s mbled t the school house lor a HjI
lowe'en party They drove out to an
• Id empty house in the country, where
Ha lowe'en games were played and all

to a room dimly lighted room and the
ng fortune cake was cut. After this

LOCATE SEED NOW.
The wise farmer will locate and pur-
1 chase his field seed now before the out-
side market has had time to gather in
any surplus Oklahoma may have. Next
year's demand for forage crop seed will
! be greater than ever before, the de-
1 fense council believes. It is urging
farmers to obtain now not only tield
seed but gtrden seed where possible.

machinery, according to information
submitted to the Oklahoma State Coun-
cil of Defense which is appealing to
farmers to repair their ok) implements,
paint them up, keep them under shelter
if possible and expect to usts them not
only next year and the next, but pos-
sible for several years, at least during

CALUMET GIRLS WIN.
Eirst Basketball Game at Home
Won by 10 to 8 Score.
The game of basketball between
Calnmet girls and Darlington girls Sat-
urday night end-d in a victory for Calu-
met. The game was hard fought from
beginning to end with no particular
player showing up as a star us distin-
guished from tlu- others Calumet
threw four free throws and two fouls
while Darlington threw one free throw
and six fouls. Three of Darlington's
points were made on the second throw
for a foul goal.
This makes the second game with
Darlington, e.-.ch le.m winning 01 e.
The game w - ti' .rred by frequent dis-
cussions, and we think that the only
waj to decide which team is the best
is to play the tli i I game . n a neutt I
i.-d officials.
