The "Leave it to Jane" musical

A number of the leading demo-
crats of Cleveland county were in
Oklahoma City Tuesday to mee
Hon. Homer Cummings, chairman
of the Democratic national com-
mittee, who was given a banquet
last night at the Skirvin hotel. He
is on his way east from Tucson,
Ari., where he has been investigat-
ing political conditions. Both
parties are paying considerable
attention to Oklahoma these days.
Just recently Will N. Hays, re-
publican national chairman, visit-
ed the state. Evidently the lead-
ers regard Oklahoma as fighting
ground in the 1920 campaign.
Football Man Recoveing: Car-
rying a ten-pound iron weight

we found it only I0^«ire # warmer
th n it was in OUIah„,«« City on
the morning of the 12th.
After a night's rest we took the
train for Aransas Pass, and stop-
ped at the town of Beeviilc in Bee
county, which is an old town of
4000 population made up of a mix-
ture of different shades of white,
Mexican and negro. Nothing new
here in the way of buildings or im-
provements. It has a good many
fair one and two story business
houses and the court house is
about like the one in Norman.
One thing it has, however, that
norman cannot boast of and that
is a nice federal building costing
about $15,000. Think of this meas-
ley little burg having a federal
building and Norman without one'
The towq has no free delivery
owing to lack of sidewalks off of
Main street. It is some forty,
miles from the Gulf and the coun-!
try is low and the soil a poor ash J
color. The boll weavil eats up
the cotton and destroys the little j
nubbins of corn in the fields and I
in the cribs. Broom corn is about I
the only wft' crop, and sorghum
j soy beans, and, where there i
j bottom land, Irish and sweet po-
i tatoes do very well. Mrs. McK.
j says a person that likes this part
of Texas would be satisfied with
any old place.
We find the high cost of living
just as high here as in Oklahoma
if not more so- We were disap-
pointed in not finding more flow-
i ers and shade trees, which are
J very scarce.
j We think Mrs. McK. is better,
j and are in hopes that the next
thirty days will cure her of her
troubles. We are going to the
Pass for a day at a time and back
here where we have rented a room
and take our meals any old where.
Can tell more later. Some peo-
ple are helped by coming here in
the winter, and some die just like
they do in other parts of the
world.
We think Oklahoma is good
enough for us. Regards to all
our old friends.
Truly.

Your doctor knows exactly what
drugs to order for your prescription,
and expects certain results from their

You are not giving him or yourself
a fair chance if you don't have that
prescription compounded where you
can get fresh and reliable drugs.
We are careful to give you only the
best and most efficacious drugs that
the doctor orders. And we can save
you money too. A trial will prove this.
