CHAMPIONS
With Defeat of McAlester Mon-
day, Local High School Team,
Gets the Pennant.
Those who saw the game of
base hall Monday between the
McAlester high school and Harts-
horne high school probably—un-
doubtedly witnessed the last
game to be played by the present
high school team. The high scool
team quits with a fine record of
tot only defeating every team
in their class, but also winning
the school championship of Pitts-
burg and Latimer counties. They
have played twelve games this
year and have only lost two.
The team owes it all to Joe Mc-
Neil who was their manager and
Man'M coach.

The Facts In
the Case
That $19,000 Guaranty Fund Of the State
of Oklahoma is now tied up by an order of court
and cannot be used to pay deposits of insolvent
state banks, but the assets of the First National
Bank, together with its stockholders liability, in
all. amounting to $339,511.89 is not subject to
court orders or assessments by the state banking
board and every cent in this fund guarantees
your deposit in the First National Bank.

assets of its own to make its depositors safe, and one
that is not affected by the reckless banking of others—

to Popular Young Ladies.
This week we announce the
opening of our Popular Voting
Contest. Full particulars con-
cerning the contest will be found
on page five of this issue. Th"
Sun desires that all of our read-
ers in this and adjoining com-
munities make themselves fami-
liar with the working principle
of ihis Great Free Contest,
Every lady who enters will bo
treated with exact fairness. In
the strict adherence to 1'eae
Rules and Regulations lies the
preservation of The Sun's good
name, which we have worked so
hard to establish.
This contest will benefit this
town and community as a whole.
It is our belief that it will cause
more new trade to come here
than any other enterprise that
has been carried out in years.
Every contestant and every read-
er who assists us in making this
contest a big success, helps to
increase the value of every dol-
lar's worth of real cstnte within
tin; circle reached by this publi-
cation.
There is no mystery or secret
about this Contest. What we
most desire is to introduce this
paper into every home. While
we already have the largest paid
up circulation in Pittsburg coun-
ttty outside of McAlester, we
know by doubling this list wo
can give double value to our
many advertising patrons and in
this and many other ways help
to build up this town and coun-
ty to the high standard they
should hold in the state.
The editor has always been
conservative in such matters, and
we have carefully calculated on
the cost and outcome of this pro-
position. We want the largest
list of readers in the county and
if hustle and hard work, coupled
with horse sense and a consider-
able amount of generosity will
get it, we are going after it. An
equal determination on the part
of several young ladies will make
them owners of the many valu-
able prizes without the outlay
of a dollar.
Make arrangements to get in-
terested in this contest early. We
believe that every young lady
who enters and gets out and
makes an honest effort to win
the first prize, will be a winner
for the effort she puts forth,
whether she gets first place or
not. We grow by the efforts we
put forth. Work of this kind
broadens and strengthens our
character, makes us self-reliant
and equips us better for the bat-
tles of life.
