ENTERTAINED.
Probably one of neatest and
most enjoyed occasion in ihe his-
tory of Canton was the banquet
arid entertainment given Friday
night by the Domestic Science
class of the High School to the
business men and their wives.
This was given in appreciation
to the business men who bought
advertising sp?ce on the curtain
iu the auditorium by means of
which the Canton schools have
a better set of scenery than any
town of its sixe in the state.
The program given was of a
high class and fully appreciated:
Crista Slayton, Mabel Everett
and Opal Wills gave addresses
which showed advancement in
the ability of tbe high school
pupils along the line of oratory.
Readings were given by Ethel
Myers, Virginia Tucker and
Thelma Herod, and received a
hearty response. The ladies
quartette and four special num-
bers of the orchestra was the
surprise of the evening and led
the guests to believe that Can-
ton's talent cannot be excelled.
Mr. J. J. Tucker concluded the
program of one hour with an ad-
dress, "Your Work," which was
fully appreciated.

Following the program a four-
course lunch was served by tbe
domestic science class, under the
supervision of their teacher,
Miss Shafer, and was the revela-
tioa of the evening. The menu
was excellent, and after finishing
the brick ice cream and coffee
and mints, the guests were fully
convinced that Canton's girls
will lead the world as cooks of
eatables that are good eatables.
The courses were interspersed
with toasts by Geo. Austin, Geo.
W. Brown, C. S. McDowell and
E. M. Hooker. Prof. Frost act-
ed as toast master and filled the
position to a nicety, making each
guest feel at ease and realize the
appreciation that was felt by the
pupils of the Canton schools to-
ward the liberal merchants who
by their patronage had made
possible the beautiful set of
scenery in their auditorium. He
gave several poetical excerpts
that fitted the occasion nicely.
Miss Shafer was very busy but
took the time to greet the guests
and give them an invitation to
visit the domestic science classes
at any time.
And when the last guest was
filled up to his fullest extent the
assemblage broke away with full
hearts and fuller stomach* and a
heart overflowing with gratitude
to |Prof. Frost, Miss Schafer,
the clever youug ladies of the
domestic science class and the
participant* in the splendid pro
gram. ^ ^

The Inter Church World
Movement of North America
During the dates of April 6th
to the 9th, conferences under the
auspices of the above movement
will be hf Id in 3000 counties of
our nation.
The county conference of
Blaine connty will be held at
Watonga, April 8th, in an all
day meeting, beginning at 9 A.
M. and closing with the evening
session.
A team of speakers will have
charge of the conference. Good
addresses, stirring information,
by word of mouth and by the
stereopticon, will be given at all
sessions.
What is this movement? One
thing it is not. It is not a move-
ment for the federation of the
churches or denominations. It
is one of Cooperation in effort*
common to all, and that in no
way will effect our denomination-
al rights, teaching or unity.
All Christians are urged to
come—see and study the Surveys.
Every evangelical church in
tv ounty are asked to send a
delegation of seven laymen. Tbe
Superintendent of the Sunday
School, officers of the church,
women and men, with the pas-
tor.
Come if for no other purpose,
than of becoming informed as to
this great world movement. You
will then be in a position to pass
judgment. Prohibition was
made possible because of the
united effort of all Christian peo-
ple of all denominations. There
are many big i.tiag* yet to be
accomplished for the good of the
world, that needs *he united ef-
fort of the whole church.
As for the "Eats." A basket
dinner and supper is the plan.
Look forward to making it pos-
sible to come. Again remember
the date, April 8th.
Rev. I. W. Scudder,
County Convenor.
THIS IS THE DAY TO DO
A BIG THING IN A BIG WAY
The County Sale
The Association Sale will be
April 2nd. There will be sold
some thirty Shorthorn cattle,
some Percheron stallions, some
Duroc and some Poiaud China
hogs. One of the problems in
raising purebred stock is to sell
to advantage the surplus siock.
That problem is pretty we'lsolv-i
ed in Blaine couuty. At the las j
fall's Association sale 38 of the j
43 Shorthorns sola were taken j
by Biaine county farmer*, and I
23 of tke 24 hogs so d were also;
so taken. At the recent Warren;
Rice sale 34 of the 35 hogs sold
were bought bv our farmers. At
the recent Duroc sale of Elias
Smith of Canton, all of the hogs
M>'d were purchased by farmers
j of that locality. If your animals
are in good condition, you have
i in Blaine couuty a market right
' at your door, but you have to
keep your eyes open to the breeds
of animals Blaine c,ounty farm-
ers want just as the merchaht
has to keep in mind the kind of
goods that sell well in his town.

WHEN YOU BANG
on your house, or your barn, or whatever else it
w may be, you are in danger of scaling off the paint
i with which it has been covered—unless that paint is
the kind that sticks.
The paint we are selling is the darndest stuff for
sticking and clinging that you ever saw. It just
WON'T come off.
Try it on your nex job. It sticks closer than a biil
collector-—and that is SOME sticking.

TH E UNIVERSAL CAR
Most of the Gas Companies throughout the country use fleets of
Ford Runabouts. The same is true of other big corporations. The
reasons are very practical. The Ford Runabout is the most econom-
ical solution of quick transportation from manufacturer to retailer.
For soliciting business, for the Collector, for the Doctor, Contractor,
Builder, and almost every other line of business activity, the Ford
Runabout is really a necessity. We solicit your motor accessory
business. We can serve you, we believe, to your best advantage. And
bring your Ford cars to us for replacements and repairs because you
will get the dolled workman and the genuine Ford parts.
