Pauls Valley Wins 8 to 4; Play Re- plans and put on an exhibition which Norman Man Is Highly Praiwed by
turn Game Here Friday; Score
Three in First
Pauls Valley put it over the "Jun-
iors" with a score of 8 to 4 the larg-
er part of which was run in during a
hard luck storm that hit the Norman
bunch in the fifth inning, netting their
opponents five runs in the game play-
ed on the Pauls Valley diamond yes-
terday, according to Frank Starkey,
chairman of the baseball committee.
The Norman aggregation scored
three times in, the first inning and
rested easy until the opposing nine
tied them in the third. Things were
nip and tuck itntil the invaders got
bit trying to weather the stormy
fifth.
"Skivey" Davis, pitcher, did not
seem to be up to his usual form. The
opposing pitcher did not make any
very brilliant showing, however, so
the juniors did not suffer from any
disparity of hurling strength, it is
understood.

was bieathlessly watched by many of
Normn's citizens.
Climbing around on the wings and
on top of the them while the plane
was over athousand feet in the air is
only a small feature of Oakley's per-
formance. Standing on his head on
the top wing is his favorite pastime,
he explained.
Many of the citzens went out to the
landing field near the cemetery and
tried a ten-minute flight.

The following taken from the Ne-
braska Daily News of last Thurs-
day, June 17. needs no comment from
the Transcript.
Judge F. B. Swank, of Norman, Ok-
lahoma, one of the leading men of
that section of the state, and who
has been Head Consul of the jurisdic-
tion of the Woodmen of the World
Executive committee, and also by the
way. candidate for congressman in
the Fifth congressional district in
that state, is here attending the trial
of the Woodmen of the World rate
case before Judge Button.
He is chairrpan of the Oklahoma
W. O. W. Executive committee, who
is directing the fight against the
head camp officers in their effort to
make a radical raise in their asses-
ment rates.
Although financially unable to bear
the expense incident to the trip here
and time lost, he is here without pay
and on his own expense. He says
that he would rather win this case
than go to congress. He has been
taking an active part in the trial and
he is one of the leaders of those who
are here and there are many bright
lights here.
Judge Swank is an old timer in his
district and has been active, f"r many
years, against the management of
W. A. Fraser of the affairs of the
Woodmen of the World and is strong
against the raise of the proposed
rates. The people of the Oklahoma
jurisdiction havereason to be proud
of such a man and the W. O. W.
members for the interest he has taken
in this cause for the benefit of the
members of that order.

Honesty in Advertising
Yon have heard some people read an adver-
tisement and then say:
"I don't believe it."
Once upon a time they might have been
right, for dishonest people have advertised.
But there are two good reasons why practic-
ally all advertising today is honest.
One reason is that no good
newspaper will print dis-
honest advertising.
The other reason is that ex-
perience has pro\ tiiat

A merchant or manufactur-

for the goods mentioned. To
