more dollars. They certainly won't earn anything

MRS. HOMER HILL'S GLEE CLU1I
The following Item from the Way-
noka paper speaks most highly of tho
splendid work accomplished by tho
Boys' and Girls' Glee Club of that
place who have been trained by Mrs.
Homer Hill formerly of Beaver and
whose work with the glee club hero
will be well remembered:
Waynoka's citizens we'ro certainly
very agreeable surprised nnd over-
joyed with tho splendid program giv-
en by the boys' and girls' glco clubs
last Friday night at the high school
auditorium. Many enthusiastic com-
ments were heard on all aides and
mnnv nt thn nntrnnn hnntpnpil in Mm.
I Hill the director and to Mrs. Stln-
son the accompanist nnd compli-
mented them upon the very excellent-
ly arranged nnd well rendered pro-
gram and upon tho tnlcnt which had
been developed In such a short time.
'Much discrimination was shown in
the selection and the arrangements of
parts and costumes so well adapted
to each charncter. Never before have
our high Bcliool students made such a
good appearance In public. They are
to bo complimented on their appear-
ance and the manner In which the
program was rcndeied due to tho ex-
cellent training of the director nnd
their competent accompanist.
Mnny requests were received to re
peat the program which Is not likely
to bo done. Very probnbly the clubs
will appear In the future In nn entire-
ly now role.
One of tho features of tho evening
was the appearance of the eight high
school boys In full dress suits nnd
the manner In which they comported
themselves so at ease. Tho girls
wero appropriately dressed for tho
occasion. Several numbers nB "The
Dairy Maids"- "Itory O'Moore" and
"I Love A Lassie" presented a very
pleastng'nppearnnce nnd the girls car-
ried away tho house with these
specials.
Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Stlnson have
given unstlntlngly of their time with-
out ono cent of pay that our Bchool
may have tho activities that belong
to every normal high school. . Tho
patrons should and do appreciate1
the efforts.
Splendid music wns furnished by
an orchestra under the direction of
Mrs. Richardson. Those assisting
were: Mrs. Richardson 1st violin;
Maude Hawkins 2nd violin; Mr. Fin-
ley violalst and Miss Luclle Pryor
accompanist. Several selections were
rendered and were very much ap
preciated by the audience.
After the program a considerable
number remained' they having been
invited to attend a reception given by
the parents of members of the glee
clubs In honor of the clubs the mem-
bers of tbe-faculty and Mrs. Hill and
Mrs. Stlnson. The eighth grade room
was beautiful decorated In the high
school colors. The decorations the
gleaming silver the beautiful hand
painted place cards the artistic work
of Mrs. Goranflo with streamers at-
tached to carnations as favors called
forth many exclamations of surprise
and commendation and much praise
Is duo the parents for the splendid re-
ception. The excellent mothers who
prepared the splendid two course ban-
quet and the fathers who footed the
bills show that they apperclato the
efforts that are being made In behalf
of their children. No wonder that
our boys and girls. are tho kind they
aro when they have the splendid par-
ents that these parents have shown
themselves to be.

sponded to at the call of Supt. Hill

RED CROSS MAKES REFUGEE
GARMENT SHIPMENT
A nice consignment of Refugee
garments were shipped out from
County Chapter headquarters tho
past week to division headquarters
at St. Louis from which point they
will be consigned overseas for tho re
lief and comfort of the destitute of
the war-rlddcn country of our Allies.
It should be a comfort to those of us
who living In our fair land not
touched by the cruel hand of war
should find It possible to contribute
to the comfort of tho women and lit
tle children of crushed 'Europe who
haveTaken the stlnR that' might haw
fallen to' us. Their shoulders have
been broard and willing to lift the
load and bear the burden. Our
fingers should be nlmblo and our
hearts glad to do everything possible
for them. Tho Red Cross Is truly a
mission of mercy In all Its activities
but never. It seems to us does It
come so near to fulfilling tho wishes
of Him who said "Suffer the Utile
children to come unto mo and forbid
them not for of such is the Kingdom
of Heaven" as when they labor In
their work of love to clothe the bodies
of those brave mothers and those sad-
faced children who do not know
what play or laughter Is. Beaver
County Chapter Is proud of Its large
consignment of 295 refugee
gauuents shipped this week. May we
ship more nnd often.

Maybe ho'h sell a horse to a man in a neighboring town
and receive a check in payment. Did you ovor stop to
think that if it wero not for this bank you would have to
bo on tho road half the tlmo going (iftor money or taking
money some place. We make no charge for cashing your
