A number of Oklahoma
farmers stocked their ponds
with German carp several years
ago and since have regretteo
their selection of fish. Attempts
to kill the carp with dynamite
are not always successful, as the
sluggish nature of the carp
causes it to lie close to the bottom
and bury in the mud. A Kansas
newspaper recently published
this recipe for preparing carp
for the table: Clean the car])
and hang it out in the sun six
weeks to dry, then nail it to a
pine board and cover it with salt
or mud. Let it stand two
months longer and then bake it
two days. Remove the nails,
throw the carp over the back
fence and eat the board.—Star.

School Notes.
The Guymon public school begins
Monday, Seotember 18th. Every
pupil of school age is expected to be
present the first day of school and to
attend every day of the school year

retards a system of schools so much
as irregular attendance, lack of
punctuality and truancy. Parents and
guardians are urgently requested to
carefully consider this fact throughout
the school year, and they are cordially
solicited to lend the school officials
and teachers their hearty co-operation.
The school authorities have elected
the following teachers: Primary
grade, MiasMattieFlinn, of Elmwood,
O. T., intermediate, Miss Linnie
Ferguson, of Hibbs, a T.; advanced,

board has adopted Milne's arithmetic,
