"Willie Wright of Sulphur, the

while Sergeant Huchnnun of Sul-

Waehlngton, Dec. 3.—Children
thruout the country ere exercising
tl.elr Ingenuity to obtain money to
buy U. H. thrift and war saving*
stamps In the nation wide eale 1
which start* Monday.
Spurred to action by their chil-
dren's persistence In obtaining
pennies, nickels and dimes for
their "stamp funds," parents, ac-
cording to the treasury depart-
ment, are Inquiring anxiously
nhout detail* of the sale and urg-
! lng quick responses that they may
get their youngsters started on a
systematic savings plan.
Therefore, the department In-
dorsed these suggestions:
Father should smoke cheaper ci-
gars and give the money thus
saved to the stamp fund.
When father shaves himself, he
should drop at least 15 cents Into
the etomp bank. If he tips the
barber, he should give 25 cent*.
All of father's new money should
po to tho children for stamps.
In buying papers, father never
should us# hie pennies, but always
break the smallest coin he has
above a penny and give all the re-
maining coppers to the stamp
fund.
Whenever father and mother in-
dulge themselves In luxuries, they
should set aside an amount equal
to the coet of them for atamps.

DISSOLUTION ACTIONS
Suits for voluntary dissolution
of the Savoy Cafe and the Morr-s
I ice Company were on record In
d'strlct court Monday.
“THE LAST OF LIFE FOR WHICH THE FIRST WAS MADE.”
The old men in certain public insti-
tutions receive their week’s tobacco
after their weekly bath. The tobacco
is a reward of merit: no baccy UNTIL
a bath and no baccy UNLESS a bath.
This may seem a funny story to
some persons and an unpleasant one to
others, but it is really something more
than either sad or amusing. It is a
study in psychology and it concerns
everybody, because everybody desires
to live just as long as possible.
It is customary for the young to
find fault with the perversities of the
old, but how many persons plan, in
their youth, to make themselves lovely
and lovable at 80 years or more?
It can be done, for we are in our
decay what we started out to be in
our growing formative years.
Often we excuse selfishness, stub
bornness, crabbedness, an unclean
skin or “general cussedness” on the
ground that great grandfather is old
and can’t help it. It is altogether too
late for him to learn how to be grac-
ious. But his descendants can profit
by his failure.
We act in old age according to our
inner consciousness. Our defenses fall
from us and we betray our weak-
nesses. We reveal what we have been
all our lives but what we have man-
aged to conceal. T he habit of our
mind controls us; we no longer con-
trol it.
If we have wanted to say and do
hateful things all our lives, we will
be mighty unpleasant members of a
family when our dream of living long
comes true.
But if we have always tried to be
kindly, adaptable and energetic, our
relatives will not have to apologize ior
our conduct before they bury us.
In short, if a bath, the chief cere-
mony of civilization, has been part of
our daily routine, we will never have
when we are old. . .
We shape the last of life in the
first of it._______.

Douglas Falrbank, In hi* "•tr-
eat picture "The Man From Fainted
I’oat," for which he himself wrote
| tho script, will bo a treat to Fair
banks' admirers Tuesday and Wed-
nssday at ths Empress.
The' story Is based on Jackson
Gregory's recent magazine story,
'Silver Slippers."
In the role of fancy Jim Sher-
wood, the Immaculate dude who
wipes out a powerful gang of cat-
tle rustlers, tho smiling star of-
fers a characterization of a west-
ern crack shot.
Rucking bronchos, trick rowing
land bull-dogging steers are among
the Interesting features offered in
this comedv-drama of the west.
Participating' In those scenes are
world champions In their respect-
ive accomplishments, Including
Sam Brownell, champion bucking
broncho rider; John Judd, fancy
rope artist and other winners at
the last rodeo competition in
Cheyenne.
Fairbanks moved the whole
troupe to Laramie, Wyo., where
30 miles from the railroad station,
he leased the Riverside Ranch,
covering 1(0,000 acres and con
talnlng 30,000 head of cattle.
In winter month, there is
not a great deal of preaalng work
on the average farm. Frequently
the man and the woman of the
house find the time Irksome be-
cause there la nothing to do. The
boys and glrli are at school most
of the day. When they are at
home they are out playing or
are with the neighbor children
holding a meeting of some Im-
portant organization to which they
belong.
While the time passes slowly
In ths absence of Immediate du-
ties and of the children of tho
family, the farmer and his wife
can take a lesson from these chil-
dren. The children of the neigh-
borhood are together In school, in
play. In clubs that they have or-
ganized. Why should not the
grownups of ths neighborhood be
together, too?
In tho older days there were
literary society meetings, spelling
matches, and other events which
attracted everybody, young and
old alike, from the entire com-
munity. Because these things have
largely lost their Interest is no
reason why other community
events may not bo attractive. In
many neighborhoods, canning
clubs, Red Cross organizations,
farmers' Institutes, dairy clubs,
have brought the people of tho
community together In a wonder
ful way.
Study Conte, ts Planned.
Tho University of Oklahoma
this year Is conducting current
events study contests thru which
rural organizations can get to-
gether and study the war cam
palgns and the effect of the war
on the economic world.
While the work which these or-
ganlatlons do Is Important, their
Influence Is equally Important In
getting people acquainted with
each other. They make the com-
munity a real social unit instead
of merely a 6roup of Isolated fam-
ilies or Individuals. It's worth
while for the people In any com-
munity to got acquainted with
each other, they can help each
other and help tho community. It
will pay In dollars and cents, hut
will pay much more In the spirit
of neighborliness, of friendship, of
kindliness of cooperation, that it
will develop.—University Annual
Edition.
