OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
• Entered at the Guymon, Oklahoma,
postofflcr n« second clsss mnil matter.
Editorial
We hear many words of commenda-
tion for the new county officials and
their accomplishments in running
down bootleggers and still men, and
tha citizens want the good work con-
tinued. There are some who do not
like the Sheriff's ruling on boxing
bouts, but he refers them to the state
law, tells them that he can interpret
it in no other way, and while the law
is so worded, he will endeavor to en-
force it. There are many people who
have never been able to discern any
great benefits or moral uplift from
what some term "the manly art of
self defense," but our observation is
that for maiming and disfiguring the
human race, it is not in it with foot-
ball, which is almost as dangerous as
a golf club in inexperienced hands.
Notice, we speak only from observa-
tion about boxing ar.d football, and
with regret about our skill with the
golf club. It is fair to say that public
aentiment is with the Sheriff's ruling
•n boxing.
Of course there are citizens who
just naturally know more about road
building than your Uncle Samuel, but
after building a (treat many thousand
miles of roads in all parts of the
United States, and the knowledge of
hia experts having been thoroughly
tested and tried out for practicability
and actual service, economy included,
your Uncle Samuel reserves the privi-
lege of directing where and how his
funds shall be expended on the roads,
and just won't interest himself In
them under any other conditions. The
fact that all the progressive commun-
ities in every section of the country
a re making the most strenuous en-
deavors to take advantage of Uncle
Sam's aid is a testimonial in favor
of his system. No section which has
been able to secure Uncle Sam's road
aid would have them taken out now
at triple their cost. "Anything that
ia worth doing, is worth doing right."
It Is essy to fret rid of the misery
of heartburn or Indigestion. Herblne

A GOOD MAN
PASSES AWAY
James Andrew Dotta was born
September 20th, 1852, in Clinton
County, Ohio, and died January 30th,
1923, in Guymon, Oklahoma, at the
age of 71 years, 4 months and 10 days.
Mr. Dotts came from a family of
eight boys and three girls, there be-
ing six brothers and two sisters who
survive him. Three brothers live in
''raig county, Oklahoma, two in P£r-
ry, Okla., and a brother and two sis-
ters in California.
Mr. Dotts was married to Miss
Amanda E. Hagler, January 5th,
1876 in Clinton, Ohio, and to this un-
ion two sons were born, Wm. F., who
is manager of the Guymon Equity
Exchange and J. Thurman of Bur-
bank, Okla.
Rev. Abernethy conducted funeral
services Wednesday afternoon at 3:30
from the family home when a large
gathering of the family, friends and
neighbors paid loving tribute to the
memory of a life so gentle that it in-
jured no man but existed to bless all.
Mr. Dotts was a kind husband, loving
father, indulgent grandfather, and a
good neighbor and citizen. He had
been in poor health for some time,
but the immediate cause of his death
was probably due to blood poisoning
occasioned by a injury to the fost
which developed into a bad sore. Al-
though he suffered a great deal he
was always jolly and ready to laugh
and joke with relatives and friends
who ministered unto him. At ten
o'clock last Saturday night, the good
wife had him tucked away in bed,
hoping for a good night's rest, after
a day of nervousness and pain and
true to his cheerful nature he was
joking with wife and friends who
were helping when he dropped off
into sound sleep which lasted fifty-
two hours and at two o'clock Tues-
day morning the heart stopped beat-
ing and he had entered that rest which
is free from pain, anxiety and sorrow.
Rev. Abernethy's splendid sermon
pointed to the fact that time is fleet-
ing and that our stay on earth is a
peraparation for life eternal. That
jwe live in thoughts and deeds and
I that he lives most who lives true to
I the highest ideals and aspirations.
Mrs. Charlie Bradshaw and her
'daughter, Miss Jewel, very touchingly
' rendered the vocal music.
Both sons, with their families and
one brother, Mr. J. W. Dotts and his
| wife were present at the funeral. The
grief stricken fami'y and many sor-
| rowing friends followed the remains
to the Guymon cemetery where inter-
ment was made.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to thank the neighbors
and friends who so kindly offered us
sympathy and assistance during the
illness and after the death of our be-
loved husband, father and brother
We are grateful 'for the beautiful
floral tributes, the solacing sermon
and the comforting songs.
Mrs Amanda Dotts,
W. F. Dotta and family,
J. Thurman Dotts and family,
J. W. Dotts and wife.
THE MOTHER'S CLUB
HELD FINE MEETING
The session of Mother's Club held
on, last Monday evening was a very
interesting one. The program was
carried out in full, each number show-
ing skilled preparation. The social
hour proved to be a very "live" one in
which each one present had a part
and a share in bringing honor or de-
feat to the "apples or" "potatoes",
whichever line they chanced to in-
nocently find themselves a part of.
The "Indoor Golf" engaged in by the
men proved that without exception
they had spent much time in the prac-
tice of the game which they so sue
cessfully played in such an artistic
manner. Having so strenuously ex-
ercised themselves, the men were
"tired" so the entire company were
invited to find chair sand be seated in
a circle and to their surprise imme-
diately appeared little maids in white
aprons who in graceful manner served
cake and cocoa or coffee to each.
These were Domestic Science girls of
our school, under the direction of Mrs.
Smith so of course they could serve in
a becoming way.
Forty-three members were pres-
ent and many viaitors. The three pic-
tures to be given to the three rooms
which secured the largest percentage
of members were awarded as follows-
lat—First A, Miss George teacher,
MH per cent; 2nd—First B. Miss Sal-
ter teacher, 48 per cent; 3rd—Third
B, Miss Shaw teacher, 39 per cent.
The Sixth Grade, Miss Clark teach-
er, had a greater number of mothers
enrolled as members than the Third
B, but owing to large enrollment in
their room their percentage was
much leas.
The Tenth Grade won the picture
for the month, having the largest
number of mothers present at the
meeting.
