NEXT COMES CHRISTMAS!
TUST four weeks from yesterday will be the anniversary of the greatest event of the world—the
birth of Christ and the beginning of the Christmas Era—a season of peace on earth and good
will to men—a season when the civilized world lays aside the Strenuousness of the balance of the
year and joyously takes a part in the great international game of "swap" that has become a cus-
tom in modern times, and family, relatives, loved ones and friends are remembered with some
useful and ornamental token of esteem.
We Have a Houseful of
practical holiday presents

COMMISSION IS
AFTER FIGURES
SEEK BASIS FOR FIXING OF
FREIGHT RATES.
Supreme Court Sent Back Many Ca-
ses for the Procuring of More
Definite Information.
Guthrie, Okla.. Nov. 27.—The third
day of the corporation commission
hearing to get at railroad values in
Oklahoma came to an end here to-
night with Vice President Gray of
the Frisco, the second witness to be
examined, still on the stand. Ihe
hearing probably will last two weeks
more.
The information which the corpo-
ration commission is seeking will be
the basis for fixing all future freight
rates in Oklahoma. The exact in-
formation desired is the actual cost
and values of all railroads in the
state; thy cost of maintenance and
operation; the earnings and a rea-
sonable profit. Of course, there must
also be a segregation of interstate
and intrastate business.
These figures were required by the
supreme court in o recent decision
referring back to the commission tO
or (H) freight rate cases, with direc-
tions that the data be obtained and
certified back to the court for pass-
ing on the justness of the rates made
by the commission.
In the past, the corporation com-
mission has made and adjusted rates
without such information, making its
rates on a comparison with the rates
of neighboring states. For an ex-
ample, they would take the rates of
Texas, Arkansas. Ijouisiana, Missouri
and Kansas on lumber, comjtound and
average these, and after a hearing
from the railroads in which some
charges might he made, publish a
new tariff. They did not take into
eonsideration except in a general way
Oklahoma valuation* or railroad earn-
ings. This procedure the supreme
court's order practically abolishes.
In the future, Oklahoma freight rates
must be baaed on actual values, earn-
ings and profits on Oklahoma rail-
roads and business, and it is to get
these figures that the present exten-
sive hearing is being held.
The hearing will also be of value
to the corporation commission in
getting at the actual condition of
Oklahoma railroads fighting the two
cent passenger rate and other rate
orders.

Croup is most prevalent during the
dry cold weather of the early winter
months. Parents of young children
should be prepared for it. All that
is needed is a bottle of Chamberlain'j
Cough Remedy. Many mothers are
never without it in their homes and
it Las never disappointed them. Sold
by all dealers.
FOWLERS SURPRISED
K. L. S. Took Possession of Their
Family Home
The Knights and Ladies of Security
an enjoyable time on Thursday night.
About 30 members met and marching
in a body with plenty of good things
to eat to the home of H. E. Fowler,
in South Virginia avenue, found that
the occupants had retired for the
night. The K. L. S. made themselves
known and were given a hearty wel-
come.
The entire Fowler family are mem-
bers of the order and on the occasion
mentioned left nothing undone /or
the visitors to have a good time. T'le
24th being the wedding anniversary
of Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, and the ar-
rival of their son and daughter who
had been attending business college
in Iola, word was sent by K. L. 8. to
come on this particular date, thereby
making a double surprise.
The evening was one of perfect en-
joyment; music, game* and delicious
lunch, while Mr. and Mrs. Fowler
were the recipients of some nice pres-
ents sent by friends at Iola. Among
the present* was a Japanese set of
cups and baucers given by Security
Club.
The surprise was perfect and the
event wan another bright remem-
.brance for K. L. B., of which no or-
'dsr in town has better times.
Nearly every one is looking for the
best of it! and here's where the con-
troversy about honesty comes in.
