Mrs. J, M. Griffice, President.
The coming star, the brightest
star, and the star most talked about,
and thought about; the star that fills
the minds of men, is the star that
has hung over Jerusalem for ages,
and still guides us back to that
sacred city where the Savior was
born. Each succeeding year that
marks off thne and brings back
Christmas Day, brings the shining
star nearer home, we see it plainer
now than in childhood's happy days
when tinsel toys were the joy of
Christmas times.
Norman will have a Christmas star
of greater magnitude than ever be-
fore. The illuminations will be worth
coming miles to see, and when you go
home on Christmas night the scenes
that you will see that night will fol-
low you and guide you back again.
In wakeful hours you will see them
and in midnight dreams they will ap-
pear before you like the star that the
shepherds saw over Bethlehem. Come
and see it all free of charge. No cost
to any one. The skill and loyalty of
purpose shown by Mrs. Diets! is giv-
ing to Norman one of the most pleas-
ing events given in Norman, one that
will live in the memory of all. Pa-
triotic and religious scenes will fill
the program.
The time is Christinas night and
the place is at the home of The Civic
Committee at "The Sign of the Red
Cross" that is burning now and will
keep burning until Christmas night.
THE CIVIC COMMITTEE.
I am closing out my entire line of
furniture, rugs and mattresses at
greatly reduced prices.

MANAGER JONES RESIGNS
Mr. W. Porter Jones, who has most
acceptably filled the position of man-
ager of the Oklahoma Gas and Elec-
tric company for the past year, has
resigned, effective January 1, 1918.
We understand he will locate in Okla-
homa City, going into business for
himself, and as he is a man of fine
business ability and thoroughness
there is no doubt of his success.
His successor has not yet been ap-
pointed, but the Transcript-Enterprise
understands Frank Carder is being
considered for the position. He is the
logical man for the place, thoroughly
understanding the work, and has
proven himself thoroughly reliable
and efficient. His friends trust he
will be given the deserved promotion.

DR. SCROGG'S LECTURE
Under the auspices of the Health
and Recreation department of the
Women's Committee of Council of De-
fense, Dr. J. W. Scroggs of the uni-
versity lectured to. a large audience
of school girls at the high school
auditorium, Wednesday, on the most
important questions of the moment.
"America" was sung, led by Mrs. J.
W. Bridges and ending with the new
petition, "God, Save Our Men."
Dr. Scroggs in his heart-to-heart
talk with the girls pointed out the
great importance of genuine girlhood
and womanhood; what it meant to
our soldiers and nation as a whole,
and the very important place woman-
hood holds in this, the greatest crisis
of the ages. He appealed to the
girl^ for their best, pointing out to
them that it would lead to long life,
haPPy homes and an everlasting
memory of their pureness reproduced
in others. It is to be regretted that
this lecture could not reach all girls
over the land. The good it would do
could not be estimated.
