I am informed that interested par-

ty superintendent. Nothing could be
further from the truth. 1 have not
withdrawn, and will be in the race

of the voters.
Respectfully,
(Mrs.) LILLIAN FOSTER
Norman, July 3, 1916.
We have had two dayR and a half
without rain. That's sum,. record. I
Mr. and Mrs. Boggs took little |
Dugan to the University Hospital at |
Oklahoma City, to have his ears e\-
a nined. The examination showed a
Slight effection of both ears, but notii-
■ng serious.
Miss Anna Michener is on the sick
[list.
I Mr. S, Bennett made a uuB.nes.
| trip to Oklahoma City Tuesday.
A very heavy rain and a near
i storm visited Moore Monday.
| The singing still continues at Bur-
kett's. Everybody invited.
! The baby of Mr. and Mrs. Petty, of
this neighborhood died Sunday. The
parents have our sympathy.
We understand one of the little
Britt boys is quite sick with flux.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Smith, of Okla-
homa City, visited Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Bennett Saturday and Sunday.
Mrs. Mick Haines and Mrs. Chas.
Downing called on Mrs. Burkett and
Mrs. Lual: last Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Warren Michener is on the
sick list. , . .
The valley farmers have their
small grain all cut. But there is lots
still standing in the Moore neighbor-
hood. ,, „ . ,
Mrs F. M. Burkett sold four of her
hens on the market last Saturday for
$4.83. Does it pay to raise Langshans.
Arthur Michener visited in Noble
! last Sunday. We certainly missed
] him at singing. All of the girls were
. wondering where he had gone, but
I felt quite sure he was not ill the In-
dependence neighborhood.
I Ezra Sloan says a nice little hail
I storm destroyed their cotton. 1 m'
hail had a particular spite "t them,
as theirs was the only field damaged.
There ar(. freaks in tbe weather this

WATCH NORMAN GROW
For 25 years we have been watching
and assisting Norman to grow. Dur-
ing these years it has been our policy
to secure, improve and hold as an in-
vestment as much of Norman real
estate as our means would permit.
Our only regret is that our means
would not permit us to secure more
than we now hold. It has all proven
profitable. We cannot buy all of the
good investment propositions still to
be secured. Years of experience with
real estate in Norman enables us to
make choice selections for investment
for others, as well as f°r ourselves. ^
If any of the readers of this adver-
tisement desire to be shown where
they can safely and with profit make
investments in Norman real estate,
we would be pleased to ha\ e them
drop into our office and look over
propositions we have listed.
