You Can't Please Them All
Especially with phone service. That's what they all say, except
the Sentinel Telephone Company, and we claim it is easy to
please our customers. How? Just "deliver the goods;" that's
all. We haven't a single subscriber who would be anything like
satisfied with second best telephone service. On the other fiand,
we haven't a single subscriber who isn't at present satisfied. We
are here to give the best service and that's what we are doing.
If, in any way you can figure it, you are anything short of the
best, please let us know and we will gladly take it up. We give
phone service to the town of Sentinel and to all rural and con-
necting rural lines—in all, about 1,500 people. Residence phone
$1.25 per month; business phone $2.25 per month. First class toll
service to all the state of Oklahoma. Get in with us. You can't
afford to walk up town or bother your neighbor every day for
$1.25 per month.

Former President Greeted by
Cries of "Teddy for Pres-
ident in 1912."
Grand Rapids, Mich., Feb. 11.
—The election of United States
senators by direct vote of the
people is favored by former
President Theodore Roosevelt.
He believes the constitution
should be so amended as to pro-
vide for popular election.
In a Lincoln Day speech here
tonight Colonel Roosevelt came
out squarely in favor of the move-
ment.
"One of the progressive poli-
cies upon which I think the great
majority of progressives are
agreed is that United States sen-
ators should be elected by popu-
lar vote," said Colonel Roosevelt.
"The constitution should, in my
judgement, be so amended as to
provide for this."
Asserting that the present
method of electing senators was
'relic" of old times and should
be remedied, the colonel also de
clared himself in favor of abolish-
ing the electoral college in elec
tion of presidents. Yet, he said
while he believed in the selection
of senators by direct vote, he did
not favor any policy which would
take away from the federal gov-
ernment "one particle of control
which it now has as regards the
election of senators."
Colonel Roosevelt cam4 here
from New York to be the chief
speaker at the Lincoln anniver-
sary celebration of the Lincoln
club. His subject was "Lincoln
and Progressive Republicanism."

Atlantic City, N. J.. Feb. H.—
The mystery surrounding the dis-
appearance of Dorthy Arnold, I
may be solved before George S. j
Griscom, Jr., of Pittsburg, whose
name has been connected with
that of the missing young woman,
leaves Atlantic City. This infor-
mation was obtained late last
night. Rumors that Griscom
and Miss Arnold had been mar-
ried or are about to be married j
are in circulation.
News from the Arnold family
that they still believe the girl to
be dead, was received today by
George Griscom, Sr. "I believe
we will never see Dorothy again
alive," was the text of the mes-
sage.
Young Griscom told tonight for
the first time his connection with
the world-wide hunt for the miss-
ing girl. His narrative included
the trip made across the ocean
by Mrs. Arnold, mother of the

! Mr. Griscom's father appeared

"I would, of course, consent
to the marriage of my son to Miss
Arnold, but I hope to be able to
impress the public with the fact
that myself and wife are not in
any way seeking an alliance with
the family of Miss Arnold for

Hon. J. W. McNeal Here.
Hon. J. W. McNeal, of Guthrie
was here this week, arrivingSun-
day evening on the Orient, from
home. He was the republican
candidate for governor and made
a fine race. He had a motto that
ought to be truly practiced by all
members of all parties and that
motto was: "more business and
less politics."
Mr. McNeal, as has been ex-
plained before, has a large in-
terest in the Citizens State Bank
here and he is a director. He is
a very pleasing gentleman and
he has the happy faculty of mak-
ing a dollar do its full duty.
Mr. McNeal is the father-in-
law of President Niles, of the

about noon.
George D. Marshall, director
of the public roads construction,
made a very pleasant call at the
Beacon office the first of the
week. He is here from Washing-
' 'Everything all right. Am re-
turning to New York. Meet me
there, if possible."
Griscom said again tonight that
he had no idea as to the where-
abouts of Miss Arnold. "God
knows I wish I could say where
she is," he exclaimed.
Young Griscom said Mrs. Ar-
nold, who is now on her way
from Europe, has not made an en-
gagement with him to meet him ^~and wilf remainand direct

the quantity of water, the size of

the cost of the various methods,

council ordered that a test be
made and a further report be
made at the next meeting.
The park board is working on
a plan whereby it will be possible
to begin work on a park system,
or a series of parks along the
creeks on the edge of town. The
plan is to make a start this
spring in some locality and work
eventually around the city, as the
land is donated, purchased and
improved. It is the plan to have
several modest-sized parks, to be
located in each direction from
the square, and to connect them
with driveways. Just where the
start will be made has not yet
been decided. Not a great deal
can be done without more money
to work with, but the idea is very
popular among a great many of
our people, and several donations
have already been promised in
the way of land and labor. These
parks, if worked out along the
plans of the park board will not
only add to the beauty of the
town and the pleasure and com-
fort it affords the people, but is
bound to add materially to the
value of every piece of property
in the city.
