THRIFTY DAY FEBRUARB 3.
February third has been set
aside as "Thrift Day" by a larg;
part of the people of this coun-
try. That day will be observed
in Granite by both of our bank-
ing institutions. The object of
"Thrift Day" is to stimulate the
habit of saving among our peo-
ple. Some of the greatest ior-
tunes of the United States were
founded on the savings started
by depositing a few pennies
weekly, and adding to their.
Talk the matter over with Gran-
ite bankers, and let them shov
you what the saving of a few
nickels or dimes weekly will
amount to in the course of a
year. Ask almost any middle
aged man, who is in poor cir-
cumstances, and he will tell you
that if he had the money he has
spent foolishly, he would be in-
dependent. Make it a point to
observe "Thrift Day,, Feb, 3 by
starting a savings account with
one of our banks. You will
never miss the money, and at
the end of the year you will find
Windle Bros., the big cotton
growers south of town, thH
week showed the editor a check
for $7749.90, the proceeds of
their crop of cotton in 1914.
These gentlemen were offered
at the time their cotton was gin-
ned 6Vj cents per pound. They
declined to take that price, and
stored the cotton. Last week
[they sold it to S.'W. Broiles for
12.27 almost double what they
were first offered.

SOUTHERN INVENTORS
(By Oklahoma State Board of Health)
Oklahoma has had practical
experience with influenza or
grippe during the last five or six
weeks that has resulted in much
sickness and many deaths. Such
an experience should make it im-
possible for anybody to forget
that the discharges due to sneez-
ing and coughing should be
caught in a handkerchief or
cloth and burned. The influen-
za germ attacks without warn-
ing, and the best way to prevent
the spread of this disease is to
control the agencies by which
it travels.
Sneezing in another's face by
an influenza sufferer rarely
fails to convey the disease.
Street cars, and public gather-
ings gave the influenza germ its
best opportunity. Fresh air in
large volume is fatal to disease
germs, and highly beneficial to
human beings. According 'y,
all living rooms should be well
ventilated at all times, even in
coldest weather. Raise all the
windows frequently and let in
Finally the two young men
were quieted and Sheriff Henry
called. That officer came as
quickly as possible, and took
them to Mangum and placed
them in jail.
On being arraigned before
Judge Thacker Monday, both of
the Moore boys waived pre-
liminary triaal and their bonds
were fixed at $750 each, which
at this writing they have been
unable to give.
| Another arrest was also made
by the officers, who took George
Benge, charging him with at-
tempting to rescue a prisoner.
Mr. Benge made bond in the sum
of $500, and was released. Mr.
Caddel says that while he had
hold of Claude Moore, Mr.
Benge took him by the arm and
attempted to pull him away.
Marshal Caddel is being com-
mended on all sides for his cool-
ness in the matter, as few peace
officers, armed as he was,
would have stood for the punish-
ment that he did without shoot-
ing. He says that he could
have killed Moore, and was
tempted to do so, but that he is
now glad he did not.
In the meantime, the law-abid •
ing citizens must not fail to back
up their faithful officials, par-
ticularly those whose service to
the public entails a continous
hazard of health and life. It is
the public official who dares
stand out for the enforcement of
the laws, even when it is an un-
popular and dangerous thing to
do, whom law-abiding citizens
should delight to commend and
to support.

1878 she was married to Mr. I .

marriage Mr. and Mrs. Belmore

Mrs. G. W. Wiley, of thia city,

RULINGS AS TO SUBSCRIPTIONS
SCRAP WEST OF TOWN
We clip from an exchange the
following decisions of the Unit-
ed States Supreme Court in re-
gard to newspaper subscriptions
Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary
are considered as wishing to re-
new their subscriptions.
If subscribers order a dis-
continuance of their periodicals
the publisher may continue to
send them until all does are paid.
If the subscriber refuses to
take the periodical from the
postoffice to which they are di-
rected, he is responsible until he
has settled his bill and ordered
the paper discontinued.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the
publisher, and the papers are
sent to the former address, the
subscriber is held responsible.
The courts have held that re-
fusing to take periodicals from
the postoffice, or removing and
leaving them uncalled for is
prima facie evidence of inten-
tion to defraud.
If the subscriber pay in ad-
vance they are bound to give
notice at the end of the time if
they do not wish to continue tak-
ing it, otherwise the publisher is
authorized to send it and the
subscriber will be responsible
until express notice with pay-
ment of all arrearager is sent to
the publisher.
and kill every one that may be moved to Muscatine, Iowa,
where their only son, Bert, now
of Tucumcari, N. M., was born.
In 1892, when the El Reno open-
ing took place, the family moved
to that city, and in 1900, came
to Granite, where they have re-
sided ever since.
Mrs. Belmore joined the Pres-
byterian church 28 years ago,
and has ever lived up to the
tenets of the Christian faith.
She had been an invalid for
several years, and since last
June had been almost helpless.
Everything known to modern
medical science was resorted to
in order to give relief to the
stricken sufferer, but to no pur-
pose. and she passed away at
the hour mentioned, confident
in the bright and glorious be-
yond, where all sufferings cease.
The funeral has been delayed
awaiting the arrival of her only
son, Mr. Bert Belmore, of New
Mexico, and two brothers,
Messrs. B. F. and D. P. Young,
of Calloway, Nebraska.
They are expected to arrive
on the two o'clock train this
afternoon, and the funeral will
take place immediately after-
ward with interment in the City
Cemetery.
Rev. H. O. Fee will be in
charge of the services, while the
following pall bearers have been
selected: W. E. Bogan, R. B.
Gooqh, S. W. Broiles, P. J.
Stacey, J. C. Flynn and Dan
Matthewson.
Due to poor health, a sister,
Mrs. H. R. Fellows, of St. Al-
bans, Maine, was unable to at-
tend the funeral.
