Norman in several years, and guaran-
tees the show or your money refunded.
—Kain at Lexington: Reports come
from the south part of the county of
a fine rain last night, reaching nearly
to Noble. Willow View school house
was about the center of it, and it ex-
tended from there south and south-
east.
—Cleveland county has a new oil
and gas company called the "Farm-
ers Mutual Oil Leasing Company." It
is taking leases in the "10s," north of
Franklin and in the vicinity of Stella.
It is said it is making arrangements
to put down a well this spring.
—Mr. and Mrs. John Lindsay re-
turned last evening from ther honey-
moon, spent in St. Louis and Chicago
and other eastern cities, and are visit-
ing Mrs, Criswell's parents for a day
or two before going to their home at

—"Boggy" Johnson dropped in up-
on his Norman friends from Chicka-
sha on Tuesday. He has almost re-
covered from the effects of his acci-
dent at Rockford, 111., when an air-
plane dropped with him, and will
leave tonight for Houston, Tex., to
resume his duties in the service, re-
maining in the same branch. It's dif-
ficulty to destroy life or the nerve of
a Johnson boy.
liy I ni/ed . icss. ] Tuesday the record was made in
Dallas, Texas, Feb. 28.—Other fond j the Surgical Dressing. The ladies
mothers, notwithstanding, the "bright- j made over three hundred dressings.
est child" was discovered here today j
when Olive Davis Douglass, four ! Tuesday and Thursday evenings
weeks old, produced a full set of j there will be Surgical Dressing clas-
teeth in both upper and lower jaws, j ses opened to all who care to come.

—Postmaster Swank, Charlie S.
Standley, Bob Morter, Fred Close and
County Superintendent Clark went to
Willow View school house last night
to hold a thrift stamp meeting, but
the rain in that locality put a quietus
on the attendance, there being only
fourteen persons in the audience.
However, they succeeded in selling
$1,000 worth of baby bonds, and will
go back again. That is a thrifty com-
munity and promises to be one of the
best districts in the county.
—The Union Bible Study class
is growing in interest each week. Up
to the present time it has had fifteen
meetings with twenty-six members
enrolled. Total attendance has been
192, an average of 13. These meeoings
are held every Friday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. John Hardie. Every-
body who is interested in the study
of the Bible is welcome. Two weeks
ago it had a most interesting review
of the first twelve chapters of St.
John. Last week in connection with
the study of the 13th chapter, a very
interesting description of Christ, by
Publurs Lentulus, president of Judea
during the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
was read by Mrs. D. W. Griffin. Dur-
ing the absence of Rev. Alexander,
who is now in Illinois, Mrs. Alexander
has charge of the class.
—The Biter Bit: Yesterday a travel-
ing man made complaint against an-
other one, charging gambling. The
man was arrested at the interurban
depot by Chief Sanderson, and taken
before Judge Grigsby, where he said:
"Sure, Judge, I've been gambling, but
1 couldn't gamble all by myself. The
complaining witness in this case was
my companion and 1 desire to file a
complaint against him." The judge fin-
ed them each $28, which they paid,
and left the court room by separate
doors. If seems that in a game of
poker the first man lost $60 and got
sore, so he thoguht to even up by hav-
ing the winner arrested, forgetting
that he was as deep in the mud as the
other fellow was in the mire. The first
fellow claimed he had been swindled,
and tried to get the $60 winner man to
pav both the fines—but the other just
loosed at him and laughed.
—Before an audience of high school
students and numerous visitors at
chapel Thursday morning, the debat-
ers of the Junior class secured a
unanimous decision over the Fresh-
men in the annual debate. The Jun-
iors were represented by Roy Smith,
Subert Turbyfill and Clarence Morri-
son, while Charlie Phillips, Harold
Belknap and Jas. Buchanan upheld the
Freshman cause. The judges were Rev.
Gayer, Supt. Clark and Mr. Reed.

—Dr. D. W. Griffin and M. B.
Shives are looking forward with con-
siderable interest to the letting of
the contract for the new building
which will go up at the Oklahoma
State Hospital this summer. The
money is ready—something like $85,-
000—but it is not known as yet how
much of a building that amount will
construct, everything in the way of
building material and wages being so
high. The building will be for the
criminally insane, and probably will
be erected upon the southwest corner
of the grounds.
