Say what you will people you
meet first judge you by the clothes
you wear In business or society
good raiment is a good recommenda-
tion Nothing is so expensive as
wearing old clothes or poor clothes
If you are out of a job dress up or
you can’t get one if you’ve got a
position put on a better “front” If
you want better pay
We’ve got the good “front” for you and
OUR PRICES as well as our clothes will
“make a hit” with you

They Dress Th&Men And
A month ago Director J W
Scrogga of the Extension Division
addressed the convention of the Ok-
lahoma Municipal league to which
representatives had come from a num-
ber of the progressive cities of Okr
lahoma on “Municipal Reference
Bureaus” The men from those cities
chiefly delegates from the commer-
cial clubs liked Dr Scroggs’ manner
of handling the question so well that
they recognized in the University Ex-
tension Division a valuable aid to
solving the questions each was at-
tempting to solve but in which each
city was working practically alone
and without expert investigation or
advice
They asked the Extension Division
to help them out and the Division
has taken up ' the new work in the
best possible way with the limited
amount of funds at hand It is investi-
gating municipal problems and their
manner of solution in all parts of
the United States It found that many
plans different cities were preparing
to try had already been given a more
than fair trial in other places which
had demonstrated that the plans
could result in nothing but failure
The purpose of the new branch of
the work is to find just how other
cities are meeting the problems that
confront Oklahoma towns and to
prevent the wasting of hundreds of
thousands yearly in useless experi-
ments The subject on which most inquir-
ies so far have come is that of com-
mission form of municipal govern-
ment The division immediately on
receiving inquiries wrote to every
city in the United States that had
tried the plan got the details of their
particular plan and asked as to the
success or failure of the system So
far about forty reports have come in
Every report except one is strongly
in favor of the new form But the Di-
vision will find exactly which plan of
commission form is most successful
and which is most suited to any city
in question It will give Oklahoma
the benefit of other’s experiments
Mayor Whit M Grant of Oklahoma
City has asked for investigation and
advice on the treating of the social
J evil An investigation revealed the
: fact that of forty cities whose condi-
tions were similar to thosein Oklaho-
ma City and the segregation plan
had been tried every one reported
the supposed solution to be a failure
Vet Fort Worth is now trying it the
investigation showed spending thous-
ands for an experiment that had al-
ready been pronounced a failure In
a short time Mayor Grant will be
given a report compiled by an ex-
pert whose time is spent in collect-
the material from everywhere on
every subject giving the results of
what other cities are doing to combat
the social evil together with the re-
sults they are getting from the sys-
tems used
Other problems being investigated
are paving drainage policing parks
trees and sanitation A reference
branch is being compiled dealing with
every phase of municipal government
and every style of city problems
Director Scroggs has just received
an invitation from the mayor of Guth
rie to address a gathering of town
boosters on the work of the Exten-
sion Division and the possibilities in
aid to them March 23 on “New Uses

ALMOST THROUGH WITH
TARING UP CAMPUS
Tulips Appearing Trees Ready
to Move Hundreds of
Shrubs Planted
JONES HERE MONDAM
Reports Speak Well of Lecturer Who
Comes on Lyceum Course
All winter those in charge of cam-
pus improvement have been tearing
up every thing that dynamite or
shovels would move but they an-
nounce results of campus improve-
ment will really show above newly
turned and blasted soil end on fresh-
ly graded yards
Last week the first tulip made its
appearance It was a yellow one and
blooms in the beds out by the Journ-
alism building Some people say
“There’s a Reason" for its color
Others are shooting up in the bed
between the Library and the Law
Ruilding More are expected soon in
the parking in front of Administra-
tion Hall
“But these results are small" says
Landscape Gardner Craven “com-
pared with what we may expect lat-er-”
He and Botanist Van Vlert have
just finished the planting of a bed
of lilacs in the oval opposite Monnet
Hall They are of all colors and of
just about all kinds This is the only
bed to be planted entirely of this
shrub though the bush with the
sweet scented flowers figures prom-
inently in several of the other col-
lections In most of the other beds the
range of varieties is so wide that each
collection will present a continuous
show of blossoms during the entire
spring summer and autumn and
bright colored berries in the winter
Spirea barberry snow berry coral
berry bush honeysuckles flowering
dogwood black haw hawthorne and
vibernum are a few of the varieties
already set or being prepared for
planting in the beds on the oval
The large trees in the center of
the oval around which deep trenches
have been dug are to be moved to
the large holes on the border of the
north part of the oval Then the large
holes left from removing the trees
are to be filled and covered by her
muda and not a sign will be left that
there were formerly ten inch elms
in the center of the south part of the
oval and that there were not ten inch
elms on the border of the north part
of the ovals
Mr Ferguson of the grounds force
has completed the grading of the
grounds immediately surrounding
Monnet Hall and this too is to be
set in herniuda in a short time

Below are given a few of the things
said about Jenkin Lloyd Jones lec
turer editor author preacher head
resident Abraham Lincoln Center of
Chicago who will lecture on the Stu
dent Lyceum course next Monday
night on “The Cost of a Fool”
“Not the least of Mr Jones’ suc-
cess as a lecturer is due to his sense
of humor He impresses one as be-
ing like Oliver Wendell Holmes
who said he did not dare to be as
funy as he could But along with this
humorous sense he is scholarly and
thoughtful and often profound”—
Minneapolis Times
’Mr Jones is one of the greatest
speakers in America His public
speaking is alive with wonderful
power Three thousand people heard
him in Houston yesterday and he
held them spell-bound for an hour
and a half” — Dallas Times-Herald
’Perhaps the most inspiring man
you have not had is Jenkin Lloyd
Jones of Chicago who can make
every nerve of mind and soul tingle
He is a great man and keeps his hear-
ers under a spell from start to finish"
Dr James Foster Smith Professor of
Greek in the University of Wiscou
A DIRTY DEAL?
A certain student handed us
package and that package was a dirty
one too But did we get mad about
it and make a fuss? Well I guess
not That student is one of our best
friends and patrons and his action
and intentions were a source of pleas-
ure and appreciation to us That
same dirty package was perfectly and
carefully laundered and promptly de-
livered to our freind much to his
appreciation and pleasure
We want your laundry bundle next
week
We appreciate your business So
hand us that “dirty package" so we
may both be made glad
