Norman on business last Wednesday.
He carried with him the general ap'

the Judge secured quite a reputation

tributes his success in this line as
having something to do with his de-
feat for the office of probate judge.
The worst of it all is, the Judge
says, he was not entitled to the credi^

Cease and the boys.
The Norman lumber dealers have
made the discovery that they can sell
lumber cheap ;r if pressed by com-
petition. A new yard opening up in
town has produced a lumber war and
prices have tumbled down all the
way from $2.00 to $5.00 on the 1000
feet. Men who have lumber to buy
would not care if several new lumber
yards would start up if it would re-
sult in bringing down the price.
The dealers say, however, that at
present prices lumber men won't
grow financially robust handling

There is some talk of the town of
Norman erecting a large dining hall
near the University where students in
the institution can take their meals
and cost to them will be only what
food costs and the expense of prepar-
ing and serving the same. Such an
arrangement we have no doubt would
result in reducing the cost of living
to students and at the same time be
served with food suited to student
life. The idea is not a new one; but
we think it a good one and the Com-
mercial Club of Norman might give
it some consideration. We think the
building of such a hall might result
in a very large increase of attend-
ance in the school for the expense of
board is quite an item in determining
where student shall attend school. It
is usually not a very difficult matter
for people to furnish rooms for stu-
dents, but when it comes to finding
places for them to get their meals at
prices students can afford to pay, it
is quite different. The universal rule
in college towns is that boarding stu-
dents does not pay very well and for
this reason students usually have to
board in clubs where the number helps
to increase profits in the business.

one to hear her.
Dr. Threadgill and family will

will be greatly missed on the streets
of Norman, especially about mail
time. The doctor always seemed to
be in a cheery humor and he delighted
to make every body around him feel
cheerful and gay. This trait in the
doctor, doubtless, depends his great
success in handling the inmates of
the asylum. He knew them all by
their first name and was always
ready to greet them in a manner
calculated to suit their peculiar case
and every inmate in the institution
was always clad to see him and it
made no difference how often he
visited them in the course of a day.

Some of the members of the Norman
City Council are showing a degree of
irritableness at the aggressive work
taken by the women in this city to
suppress vice. They probably belong
to the class of old mossbacks. who on
every occassion talk learnedly about
what they consider woman's proper
sphere and that sphere a very cir-
cumscribed one. These remnants of
a past age will probably awake from
their Rip Van Winkle sleep after a
time, and behold that 2<ith century
civilization recognizes that woman s
sphere is very much the same as that
of man's and that her rights as a
unit of society are equal to that of
man and right in demanding that
they be granted toiler. The present
city council had better not get too
gay for they have a determined set j
of women to deal with and who are |
going to speak and speak louder
until they are heard.
