GUYMON HIGH WINS
BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT
The impossible has happened. That
is, a few weeks ago it would have been
impossible for the Guymon basket hall
team to have won a game, much less
the tie game in a tournament. If goes
to prove, however, that we had the ma-
terial and it only took a week or so of
intensive training on the part of Prof.
Franks to get the hoys in winning
shape.
The tournament opened in the after-
noon with a game between Liberal and
Texhoma, in which the latter won with
a score of 3fi to 11. Some excellent
work was shown on the part of the
winning team and Guymon enthusiasms
felt that should the home team be «so
fortunate as to win in their game they
would have a hard time winning from
Texhoma.
The second game was between Ty-
rone and Guymon and was started as
soon as the first was finished. It
started with a rush and was a whirl-
wind all the way through. During the
first half Guymon had a walk-awav.
Tyrone couldn't keep the ball away
from Guymon's end of the court, owing
to the fast team work of the home
hoys. Henson, who starred all through
the game, made 20 points, of which the
greater part were made by long shots
around center or tipping them in the
basket when jumping. When the final
whistle blew, the score card showed 2-t
for Tyrone and 33 for Guymon.
This ended the preliminary games
and at 8 o'clock the gym was packed to
its utmost to watch the champions of
the afternoon. The first half in which
the score was 24 to 8, was too, one-
sided to be real interesting. During
the last half Texhoma whipped up a
little, doing their best playing in the
third quarter, but they were too far
gone to catch up and Guymon kept
piling up the score, finishing with 44
to 24, thus winning the beautiful lov-
ing cup that was put up by the Frank
D. Hood Drug company.
BURLEY C. NALL RE-
TURNS FROM FRANCE
When a boy returns from "over
there" his friends rejoice, hut when a
boy returns who has twice been re-
ported us dead, the rejoicing of his
friends and family is greater than mere
words can express. Such was the feel-
ing when Corp. Hurley C. "Nail,
familiarly known as Carroll, stepped
from No. 1 Tuesday. He was one
whose name appeared among the list of
missing from the ill-fated Tuscania that
was torpedoed on the eve of February
5, 19IX, and for six weeks his parents
mourned their loss. The lifeboat in
which he was supposed to he waff lost
with nil on board and that was the
cause of the false report. Carroll tells
us the noat was struck at 5:45 and he,
with about 200 others, remained with
her until about 9 o'clock. One of the
U-bpat destroyers, Pigeon by name,
was sighted at this time and she came
alongside and took them all to the
Irish coast. Everything they had was
lost and that delayed their return
somewhat, as their records had to be
straightened out before they could
return. They went to a rest camp in
I England on February 10 and remained
! there until JJdarch 24, when they
crossed the channel to St. Aignan,
France. Corporal Nail was given
special work and was kept at a small
French village; named Thenay for ten
months, giving the boys the final
toucIa>s in rifle and bayonet charges
and the gas mask tests. He has gained
20 pounds since entering the serviie
and is a fine specimen of noble Ameri-
can manhood. With his sister, Miss
Bonnie, he leaves this afternoon for
their home in Cimarron county near
Boise City.
WHAT A REAL FARMER
WHO WORKS CAN DO
DEATH OF M. M. HAWKINS
During the holidays'Mr. Hawkins
was afflicted with what proved to be
his fatal illness. It was a chronic heart
affection that grew steadily worse un-
til the end came to relieve him of all
suffering.
Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins have lived
southeast of Guymon for a number of
years and are well and favorably known
to the majority of our people. He was
an excellent farmer and his place four
miles from town was one of tlie best
kept homes in the county. He was
quiet of demeanor, paying strict at-
tention to his own business, always
ready to help a neighbor in distress.
He will be sadly missed by his family
and friends.
Mason Marion Hawkins was born in
Anderson county, Kentucky, on No-
vember 1, 18.: 3. He spent his early
life in Kentucky, where in 1879 he
was married to Miss Mary Bertha
Arnold. Seven children were born to
this union, the eldest daughter dying in
infancy. All his children were present
during his illness except tre eldest son,
James C., whose home is at Camargo,
Okla. The other children, Fred, Wil-
liam and Nevada, all live at home,
Welton N. is foreman of the Dalhart
Texan and Granville B. lives at Wich-
ita. The funeral services were con-
ducted at the home orf Sunday, pre-
sided over by Rev. J. G. Parsons of
the Christian church at Texhoma, and*
attended by a large concourse of
friends and neighbors. The interment
was in the Guymon cemetery.
N. A. Stevens, who owns a 240-acre
farm four miles northwest of Tyrone,
was it the county seat on business
yesterday We were fortunate in meet-
ing him because we learned what peo-
ple who make a real business of fa rul-
ing,•^ui do in this country that some
| people think too dry ti) even try t<
farm. Mr. Stevens looks like he
might he 40 years of age hut claims to
he nearing the three score mile post
and has been leaving the management
to a son for the past year, whoin.he
J says made over $5,000 on the place
last year. What interested us as much
as anything was the strawberry patch
I that has furnished the family table the
1 year found as well as relatives and
friends for several years. In 191(5, -3-
gallons were picked, in 1917, 253. Last
year Mr. and Mrs. Stevens decided to
cut the patch down as they didn't care
to do the necessary work for the larg.-
yield and only 90 gallons were picked.
Mr. Stevens has two wells on the place
which furnish a large reservoir in which
he has 2,000 fish. He will feed these
fifty bushels of grain during the next
five months when he expects to-sell
them at 25c each. Fish from one's
own reservoir is somewhat of a novelty
in these parts. Mr. Stevens' hobby has
always been a model country home and
from what we can learn he certainly
has one. His house is large and strictly
modern, his barn will hold 40 tons of
feed and house 40 head of live stock
and he maintains a strictly up-to-date
blacksmith shop on the farm. We
think Mr. Stevens has thoroughly dem-
onstrated that a man can make a good
living in this country without farming
a whole section of land.
GRANDPA McMAINS CELE-
BRATES 87th BIRTHDAY
The children and grandchildren of
J. T. McMains gathered at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. I. N. Stamper, in
Guymon Sunday in honor of his 87th
birthday. It was a complete surprise
to the old gentleman who enjoyed it as
much as anyone present. Mr. McMains
is one of the old settlers of the strip,
having located near what is now Ovi-
nia, 35 years ago. Here he raised the
large family that gathered abjjut him
on Sunday in honor of his long life of
usefulness. Forty-two children and
grandchildren were present. Four
generations were represented. After a
sumptuous dinner those present en-
joyed recounting happy reminiscences
of by-gone days. Those present with
their families were: Mr. and Mrs. I. N.
Stamper, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. McMains,
E. C. Pittman and W. G. McMains of
Guymon, I. V. Stamper, Jim Calvert,
Howard Stamper, P. P. Calvert, of
Optima, and J. A. McMains of Good-
well and R. M McMains of Hominy,
Oklahoma.
SPECIAL TERM DISTRICT COURT
Judge Clay arrived in town Monday
evening and Tuesday morning opened
district court in special session, prin-
cipally, it was said, to shape things up
for the regular May term. However,
the judge called, heard and disposed of
a large grist of cases, a numher of
which were divorce suits. Lack of
space and inability to get a complete
report prevents giving the proceedings
in this issue. At time of going to press
the Turkey Island Oil company case,
in which a number of our local citi-
zens are financially interested, was in
progress. Later—Injunction -dissolved
and temporary receiver discharged.
RABBIT BOUNTY AGAIN JULY 1
Commissioner Hall informs us that
the bounty on rabbits, which was re-
cently discontinued owing to exhau -
tion of the bounty fund, will go into
effect again July 1st.
Six head of cattle have been added
to the Geo. Foremar sale since the
bills were printed. They are good ones.

GUYMON BECOMING GOOD
HORSE AND MULE MARKET
Our horse and mule commission
firms, Harrison & Stephens and Wil-
mcth.& Chenault, have representatives
at the reiiiount stations over the coun-
try that are now disposing of the fine
equine stock that was bought for the
cavalry department for the world wrtr.
All of this stock is in the pink of con-
dition, having been picked up by ex-
perts all over the United States, fed
and cared for but never placed in
service. These firms have disposed of*
three carloads of these fine horses and
mules to Texas county farmers. This
is a good indication that nothing is too
good for the Texas county man.
EIGHTH GRADE EXAMINATIC
CHANGE IN SEVENTH GRADE
At a meeting of the school-board last
Wednesday evening the resignation of.
R. I). Mills was presented and accepted,
to take place immediately. Mr. Mills
has been instructor of the Seventh
grade and principal of the grades dur-
ing the past year. Rev. R.*C. Walker
was- asked to take his place for the
remainder of the present semester,
which • after consulting the official
board of the M. E. church, lie consented
to do so. Mr. Walker substituted in
this room recently, during illness in
Mr. Mills' family and he seemed the
only available man to call upon in such
'an emergency.
The Eighth Grade examination \
he held on April 17th and 18th, 191
at the following places: Texhoma,
Goodwell^ .Optipvu I looker, . Ty rone,
Palo Duro, Star, and Richland Center.
Teachers should not recommend that
their pupils take this examination un-
less they have covered the work
thoroughly.
For the benefit of those who have
not completed the year's work, a sec-
ond examination will be held on May
15th and 16th. Rules and regulations
governing these examinations will be
sent on request.

A YOUTHFUL TRAPPER
A number of the boys around the
county have found it remunerative as
well as a great source of amusement
to set traps for wild animals the past
winter. Herbert Williams, the 12-year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Williams,
south of town, has made $10 from the
sale of rabbit and skunk hides alone.
Tuesday morning, while going the
rounds of his traps, he discovered a
full grown coyote had been traveling
on forbidden ground and became en-
tangled in such a manner that he could
not get away. Hurrying back to the
house Herbert procured a gun and
shot Mr. coyote. This has been his
largest catch and he is justly proud of
the feat.
J- A. Scott has bought the old Herald
property of R. B. Quinn.
