crops are all a failure down that way.

An I. W. W. invasion, or an inva-
sion from any other clan of anarch-
ists, will not catch the farmers across
the river napping. Practically every
man who lives on that side of the
jriiver is taking precautionary meas-
| ures, according to the hardware deal-
[ers of Norman, by purchasing Win-
chester rifles, revolvers and amuni-
tion.
According to the story told by these
farmers, rumors of the threatened
attack have become too thick to suit
I them and they decided to get things
j in shipshape should these rumors
prove true.
| What the idea for a contemplated
I attack at this time means, these men
j are unable to understand inasmuch as
the preliminary work incidental to
the selective draft is over. The de-
I struction of the oncoming crops to
j prevent the farmers over there from
| doing their share toward feeding the
nation and assist in winning the war
I is the only reason they can see for
! an invasion at this time.
"They will wish they had looked
after their own crops," said one man,
"if thoy should try any of their tricks
on us."
—Born: Mr. and Mrs. John Newby
of Oklahoma City rejoice over the ar-
rival of a son, who came to them on
Saturday, August 11, 1917. It was
their first born, and was therefore
doubly welcome. All parties doing
nicely.
—If you have not already invested
in Cleveland County Development
stock, get in quick, for it is going
rapidly. See J. M. Smith, at Vincent
& Muldrow's office. It is still $10 per
share, and every Norman man should
invest.
—McCall's Through Moving: Last
night saw the finish of the moving
of the big stock of goods of McCall's
Dry Goods store and from now on the
entire force, along with the carpenters
and decorators will be engaged in the
task of getting the new establishment
in shape to take care of the large
fall trade. Just when the big opening
will take place is indefinite at this
time, but the many patrons of the
store are assured that it will not be
delayed many days longer.
