Thauksgiving Day Game and
the Last of the Season
Be There
The "Turkfy-Dijf Game' is
looked forward to by all the foot-
ball world as the classic event pf
the entire season The team
that wins the struggle on their
home gridiron for that day is for-
tunate indeed
This year Shamrock comes to
Perkins to meet Perkins' high
school team in the third annual
turkey-day struggle The fame
will be played on the high school
gridiron beginning promptly at
2:30 Thanksgiving day
In the past Perkins has won
both games and she is determin-
ed to Veep her record clean
Shamrock comes to Perkini just
as determined to secure revenge
for former reverses Y
Our boys have had a most suc-
cessful season They have met
and conquered many teams from
high schools much larger than
perkins This is not due to luck
hut to the efficient coaching of
Mr Friedeman and the untiring
' work of the boys
We know you appreciate their
: efforts the advertising they have
given our town and their success
in placing the name of Perkins
high school on the athletic map
of Oklahoma
Let us show our appreciation
by turning out full force— every
one— to witness the final game
In so doing we may encourage
' tie boys lojvio and Add another
vi tory to their string and at the
tame time settle the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner and avoid perhaps
tp-nding the rest of our days con-
firmed dyspeptics
Holiday "Spells"'
The usual verbose advertising
“sped” of the country newspaper
gathers as much pay as the town
charity crier yet the truth is be-
ll id the verbosity though obscure
and prosaic ' -
The Journal receives from twel ve
to twenty letters daily with long
windy speils from thank-you
space fiends We suppose other
coutry newspaper are receiving
the same This should however
show the acknowledgement of
the growing importance of the
country press
When nationwide measures are
to be put over it is always notice-
able that leaders invariably seek
their heart-to-heart talks with the
people through thecountry news-
papers The home paper is sup-
posed to tell the truth and shame
the devil in its dealing with its
friends and neighbors -The
country merchant is on the same
basis with the home paper with
this excepting that he can’t telj
the truth if he doesn’t advertise
The Holidays of 1921-2are near
and in order to draw the trade we
should begin advertising now
You need advertising copy
carefully prepared Think out a
system that is new at least untried
- in your advertising of the past
1 “Diversity and initiative are the
soul of advertising” is a hint
from one of most successful ad
yertising concerns of the world

recently “Acting before the cam- (

places where no friendly audi-

every gesture and facial express-

right degree is a difficult task”
“Black is White” is a different

AMERICAN VALUATIONS
A Amplified intheFordney
Tariff Act — Section 402
National Retailers
Apt
It is evident to all who are con-
versant with the Fordney Bill’s
provisions that it will hurt Amer
ican prosperity Section 402 in
the judgment of the directors ol
the National Dry Goods Associa-
tion “ 'American Valuation’ it a
menace to the commerce and
prosperity of our whole country”
In view of the action already
taken by the House of Repre-
sentatives and the Finance Com
mittee of the -Senate the only re-
maining appeal is to the Ameri-
can public and to individual
members of Congress
A great effort is being made
to arouse the people to their
present condition and to realize
the rank injustive ot the proposed
measure
We give below excerpts from
resolutions passed by the Nation-
al Retail Dry Goods Association
at a recent session in New York
City:
“We are opposed to the Amer-
icitn Valuation Plan because at a
time when the whole country
seems agreed that further price re-
ductions are indispensable to the
restoration of American prosper-
ity the apoption of American
Valuation will inevitably lead to
higher retail prices Retail prices
are based on wholesale prices and
one of the most acti-r-A influences
in keeping productsof American
manufacturers at reasonable firice
levels is the presence of foreign
competition Under American
Valuation domestic manufacturers
would themselves automatically
regulate the duty on imported
goods by increasing their own
priers This would in our opin-
ion lead to materially increased
prices These increased prices
will be-the prices American con-
sumers will have to pay if Amer-
ican Valuation is adopted
“We believe the adoption 'of
the American Valuation Plan
wquld seriously interfere with the
improvement of certain funda-
mental conditions which must be
achieved it there is to be a restor-
ation of national prosperity and
the relief of widespread unem-
ployment We believe price fluc-
tuations must be minimized prices
must be reduced and foreign trade
and commerce must be revived
if our workers are to be fully em-
ployed and if our farmers are to
obtain a fair price for their agri-
cultural products Without im-
provement along these lines the
cost of living cannot come down
and the present period of indus-
trial depression and unemploy-
ment must be aggravated and
prolonged
“Ae are opposed to American
Valuation because it will hinder
or prevent the international ex-
change of raw materials products
and merchandise at a period in
our national lifS when such ex-
change Is more essential than ever
before to the prosperity 'of our
country V e cannot hope to sell
where we are not willing to' buy
Europe lacking gold can buv
from the United States only so
long as this country it wiling to
accept peyment in goods II Eu
ropean goods are shut out ot the
American piarket American goods
will automatically be shut out of
European and South American
markets - -v
“We are opposed to American
Valuation because it discriminates
against the American farmers la-
Much Good Base Going In
But More Hard Surface
' Needed
Payne county in the matter of
grading bridging and filling on
her roads is abrest of most of the
counties of the state
The Ozark Trails route which
passes through the southern tier of
townships is becoming a very
popular route for travel from the
east part of the slate to points In
the western part - Two Ozark
stone pyramids are being built at
Perkins One where the O T
turns north at the Perkins bridge
and the other at the stale highway
intersection a mile west of town
The Albert Pike route1 through
the north end of the county is
also receiving a great deal of work
in grading and bridging
County roads are in splendid
shape only lacking in one essen-
tial— that of harder surface
i It is now evident that the next
step in good roads building must
e attaining hard surface i
Much talk and effort havebeeh
used in our county for methods
of hard-surfacing but litthK has
been accomplished
No roads can now stand loag
as popular routes without tnVi
hard surface and if Payne count)
doesn’t want to be made a rele-
gated rural more effective effort
for obtaining hard roads must be
made

Last Sunday 'the ' 13th was 1 a
landmark in the Sunday School
work of Perkins The largest
school ever assembled in Perkins
319 were present There were 5
additions to the church Miss
Reeves of the Vaughter Evangel-
istic party sang for us
Mr Knipe Mr Garner and
ProL Reiser spoke to us and en-
thusiasm with all were bubbling
over
Our school has been in contest
with Coyle Christian School for
8 weeks - Perkins as she usually
does carried the contest by a hand-
some majority
The people throughout the
community are catching the cor-
dial spirit of these people and the
air is tilled with friendliness for
all' These ' strides ot progress
means a great deal to Perkins as
well as to the Christian Church
The church has an active pro-
gressive program for future work
so join the band of boosters for a
better Perkins

“We believe it to be detrimental
to the best interests of American
farmers and growers because it

buy thrir wheat meats and other ‘
foodstuffs -from South America
Australia and Canada their cot-
ton from India their oil from
Mexico and many manufactured
products from Great Britain
France and Germany i With fo-
eign markets closed to the Amer-
ican farmer the prices of Ameri-
can farm products may be expect-

the present low levels
