~ WHY RUCKER'S BIG SALE?
J W. N. Rucker TJTs Reasons for
i Knocking Bottom Out of
Prices—Don't Carry
Over Out-of-
Season
Goods
I J
I Many people have asked the
J i.st few days why the Rucker's i
t Cash Store was cutting and j
' ; lashing prices to such a great j
! xtent and what '.hey hoped to
gain by it. The reason is that
Mr. Rucker has an iron clad rule
never to carry any out-of-season
goods. He prefers to sell at any
old price and stock up with new
goods rather than carry any-
thing over. On account of this,
the buying folks of Norman and
Cleveland county are given a
splendid opportunity to save a
big per cent on their purchases
and they have not been slow to
take advantage of tl}e chance,
the women folks are wondering
and guessing how it can be done
and those who are unable to at-
tend the sale are telephoning
their orders to the store and
shopping by proxy. All past re-
| cords of value are forgotten and
! new standards have been set.
I The fact that Rucker buys for
| six stores enables him to buy
for less money and with the big
| reductions made during this sale |
| the buyers are given a treat
' which is enough 1o cause a great
| deal of excitement.
See his big adv in this issue.
| He is sure offering bargains.

Jas. R. Lawrence Appointed
W. D. Bentley, who has charge
in Oklahoma of the Federal
farm demonstration work, came
down from Oklahoma City to-
day and ratified the appointment
of Jas. R. Lawrence as farm
demonstrator for Cleveland
county made by the Board of
County Commissioners last
week. He is said to hav*1 been
most favorably inioressed with
Mr. Lawrence, believing bin to
be especially qualified for the
work. All who have met Mr.
Lawrence feel the same way;
that he is a capable, competent
man.
The salary will probably be
$:'.0 per month, half of which is
to be paid by Cleveland county
and half by the Federal govern-1
ment.
Mr. Lawrence will move to j
Norman from his farm on Route!
6 and take up the work immedi- (

call your attention to this mat-
faithful to the trust reposed in
him by the people. The charge
has been made that he has not
fathered legislation of note, and
it is a fact that the senator has
not burdened the senate with a
batch of bills like some men do,
and it must be remembered
that half of the bills introduced
into a legislative body are for
campaign purposes only. The
senator has not stooped to that
However, when
those holding opposite views to
the senator, they are handicap-
ped by a militant bunch of poli-
tical wolves who have sought to
defame the senator for no other
reason than he did not see his
way clear to recommend some of
them for positions of high place,
and those enemies of Gore are
not making much headway to-
the
schools of the east side of the
state and that money has been
so appropriated, serving a useful
and righteous purpose."

Clyde Pickard's Sentiments
Clyde Pickard has the follow-
ing motto facing him at his real
estate desk:
"Smile, and the world smiles
with you,
Kick, and you kick alone,
For the cheerful grin will let
you in
Where the kicker is never
known."
And Clyde lives up to it.
You'll always find him with a
"cheerful grin."
Writes from Plains. Ga.
Warren Bishop, who lived on j
one of Mr. M. Turner's places,
went to Plains, Ga., a week or j
two ago, to farm. He is not. |
satisfied with Ceorgia or Ceor- j
gia people and longs for Olckaho- j
ma, saying he will be back just
as soon as he can get loose down j
there. He says there are three
negroes to one white man in his
locality, and they do their farm-1
irg with little walking plows. |
"I sure do wish T was in Oklaho-
ma and had my horses back," he
writes. "This is a large place I
live on," he writes, "and there
are eight negro families and
four whites on it. They work the
negroes like slaves paying them
$13 per month and board them-
selves. Hay is $30 per ton, corn
$1.10 per bushel, flour $3.00 per
cwt. and meat 13c per pound."

are in s, quandary. Thinking
they wfere going to leave Nor-
man, they recently sold their
home to Prof. J. R. Hale for
$2400, and are now without a
home. W. C. is trying to get
Mr. Hale to sell back to him, but
the latter don't like the idea. The
Smiths fixed up the home just
^ to suit them, and to now get out
t and make another home rather
