day to see his wife and son Hays,

able to return home next week.
It has been some time since our
readers have had the pleasure of
reading any gingles from the pen of
our staff poet George Ingels. He is
still alive and working hard at his
home down on the Hackberry. We
believe he will surprise the natives
some of these days by springing
novel for their perusal. If a book
ever comes from the pen of this au-
thor it will be a good one and its
ready sale is predicted before it ap-
pears.
The William Goodnight family that
have made their home in Guymon
ever since its inception, have sev-
ered their relations with the place
for a time, but we predict that it
won't be for long. They moved their
household effects to Amarillo Satur-
day. When "Uucle Bill" looks back
over the past years and thinks of
the times when he followed the buf-
falo over these plains, and the days
he spent in the saddle at the round-
ups before Guymon was ever thot
of. we believe he will feel a home-
sickness that can only be relieved by
a return to the home he has just left.

L. E. Latham is this week at the

Monday morning to attend the big
automobile show that is in session
there all this week. We had the
pleasure Friday of riding behind Mr.
Booth to Canadian in one of the late
model Buick sixes, for which he is
local dealer. After this trip of 220
miles in the one day without a sec-
ond's trouble or delay of any kind
we feel incapable' of giving just
praise to this wonderful car. It is a j
dream for comfort and a fiend for
speed. We doubt if there is a car .
on the market at anything like its |
price that begins to equal it.
T. W. Lownsdale, accompanied by
Rev. J. H. Rogers, drove in from
Payne Friday in the former's new |
car. While renewing his own sub- j
scription to the Herald Mr. Lowns-1
dale added the names of four friends j
in different parts of the United
States. A few subscribers like this |
one is worth while. Mr. Lownsdale
is one of the wheat raisers of Texas
county. He has 250 acres in this
year, some of which is looking good
above the ground and the roots of all
are alive. He walked out into his
field recently and reports that every
place he dug down to the roots he
found them green and in good con-
dition. He says that with rain this
month he will raise as much wheat
to the acre as any year heretofore.
Mr. Lownsdale bought the Rogers
farm that day and the transfer was
made while they were in town. Rev.
Rogers is advertising a sale of per-
sonal property March 2nd and will
move to Guymon.

The New High School Building
There are so many uses to which
a modern high school building may
be put that it seems wise to enum-
erate some of these uses to the citi-
zens so that they may intelligently
judge concerning the need of such
a building in Guymon.
First, a building with an adequate
auditorium may be used free of
charge by the pupils and citizens of
the community for plays, lectures,
concerts, conventions, agricultural
meetings, etc.
Second, a well equipped gymna-
sium may be used not only by the
pupils of the school but also by the
young men and women of the com-
munity who seek recreation and who

Third, a reading room and library
should be used by the entire com-
munity, and where such is provided
the public may be accommodated at
any time.
Fourth, a commercial department
should be provided for those who de-
sire such work. This department
should be fitted up with bookkeeping
and writing desks together with type-
writers so that adequate instruction
in the commercial subjects could be
given. This department-could prob-
ably be made self-supporting, as
many of the young people who leave
Guymon would be glad to pay tuition
for such work at home rather than
to attend a distant business college.
Fifth, a music studio should be
fitted up where under the supervision
of the school efficient instruction in
vocal or instrumental music could be
given at a minimum cost to those
desiring the same.
These are only a few of the pos-
sible uses which the citizens of Guy-
mon and the surrounding country
would make of an adequate building.
The sooner we get behind such a
proposition the better. Together,
all! Boost!
Box Supper at Plainview
Mrs. Ellen Harrison, teacher of
the Plainview school southwest of
Guymon, together with her pupils,

time Col. Wilmeth will cry the sale.
