Pcnick't Racer Reedy
Clay Penick. of the Penick Gar-
ace, has gotten his new racing car
together and is now ready to go out
and take first prise away from some
of the fellows who have been talking
of the speed of their cars Clay has
the car painted gray and is using
wire wheels. Altogether it is a very
■ice looking car and from what we
can learn is also some car for speed.
Well, here's hoping that it may do all
Mr. Penick expects of it—Texhoma

Little Twister Here Sunday
Lest Sunday evening was very quiet
and warm with a few clouds hovering
over this vicinity. About 10:30
o'clock a wind came up with consid-
erable velocity, making it almost im-
possible to Ree across the street. The
next morning it yas reported that it
was not only a wind but a little
twister that hit the old Krisle place
one mile south of town. It lifted
the south end of the house fifteen or
twenty feet off the foundation and
turned it over on its side. No one
lived in the houae.—Fowler News.
diet of first degree murder. Motion
for new trial was overruled and de-
fendant sentenced to life imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. No appeal
to the supreme court will be made.
C. E. MrCrellis formerly lived at
Englewood and was well known here.
His wife, who survives him. was for-
merly Miss Lou Bodle of this city.
Grim also haa a wife.—Meade County
News.
Mexican Ordered to Vamoosa
A report came to the city marshal
last Wednesdsy morning that a Mex-
ican had been laying about the city
for the past few days and during this
time he was agitating the war ques-
tion in the minds of the Mexicans
here in order to get them to return
to Old Mexico and help them whip
the United States and that he had re-
ported that he was in the raid made
by Villa on Columbus, New Mexico.
This did not take well with the officer
so he and the editoi made a trip to
Optima and headed off this umbra
and put him thru the third degree
but nothing definite could be learned
from him. He was notified to get
out of the country on the first train
and the last seen of him he was dis-
appearing over the hills toward Guy-
mon.—Hooker Advance.
Railroad Work Progressing
The work on tae new railroad out
of Shattuck is progressing nicely and
even beyond the expectations of what
some of the bosses on the jobs have
anticipated. Piling is being hauled
out a distance of some seven or eight
miles and many teams and men are
at work every day. The piling has
all been driven for the Rock Creek
and Sand Creek bridges and the grade
is now ready for the track to U olf
Creek. The work on croaaing Wolf
Creek is the expected feat of the con-
struction work. It is expected that
it will take 30 days to put n the tem-
porary bridge across Wolf Creek
when the way then for rapid con-
struction will be open for fsir sail-
ing. In town much more work is be-
ing done in the yards and the tear-
ing down of old buildings and clear-
ing of grounds for the new depot is
going on. A hundred thousand dol-
lars worth of work is to be done yet
in Shattuck before the new road gets
out of town. The people of Shat-
tuck can appreciate what is going on
in our midst as the improvement be-
in? made by the Santa Fe means
much to our town.—Shattuck Moni-
tor.
Go to Chorch MsssbssI
Go to church that you may win ia
the great battle of life.
The greatest battlefield on ^lich a
man ever fought is within himself.
The greatest defeats are there and
the mightiest victories. Victory on
the field of one's own heart mean*
victory elaewhere. The greatest ma*
tery is aelf mastery. Every true
man. every true woman, recognises
this. Sin first stole our self mastery
away. It must be charged and flank-

making, selfishness? You. O. msn—
blasphemy, temper, appetite, passion
Have you gone down to defeat
again and again—seen your colors
drag at the very time you should
have been most eaaily the triumphant
victor? That's good. Then you
know the weak point in your line.
That's where the hottest conflict is
to be fought. There's the key to the
whole situation. YouH have to mass
your batteries there. "Are those

ment are the soldier's weakest points
Find out that point and defend it with
all your strength. Victory consist?
in holding on a moment longer.
If you want to conquer your great
vice you must go to church. It is in
church and in church alone that you
will find the weapons w,th which to
successfully wage the fight. The Go
to Church movement is sweeping on-
ward. It is irrestible. Join it now
Do not delay. Gi to church next Sun-
day. You will see your neighbors
there. You will be glad to see them.
They will be glad to see you.
Good Rsaia Items
L A. Allen, pioneer cowman and
for year* engaged in the live stock
commission business, died laat week
n Kansa* City. This announcement
may appear remote from the good
roads movement, but the parvenu is
reminded of the fact that as a pio-
neer cowman of the great souihwei*,
I L A Allen did much in marking out
the original trails and great thorough-
fares used in the early day*, all of
which were important in the develop-
ment of this wonderful country To
L. A. Allen as well as to hundreds

owes a debt of gratitude. They blared
the way to greater things and did the
work unselfishly Hundreds of men

Grim Gets Life
Curtis Grim, charged with the
murder of C. E. McCrellis near Ston-
ington, Colorado, on January 30, last,
has been tried and found guilty. The
defendant made a plea of tempor-
ary in anity, and was represented by
Judge Caldwell of Beaver City, Ok-
lahoma. and Judge Terrell of Spring-
field, Colorado. The state was repre-
sented by District Attorney J. W.
Hawley of Springfield and A. T.
Bodle of this city. The jury, after
being out eight hours, returned a ver-
Oklahoma's Publicity Bureau
Oklahoma is the latest state to
realise that newspapers are invalu-
able allies in any widespread attempt
to better the administration of rural
roads. Its state highway department
has organized a bureau of publicity,
under the charge of one of the old-
est journalists of the state, T. F.
Hensley of El Reno. The state and
federal funds for road building dur-
ing the next five years are estimated
at about $8,000,000, and in addition
there will be a large expenditure for
local road improvements. In order
to obtain the greatest returns from
the money it is necessary for the
state and local road builders to work
in harmony and for the public to un-
derstand what is being done and why.
The object of the bureau of publicity
is to furnish to county officials, news-
papers and others interested in high-
Tho Life of a Town
It takes live men to make a live
town. Dead men are only fit to in-
habit cemeteries If they are really
decently dead, dead all over, we ten-
derly lay them away in the sleep of
the tomb, but if they are only dead in
all enterprise and spirit, outside of
the narrow limits of their own sel-
fishness, and yet persist in walking
around, moving their calloused
hearts and consciences where real
business is wont to pulse and throb
with vigor they are really like the
drone bees, in the way until they
are stung to death and dragged out-
side of the hive of legitimate indus-
try. Twelve really live men are
worth more to a town generally than
a round full thousand of such useless
material that lays around like rub-
bish in a rushing stream that is ach-
ing and foaming to turn mills and
factories. Yes, live men bless and
dead men curse a town.
Tou. sis are numerous and every
day there are visitor* at good roads
headquarter* seeking information as
to route* and roads, particularly to-
ward Colorado over the D-C-D high-
way. This will eventually be a great
highway, particularly in view of the
fact that it is the shortest route by
100 miles to the mountains for people
living in Oklahoma and north Texas.
Texhoma announces that all mark-
1 ?rs for the Hockaday and Border-
' land trails are in readiness to be
! placed from Texhoma to Goodwell
All of the towns in the county are
showing commendable activity and
nterest in getting the highways in
>hspe and properly marked. Frank
fewell is looking after the work for
Texhoma and Frank may be depended
jpon to see that the work is done
right
One item aside from good roads
that should be considered by every-
body: There will be only a limited
amount of wheat raised in Texas
county this fall and the commercial
and rood roads clubs of every town
in the county should undertake to
con *rve the crop and keep it in the
county for planting this fall. There
ill be no selfishness about a move
of this kind as it paves the way for a
trreater acreage this fall and it is a
foregone conclusion that our county
must keep the wheat raised here in
order to plant another crop. One
elevator man in Guymon has made
the statement that he proposes to hold
every bushel of wheat that he gets
and will turn it back to farmers at
a very small margin when wheat
planting time arrives this fall.

The Guymon Good Roads Club will
become an active participant in any
movement for the benefit and de-
velopment of Texas county. Primar-
ily this club is promoting highways,
but it is also interested in the general
development of the county. The best
workers of the club encouraged the
sale of Liberty bonds and took an ac-
tive interest in the Red Cross move
ment. It is to the credit of this club
that it has talent for every emergency
and energetic workers for every com-
mendable undertaking. Its member-
ship is made up of farmers, preach-
ers, lawyers, bankers, laymen, news-
paper men, and business men in gen-
eral, and they all pull together.
The D-C-D markers are all up ex-
cept thru town. The job will be fin
ished thru town at an early date and
proper signs will be placed at all im-
portant turns and cross roads. There
are few bad and no dangerous places
on this highway thru Texas county.
