Sayre, OkU.
An Auxiliary Unit to the Glen
Russell Martin Post No. 146 Ameri-
can Legion was organized at Sayre
Friday afternoon with fifteen char-
ter members. The following officers
were elected: Commander, Mrs. E. E.
Wall; Vipe Commander, Mrs. F. A.
Benedict; Post Adjutant, Mrs. E. E.
Brown; Post Finance Officer, Mrs. L.
H. Randle; Post Historian, Mrs.
Oscar Speed; Executive Committee:
Mmes. C. C. Hullum, E. D. Baggs,
and C. E. Foster. The post will hold
its regular meettings the third Friday
in each month. This is the first
auxiliary unit to be organized in the
county.
The American Legion Post of
Sayre has secured the room in the
court house which was formerly used
as the office of the Local Board and
have established headquarters there.
Post Commander Fred Benedict was
the first boy to go from Beckham
County, and with the co-operation of
the other members of the Post have
furnished the roor.i very comfortably
with rugs, chairs and tables and the
boys are urged to use same at any
and all times of the day. The Post
is to be congratulated upon their
good luck in getting the use of this
room from the County Commission-
ers, because it is the most historical
spot in Beckham County in connec-
tion with the World War. Every
man who was called was examined
and sent from that room. All regis-
trations subsequent to June 6, 1917
were held there, and it was from
there that the Local Board and the
Red Cross wore allowed to perform
the last rites of sewing on arm bands
and issuing transportation and meal
tickets to the boys who were going.
The Post is entertaining the -wives,
mothers and sisters Thursday night
with a banquet and a “house warm-
ing in their new home.
Robert N. Bradley, veteran of the
World War, left Saturday night for
Houston, Texas, where he has enter-
ed Government Hospital No. 25 for
treatment.
H. T. Brauchi, one of the oldest
and be3t known citizens of this vicin-
ity dropped dead in the yard of his
son, Adolph Brauchi, at Amarillo,
Texas, Monday. Mr. Brauchi was
playing with the grandchildren in
the yard when he fell over dead. He
had gone to Amarillo a few weeks ago
to be treated for cancer of the throat
and was • thought to be recovering.
His remains were brought to Sayre
Tuesday and he was buried in the
Doxey-Sayre cemetery.
Little D. P. Lowe Jr., the seven
year old son of Prof, and Mrs. D? P.
Lowe, of Sayre, is enjoying the dis-
tinction of being the youngest high
school pupil in the state. When the
mid-year examinations were held last
week in the city schools D. P. Jr. was
promoted from the eighth grade to
the high school. He entered school
at the age of five years and has fin-
ished each grade successively, this
being his third year in school. He
has won two county and one district
medal in expression. His mother
has directed his study and has been
his teacher in expression. In spite
of his unusual attainments as a stu-
dent, he is a healthy normal young-
ster, vitally interested in the things
so necessary to the happiness of the
average small boy. A special ar-
rangement has to'be made in the

CHURCH OF CHRIST
After spending a busy week in
Oklahoma City attending Board of
Regents meeting, and Elders and
Preachers Lecture Course Week,
where I met and associated with some
thirty or more of our most active
ministers, I returned to Elk City Sat-
urday morning and found Elk City to
still be one of the best cities of any
size in this great state of ours.
I was greeted Sunday morning
with more than two hundred persons
who eagerly and patiently listened to
our morning lesson. From 6 to 9 p. m.
we held a very interesting Young
People’s class at my home on North
Main street. About 25 were present.
The time was spent in singing, prayer
and Bible study. All seemed to en-
joy themselves. The public is here-
by cordially invited to attend the
following services next Sunday:
Systematic Bible study at 10 a. m.
Preaching at 11 a. m.
Young People’s Bible class at some
private home at 6 p. m.
We will hold no service at the
church Sunday night. Our morning
theme will be “The Church at Work.”
J. A. Cullum, Minister.

INTERESTING FACTS
You do just four things: You think,
you remember, you imagine, you act.
When you learn to think better, re-
member better, imagine better or act
better, you increase your efficiency
and therefore, your income. Perhaps
you are very successful now, but of
ness between the ages of 40 and 50?
That ninety-five per cent have no
money at the age of 60? We have
been very successful in getting men
out of the eighty-five, the ninety-two
and the ninety-five per cent class.
Let us increase your salary. We
have been marvelously successful in
raising salaries, as is conclusively
proven in our catalogue by the letters
from former students. The business
world wants thinkers and doers.
There’s a famine of high priced men
today; there are thousands of men
worth a thousand dollars a year, but
■only a few worth ten thousand a
year. Be the latter kind of a man,
you can if you will. We know that
of the recent issue of township bonds.

20TH wedding anniversary
Mr and Mrs. Jas. McClain were
guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. E. Bowyer on Sunday, to help
them celebrate their 20th wedding
anniversary, which occurred the 21st
but it was impossible for McClain’s
to go out that day. Mr. McClain
says he knows that is the best place
in the world to go, and talked so
much about the big dinners he al-
ways gets out there, that we think
we will go out sometime ourselves
and "be shown.” And we won’t go
I the day we have ourtnilk diet either.
HAPPY HELPERS

MISTLETOE FROM ARKANSAS
The mistk*toe you haVe noticed in
our window arrived last Monday
from J D. Adams, of Blue Mountain,
Arkansas. In a letter was written:
“Here is an Arkansas souvenir. As
there are so many getting married
thought would send best wishes and
all the good luck, and from now on
when you hear of one getting mar-
ried hold a fcpray of mistletoe over
their head, for an old saying is it will
bring peace and happiness. This is
what is called a parasite—living off
something else, as many people do.
Mt. Magazine is six miles from
their home and an all up-hill climb.
Felicia Johnson, Tom Kincaid, Uncle
Jim Webb and Mr. and Mrs. Adams
walked up to the top one day. Uncle
Jim told Tom he Lad better take a
good look at the clouds for he might
hot be above them again. They say
they like .it better all the time in
Arkansas.

been published in St. Louis, Mo., the
most rema-kable book of its kind in
the world. This book has attracted
national notice year after year be-

predictions. Thousands of farmers,
orchardists, dairymen and families
generally have for years planned
their work by the information given
in this Almanac and it has saved
them hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars, because of the advance weather
information they have secured from
its pages. All the big storms, tor-
nadoes, blizzards end unusual weath-
er conditions have been predicted by
it a year in advance and to the very
day.

Louis Weather Book, kflown for
years as the Hicks Almanac, contains
more than 165 pages, illustrated with
storm charts and containing all the
predictions for 1922, is now ready
for distribution.

ing out by mail every day. The
present demand will soon exhaust
the first edition of 100,00.
If you will send 45c to The Lincoln
Press, 3401 Franklin Ave., St. Louis,
Mo., they will send you a copy pre-
paid by mail and guarantee safe de-
livery.
If you will mention this paper and
send 10c extra in stamps, they will
send you in addition a copy of their
64-page book, The Scientific Weather
Forecaster.

every home. Thousands say they
cannot get along without it. 2-2 p
