PLEASANT PLAINS
Quite a lot of real estate was mov-
ing last week.
Not many have planted corn, I

last Saturday, a good crowd and
quite a lot of stuff changed har.ds.

C. W. Bever received a letter from
his son, who lives in Rice County,
Kansas, telling of the blizzard, April
2 and .'i The worst storm he ev?r
saw, high winds, drifting snow and
rain. The wind blowing snow through
every crack and crevice into the house
and 'buildings. He says we gathered
up four tubs full of snow that found
its way into the house. Well, it was
bad enough here, I'll say.
Bert Dowers, Jim Stewart and Gus

Good attendance at Olive Sunday
morning, no services in the evening

blow us away or overturn our jitney.
The teams appointed to work at
Olive for the Inter-Church World
Movement are planning for the can-
vass to begin soon. Twenty-six mil-
lion young people in our country are
glowing up with no religious training
Thirty-one evangelical denominations
believing that the problems are too
great to be solved by any one denom-
ination alone, are uniting in a great
program of service called the Inter-
Church World Movement. One object
is to strengthen the forces of relig-
ious education everywhere to bring
the 26 million unchurched children
within the influence of some kind of
religious training, and so preserve for
the America of the future the ideals
of the America of the past, without
the support of America's parents such
a program could not succeed, with
their support it cannot fail. When
your church asks for your support,
give, and give from your heart —
well as from your pocket book.

FREEI1URG CANDIDATE FOR
COUNTY COMMISSION KK
Mr. Alex Freeburg, whose an-
nouncement for County Commissioner
appears alsewhere in this issue, came
to Oklahoma in 1900 and bought a
farm northwest of Drummond. He
bought a farm a mile east erf Lahoma
in 1906 which farm he still owns and
which he lived on and worked until
' about six years ago when he went in-
to the hardware and implement busi
; ness in Lahoma. He has lately sold
I out his business in Lahoma and, if
I elected, he promises to devote all his
| time to the duties of his office.
Mr. Freeburg's honor and integrity
] are questioned by none of his wide
! acquaintance and the success which
he has made in his business affairs
promise ijn energetic and business-like
performance of his duties as commis-
sioner. The part of the community
in which Mr. Freeburg lives has had
no representative in county affairs
for many years and it is due his con-
stituency as well as himself that he
be elected.

Announcing
New Schedule of Ice Prices!
For a long time we have been fighting a losing battle against rising
costs and since January 1 have been awaiting developments in the fuel
and labor situation hoping that we might be able to reduce our expenses
this year and avoid increasing prices.
Instead ofir costs are higher than lust year; coal which we formerly
bought for $2.70 per ton is now $4.75 and will be higher as soon as the in-
creased freight rates become effective, fuel oil is $3.50 per barrel against
75 cents last year while gas which was our last hope for this season has
been increased from 25 cents per thousand feet to 35 cents, in increase of
40 per cent in our fuel bill.
In order to continue in business and maintain our plants in condi-
tion to serve you we are forced to advance the price ol our product.
We very much regret the necessity of adding to the burdens of
our friends, believing it time for the prices o; all commodities to com-
mence to recede, but assure you that we have no alternative.
You have our promise that, should fuel and labor costs ever return
to normal or should we be able to make a substantial reduction in our ex-
penses in any other manner, you will receive the benefit through reduced
prices.
The following prices will become effective on deliveries from
wagons on April 14.
Deliveries of less than 300 pounds 80c per cwt.
Deliveries 300 lbs. to 900 lbs. 60c per cwt.
Deliveries 1200 lbs. or more 50c per cwt
