Two Coining Events
The Marshall Carnival and

ning Oct. 10th. The Mulhall Fair
and Stock Show will occur one

17th loth and 19th. Crescent
should send large delegations to

liberal in attendance at Cres-
cent's various celebrations. A
big time is being arranged for
at both places.
So seldom it is within the pro
vince of the smaller cities to gain
state prominence, that when
such occurs it tends to make all
of the citizens of such city re-
joice abundantly and such has
been the case with Crescent
since last Friday aj which time
it was learned that Miss Hazel
Harned had been duly declared
the winner at the state W. C. T.
U. contest at Tulsa and had been
awarded the grand gold medal.
The contest was held in connec-
tion with the state convention of
the White Ribboners and was
easily one of the features of this
state wide gathering. Miss Ha-
zel, accompanied by Mrs. Frank
Scott, left this city on Thursday
morning for Tulsa with only a
few hours preparation and after
a tiresome all day's journey, they
arrived in Tulsa town about five
o'clock in the afternoon. Being
strangers in the city it took the
ladies some hour or more^ to
find the White Ribbon headquar-
ters, after which they were plac
ed for entertainment during
their stay. It was almost sever,
o'clock before tho entertainment
arrangements had been complet-
ed and with scirce a half hour
for preparation this littfe Cres
cent lady was called forth to doi
oratorical battle for state honor,
while the remainder -had been
there for two days training their
voices to attune with the large
auditorium. Already heavily)
handicapped, Miss Harned was
given No. G, which was the final
number on the program and her
turn did not come until almost
eleyen o'clock, T ravel tired and
weary with the long waiting
this little lady however came
forward and with noble endeavor
delivered her number and re-

ranees she fairly captured the that hag
came through her earn
large assembly with her brilliant estness and 8tudy_ she rocent_
oratory and talent and when the
grading was finished No. 0 was
the winner.
The contest was held in the
beautiful new Presbyterian
church in that city, the large
auditorium being comfortably
filled. The contests were very
evenly matched, affording a rare
elocutionary treat to the delight-
ed audience which showed high
appreciation. The judges were
superintendents of the schools
of Tulsa and Durant and Mrs.
Hunt, a noted reader: with Mrs.
Hammett, former state president
of the W. C. T. U. as referee.
This victory entitles Miss
Harned, who now holds silver,
gold and grand gold W. C. T. U.
medals, to enter a diamond med-
al contest next, such grade usu-
ally being held by the National
W. C. T. T. The Crescent Un-
ion rejoices by reason of the
prominence given their efforts,
as last year Crescent won the
state banner for number of con-
tests held, while this year Cres-
ceht again scores heavily by rea-
son of Miss Harned's glorious
winning. "Last year, quantity,
this year, quality" most com-
pletely describes Crescent's
great showing, as aptly express-
ed by one of the leading local
menbers.
Miss Harned ia the young and
accomplished daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. M. M. Harned and is
well known and liked by all our
citizens, being one of the leaders
of the younger social set of our
city. Miss Harned has shown
ly entered the Christian college
at Enid for the fall and winter
terms, from which place she was
called home for the purpose of
attending the state contest, and
in her winning she has won glory
not only for herself, but also her
native city, school instructor and
Logan county which she so suc-
cessfully represented in the con
test. May she live long and at-
tain the highest pinacle, that of
the diamond contest is the wish
of her hundreds of Crescent
friends.
