FARMER BUYS PAIR OF
SHOES WITH PROCEEDS
FROM BALE OF COTTON.
Temple, Texas, Nov. 21.—A
bale of cotton sold here yesterday
for 3c a pound, the lowest price
recorded in recent years. It was
dog-ear cotton, weather stained
and damaged.' The seller invest-
ed the proceeds of his bale in a
pair of Sunday shoes, receiving
15c in change. This he concluded
to dissipate in riotious living and
ordered a cold drink at a fountain
for that exact amount. His cha-
grin was greatly increased when
he was called on for 2c war tax
and being out of funds, was
obliged to make a borrow from a
friend.

IN A STATE BANK
Most men carry insurance. They insure their lives, their
houses and their household goods. But how many men stop to
think if their money is insured?
If your money is deposited in a state bank it is insured by
the DEPOSITORS’ GUARANTY LAW. This gives insurance
against loss from fire, wind, robbery and dishonesty. For if a
bank should fail from these causes, depositors would be paid im-
mediately and in full from the STATE GUARANTY FUND.
Put your money where it is insured. Open an account with
us. You will know then that it is safe.

SLOWNESS OF REPORTS,
PROMPTS SUGGESTION.
Oklahoma City, November 22.
--(Special)—“If you. are not a
led Cross member for 1921 by
this time, you probably will not
lie unless you take the burden of
joining upon yourself,” said W.
O. VanWyck, state roll call direc-
tor today.
“I know that there are thous-
ands of persons in Oklahoma to-
day who want to join the Red
Cross. Because there has been a
scarcity of workers this year
those persons have not been solic-
ited for membership.
“But there is one way of join-
ing the Red Cross that beats be-
ing solicited and that is joining
voluntarily. Here is how to go
about it. Just write your name
and address on a piece of paper,
pin i-t to a dollar bill, place in an
envelope and address to the near-
est Red Cross chapter. By return
mail you will get your Red Cross
button and receipt. The direc-
tions are simple. Follow them
and do your part in helping the
Red Cross carry out its great
peace-time program right here in
Oklahoma.
TWENTY YEARS AGO.
The wife and child of J. J.
Crider, of Hennessey, arrived here
last week to make their home at
this place.
A. C. Mickell, who sold his farm
a mile southeast of this place a
few weeks ago, has bought an-
other farm on East Elk near Sal-
em where he moved this week.
Mr. Mickell does not think he
can improve on Washita county
as a farming country.
Frank Crump and Cleveland
Hill who have been attending
school at Anadarko, have return-
ed to their home at this place.

OKLAHOMA IS LAGGARD
IN HEALTH SEAL SALE
DURING PAST SEASONS.
Oklahoma City, Nov. 23.-r-
(Special.)—Although Oklahoma
is rallying stronger and stronger
in the fight against tuberculosis,
it still lags behind all except 1’6 of
the states of the Union in the
amount of ■support given the
Tuberculosis Christmas Seal sale.
This sale will be held in Oklaho-
ma from December 1 to 15. Pro-
ceeds are used to support work of
the Oklahoma Public Health as-
sociation, such as maintaining
Tuberculosis dispensaries, free
public henlth nurses, etc. Half
the money raised in each county
from these seals, at one cent each
is spent in the county.
Oklahoma last year bought 2.8
Tuberculosis seals per capita. This
compares with 11.9 per capita for
New Hampshire and 11.8 for Del-
aware. New York bought 7.9 per
capita, Colorado 7.7, Arizona 6.9,
Rhode Island, 6.6, etc. Kansas,
to the north of Oklahoma, bought
3.3 per capita, far in excess of
Oklahoma’s purchases. Missouri’s
purchases were 3.1, New Mexico’s
3.7. Only Arkansas, with 2.7 arid
Texas with 2.1 among the states
adjoining Oklahoma has seal sale
purchases lower than this state’s.
The Oklahoma Public Health
association’s ambition this year is
to raise the stated purchases to 10
stamps per capita. If every per-
son in the state buys ten cents
worth of these stamps for use on
Christmas mail and packages, Ok-
lahoma will probably rank third or
fourth in the United States in the
per capita purchase of seals.

to Mrs. Claude B. McCartney, di-
vision representative for that ter-
ritory, who now is acting as exe-
cutive secretary of the state roll
call organization.
“The roll call is proceeding in
great shape,” said W. O. Van
Wyck, state director, today. “It
appears that Oklahoma will have
more than its quota of the Red
Cross members when the roll call
comes to a close November 25.
But that is the way Oklahoma
does things. Let’s make the over-
subscription as large as possible
and let no county fail to get at
least its quota.”
TEN YEARS AGO.
Oklahoma City, Okla., Nov, 17.
(Special)—Reports brought to
Oklahoma City today by division
representatives of the Red Cross
indicate that the state is well or-
ganized for the campaign and
many counties already predict
heavy oversubscription of quotas.
Southwest Oklahoma is show-
ing great activity in the roll call,
according to Miss Ethel Pulliam,
division representative in charge
of this territory. Hobart prepar-
ed for the roll call with a mass
meeting. Chickasha had a gath-
ering of workers on November 9
and was ready to launch its cam-
paign on Armistice Day. The roll
call was off to a good start at Al-
tus on Armistice Day when the
Red Cross and American Legion
joined in a parade, mass meeting
and memorial for the dead of
Jackson county,.
"Garvin county will double its
quota,” according to Miss Har-
riett Mason Lanning, division
representative, who has just re-
turned from Pauls Valley. "East-
ern Oklahoma is organized and
active down to the last chapter,”
Miss Lanning says.
Reports coming in from the
northwest part of the state show
that the Red Cross is especially
active in this section, according

teen miles southwest, died Mon-
day, November 21, aged 72 years.

NO FAKE INDIANS
FOR WILSON.
Washington, Nqv. 20.—(Spe-
cial.)—President Wilson today
viewed a 20,000 foot movie reel
taken in the Wichita mountains
of Oklahoma, in which the only
actors were Kiowa Indians. Tlje
picture was produced by Jim
Buck of Oklahoma and was
shown at the instance of Repre-
sentative Janies V. McClintic of
Oklahoma. It is understood the
president declined to witness a
similar picture the day before be-
cause the autors were white men
painted as Indians.
'File picture shown the presi-
dent consisted of scenes of tin
chase in which the government
owned herd of buffaloes in the
Wichita reserve, the largest herd
of American bison in existence,
took a prominent part, and of va-
rious Indian dances, as well as
views of the home life of the
Kiowas.
