Woodmen thrive, by the winning of
the first prize, a beautiful loving cup
valued at $100, for best in discipline
contest, regarded as the best prize in
the whSte proceedings. Little Rock
got first in competetive field drill and
Oklahoma City second with Caddo
third . Sergeant Homer McComb,
member of Co. I, Norman, was j*iven
first prize in individual drill, getting a
beautiful gold medal over forty or
more competitors. Col. E. Z. Crow-
dus of Dallas was drillmaster and
judge in this contest and commended
Mr. McComb very highly. Second
place in this contest went to Sergeant
Raymond Gardner of the Caddo team,
and third to Corporal J. A. Yeates of
Oklahoma City.
In the discipline contest the general
conduct'of the members of a team in
and about quarters, observance of
about the buildings and all over the
campus, J. E. Cravens, the landscape
artist, has made everything beautiful
and attractive, and the lawns along
the streets leading to the campus
have been in most part put in fine
shape. The students will certainly
find a scene that will put vigor and
confidence and energy into them—foi,
after all, it is your thoughts that
make for your cussess, and these
scenes cannot but put the best of
thoughts into the beholder. And,
down town the beautiful parks and
many improvements add to the attrac-
tiveness.
Dozens of families are coming in
and getting settled, and real esta„~
men say the demand for desirable
homes surpasses any former year.
So, every prospect pleases, and the

A PSALM OF GRATITUDE
"For all that God in mercy sends,
For health and children, home and friends.
For comfort in the time of need,
For every kindly word and deed,
For happy thoughts and holy talk,
For guidance in our daily walk,
For everything, give thanks.
For beauty in this world of ours,
For verdant grass and beautiful flowers,
For song of birds, for hum of bees,
For the refreshing summer breeze;
For hill and plain,'for streams and wood,
For the great ocean's mighty flood,
For everything, give thanks.
For the sleep which comes, along with night,
For the returning morning light,
For the radiant sun that shines on high,
For the stars that glitter in the sky;
For these and everything we see,
O, Lord! our hearts we lift to Thee,
For everything, give thanks."
ENCOURAGEMENT
Great is encouragement, what ills it has conquered. It does
not matter what your trouble or burden may be, a kind and
encouraging word often goes far to lighten the load. You may
feel that you have been singled out by "Fate" and that no one
ever had to suffer what you are suffering, to bear what you
have to bear. A moment's reflection, however, will convince you
that multitudes have passed along the same steep and rough
road and that thousands are travelling rougher roads than you
have travelled and need the helping hand right now. Stretch out
your hand and give the call ar.d you will know that you have
companions. Speak to one or two you find near and you will
know that yours is not the hardest lot. Give encouragement
where you can and encouragement will also be yours.—H. C.
Martin.

The wolf drive held on the river
south of the University last night
was a failure insofar as any wolves
were killed or captured. There were
about twenty-five horsemen, ten or
fifteen automobiles and a large num-
ber of footmen gathered together j
with some,35 hounds, but owing to the '
dry, tinderlike and crackling condi- j
tions, the hounds were unable to get
the scent and trail the wolves, so the
drive was abandoned. The promoters
of the drive expect to put on another
one as soon as it rains.
Those wolves need not think they
are immune; the boys wili get 'em,
sooner or later. Charlie Schirck says
so and he knows.

orchestra from Oklahoma City fur-
nished the music for the round dances,
tangoes, two-steps and waltzes, while
Jeff Gibbs and Theo. Jenson were
"fiddlers" for the "squares." It took
sometime to overcome the bashfulness
of the ladies to appear in public, but
from 10 to 12 o'clock the fun and
frolic waxed fast and furious. The
Norman Electrical comoany had fur-
nished lights that made the street like
day, and the paved street made a fine
dancing floor. The square from the
railroad to Peters was a perfect
mass of people, and many from Okla-
homa City and surrounding towns
were present.
