•-------------O--------------THE DAILY NEWS has made a surprisingly rapid
growth. It is the source of much conversation among
newspaper people as well as the public.
Few papers have experienced as fast a growth or met
with as much public favor as THE DAILY NEW’S.
We feel appreciative of the loyal support we have had
and we want the public to know how grateful we are
for their interest. For this reason the price of THE
DAILY NEWS is substantially decreased, commencing
today.
THE DAILY NEWS is considered the most interest-
ing newspaper in this community. If is was not inter-
esting, our growth would not have been so pleasing.
THE DAILY NEWS carries more classified adver-
tising than any other Muskogee newspaper. It is carry-
ing more local display advertising than the other evening
paper. If THE DAILY NEWS grows as rapidly in 1926
as it has in the past jear, it will lead all Muskogee news-
papers in advertising linage by this time next year-W. L. Carter, four miles west of

cost each householder $9.80 the month pro rata. Served by ;
an individual meter, as is the custom, the same quantity of
ijas would cost $17. The former is based upon the industrial
rate and the latter on the new domestic rate.
The absence of industrial consumers in Muskogee is due
to the fact that the rates are so far out of proportion that
factories and office buildings have long since abandoned gas
for fuel-oil or coal. They find the price of gas too crushing
and too big an addition to their overhead expenses.
Muskogee starts the new year in high spirits, but the new
gas rate hasn’t contributed to it by anv means.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.—(INS)-Miss
Chicago is nursing her annual
headache this morning. A little
more cautious as she sipped her
early New Year's nips last night,
the gay young lady flung discretion
to the winds as the night wore on
and in hotel and cabaret sloshed
around as of yore.
She is pained and bruised this
morning, one dead and 10 hurt as
a result of stray revelers' bullets,
but her only real inconvenience
were a few raids on night clubs and
less conspicuous inns.
Needless Alarm
Most of the punishment
celved was of the repeated
variety made up entirely
