches of the slough are tawny
where the reapers have passed,
but green still marks the boun-
daries of field and pasture A
pool of water catches a sudden
blue from above; yellow hay-
stacks rise abruptly from the
marsh land, there is a soft haze
which dims the horizon.
Fragrant spicy odors of drying
grass and leaves and moist earth
are on the breeze. There is a
noisy chatter of birds gathering
for their long flight. In a few
weeks I shall hear the wild
geese calling through the night
as they fly low in from the lake.
In a cloudless sky the sun sets
abruptly in a flame of gold; the
yellow afterglow fades from the
deepening blue, a suddeu chill
rises from the marshland and
the mist creeps out from the
darkening trees. With my feet
ringing on the bard road I walk
home to dinner and a book he-
fore an open fire of fragrant
logs.

An Apology
We owe an apology to
Ladies' Embroidery Club,
the mistake we made in the
port of their organization
week. We stated that Mrs.
Taulbee was elected Vice Presi-
dent, which was, in a way,
wrong. The ladies decided that
the Hontess was to be the Vice-
President. That is, in case tbe
President should be absent, the
lady at whose house they were
met would he the chairman of
that meeting.
We attribute the mistake to
our lack of knowledge of society
affairs.
