impressive service
today in honor men
who fought in '65
craves decorated and
memory honored of com-
rades who have gone.
Memorial day services were held at
the Odd Fellow cemetery this morn-
ing, with fourteen veterans of the G.
A. R. present. The Albert Carter
post formerly numbered ISO mem-
Lets, but only fourteen remain. Be-
tween forty and fifty of the veterans
ate buried in the cemetery here.
The remaining veterans ar Messrs
Wright, Hakstein, DeLong, Kuhlman
iKimbail, Barnett. Flesher, Mayabb
and Stalder.
Ralph Hardie was the master of
ceremonies and avery appropriate
and interesting program was render-
ed under hic direction.
Invocation was pronouced by Rev.
W. L. Broome. A quyjtet. composed
of Messrs. Hardie, J. R. Hinshaw, A.
E. Thomas, and N. E. VVolford, sang
"Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp
Ground."
Hardie then introduced President
Stratton D. Brooks, who read the de-,
coratiou proclamation issued by Gen-1
eral John A. Logan, commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. This was followed by the
reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg Ad-
dress by Mr. Hardie.
To deliver the day's address, the
post had selected a man who comes
from overseas, a mati who fought in
the Boer war, born of foreign parents
and a man who took an active part
as chaplin in the late World war—
Rev. G. J. Rousseau.
Reverend Rousseau took for his
subject, "America's Mission to the
World." stating that he came to this
country because he could here find
a safe anchorage, and full personal
liberties.
Fought for Liberty.
He took up the Biblical rulers, dis-
cussing their reigns and aims of all
conflicts, saying that in all of Amer-
ica's wafs, no selfish motive could
be found behind the difficulty. "In
1776 we fought to gain freedom from
England, who had oppressed us. In
1812 we again fought England for the
freedom of the seas.
"In the civil war God again was
on the right side. The south had
just as brave soldiers and men as the
republic, but J3od_.was on the right
side.

... announcing that
we have accepted the
agency for the B. P. S.
(Best Paint Sold) line
of paints and varnishes,
we wish to call atten-
tion to some of the
superiorities of i3. P. S.
Paints.
We are confident that after you give this paint
a trial you will agree that this paint is properly named.
The B. P. S. Paint company have a patent on a
method of using a small number of base colors, and the
user may mix them and make any of thirty-tive
shades and colors.
You will find this a decided advantage in secur-
ing exactly the color or shade you want, and it is so
simple that there is no possibility of making a mis-
take in mixing.
We took this agency on the recommendation of
several of the best painters in Norman who have
used this brand of paint for many years and we know
that with this method of mixing, and the fact that
B. P. S. Paints will cover more space and last tor
years, retaining the original color, you will find is
a very economical and satisfactory paint.
Come, see the extensive color charts, and get
prices. Though your job may be small or large, we
know you will find satisfaction here in both qual ty
and price.
