Revival Services
Our Brave Deputy Sheriff
For its size Mulhall has tin ^
largest bunch of members of the j
Order of Mystic Shrine and these j
Xhriners are always on tbe look-
out for new members that are eli-
gible to be one of them. Not so
very long ago Edgar Larriek en-
tered the list of eligibles and his
many friends who were Shriners
wanted him to join and be one of
them, but Ed said "nothing do-
ing. it costs too much."
They do say that hot sands of j
the desert are a whole lot hotter,
and harder to cross when you be-j
pome a Noble of the Mystic
Shrine than any real desert, and
in addition to this they also savj
that the goat has a double head
and butts a-coming and going.
Ed figured the Mulhall Shriners
showed a litte too much enthus-
iasm concerning his joining the
order and having heard wierd
tales of what happened to novices
should he weaken decided to hold
his own council and it necessary j
do a little rrooked work in taking
the scarry degrees, lie wanted
to be a Shriner the worst kind
but didn't care about his friends
helping him out, so while attend-
ing Consistory at Guthrie he
slipped over to Oklahoma City
laid bis good hard Ford money
on the bar and said make me red
cap real quick before any Mul-
hallite hears about it.
Our brave deputy entered the
class as a stranger and got
through with only a few blisters
on his feet and returned to us
with a "1 put one over on you
darn smart elecks that time.
There is another eligible in
town that the bunch will get one
of these days and what they failed
to give Edgar, lie will get, provid-
ing his size does not bar him.

From Wilson's Lumber Yard.
(Continued from last week.)
We have written a brief sketch
regarding the manufacturing o>
lumber. Hence the next step is
to get it distributed.
The most economical way is for
an individual or individuals to
establish a headquarter or poin'
•whereby lumber can be handled
in car loads-, thus saving the ex
cess local freight charge and als >
having the material in stock to
care for needs of the people as i1
is directly needed.
The party or parties who es
tablish these points of distribu
tiin. have, generally speaking, gh
en a good portion of their time i
the study of the lumber industr
before placing themselves as com
petents before the people.
