|HAT it is prudent and even necessary, to practice economy is the
one great lesson that has been brought home to us all. THRIFT
has become a National Habit. But how it may be argued, can
one be sure that each dollar goes just as far as possible? By paying always
the lowest price? Hardly that. Price alone does not spell ECONOMY. It is
what you get for what you pay—THAT'S what chiefly concerns you, isn't it?
Then apply this line of reasoning to your buying of tea.
It is a matter of common knowledge that the finer qualities of tea because
of abundant strength and flavor have greater spreading power, go farther
and are in the end the most economical to use These are sound arguments
for the purchase of CHOICE tea. even if you wholly disregard the added en-
joyment and satisfaction in drinkine it. Let us say then, that you pay 80c for
a pound of CHASE & SANDBORN'S choice tea. What does that mean? It
means that you will receive tea of such quality, strength and flavor that 300
cups may be brewed from it-at a financial outlay of virtually one quarter of a
cent per cup.
FOUR CUPS FOR ONE CENT
of tea delightful in its frsshnpss, its fragrance and its flavor-tea that adds
materially to the sum of your pleasure in life. Convince yourself that to pur-
chase choice tea is to practice REAL economy. Learn from actual experience
that its use is justified by every consideration of prudent living and wise ex-
penditure. Until you accept our word for this and put these claims to the
test you can have no adequate appreciation of the enjoyment and economy
there is in a cup of choice tea or of the manifold virtues of the beverage itself.

Tne compulsory school law in
Oklahoma is very strict in refer-
ence to attendance at school. Be-
low we give a part of the law of
1919, which the school board will
enforce. Mr. Dole has been ap-
pointed truant officer and will
see that the law is enforced.
Section 251. It shall be un-
lawful for any parent, guardian
or custodian, living in the state
of Oklaho.na, to neglect or re-
fuse to cause or compel any per-
son ot persons who are or may
be under his control as children
or wards to attend and comply
with the rules of some public,
private, or other schools unless
other means of education are
provided, for sixty-six and two-
thirds per cent of the term the
sohools of the district are in sess-
ion, which shall apply to all chil-
dren of the district over the age
of eight and under the age of
eighteen, unless they are pre-
vented by some mental ar physi-
cal disability, the question of
disability to be determined bv
the district board or board of
education upon a cirtificate of a
duly licensed and practicing ohy-
sician; provided, however, that
this requirement shall not apply
to a child between the ages of
sixteen and eighteen years who
is (1) regularly and I awfnlly em-
ployed and has satisfactorily
completed the work of the eighth
grade of public schools or its
equivalent, or (2) who has satis-
factorily completed the fall
course of instruction provided by
the public schools of the district
where he resides.
Section 255. Any person vio-
lating the provisions of any sec-
tion of this article shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor and upon con-
viction, shall be fined in any sum
not less than ten dollars nor more
than twenty-five dollars. Each
day a child is out of school con-
trary to the provisions of this
article shall constitute a sepa-
rate offense. Said fine, when
collected, shall be credited to the
school fund of the district in
which the offending party re-
sides.
