County School Notes
1 he county has been divided into
eleven districts, for the purpose of
holding Directors', Patrons' and.
Teachers' Meetings. By dividing the
county in small districts it will give
each school officer, patron and teach-
er an opportunity to attend with in
a short distance. The first meeting
has been called by the chairman of
the school officers association, M. B
Fulkerson and Superintendent Mc-
Donald for November, 17th. There
will be programs sent to each dis-
trict.
Miss Carrie Conn teacher of dis-
trict number 23 returned home from
New Mexico last Wednesday. Ik.
school will commence next Monday.
Mi s bailie Long has been employ-
ed to teach in district number 38
Misses Aline James, Ethel Miller
and Mrs. B. R. McDonald were ap
plicants for county certificates at the
last examination.
The literary and debating society
of the Moore High school held its
lirst open meeting Friday night. The
meeting was well attended, even the
standing room was all taken.
livery one went away highly pleas-
ed with the entertainment. The pro-
gram consisted of music, elocution,
reading and debate. The question dis-
ussed was: Be it resolved that Gen-
us was not an inmate capacity. O. H.
Akin and Walter Morrow defended
the affirmative. E. L. Castile and Rev.
Oury the negative. The affirmative
relied on history and psychology for
argument. The negative based their
argument on the Bible. The affirma-
had much the advantage in the
ticid of history and psychology but
were unable to meet the doctrine
presented by the negative.
The pupils' examination will be
held in each district where there is
school in session, November 4th and
5th.
The teachers' meeting which was
held in the district court room last
Saturday was the best in the history
of the county. The teachers took
more interest in the discussion of the
different subjects than ever before
And the addresse^ which were made
by Miss Scott and Messrs Lay and
Castile was worth the time and ex-
pense of any teacher to attend.
All school boards should look over
the following list and if your teach-
name is not in the list you should
find out the reason why they did
not attend.
Following are the names of those
who attended the meeting: Misses
Holland, Rice, Mary and Susie Taylor

After «veral months of hard and
persistent work unknown to only a

in interesting the leading Baptists of
Oklahoma to investigate Norman as
a location for the Baptist University
which has been under consideration
for more than two years.
Lawton, Chickasha, El Reno and
Oklahoma City have made good sub-
stantial propositions for the school
but when it came to a show down
the deal fell through

Mild Laxative
for Baby Free
The child of today is the parent of
the future, and whether it grows up
healthy and strong, or pnny and weak,
depends upon the intelligence of its
parents, for most children are born
into the world healthy, but thousands
become future weaklings between
birth and the age of ten, when the
parents are still in greatest control.
The prime cause of trouble is in the
stomach. A baby that Is diluting its
food seldom cries and always looks cheer-
ful; the little child whose stomach is good
romps and plays and nevor whines; the
growing child Karns well at school and Is
eager for fun If its head Is clear and its
stomach light, and that means if it has
no constipation.
The best and safest way to cure any
Irregularity ..f the stomach and bowels
in children Is by the use of Dr. Caldwell s
Syrup 1 'ep.s-in. This is a liquid laxative
wonderful in Its effect as Mrs. John W.
Dunham, Apple Creek, O., Mrs. H. L.
Cullam, rialnvllle, Ind., and numerous
others can testify who give it to their
children with extraordinary results.
A bottle only costs 60 cents or $1 ac-
cording to the size you want, and even
one 60-cent bottle will do a wonderful
amount of good in n family. It . an ho
given to any memb. r of the family in
constipation, sour stomach. Indigestion,
torpid liv r, dyspepsia, heartburn, siek
headache and similar digestive troubles.
It n-'ver erlpes or stranRlcs like pills,
tablets, salts and powders, which should
not be given to children, women or old
folks
If you have a child or other member of
the family who needs, but has never used
this grand laxative tonic, send your name
and address to the doctor and a free trial
bottle will he sent to your home. In this
way you can find out what it will do
without personal expense.
If there Is anything about
your ailment that you don't
understand, or If you want
any medical advice, write
to the doctor, and he will j
answer you fully There Is
no charge for thin service
