Oklahoma City voters gave the children of the capital
city a valuable Christmas gift when they voted bonds to
build new school buildings and enlarge buildings already in
use. In fact the voters gave a substantial majority in favor
of progress. No community can afford to Outgrow its school
system.
Mr. Fanner, don’t drive your wagon or buggy on the high-
ways after dark without a tail light and a head light too
would make it safer. Over on the United States Highway
No. 66, a car ran into a wagon. Along came another car and
ran into the automobile that hit the wagon and while the
three persons were undertaking to fix the blame for the acci-
dent another car came along and hit the wagon head-on.
» There should be a law compelling every vehicle on the high-
ways at night to carry lights.Traffic would be hindered by putting a Christmas tree
on a principal business intersection said the city administra-
tion of Oklahoma City. We are pleased to live in a city whose
city commissioners not only allow a Christmas tree to be
erected on a principal business intersection but who are will-
ing to spend city funds to make it one of the most beautiful
revolving trees in the state. After all it’s the taxpayers
money and why not bring cheer to our citizens and our
guesU?

It is being hinted in some places
that Wentz is not a- unwilling to be*
drafted as the republican nominee for •
governor as he trie* to make it ap-
anxi'us about being drafted, and
would like to try his luck. If he man-
age* to be drafted and gets squarely
into the fight, he will doubtless learn
many things he does n t know now,
There were 5,000,600 illiterates, according to the 1920 cen-
sus. Now the National Advisory committee is making plans
for the illiterates to learn to read and write before the 1930
census is taken. Learning to read arid write is not an accom-
plishment of over the week-end. But where there is a will
• there is a way and many of the illiterates can make a fair
beginning in the next three or four months. It is a commend-
able undertaking, at the least. If there is an illiterate in your
community lend a hand.The tastes of man seem to vary as widely as his finger
prints. A Butte, Montana, man “went under the ether for an
operation tn the crooning strains of a saxophone.” His phy-
sician said “it put him in a happy frame of mind.” The
Bartlesville flapper who said, according to the Enterprise,
“Lips that touch a saxophone shall never touch mine,” will
no doubt have a tyeart and make a few exceptions in favor
of the saxophone player who can bring happiness to a man
about to go under the surgeon’s knife.1

Remember the old story of the In-

and thought be would try one? He
took one feather, laid it on a cock and
slept on it all night. In the m m:ng

advertising like that. — Bart lei vile
