HEU STOP THE CIGAKETTE.
I ha, e ever seen so much smoking
of cigarettes as we have been havinig
here in this city since the passing of
the present cigarette law. 1 have had
mothers come to me and beg me to
do something to help them banish the
cigarette as their boys were smoking
them and they were unable to control
the matter. Many a poor child is now
learning the bad habit that will carry
him to an early grave or the insane
asylum. We find that most of the
smoking is done when the young boys
congregate on the street and a favor-
ite place is on the court house lawn
and adjoining places. Some smok-
ing is going on on the school grounds
but this has not been very much.
Now to break up this practice we
must have cooperation on the part of
every officer, teacher and merchant
who sells cigarettes. We do not care
to attack the cigarette itself for that
is a settled curse as every thinking
Person will admit, but wc do beg the
co-operath g of which we speak.
Aftc several patrons of the school
had made known their stand on the
matter and pledged their support to
the officers and teachers we have
taken the matter up with the county
attorney, who gives us an opinion on
the matters relative to the present
law. . v- opinion is published else-
where in this paper and we ask that
ail concerned or interested read it>
carefully and lend any aid possible.
The sc board, city marshal, every
teacher cr police officer In town is
■uniting until this notice is published
and then complaints wll be filed as
scon as a violation of the law is de-
tected. Those who are lawful users
of cigarettes should be careful not to
allow others access to their supply
and merchants should not sell to any
school children for none are lawful
users, and woe to the one who buys
for the minor or tries to evade the
law.
We neg you to assist in cleaning up
this evil.

OPINION.
September HO, 1915.
Mr. Clen E. Tope,
Supt. City Schools,
Chandler, Okla.
Dear Sir:
In response to your request for an
opinion regarding the cigarette law
now in force in Oklahoma, I beg to
/submit the following:
Section 1 of Chapter 190, Session
Laws cf 1915, provides that any per-
son who shall furnish any minor with
cigarette--, by sale, gift or otherwise,
may be fined from $10 to $200, or im-
prisoned in the county jail for from
one to thirty days. Section 2 of the
same chapter provides that any minor
having cigarettes or cigarette papers
and who refuses to tell a teacher in
any school where he obtained the
same may be fined $5 or imprisoned
five days, or both.
Athletics are a good thing for boys
and girls in the grades just as they
are for high school pupils and the
grade pupils are fully justifying the
expectations of the teachers by enter-
ing heartily into the spirit created by
football, basket ball and volley ball.
Three football teams have been or-
ganized; one from the eighth grade,
one from the sixth and seventh grades
and one consisting of the best players
from these two teams. Harold Elsey
is captain of the eighth grade team,
Dan Whitney is captain of the sixth
and seventh grade team and Fred
Wright is captain of the All-East
Side Team. Several practice games
have already been played and next
Monday evening the All-East Side
Team will play the second team of
the High School. A schedule of
games with several of the nearby
towns will be arranged in the near
future and the boys are confident of
a string of victories. By means of
voluntary subscription a new football
has been purchased.
We feei highly encouraged with the
prospects not only for football among
the boys but for basket and volley
ball among the girls. Thursday even-
ing of last week a pie supper was
held at the Armory for the purpose
Ol raising funds for purchasing a bas-
ket ball. It was entirely successful,
as the sum of twelve dolars was real-
ized. This will enable us to get a
ball and other things which we need.
At a recent election Dorothy Mascho
was elected catain of the basket ball
team and Nellie Watson Treasurer.
Friday evening the boys and girls
brought hoes and rakes and the
grounds were cleaned off and the
courts were leveled down and put in
good shape by means of a team and
scraper donated by one of the boys.
Basket ball practice will be started
as soon as the ball arrives. The sev-
enth grade girls have ordered a volley
ball and soon these two most popular
games for girls will be played at
every recreation period.

He might have been a millionaire,
And won financial fame,
Or sat* in a director’s chair,
Had money been his aim;
He chose instead to spend his years
In service poorly paid,
And with tne paste pot and the shears
A humble living made.
He chronicled the town’s events;
The local goings on;
His fellow townsmen’s hopes and bents
Inspired his lexicon;
He felt the public pulse that beat
Around him, anil he tried
To make his little country sheet
A thing of local pride.
Unselfishly, with all his heart,
He strove byt to uphold
IIis toWn, ol which he was a part,
With great ambition filled.
Tie spoke well of his fellow men;
He praised when praise was due;
He weilded but a kindly pen,
And no reward he drew.

CHANDLER’S LYCEUM COURSE
THIS YEAR.
Everyone was very much pleased
with the splendid Lyceum course of
last year, but the one this year will
be a much better one than ever. The
course for this year consists of five
numbers for which a season ticket
costs $2.00. The program is one of
variety as is seen by the following

late of the small dealer, and especial-
ly those in the smaller towns, in the
unequal struggle that they are wag-
ing for existence against the great
city department storey and the mail
order houses. Every person who has
kept his eyes open must have observ-
ed that for some reason the big city
merchants have been gaining ground
while the tradesmen In the interior
have found the struggle growing con-
stantly harder. The records of post-
office and express money order is-
sues and bank drafts purchased, clear-
ly show that great sums of money that
should be used in trading at home, is
going to the mail order houses in the
I !;|rge cities. And the department
store in the great centers are monop-
| lizing the trade and the little stores
! are becoming fewer and poorer. This
i condition is attributed to "cut-throat
[ competition,” or price cutting, and
from every part of the country there
has come a demand for the enact-
ment of a federal statute that will
enable manufacturers of staple ar-
tcles to fix a price on their goods and
compel the retailing at a standard
figure no matter where the goods are
sold. The Federal Trade Commission
is working in this direction, and the
indcatons are that there s bad weath-
er ahead for the handful of city in-
terests that have been driving out
the smaller dealers ami growing op-
ulent and arrogant at the expense of
the country merchants.
