The first G H. S. Minstrel Show
P^yed to a large and apprecia-
tive house last Wednesday evening
■when the "Tired Tommy Trampa"
presented their versatile program of
music and readings.
Hugh Willoughby in the part of
the interlocutor was the king of the
evening, introducing his company with
appropriate remarks arid prefacing
each number with a clever saying.
Hugh is always at his best in getting
a joke off on someone and so of course
he excelled himself Wednesday even-
ing.
Many of the special numbers de-
serve extra mention. "Mr. Gallegher,
Mr. Shean" ung by Josh Alexander
and Omer Henson proved to be a hit,
both boys having very good carrying
voices. Mildred Wray in a solo part
was very well received and "The
REPORTS PROGRESS
IN LEGISLATION
Senator W. G. Hughes was called
home last Thursday to attend the
funeral of his nephew, Ralph 0.
Black, which occurred last Friday,
tnd remained over with his family
until Monday. He reports that the
closing days of the legislative session
f" ° filled with work that he has
little possible time to furnish reports
of progress to his home papers. He
feels that he and Dr. Lightner have
been very successful in securing the
needed appropriations for the Pan-

college, but has little hopes of any
aid for our Free Fair further than

CLEAN UP DAY
The streets, alleys, vacent lota and
back yards of Guymon lack consid-
erable of looking as presentable as
they should for the entertainment of
visitors who are coming to attend our
conventions—in fact they lack a good
deal of being as sanitary as good
citizenship should inspire. The mat-
ter came up for consideration at the
Good Roads Club meeting Monday
nltrht, and it was decided that the job
should be done, and everyone then
stool up and volunteered to assist In
the work. It was also decided that
the business men, women's clubs. Boy
Scouts, householders, city, officials
and in fact everyone in town should
participate in a clean-up day anq
Messrs. Rizley, Mathewson and Mil-
ler were appointed a committee to
take the matter in hand. This com-
mittee selected Saturday, March 24,
and Mayor Gray has issued a pro-
clamation, which is printed elsewhere,
cllling on the citizens to observe
the day. If your surroundings sre
not just what they should be, you
need not wait for the day to do the
work—it is always in order to clean
up, but on that day, there will be an
