A Big l «y At OhIu
Saturday was a big day in Oslo,
the settlers observing the 17th, which
is a big day in Norway, and means
much to every Norwegian. The day-
was a little windy for a celebration,
but the crowd was a big, good na-
tured one, and every person tn It
was there for a good time. The pro-
gram was rendered iu the big new
church, but the building, while a
large and good one, couldn't com-
mence to hold the crowd. The pro-
gram was a good one, and was thor- j
oughly enjoyed by all who were able
to hear it. Oslo has many good mu-
sicians and their talent was heartily
appreciated by the crowd. But the
best feature of the whole day was t.e
big dinner which was spread in the
church after the program had been
rendered. The spread was one of the
finest we have ever seen on an oc-
casion of this kind. We didn't know
there was bo much of "the fat of the
land" in all Hansford county as was
crowded on the tables. The price was
too small for such a dinner, and the
< i.urch ladies should raise the charge
next year or cut down the quality. In
the afierfioon a ball game, sports oi
all kinds and a general good time was
indulged in to the pleasure of the
Mg crowd. The oslo celebration May
17, is a lixed thing in that community
of excellent farmers and there are
hundreds who are glad of it. It
means a good time once every year.
Figure on a Tumping Haul
While it has not been definitely de-
cided upon, the members of the
s. hool hoard are figuring on and want
au expression of opinion fiom the
patron* of the school district regard-
ing the construction of a pumping
plant for ihe school house. The idea,
.a the opinion of the Herald, id a
good one. It will be practically im-
possible to make the place attractive I
and keep the trees growing as they |
-hould unless some steps of that kind
are taken. A first class equipment,
• omplete, can be put up or down,
whichever way you want to put it,
for $600 or even a little less. With
g'.ich an equipment water can be fur-i
nished in abundance and the gaso-
: ne engine can be looked after by J
the janitor, who can keep things u,> i
and going. The school park can be
made a beautiful spot with but little .
money, if the same is handled care (
fully. The levy for this district isj
paid to be the smallest of any district
of its size in Oklahoma. It might be
necessary to raise the levy a littie,
but the bentits derived will be worth
the price and then some. The ground J
> already tiled and a good well will)
make that block a thing of beauty to
the town forever. Think it over. The
t oard wants an expression of opinion \
before attempting anything. If you
want to help make Guymon more
beautiful now iB the time to get busy.
Good Showers Monday
This section of the southwest was
again visited by good showers Mon-
day. The county was wet up in i
pretty good shape and the results ot j
the rains will mean that all farm or'
garden crops will come along again |
with a new lease on life. The re-
ent rains have done much toward
making the grass good for this time
of the year, which the stock men
appreciate greatly.

The many friends of Re\. and Mr ;.
Murphy of the Baptist church gath-
ered at the parsonage Tuesday night
and showed their appreciation ol this
estimable couple by leaving a grtat
pile of goods of this world as a re-
.uembrance of the visit. The visitors
enjoyed then.selves until a late hour
when refreshments were served, after
which all left for their respective
homes. Rev. and Mrs. Murphy are
well liked by the Baptists, as well
as others who know theni, and the
evening was one ot' pleasure to all.
A Splendid Mu.sicale
Monday night the pupils of Miss
.Maud Smith gave a musk-ale at the
opera house which was greatly en
joyed by everyone present. The en-
tertainment was excellent and the pu-
pils did credit to themselves. Miss
Smith has a large class in music In
Guymon and her splendid work in in-
structing is showing in the ability
of her pupils. Everyone who attended
the recital enjoyed the mus<c greatly
and expressed a hope that Miss Smith
and her pupils will give us another
treat of this kind at some early date.
Guymon wants to get better acquaint-
ed with her coming musicians.

Play The Game
.lust play the game and play It on the square;
Some men may break the rules to your desoalr
Hut let them do it; any fool can beat
Who plays with honest men and stoops to cheat.
It takes a head to win when playing tail-
Dare all the risks your nerve will let you dare,
lie fails the worst who plays with too much care
But whether tasting glory or defeat,
.1 list play the game!
Don't hog the chances; no, but take your share;
Don't cater to the grand stand folks who stare.
Keep on the job. be braced for what you tneei.
Till time is called the game is not complete.
And here's your motto, always, everywhere,
"Just play the game'"

Fcott Pate, farmer and good fe!
ov., was in from his home on route
Saturday and made this office a
; asant tall. Mr. Pate informed u:
that he has 50 acres of the finest
" heat he has seen this year, and the
'•erald will take his word for it be-
ng au excellent stand. For week-
e have heard people talking a! out
1' Pate's fine wheat and we know-
it must be good. Every person we
have talked with who has seen the
.eld says Mr. Pate has the best wheat
seen iu Texas county this spring. We
hope lie makes a lortune from it.
Will Vi«it Guymon Friday
F. J. Meek, representative of the
Oklahoma Farm congress, will be in
Guymon tomorrow at two o'clock to
address the farmers of Texas county.
We got this information too late last
j week to use it The letter advising
Harry Clark of Mr. Meek's coming is
as lollows: Hear Sir: At the re-
quest of the Oklahoma Farm con-
gress, i shall visit Guymon May 23rd,
to confer with the committee of
which you are chairman, and other
business men of the city, concerning
plans for the formation of a co-op-
erative organization of farmers, In
the solution of the problems of in-
creased production and improved
| market facilities for farm products,
i You are familiar with the purposes
I of the Agricultural conference, which
I was recently convened at Tulsa, and
ako the plan of organization agreed
l to by that meeting. It was the hope
i t' that meeting, and also of the board
! of direc tors, which was selected at
| that meeting that it would be possi-
I ble during the month of June to ex-
tern! into each county a working or-
i - uilzation somewhat similar to tb«
organization now in effect in eastern
| oklahoma. I shall appreciate It If
. \ou will consult with the o:her mem-
bers of your committee with refer-
fence to the advisability of calling in
as many progressive farmers, as may
I be conveniently reached, for partici-
i pat ion in this conference. I have
already visited fourteen counties in
western Oklahoma, and each county
I have visited is now busily planning
tor a meeting at which they hope to
perfect such un organization, which
| will co-operate with the federal gov-
ernment in the employment of an ag-
ricultural expert, which will promo.o
! road building and every form of Im-
provement that Is intended to make
farm life more pleasant and more
profitable. We lind that the farmers
can meet with us ipore conveniently
in afternoon meeting, usually at 2
o'clock. I would BUggest that you
ask the other towns of your county
to send delegates to thiB meeting,
and where possible, arrange to have
as large a representation of farmers
as you can. After consulting the
members of your committee, kindly
make such arrangements for such
meeting as you see fit. Very truly
yours, F. J. MEEK."
If You Don't
Like Pills
and we never saw anyone who did—you will doubtless be pleased
to know of something better.
For instance—dainty tablets of milk chocolate containing a
tasteless laxative, so that if you did not know it was medicine, you
would think you were eating sweet chocolate. That is the way
.. PENSLAR REGULAX ..
1b made. Eating one or two of these delicious tablets is a very dif-
ferent matter from swallowing pills, and this makes them very ea y
to give to children.
Kegulax does not gripe. Its action Is very similar to that of
castor oil. It is a fine laxative. 2f> cents a box.
This Is another of the Penslar remedies over 100 of them in
aU—one for every need. They are all good the Penslar name is
never placed on anything that is not known to be the best of Its
class.

A Chautauqua in July
Some time the latter part of July
the people of Guymon and vicinity
will have the pleasure of attending a
Chautauqua of no small magnitude.
Something like a couple of dozen
business men of Guymon have guar-
anteed the attraction for the town,
whic h will likely open July 2:!. Some
noted attractions have been sched-
uled, among them being Caleb Pow-
ers of Kentucky, who should prove
worth the price. Later on the Her-
ald will contain advertising setting
forth the attractions. Watch for it
for it will be of interest.
