UPHTXnU EPIDEMIC FEME!
Three cases of diphtheria have
been re|>orted by Dr. Barnett,
one of which proved fatal. The
8 year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Win. Schafller and the 10
and 12 year old daughtsrsof Mr.
and Mrs. Martin Rauh were tak-
en with the disease last Sunday,
but as is usual, with the first cases
of diphtheria in a neighborhood,
it was supposed to be a little cold
and sore throat or tonsilitis, and
the doctor was not called as
promptly as he should have been.
The 10 year old child of Mr. and
Mrs. Rauh succummed to the
disease this morning but the oth-
er two cases are getting along
nicely and Dr. Barnett says he
believes they will both recover.
He used the antitpxin treat-
ment in all of the cases, but on
account of being called so late,
the remedy is not nearly so spec-
ific as when used in the early
atages.
Dr. Barnett is taking every
precaution to prevent an epidem-
ic. He ordered the schools at
Hitchcock closed for the remain-
der of the week and is having the
building and out houses thor
oughly disenfected and fumigat-
ed. He is isolating all cases and
believes the danger of an epidem-
ic is small.
We would urge all persons
having children, to have them
.treated with antitoxin, which
renders them immune from the
disease for thirty days and caus
es the child no inconvenience.
COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE URSED
WR1 YOU ACCEPT
This is a progressive age. An
age when men doing things.
Even the hills, mountains, seas
and air do not baffle them in
their onward march. Canals and
tunnels are being dug; marvel-
ous flights are being made
through the air; distance is prac-
tically eliminated through the
“fllyer, wireless and aeroplane.”
As a result of these, and many
other modern achievements, hun-
dreds of new enterprises'are be
ing launched.
Now these many hundreds of
firms will need presidents, vice-
presidents, managers, and office
assistants. One of the best ways
in the world to become one of
these high salaried officers or of-
fice assistants, if you have not
the money to purchase a large
block of stock, is to make an in
vestment of only $50, $95, $135
and three and one half or five and
one half months of your time in
a first-class bookkeeping,- short-
hand, or telegraphy course and
you will be in line for these ex-
cellent positions.
We are helping many young
men and women on to successful
business careers. We are re-
ceiving calls continually from
firms throughout this and other
states for our graduates. We
need you as one of our graduates
to fill one of these positions.
Will you let us assist you? Write
the Capital City Business Col-
lege, Guthrie, Okla., for a copy
of their large illustrated catalog,
or for any information you may
desire.__

the school law, in reference to

under sixteen years of age to
school for a term not less than
sixjnonths. He says there ar<*

who are in the habit of keeping

WEATHER REPORT

season came last Sunday night
and the first blizzard occurred
Tuesday afternoon, at which time
we were visited by a blinding
snow storm, together with a cold
wind, lasting about an hour, fol
lowed at night wHh a pretty hard
freeze. The weather, at time of
going to press, is fine.

SCHOOL MOTES
The enrollment is 191.
Examinations are in evidence
again.
Clara Spaeth was absent from
school Monday.
Harrey Galligan entered high
school Monday.
Georgia Blehm visited the up-
per intermediate room Tuesday.
Minnie Schenk, of Anadardo^
Okla., is enrolled in the primary
room.
Misses Marie and Ollie Wens-,
ler visited the different rooms
Friday.
Little Hilda Crispense is not in
school, onaccountof trouble with
with her eyes.
Violet and Carl Wick, served
dainty refreshments to' their
teachers Thursday noon.
Mildred and Carrie Harnett
have bee$ absent from school the
past week, on account of sick
ness.
The members of the bookkeep-
ing class are trying to discover
their gain or loss in the grain
business.
The little people are taking
their first steps in manual train-
ing. They are delighted with
the work.
The high school boys have a
standing challenge to the town
boys to a game of basket ball on
thehi&h school court.
An enthusiastic crowd witness-
ed the game between the boys
and girls Saturday night. The
score was 29 to 10 in favor of the
boys.
Seventh and eighth grade pu-
pils neither absent nor tardy to
than Monday, Nov. 3, which is
the latest date in order to get six
months school this term. We
conyuend Mr. Loy’s grit in this
matter. It has been the voice of
the people at the annual school
meetings for several years, thnt
the compulsory term be six
months in this district, and the
law bears them out in this matter,
and it is the duty of the school
board, under a heavy penalty, to
see that this law is enforced, and
Mr. Loy says he would rather in-
cur the displeasure of a few per-
sons than to lay himself liable to
prosecution. He says that if the
parties having children over six
and under 16, do not send then*
children to school the remainder
of this term, he will report them
to the eounty attorney and prose-
cute them. All former school
boards have let this matter go
by default. It is a notorious fact
that certain persons commercial-
ize the labor of their children on
the grounds that they need then-
help in order to make a living for
the family. Mr. Loy says that if
this is true, the county will re
munerate the family for the time
taken to send the children to
school.
