the official report turned i.i to the
city from th'3 Ludlow sti-cer. jail
where the Alimony club ha its hang-
out and wh?ie a .few cnamy aliens
and political prisoners have baen in-
epicerated.
As a matter of fact city officials
have very little todo with this mir-
acle for a woman does the cooking.
It Is due to her that the price Is
kept down according to Sheriff
Knott.
That woman Is Mrs. Rose Taylor
who for HI jeers has prbided over
the kltc'.ie.i back of the Jul!. Mr.
Tylor Is YS years old but sai .-ho
Is just as spry and healihy a: a
youngster. Only her wrinkled anil
hardened hands give avi'Jenco that

end a cupboard graces a Bide wall
and a long kitchen tables occupies
the center. Jt 1b spotlessly clean for
Mrs. Taylor's life center around that
kitchen. She has neither family nor
friends. Her home is In the prtaon.
If you ask Mrs. Taylor how on
earth two hundred and ninety pen-
nies ca ncover a grown man's three
"squares" seven days in the week
she discreetly refers you to Warden
Johnson and Sheriff Knott who or-
der the food and spend the money.
Her part she suys only consists of
"managing to get along.".
"It Isn't hard to cook for a lot of
people" she added cutting the frank-
furters (Monday Is frankfurter dya
at the jail) "If you have plenty of
stuff and they're not stingy with me
here. 1 don't have to scrimp. I wish
I could have a gas stove though."
"No I haven't any modern conveni-
ences around my kitchen. I ha've to
make the coal stove every day and
I you certainly have to wash that stone

You notice Mrs. Taylor still hasn't
explained about that $2.90 and she
won't. This Is how Sheriff Knott
says It's done:
The dally ornlng enu consists of
cereals .coffee bread and butter. At
night the Inmates get tea bread and
butter and prunes or apple sauce.
The noon meal Is the big meal of the
day and it proceeds according to a
generally unvaried schedule.

Wednesday Gouffs!!with" beans.

Friday Pea soup fish .macaroni.
Saturday Roast beef and potatoes.
.And we have It on the. autahority
of Warden Johnson that the portions
are a lot bigger than those one gets
In a restaurant. r
Neither does the Jail eels Its stuff
at low prices. The warden buys his
provisions from stores In the neigh-
borhood and pays for it the same
price that eevry housewife on Lud-

Pay Cash and Pay Less
When you pay cash you are sure to pay less.
You pay only for what you buy and no bad ac-
counts. The Dixie sells strictly for cash to
everybody that's why we sell for less.
I Ducyan Hutltllncy
Strictly One Price
We have - strictly one price to everybody.
Everything is marked in plain figures and
-that's the -price you pay. We have no favor-
ites. We treat everybody alike. It pays to
trade at the Dixie.
Bargain Basement Opens Saturday
Saturday morning at 8 a. in. The Dixie Bargain Basement opens ready for business. People who have not seen the basement as we now have it ar-
ranged do not realize the additional space and attractiveness which the basement adds to our store. In fact the Bargain Basement is a bargain store by it
self. It will be the home of "Dixie Bargains" and we believe will be the busiest floor in the entire store.
Watch and wait! Come Saturday; see for yourself. The Dixie is only beginning to grow in Chickasha.
