GAlEft SAYS WEEOS
BE CUT NEXT WEEK
Wild Animals Could Find ate Hiding
Place On Vacant Lots Here,
City Manager Reports.
i
"Weed p:uclies On >ome lots are so
high that fierce wild animals could
lair and hunt there for years without
ever being disc&vcred," asserted W.
R. Gater, city manager, ">with laugh-
ingly exaggeration. He continued
seriously.
"No excuse can be given for not
having them cut. We are running a
weed cutting bureau at the city hall
and all who really want weeds cut
can get some one sent out by phon-
ing here."
Any one wanting to do weed cut-
ting may apply at the office of the
city manager at the city hall.
Week's Time Left
Word that only the present week
will be given for property owners to
get their tares laid low at cost. Next
week a man of the street department
will be taken from that work and
sent out to cut the weeds that remain
standing, it was announced Friday.
Now weeds can be cut at cost. Next
week the city man will do the job and
the charge filed in the treasurer's
office will be cost plus 25 percent,
according to Norman city ordinance,
he stated.
TIGER-PIRATE GAME
WON BY THE TIGERS
Fifth Inning Not Finished When
Tigers Win Six to Four
And Quit.
Tigers scratched out ahead of the
Pirates by two runs garnered without
a loss in the fifth and the game broke
up amid jollification over a 6 to 4
score for the Van Dyke men. Such
was Wednesday's game of the city
league at City park.
Carey and Meyer scored in the first
half of the second for the Pirates and
McClain tallied again in the third.
This must have caused the Tigers to
see r%<! for a brief time because Mc-
Elhaney. Rutherford and Bowles
skirted the square in the third which
added to Tucker's mark in the second
totaling four and giving the tig cats
a lead of 1.
Base stealing seemed to be the chief
delight of runners on both sides,
Tucker of Van's Tigers leading with
three although pressed closely by his
team mates Johnson and Bowles and
by McClain and Hill of the opposi-
tion all of whom swiped two per.
Strike-outs are nine to seven in fa-
vor of the Tigers, who also made the
best showing in errors making four
to their ipi onents five.
Score by innings:
TIGERS 013 02—6
021 10—4

COAT OF PAINT ADDS
GREATLY TO LOOKS
More than one hundred attend-
ants are on duty all of the time
at Oklahoma state hospital and
more than that were wondering
Friday how they could get a chance
I to register for voting in the com-
j ing elections.
The hospital is just behind the
j corporation limits of Norman
which forces people living there
to go to the farm of Elmer Stines
registrar in precinct 9 (2) west,
( who lives .four mile- north and
three quarters east.or Norman.
Mr st of these workers at the
hospital have no conveyance in
which to make the trip and it is
thought that Stines is "too busy
| farming to be able to sign up
everybody at the hospital him-
| self.
Possibly the situation will be
met by County Assessor W. E.
Barnard who is deputy registrar.
He and another deputy \fore_ in-
tending to make the trip out for
signatures Friday morning if
something else did not prevent.

FORMER BAKER MERE
* SAYS NORMAN GROWS
The Transcript is gradually re-
covering from the effects of a new
coit of paint which was given the
building the past week by the Nor-
man Decorating company of which
R. H. Shannon and W. H. Manning
are the active members.
Inside and out, paint covers up the
dirty places and the big sign above
the awning has bee completely
obliterated.
Besides giving the place a neater
appearance, it also lightens the in-
side of the house and workmen can
now do their day's work by natural
light instead of turning on the
"juice."
Miss Martha Taylor will leave
Saturday morning with Lexington
friends for Colorado by*automobile.
The registration books close at 11
o'clock tonight. Be sure and get
your name on the books.

"We get more money than some
and less than some, of course; but we
may conic out with more than most
others in the end," stated T. E. Head
ley, baker from Eastland, Texas in
speaking of his line of endeavor.
Headley declared that Norman has
grown, paved, improved and built
| up generally a "whole lot" since he
was here about a year and a half
ago. He was quite surprised to see
its growth.
i He was in Norman Thursday visit-
ing Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Headley, his

Making Shaving Easy
The Penn Adjustable Safety
Razor is built to make shaving
easy around the corners and
creases of ears and nose.
Penn Double-Bevel Blades
give the easiest shave because
the extra bevel causes the razor
to glide over the skin instead of
digging into it.
If the Penn Adjustable Razor
doesn't give easy, fine-feeling
shaves, return it and get yqur
money back.
Penn Adjustable Razor Sets may be purchased
from dealers at $5.00, $7.50 and $10.00.
