YOUNG FOLKS ENJOY
SUNDAY OUTING: ALSO
GATHER SQUIRREL FOOD
A select party of young folks
from this city enjoyed an all day
nutting party last Sunday. They
left Mountain View in a tructau
tomobile about 10:30 in the morn
iug and journeyed to a pecan
grove near Zodletone. Miss Jewel
Brewer is supposed to have the
honor of gathering the greatest
amount of pecans. She claims to
have gathered one and one-half
bushels. It is eslimated that the
total amount picked was two bush
els.
According to Henry’s watch it
was 1:00 o’clock when the young
ladies served lunch. Spread un
derneath the shady trees (ask
Elsit) where all did justice to tie
feast. Following lunch the young
people gathered more pecans
then agreed on leaving a few for
the next time. The crowd re-
turned to Mountain View about
5:00 o’clock. Those composing
the party were: Misses Elsie
and Jewel Brewer, Siclla Gillas-
pie, Estelle Thompson and Mrs
Killough. Messrs. Henry Gillas-
pie, Fred Baker, Ben White, For-
rest Cater and Erwin Forgy.
Union Missionary Society
The first social meeting of the
Union Missionary Society was
held at the home of Mrs. E. L.
Campbell, Friday, November 21,
Mrs. Hardy, third president, pre-
siding. Eighteen .Ipi'ws were
present and three visitors, one of
whom was the guest of honor,
Mrs. Hopper of Alva, a member
of the C. W. B. M. of the Chris
tian church of that place.
Program consisted of,a review
of each society by their presi-
dents, who discussed the outline
of work and study each had taken
up.
Mrs. Baldridge’s plea for unity
was the Lord’s last prayer, when
he prayed the Father that all his
followers might be One, as he
and the father were One.
Mrs. Hathaway’s plea was that
there was strength in unity as ex-
pressed in the song: Blest Be
the Tic That Biuds Our Hearts
in Christian Love.’’
Mrs. Hardv said they heard
the “Cry of the Orphan," they
responded and sent comfort and
relief.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1919
Established April 28, 1899
mittces set the date for a social
for young people on 1 uesday
night, November 23, at the Meth-
odist church, object being to pro-
vide clean and wholesome enter-
tainment for our young folks.
The meeting was now turned
over to the Entertainment Com-
mittee, Mrs. Marrs and Mrs.
Hathaway. A contest of twenty-
five Bible questions had been
prepared. At the close it was
found that five ladies had ans-
wered all questions correctly.
The ladies were invited into
the dining room where dainty re-
freshments had been prepared
by our hostess. Thanksgiving
ideas had been carried out, in
the manner of table decorations,
place favors, etc. The tables were
arranged in the shape of the let-
ter T and all were seated at once,
with the guest of honor in the
center of the long table. After
the repast each lady read her
verse of thanks.
Social adjourned at five o'clock
to meet again in three months.
Regular monthly program will
be held at the home of Mrs. Kobs
Friday following Christmas, at
three o’clock.
LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS
It is the purpose of the publishers of the Times to get
out a Mammoth Christmas Edition, in fact we have already
received our Christmas Page a beautiful one, and in order to
complete it in proper shape we want a goodly number of let-
ters to Santa Claus from the children throughout the town
and country. We are sure that Santa was not in the war,
and therefore still living, so the children can expect his an-
nual return on the night of December 24th, but it would be
well for the little ones to send the Times a letter addressed
to him and we will mail him a copy of the paper. Now
don’t wait too late but send it in right away so we can have
the letters all in by the first of December. Write a good
short letter, telling him what you want him to bring you, as
he has so many to supply, you might be overlooked.

Reason Why
In the November 14th issue of
the Mountain View Times, you
ask, “What has become of the old
fashioned merchant who gave a
pair of suspenders with, every
suit purchased.” My best recol-
lection is that this individual fail-
ed in business along about 1904
Very truly,
A. E. Stinson.
We are glad io receive answers
to the question of November 14th
in which it was asked, "What has
become of the old fashioned mer-
chant who gave a pair of suspen-
ders with every suit purchased.
Mr. Stinson’s answer may be cor-
rect, but we are inclined to the
belief that the "Old fashioned
merchant" has more generally
speaking, adopted modern and
more business like methods. It
is not business to sell a customer
aa article for such profit as to en-
yisitors with B. B. Bottom and
familv last Sunday.
Mr. Key and family spent last
Sunday with Mr. Tomlinson and
family.
Little Donie Kelso visited last
week with her grandma, Mrs.
Feezer.
R. L. Armitage and wife arc re-
joicing oyer the arrival of a baby
girl.
Mr. and Mrs, Tyner from near
Port, Okh., are visiting their
daughter, Mrs. R. L. Armitage.
A sister from Texas is also visit-
ing her.
Claude Taggart returned last
week from Custer.
Dick Mosley and family spent
Sunday with Mis. Mosley's pa-
rents, J. J. Miller and wife,
it frightfully, and the load of shot
struck the left side of. his face,
taking the flesh off. He will re-
cover unless the wounds become
infected.
He was brought to the city,
where the wounds were treated.
Subscription Due
There are many who are in ar-
rears on subscription and we
would be pleased to have them
call and settle same as we are in
need of it. Print paper is ex-
tremely high and becoming more
so all the while. We are forced
to pay cash for our paper and it
works a hardship if we do- not
get subscriptions paid regularly.
It may seem a small matter to you,'
but when you multiply your ac-
count by several more, you will
readily see that it is important to
the publisher. It must be borne
in mind that the Postal Regula- ••
tions require that a bonafide sub-
scription is one that is paid- u"p,
and in the event of non-payment •
it should be erased from the°list.
The publisher is loth to ^discon-
tinue a subscriber that he has
reason to believe fully intends to
pay but puts it ofl to a more con-
venient season. We are striving •
to give the readers of the oTimes
a paper worth the money and if
we can secure the co-operation of
the subscriber by prompt pay-
ments, we can assure the public
of a creditable sheet.
It’s time you took the Times.
Fuel Day Observed.
Fuel Day was observed here
Wednesday by the distribution
of two cars of coal which has
been standing on a sidetrack
awaiting orders fo'r release. This
coal comes in at an opportune
time for many, as fuel was get-
ting yery low, and some were
without. Through the carefull
ness of Mr. Wells a maximum
of 700 lbs. to the family render-
ed it possible for a greater num
ber to share in the distribution
able him to give the purchaser
something to quiet his own con-
science or to make sure of indue
ing his customer to returt. The
more sensible method is to give
him his money's worth and make
sure of his return by a square
deal.
