NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Is Completed and Nearly Ready to Be
Turned Over by the Contractors
—A Beautiful Edifice
From Tuesday's Daily.
The new Presbyterian church is
nearly completed; ready, as soon as
some finishing touches are given, to
be turned over to the First Presby-
terian denomination.
And it is a beautiful edifice, impress-
ing all beholders that it is just what
^ | a church building should be, drawn on
^! symetrical lines and an example of
^ I the best in architectural church work.
It has the look of a church, both ex-
terior and interior, and will be a de-
lightful home for the Presbyterian
people.
The building is 65x70 feet outside
measurement, and the auditorium is
40x60 feet. The main entrance is on j
the northwest corner, and entrance J
« into the auditorium is gained up a
, wide flight of steps into the vestibule,
which is surmounted by a tower. A
| fine basement set in concrete and
. . , ,, ... , , ! with cement floor is under the whole!
It is estimated there will be from building. This is for class rooms,

POINTED PARAGRAPHS
To pay compliments is much easier than to pay debts.
To nave what you want is wealth; to do without it power
In order to win success a man must first faill in love with
his work.
The world has no time for a visionary man—until after he
gets there.
All men are anxious for fame, but some will accept money as
a substitute.
Education is a good thing, provided it does not unfit a man
for honest labor.
It isn't always safe to bump up against a train of thought
when it's in motion.
When a meek man marries a strenuous woman he soon dis-
covers that he is outclassed.
Think twice before extracting the mighty dollar from your
pocket to invest in a get-rich'quick proposition.
When you finally get next to the fact that you don't know
much, stop talking and give others a chance to put you wise.

Dear Home Folks;
ment of the Uniform Rank of Wood-
men of the World for the states of
Oklahoma and Arkansas. It opens on
Tuesday and lasts until Saturday, and
drill teams will begin to arrive Sun-
day nd Monday. Several bands will
be here to discourse sweet music, and
a real gala occasion will result.
The visiting teams will be housed in
tents on the campus of the University,
right south of Dr. Brook's residence,
and that part will be covered with the
tents. Several carloads of equipment
will arrive today—tents, tent poles,
cooking utensils, etc. The state or-
ganizations pay the expenses of the
meeting, and something like $5,000
has been appropriated for that pur-
pose
The drills will be held on Boyd
Field, in front of the grand stand, and
will be competed for by a large num-
ber of teams. The prizes offered are
large and numerous.
Brig. General Bradshaw of Little
Rock, Ark., will be in command.
The big day will be Wednesday,
when the Sovereign Grand Officers
will all be here from Omaha. Nebr.,
to inspect the camp and make talks
to the boys.
MR. OSCAR STECKEL WRITES
COMMUNITY PRIDE
Community pride is an asset, and it is one of the greatest
of all assets. The town that improves its streets, cleans up the
alleys, paints the houses, cuts the grass, rakes the lawns and
plants its flowers is not only encouraging cleanliness, but is
making for itself a name among the peoples of the other world.
Commercial travelers and others come and look, and go away
and talk-—and the talk is all in favor of the town and its people.
Talk travels, and grows, and multiplies until the town becomes
known in many climes for its cleanliness and progressiveness
In time other men who are looking for a change of location

hear of this town—and then they go, and look, and talk, and are
pleased, and it becomes their home. And the town continues to
expand and progress and as the years roll by it gradually as-
sumes larger proportions and a more commanding and dominat-
ing position in the world.
When community pride comes in prosperity enters by its
side, and the two become the. mighty levers that control the ma-
chinery of success. Personal pride and community pride should
march side by side, for when these two pote.it factors join hands
in a laudable purpose opposition quickly melts away.

ROY FOSTER KICKED BY HORSE
Roy Foster, the 19-year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Foster, was kick-
ed by a horse early Sunday morning,
over on the ranch near Newcastle, and
one of his ribs broken. It was thought
for a time he was badly injured, but
he is resting easy now and it is hoped
he will recover rapidly. The horse's
hoof hit him in the small of the back,
just above the hip. Roy's many Nor-
man friends will deeply sympathise
with him and hope for his speedy re-
covery.
