THE NYJU. COOK BOOK
t
WE have just received a shipment of
the new Nyal Cook Book. This
book has been prepared by
Jeanette McKenzie Hill, .editor of the
Boston Cooking School Magazine, a
cooking authority who is known from
border to border and from coast to coast.
This book is the very same type which
is regularly sold at stationery stores for $ l
per copy, but while our present supply
holds out we are going to present one of
these cook books free to every customer
whose purchase, of any of the Nyal me-
dicines or toilet articles, amounts to fifty
cents, or more, at any one time. It makes
no difference how many cook books you
now own the Nyal Cook Book is in a
class by itself—it is different—and eypry
young lady or housewife should own one.
We would especially like to see the Do-
mestic Science Girls possess one of these
books.

State Superintendent Delivered
Exollont Addroee
Although the corner stone was
several days, getting here from
Oklahoma City and Ben Lowman
finally brought it overland by
automobile, the exercises in con-
nection with this important oc-
casion Monday afternoon were a
big success.
On account of the high wind
and the delayed arrival of the
corner stone, the scheduled par-
ade was abandoned and the first
part of the program, consisting
of music and speaking took place
in the opera house which Mr. J.
0. Morehead kindly gave free ac-
cess to for the occasion. T. J.
Ballew, president of the school
board, presided and made a brief
talk which was followed by mus-
ic and some short talks by others.
State SuperitendentR. H. Wilson
was then introduced and deliver-
ed an excellent address that was
an inspiration and full of sense
and good advice. At the con-
clusion of the address Mr. Horace
Truman made a motion that was
seconded by A. B. Mackey and
unanimously adopted to ask Mr.
Wilson to put his address in writ-
ing and mail a copy of it to every
paper in the state with a request
from the people of Geary that it
be published on the front page.
From the opera house the people
went to the new school building
where the stone laying took place
with Ray Reynolds, a Geary
High School graduate spreading
the morter and the sehool board
lifting the stone in to position.
Among the articles placed behind
the stone were: the latest edition
of the Geary telephone Directory,
by Mr, Truman, a copy of the
Geary High School Noise, by
Prof. Howell: and a brief history
of Geary High School up to date
that was prepaired by Superin-
tendent L. Roy Smith. Rev. C.
H. Funk, pastor of the Chaistian
church dismissed the people.
A General Announooment
At this time we announce to
the public, the coming Lyceum
Course. All those who attended
the Lyceum Course given by the
Geary Public Schools last Winter
are yet more than pleased with
it. We are happy to say that
this year we have a better course.
That is saying a great deal but
it is a fact. The course consists
of five high grade numbers in
eluding a Sextette, Instrumental
and Vocal, an Orchestra number,
a famous lecture, a company of
entertainers and a male quartette.
Each number is a good number
and a guaranteed one. These
numbers will be announced more |
fully next week and later on. |
Just remember that the winter I
of 1916-17 offers to the people of
Geary the best line of entertain-1
ment the Lyceum affords. Com-1
panies that perform from Boston '
to San Francisco.
If you are asked to lend your
aid please do not be excited but;
investigate more fully. Net pro- j
ceeds will be used in improving |
the High School grounds.
Very respectfully,

Bon Lowman Received Letter
From Frank Colohin.
DECATTR, IND., Aug. 20.
Mr. B. F. Lowman,
Geary, Oklahoma.
Dear Friend:
We arrived at Decatur, Indi-
ana on the 22nd of August, just
seven days on the trip. I could
have come through in 5 1-2 days.
Now I will give you my record.
I drove 1106 miles with one tube
blwout and three breaks of my
service rod, had to put a link in
same to keep it from breaking,
so you see we had some bad roads.
Six miles we had a road that it
would hurry a goat to get across.
Had to drive some in low and
intermediate, and with all of that
I came through on 56 gallons of
gasoline and 6 quarts of oil, and
I think that is good, considering
the roads. About 300 miles
through Illinois and Indiana ti
made 25 miles on a gallon.
Hoping to see you some time
the latter part of September,
and have a good talk with you. I
remain,
Yours, a friend,
Frank Colchin.
To Country Seheefe Offering
High Sohooi Work.
In view of the fact that in the
past we have been extending ev-
ery courtesy possible, we feel
that we must make this state-
ment publicly. It haB been and
now is our desire to help the1
boys and £irls. However, we are
bound by higher authorities to do
certain things. The following is
quoted from a recent letter from
Mr. Parsons. State High School
Inspector. "No school can re-
tain it's standing if it accepts
the work of schools that- are net
accredited Schools- accept-
ing credits promiscously will be
dropped from the list."
We feel bound by these state-
ments to earnesly request that
boys and girls in country districts
who contemplate taking High
School subjects to consult with
I us before starting their work in
[the country.
Very sincerely,
L. Roy Smith
