Cranks vs Sell Starters
Most of us remember a short
time since of meeting a man with
his right arm in a sling We
were sure he was the owner of
a Ford and he too would exhibit
the arm with some degree of
pride
We have had some experience
with cranks on the old fashioned
grind stone crank on the old
fashioned coffee mill and too we
have tried to be friendly" with
the crank of ' an automobile
Spin turn sweat blow imagine
etc and we have loaned the
thing to a looker on and watched
him spin sweat blow and get
red in the face and give it up
Now that is one extreme in try-
ing the patience of other cranks
The opposite is to get into the
car turnon the switch step on
the button and lo and behold the
thing appers to have some life
and if the generator and ignition
are all 0 K and there is gbs and
oil and everything is right and
in perfect order away we glide
Then sometimes the thing starts
off nicely runs a short distance
at a record-making pace then
sputters jumps once or twice
and stops then it needs fixing
Well we have seen a lot of peo-
ple that resembled the above in
character disposition durability
continuance and in trying the
patience With some they are
woefully hard to get started
-then they need starting so often
and especially if you are in a
tight and the case needs immed-
iate action
In serving the public as an of-
'hciaj as a citizen as a minister
on committees etc I Lave had
'to do considerable cranking and
then continue to crank and coax

Convenience and Safety
Pay your bills by check It is more con-
venient than carrying cash and much safer
When you pay by cash you frequently have no
record of the transaction Your cancelled
chech is a legal receipt showing payment of
the bill -
This bank welcomes your checking account
We feel sure that you will agree it is more sat-
isfactory to pay by check It is an aid to sav-
ing too for you will find that you are not so
likely to spend so much money if you place it in
the bank
Money in this bank is doubly safe 'Your
deposits not only are protected by the resuorces
of this bank but also by the Depositors’ Guar-
anty Law which would replace every dollar of
your deposits if we failed to do so Open a
checking account now We are glad to tell you
how

Oklahoma”

Then there some who seem to
be self-starters ‘ on hair trig-
ger” at a suggestion off they go-
run for a short time soon they
reach a grade that requires an
effort then sputter backfire and
die “or better if they would”
One fault with the old machine
that had to be cranked was that
when not in motion there was no
light J ust when light was mof t
needed it was dark So with
lots of men when we need to de-
pend on them they are a blank
The self starter machine has
good lights all the time that is
if the battery and connection is
good if the battery is run down
take it to the service of power
and get it recharged There are
also some people who are a light
for all with whom they come in
contact they keep the batteries
well charged
Brother are you a crank or a
self starter? The world needs
good honest service men as nev-
er before Be on the alert and
remember your neighbor has a
man’s job doing his share in
shaping the commercial world
social world religious worll
Don’t wait to be cranked but be
a self starter make your owner
proud of you
Well sometimes when I write
a prescription and write the di-
rections it looks so good -1 feel
like taking a course of my own
treatment
Now I am starting on my third
year as pastor of the Baptist
Church at Leedey We have
gained some ground but are not
satisfied The first year we ac-
complished little the second year
was some improvement now
let’s make the third equal or ex-
ceed both the others We can if
we will

meeting was conducted by the
new officers
The program was as foilows:
Reading Ruth Quattlebaum
Piano Solo Fora Musser
Reading of the paper

Ruth Quattlebaum
Debate — “Resolve that city life
is more desirable than country
life”
Aff — Opal Clark Grade New-
comer and Clyde Wallace
Neg — Pearl SelmanFerdie Rei-
mer and Claudia McKee
The decion was in favor of the
negative side
After this we spent the next ten
minutes in Parlimentary drill af-
ter which we had a “pep” meet-
ing Everyone took part in the
yells and songs
During the Parlimentary drill
there was a motion came before
the house requesting Frank Al-
len to tell the history of his life
Tiiis was indeed very interesting
and everyone had a hearty laugh
over some of the experiences he
told
Next Friday evening there
wiil be a number of talks or lec-
tures given by High School stu-
dents at the Alexandrian Club
meeting All patrons are invit-
ed to attend these meetings which
are held in the Auditorium at
2:30 o’clock every Friday after-
noon Studies Notes
The new Commercial Geogra-
phy s and General Sciences have
arrived and the classes are ! pro-
gressing nicely 4
A conference of a number of
the Medevial and Modern history
students was held in the auditor-
ium Tuesday morning The pur
(pose of it remains a mystery
Pearl Selraan made the highest
average grades of any student in
high school during the last sem-
ester One of the Latin students can
be given credit for always hand-
ing in hi3 lesson but as it hap-
pens he gets it in the day after
the class
Physiology students have
learned that they own a complete
telegraph system in their bodies
The dividends of the system are
pain misery pleasure and
knowledge
Some of the students in gen-
eral science can not comprehend
the phenomenon of a body being
lighter five miles above the earth
than at the surface The stu-
dents have plenty of consoling
company though- Do you know?
Paul Selman is inquiring why
the air is denser at the earth’s
surface than it is some distance
from the surface
Do high school science stu-
dents understand why it does not
get warmer when you get closer
to the sun?
Atheletic
The game between Rhea and
Leedey second team was a close
and fast game The score in first
half was 5 to 6 in favor of the
Leedey team-' The last half was
a score of 10 to 15 Rhea having
made the most points
The Rhea team had a bunch of
of husky follows while the L ep
dey players were much smaller
It was the hard work on the part
of our guards that held the
score — the Rhea forwards were
tall and hard to guard Fast
work was shown by Henry Rei-
mer and Guy Peck as forwards
and our guards Tom Blackket-
ter and “Doc” Allen did especi-
ally good
In the Leedey 1st and Chey-
enne game the Green and White
were victors Cheyenne play-
ed Strong City two games and
were defeated each time once
by a score of 10 to 11 and once
17 to 17 so were confident of a
victory over Leedey Yet in the
first half the score was 11 to 5
in favor of the Green and White
and in the last half Leedey made
47 and Cheyenne didn’t make
anything It was Leedey’s first
chance to get on its feet since
the Vici game Everyone was
feeling good and wanting to
play while in other games some
one of the team had not been able
to play The team is now confi-
dent of their success at the
tournament and ae becoming
more anxious each day
We play Camargo here Satur-
day night “Come and see it”
We go to Hammon Friday night
instead of last Saturdav We
also have games matched for each
week end till the tournament
Everyone come out to see the
games and “root” for the Leedey
teams Two good games are as-
sured Saturday night Both
boys and girls’” play- Camargo
has a basket ball coach now and
the teams have improved by
leaps and bounds
The County Basket-Ball Tour-
No Hyphens
German Indolence has seldom
been more offensivley displayed
than in the clamor for a Cabinet
appointment for George Sylves-
ter Viereck or some one of bis
kidney as “recognition of the
German-American vote” How
much of that vote was actually
cast for Senator Harding wo do
not know nor care He was
elected of course not with it
but in sbite of it
It would be deplorable for any-
body to be appointed to a Cabi-
net office as the representative of
any special racial element of our
population There is talk of en-
largement of the Cabinet which
may be realized But if that
body were to be increased until
it was as big as all Congress
there should still be no place in
it for a hyphen It is the Cabi-
net of the President of the Unit
ed States not of the Grand Pan-
jandrum of Greco-Iiusso Chino-Slavic-Teutonic-Celtic
- Hispanic-
EthiopicomniBus conglamerafcior
But if such an impossibility
were possible and were to be re-
alized we know of no racial ele-
ment in all our composite citizen-
ry which should not have recog-
nition in advance of the type of
Germans represented by Viereck
and Von Mach and their com-
peers in the list of “eligibles”
which is so impudently put forth
as a roster of Cabinet “candi-
dates ' - '
With ' the millions oL honest
loyal patriotic American citizens
of German origin or German
descent who hate Hohenzollern-
ism as we do we have no quarrel’
or any feeling for them save that
of cordial fraternity But for
the wretches who plotted against
the flag that sheltered them wh-
connived at criminal plots against
the lives and property of Ameri-
can citizens wo have in comu o i
with all true Americans ’no sen-
timent save that of incurable re-
pugnance For a spokesman of that crev
even though through cowardice
or otherwise he kept himself
within the pale of the law to put'
himself forward as a candidate
for a place in the Cabinet or in-
deed for any office of honor or
profit unuer the Government of
the United Slates betrays a mon-
umental lack of humor— Har-
vey’s Weekly
nament will be "held at Talogn
February 18 and 19 Both out-
boys and girls teams expect to
win the cup which wilt be award-
ed to the winning teams in the
county
The High School Play will be
given Thursday night February
3 at the High School Auditorium
“Hicks at College” is' a play full
of life and pep We hope that
all the patrons will be there
Clyde — “I am goings down to
the city for about a week where
would you advise me to stop?”
James— “Try the depot”
Jim— “Did you ever gefishing-
with a girl?”
Paul— “Yes why?”
-Jim — “Did she complain of you
hurting the fish when you took
the hook out of their mouth?”
Paul — No she said- she knew
they were happy because they
flopped their tails
