LOCAL ITEMS

The Pike Hotel is minus a night
clerk, who departed without notice
early Tuesday morning. Manager
Saunders says he took all the monsy
he left in the cash drawer for change,

wages that were due him he has no
complaint other than that he does not
like to be left so unceremoniously to
fill both the day and night shift be-
hind the desk.
Mrs A. O. Teter of Lamont and
Mrs. G. A. Claycomb of Sedalia. Mo.,

Women of Guymon met together
in the big auditorium of the Guymon

less of aim or purpose fo the club, and
women who are not members of any
dub and yet desire to work with us
for a bigger and better Quymon are
invited to come into this federation
which we feel is the biggest thing
women of Guymon have ever under-
taken. Years ago, having a desire
for things worth while and prompted
by a natural social instinct, women s
clubs of various kinds were organized
and brought women together in
groups in Guymon. During one year
of this time the war clouds hung over
us and these various clubs through

organization and training, were un- ture has been sumptuously produced
consciously fitting themselves for a I while the supporting players are of
great work in the terminating of the
clubs into this great city federation..
With the many problems of this re-
construction and readjustment per-
iod, the cuub woman turns to the
fundamentals of a federated organi-
zation4 for the basis of services. Ev-
ery woman knows the positive effect I
of education upon character and the
influence that can and does radiate
from federated work. Then, too, we
feel that the ballot is a sacred priv-
ilege given to the women of our state
and we do not propose to have it said
that the ballot Jias been lightly ac-
cepted by the women of Guymon.
We as women, do not mean to us-
urp any responsibilities that the men
may feel are theirs, but at any time :
the splendid Good Roads Club of Guy-
mon has a proposition too big to put
over, if they will call upon us, we are
at their command, ready, always to
stand with the good clean male citi- !
zens of Guymon for, the betterment of
Guymon. . ^
Mrs. J. Q. Denny was elected Presi-
dent of this federation and has as-
sumed the responsibilities which ac-
company the honors of her position of
trust and privilege. Mrs. W. P. Smith
was elected Cive-President. and Mrs.
Geo. Ellison, Treasurer. A committee
composed of Mesdames Kennedy, Lott
and Walker was appointed to draw
by laws and constitution. The execu-
tive board will be made up of one
member from each club in the town
and one lady who is not a member
of any club.
We trust that the future months
will be filled with haopiness and
much work. Never did the world
need to heed more fully the Master's
injunction. "Love they neighbor as
theyself, than now. Trust must fiake
the place of distrust and susoicion. A
consideration for one another and* a
patient sympathetic interest must
manifest itself in our citizenship if
we would avoid the choitic abyss be-
fore us. "Now is th t'me to lend a
hand, not after awhile."
We shall be so kind in the after a
while,
Rut what have we been today?
The bringing in of two gas wells
by the Prairie Oil and Gas company,
northwest of Amarillo, makes the
proven gas territory a field fifty
miles long and fifteen miles wide,
with a daily capacity of 400 nnlion
cubic feet. It is expected by June 1
the daily capacity in the Amarillo
field will exceed a billion oubin feet.
MISS LORENA HENSON
IN "OH, OH, CINDY!"
Miss Lorena Henson was one of the
little girls from the St. Mary'B School
at Wichita to be chosen to take part
in the play, "Oh, Oh, Cindy." This
play was one of the biggest events
of the kind ever produced in Wiohita,
and was given at the new Crawford
Theatre last week. Mif^Lorena
played the part of a fire-fly girl,
which was specially mentioned for^ta
excellence in the Wichita Beacon.
Mr. J. I. Henson went up to witness
the performance. '
The entrance room at the Wil-
loughby hotel is being plastered to
correspond with thfc lobby.
A. B. Sledge was in town Monday
fro-n his place north of town.
The work of layijift .he gn pipe
from the No. 1 TvAdors gas well to
the Traders No. 2 has begun and
the workmen are piaking good pro-
gress. At the rite they arc going
now it will not be long before the
gas from No. 1 will be eosumpd by
the engines of No. 2 as fuel. As
soon as this is done it will not be
many months until the public will
know the result of the second well.
It is certainty that the people of the
country are greatly interested in the
outcome, but they are no less an*"™8
to learn the-facts than the men drill-
ing the well, so we must have patience
and keep up the "pep."
The big rotary drUl that is being
used on the Traders No. 2 is such
that it will make the long trip down
in record time unless something very
much out of the ordinary hanpens.
we are certain that the Liberal field
will be a certainty before very long-

THREE INCH SNOW
FELL HERE MONDAY
In the early hours last Monday
morning it rained, changing to n
heavy fall of snow shortly after day-
light that continued most all the day.
The ground, already very moist from
previous rains is fairly ssaked into
mud—mud everywhere. The farm-
ers who have wheat plarted are sure
that it witf be very bewsficial to their
crop, but express sroipaOiy for their
neighbors who had been unable to get
their forage crops housed. It may be
sometime before they will be able to
get in the fields again, and this means
a loss.
