WOMAN BOOTLEGGER
SENT OUT OF TOWN
"Old-Timer" of Oklahoma City Was
Here But Did Not Have
Any "Cheer"
A woman of Oklahoma City who I
has frequently visited this town and
has a "100 fine hanging over her for
transporting, dropped into town
again Friday and was promptly taken
in charge by Chief Sanderson.
She had been bringing liquor into
Norman for one or two of the "old-
timers," but this time did not have
any.
She begged off so pitifully, promis-
ing to leave at once and never come
back, that Municipal ludge I.ewis al-
lowed her to go. .
It is the ambition of Judge Lewis
and Chief Sanderson to make Norman
the cleanest little city in the state,
and "undesirables" are fast finding
that fact out.
Many of these so-called "sports
have found that Norman is not in the
market for that kind of stuff and are
gradually learning to steer clear.
Chief Sanderson and Judge Lewis
are largely responsible for this rep-
utation "University City" has with
all peoples of the underworld. They
have worked always with the end in
view that Norman will be forever
cleared of all such -classes of people,
and they are rapidly approaching
their ambition.
Stays on Farm Eight
Months at a Stretch
During a conversation with Geo.
Wilson, a farmer living eighteen
miles east of here, we learn that
he moved on his farm Jonuary 1,
1919, and it was in August before
he again heard the whistle of a
train. He did not come to town
during that time.
Considering that Wilson drove a
fire team eight years previous to
taking up farming, that is some
stunt.
Wilson was driver of the Purcell
fire department when that or-
ganization established a wirld s
record in the "bunk-out" race.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR IS
INCREASING RAPIDLY
Norman Comniandery No. 38,
Knights Templar, had an especially
pleasant meeting at Masonic Temple
on Friday afternoon and night, with
a banquet at 6:30 in the evening.
The conclave was attended by a large
number of Knights, and Grand Com-
mander Fred H. Clark of EI Paso
was the guest of honor. He made a
short address, congratulating the
Commandery upon their fine temple
and the good work they were doing.
Messrs. Robert C. Berry and J. W.
Billings were given the three
Knights Templar degrees.
Norman Commandery now has
something like sixty members of the

The teachers of the Norman public
schools will be the guests Monday
night of the Norman Rotary club at
their monthly meeting at the Teepee
House on University boulevard. The
club will not hold its noonday lunch-
eon.
An interesting program has been
prepared and every effort will be
made by the Rotarians to make the
meeting a beneficial and pleasant one
to their guests.
The outstanding idea cf the Ro-
tarians in giving the reception is to
impress upon Superintdent Faulk
ner and his corps of teachers tUeir
appreciation of the good work they
are doing and to get acquainted with
them.
' This is only one of the many "get
togethers" the Rotary club is plan-
ning to bring the citizens of Norman
into more personal contact, and can-
not but help to impress upon every
one the "good fellowship" idea which
makes for better feelings, a better
town, and a boost for everything
good.

makes for efficient management of
home, personal and farm finances,
strengthens credit and insures financial
assistance when needed.

Freshman Gets
Busy Perusing
Noah Webster
There's a freshman in Norman
high school studying a diction-
ary. lie admits that when he
graduated from grammar school
and entered high school he
thought he knew about all there
is to know.
City Judge Munden of Okla-
homa City taught him a new
meaning for the word "sus-
pended" yesterday and because
he didn't know it, he almost spent
$5 wastefully.
lie was "pickcd up" in Okla-
homa City for improperly park-
ing his Ford and ha led into
court. There were extenuating
circumstances and Judge Mun-
den said: "Five dollars fine,
suspended."
With a downcast face the
youth dug into his pocket and
produced a crumpled V.
"I said suspended" said the
judge. ,
"What's that mean?" asked the
boy. , . .
"Gosh," he exclaimcd when
told, "I thought he meant 1 was
suspended from school beside
being fined."
A happy smile wreathed his
face as he left.

j shooting many goals from difficult
angles in the middle of the court
' Center Waite also played the field

! mage and scored three field goals,
i Guard Waite prevented the Aggies
! from running up a larger score by
i constant alertness and steady play-
i ing.

i of court knowledge. It was their
first game of the season and the
' first game for many of their players.
! They had hard luck in hitting baskets
! but played the field well.
[ The Kansans have played several
( games and really considered the Ok-
