\ few weeks past, we had the-
pleasure of spending a certain Sat-
urday night in Tulsa. We were-
awakened about 4:30 o'clock Sun-
day morning by a newsboy in front
of the hotel at which we /ere*
slaying by his cry of "Tulsa Morn-
ing W.o.r.l.d" and no more sleep
was had by us that morning. We
returned to our home in Pragute
Sunday evening and thought nt
more about the matter until Mon-
day morning, when we were aguin
awakened by the familiar cry and
we thought we were still in Tulsa,
but after a few minutes more of
wakefulness we soon discovered tha<
apparently every rooster in Prague
was crying out from his domicile
the same thing the newsboy did in
front of the hotel, "Tulsa Mornings
W o r 1 d." The World is sure get-
ting a lot of free advertising from
the roosters in this town. If you
doubt it, listen to the next rooster
you hear crow, especially in the
early morning hours when sleep isi
the sweetest.
