CONGRESSMAN JIM McCLINTIC
TJIG, good natured Jim McCHntoc, (he don't like that "Hon. Jas.
13 v." stuff) Oklahoma Congressman from this district, was in
town Monday renewing old acquaintances. Jim blowed Into town
in just an ordinary tin LiMie, but he couldn't do otherwise, because
he is just an ordinary fellow. This was our first meeting with the
gentleman, and he is no more or less than what we had pictured
him--just one of the boys. The congressman's daughter, Olive,
and F. I. Leasure, of the Roosevelt Record, accompanied him.
Who’s Guilty?
The Democrat - Chief (Hobart)
in both its daily and weekly,
took what we would term a
"crack" at one or more of its sis-
ter towns, viz: Mountain View,
Gotebo, Carnegie, RockV, Moun-
tain Park, Roosevelt, Sentinel, et
•1. At least the D C editorial
would have us "hicks" believe
that our Hub city had the only
fair and square, open-and-aboye-
board merchants in this commun-
ity, and that Hobart was a little
heaven, where our rural people
could go and return with wings,
a bible under each arm, and a
title-deed to any part of their
town. The initial paragraph of
the D-C's editorial puts this one
over:
"Towns that undertake to ce-
ment a closer friendship with the
country people by offering them
entertainment every few weeks,
but who take advantage of the
opportunity to them, are digging
their own graves. Country peo-
ple are just as wise as those who
live in towns, and know just as
well as their city cousins when
they are getting a square deal,
and when they find out that en-
tertainment is but a lure to get
them near enough for the har-
poon, they turn to other towns
where there is at least a proba-
bility of getting aue considera-
tion and par value.”
Now, dear reader, wouldn't you
be justified, after reading the a-
boye, to assume that somebody
has been doing some monkey-
doodle business. Fleece, as Web
ster gives it, is in part, strip;
plunder by injustice or fraud.
The paragraph clearly demon
strates at least the D C has the
mistaken idea that her “cuuutry
eousins" are putting out bait to
allure farmers to their towns,
and giving them less than vJu«.
received, which can easily be fig-
ured out in the following lines:
"No town Jthat depends upon
its surrounding country for sup-
port can hope to prosper when
its merchants practice extortion,
or when it fails to give value for
the things they buy. It is seldom
far to another town, and he who
has been wronged in one place
by unscrupulous merchants will
other point in the future when
he has something to buy or sell."
The Democrat-Chief's editorial
goes on for about a half column
telling its readers of the advan-
tages of trading in Hobart, the
inducements offered by Hobart
business people, and would try
to give one the impression that
if they did not do their trading
there they were going to starye,
go nude, and that it would be a
crime to trade any other place
outside of Hobart, This among
other statements:
"The object sought is not to at-
tract a crowd in order to fleece
them. No thought is given to
present profits."
But the Times man, and we be-
lieve any one else with an ounce
of that stuff called "gray matter"
would have the above corrected,
and believe that Hobart mer-
chants are no different than her
"country cousins," inasmuch as
they believe in making certain re-
ductions on a number of articles
to the end that they will gain
new business and rid their
shelves of numerous other arti-
cles, thus getting value received
for the money spent io advertis-
ing their goods.
The Times man has always en-
deavored to be a booster for the
town in which we live, for the
community adjoining, including
our county seat town, and we
have no time for a knocker, and
further believe that the Demo-
crat Chief has a perfect right, and
are doing their patriotic duty in
helping to build up their town.
But at the same time we do be-
lieve that they should be peace-
ful, neighborly, and have a good
word for the neighboring towns
surrounding it. We do not be-
lieve but that Mountain View,
Gotebo, Carnegie, Rocky, Moun-
tain Park, Roosevelt, Sentinel, or
any other town in this vicinity, is
just as free from people who are
inclined to fleece, crooks, etc., as
the little city we call our county
seat—Hobart.
Go to it, brother, advertise your
town in the highest way possible;
get all the business coming to
the county seat you can, but for
the love of Pete, dp it in a legiti-
mate, neighborly manner, and
speak a word for your "country
cousins" here and there, instead
600D WOMAN, LOVED BY ALL
60ES ON TO FINAL REWARD
Emma Reed was born at Char-
leston, Mississippi county, Mis-
souri, on January 20, 1866. She
was united in marriage to M. L.
Reed, August 1, 1899. In 1917
she became a member of the
Methodist church, and until her
death, on June 8tb, she was au
ever faithful worker for the
church of her choice. Her death
came after long and patient suf-
fer ngs. She was a very devoted
wife, mother, and a friend and
neighbor loyed by all who
chanced to make her acquain-
tance. She leaves to mourn her
death, the husband, a daughter,
Mrs. Frank Greentbaler; a son,
H. O. Neighbors; a sister, Mrs.
Alfha Beauvais, besides several
grandchildren and a host of
ii lends.
On more than one occasion
Mrs. Reed expressed her desire
and willingness to go. Some
months ago she and Mr. Reed
took up their residence with a
daughter, Mrs. Greentbaler,
where loving hands did all that
could be done for her comfort
and to prolong her life. Many
say she died, others say she has
only taken up her residence in a
mansion in the Father’s house.
She is not dead, but liveth ever-
more, and we shall see her in
the sweet bye and bye. May
God comfort and strengthen the
bereaved ones, and may they so
live that one day there shall be a
happy reunion around His throne
in heaven where there is neither
suffering or parting.
Mrs. Reed was laid to rest in
the Mountain View cemetery, af-
ter funeral services at the Metho-
dist church, conducted by Rey.
S. F. Young.
That’s Us.
The Times man is one of those
old fashioned stiffs who always
believed in wearing clothing and
apparel for comfort only, but at
times we have wondered if, only
for the sake of style, we shouldn’t
discard our old suspenders and
don the modern and more up-to-
date belt, but after reading what
the Democrat-Chief has to say in
the matter, a lot of us old “birds”
can sort of figure that we have
won the day. The D-C item reads:
"Those old foggies who refused
to lay off their suspenders when
belts became fashionable are lik-
ly to find themselves in the
heighth of fashion in the near
future, for the suspender is com-
ing into its own again. Fashions
moyc in circles, and those who
stand still will meet them on the
return trip."
Dr. Gray to Return
Dr. M. Gray, well known to all
Mountatn Viewers, and who prac-
ticed medicine here for a good
many years, advises that himself
and wife will return to Moun-
tain View about the first of July
and make their permanent resi-
dence. The Grays have been at
Durant for the past four or five
years.

tented to live here, and don't be-

to move over there.

AGENCY SAYS LAWS WILL
- BE STRICTLY ENFORCED
The Kiowa Indian agency at
Anadarko asks that the Times
give spaee for the following no-
tice in regard to the selling of
stock purchased with trust funds:
"To all field employees, Indians
and the general public: The Act
of June 30,1919, provides a pen-
alty of not less than $500 and not
more than $1000, or not less
than 6 months or more than one
year in prison, or both fine and
imprisonment, for the Indian
selling or purchasing and the
white man purchasing stock with-
out the consent of the superin-
tendent of the Kiowa Indian ag-
ency, which has been purchased
through the agency with trust
funds.
Sahsuitspah, or Joseph Black-
bear, is now serving a term at
Guthrie because of his having
disposed of cattle purchased with
trust funds."

brellas, etc., by means of official mo-
tion pictures.
MOUNTAIN VIEW TRIMS SENT-
INEL IN SUNDAYJALL GAME
In Sunday afternoon's ball game
between Sentinel and the locals,
the Mountain View boys were
again victorious, the score result-
ing 9 to 5.
Sentinel started out by making
a score in the first half. The
locals failed to score in the last
half of the first.
In the first half of the second
inning Sentinel brought in an-
other scoie. This proved a little
more than the locals could stand
for, and Gordon landed out a
three-bagger, bringing in three
scores, after which Tape-tome
made a hit which brought he
and Gordon home. The score
stood 5 2.
Sentinel run in one score in
the first half of the third, and
Mountain View failed to score.
Score 5-3.
No scores were made by either
aide in fourth inning.
In the first baif of the fifth
Sentinel was scoreless, and M. V.
would have scored had it not
beeu for the tael that Morns was
put out on second by Sentinel's
base umpire when Morris was a-
bout five feet off the base.
Sentinel's first two men to bat
in the first half of the sixth did-
n’t do well, Tracy's grandstand
catch kept them from reaching
first base. Mountain View also
failed to see first.
In the first half of the seventh
Sentinel succeeded in getting two
scores, tying the score, 5-5. In
this inning Colwell was put in
the box, and one of Sentinel’s
"town clowns" tried to steal home
in this inning when "play bail”
was out of order, but he didn’t
get very far. Rusty and Skip end-
ed the inning with a loving match
over a fly from Sentinel's last
batter.
Last half of seventh. Ent put
out a nice two-bagger. Morris to
bat put Ent to third. Sentinel's
picther tried to kill'Parnell with
the ball, thus putting him to
first. Poolaw done the 1-2-3 act.
Gorden went out with three men
on bases. Mountain View run in
two more scores.
Sentinel didn't score in the
first half of the eighth. The lo-
cals earned two scores in the last
half of the eighth, and A1 Morris
tried to run in the third oue on
the supposition that Sentinel's
pitcher made a balk.
Sentinel failed to do well in
tbe first half of the ninth, Morris
ending the game by pulling down
two nice high flies.
