the work of furnishing entertain-
ment for the guests at that and ex-
pect; to have a complete program
ready for the occasion which will not
only be entertaining but also instruc-

Entertainment will not be the only
lecture of the day as Lincoln county
wants to tell Mr. Harvey exactly
what they have done and what they
arre doing in the line of good roads
and show him some of the results
».* this work; not merely tell him what
»boy would like to do, but to furnish
proof that they are doing those things
which are necessary to get the Ozark
Irail through this county.
Mr. Harvey will address the meet-
ly in the evening, with some other
speakers of local fame and he will
have a word for those off of the trail
i v well as those who live on the trail.
Stroud, Davenport, Wellston, Meek-
er. Prague and several other towns
aie expected to send delegations to
vk.s meeting and Shawnee will come
ms masse; so if you want to profit
bv one of the largest and best good
reads meetings, you will be present.
NEW PUMP AT OIL WELL.
Mr. Cowles made a hasty trip to
Di umright Sunday morning in a car |
to procure a new pump for the oil ’
well. When drilling commenced it!
was found that the pump owned by ,
the company was not large enough to
pump sufficient water for drilling.
The trip to Drumright and back was
made in about four hours.—Carney

At a meeting of the local Com-
mercial Club last Monday night the
fact that good roads was about the
only thing the club was working for
vas brought out. Any other subject
thar, might be brought up was side- I nished
of operatives in the existing shortage
of skilled labor.
For the present, the Department
bus suspended the furnishing of print-
ed envelopes for office use. This
however does not apply to special or-
ders for printed envelopes.
For the present and until further
notice, only ; lain stamped envelopes
with no printing whatever can be fur-

tracked for good roads, and if any
increased their rates to an extent speaker failed to mention good roads
lie was not heard.
Preparations for having a good

here February 12 were made and it
is expected that work will begin im-
mediately on the Ozark Trail across

A CHAUTAUOUA FOR CARNEY.
Yes girls you can go to but
course you will have to have an es- j
cort, but if You can’t get one go, you
may learn something that will be
of interest at some later date.
Seventeen Old Maids will hold their
convention at the Odeon Tuesday and
•• ei’nesday night February 15 and 14
rnd if you don’t want to laugh, you
ll,<‘ had better stay at home.
The convention will be opened by
Jnscnhene Jane Green, President of
'he Young Ladies’ Single Blessedness
Debating Society, but that don’t mean
♦hat they really enjoy their blessed
ress, as they are all “just crazy" to
et married. And by the way you

the Old Maid will get you if you don’t
V. atch out.
The convention opens and is of one
accord as to the fact that all in th:s
" orld they need is a husband for each
•-f the old maids, of eonrs they won’t j
-omit they are old maids. Enter, the
'" eat Prof. Makeover, who guaran-.
toes to makeover the old maids and
'urn them out young and handsome
with all the chances in the world to
"ft a husband. It is a scream from
Mart to finish. If you can’t laugh,
go to the Odeon Tuesday and Wednes-
day and the Old Maids will make
tears run down your cheeks and your
rides will hurt for a week at the fun
■ o' had.
nmeunting to between two and three
hundred per cent of the rates which
have prevailed heretofore.
To he exact, these companies, of
which five or six are still operating
in the state, have changed their pol-
icies so that the regular policy no
longer covers day-light hold-nps as
heretofore, but instead an additional
charge is made for protection against
day-light hold-nps, amounting to $10
foi the first thousand and $5.00 for
each additional thousand. This cost
of course will vary with the side of
the bank, but will average somewhere
ic the neighborhood of $50 00 for each
band, or something like $50.00 of ex-
pense to the hanking business in Ok-
lahoma.
This change has been caused by the
feem’ng impossibility of reducing the
Inward of daylight holdups of banks
in Oklahoma. Every week nowadays
curries its ouota of these robberies
arc’ the conviction has gamed cur-
rency that the banking business is
liecoming too hazardous to be carried
o:. in small towns, unless there is
modification of the laws governing it.
Bankers are prepared to urge vig-
orm s act on hv the legislature along
th’s line, their desire, according to
Secretary Roardman of State Rankers
Association, lifting that a minimum
penalty be placed at 15 years with a
maximum nena'tv of rapital punish-
ment. They also desirA that posses-
s’on of explosives and taals used in
breaking safes be made in itself an

initiative in this direction; at the

Rev. C. A. Morrison was present and
made a short talk on the need of some

Mr. E. O. Dexter, secretary of the
Southern Route Trail, was here
V'rdnesday having readied this point

white markers that will designate the
route between Tulsa and Oklahoma
City.
The people of Sapulpa are fighting
he Southern Route and the plan is
to shorten the route south of Tulsa
and follow the 96 degree meridian
which is almost a direct line south
fiom Tulsa through Okmulgee to
Henry etta.
We only have 26 members who
have signed the mehbership roll for
the Southern Route and a lot of busi-
ness men should immediately send
their $1.00 to E. O. Dexter, Okemah,
Okla., and assist in this work. The
town of Meeker with not half our
population has 44 members, and the
little towns are doing their full
share.
The Southern Route Association
will have printed and distributed 20,-

El Paso, Tex., Jan 29.—Serious
noting by Mexicans at the Juarez
end of the international bridge was
resumed at 7 o’clock today. A crowd
of seven hundred men and women,
ii.censed at not being allowed to cross
the bridge until bath began throw-
ing stones and battles at the Ameri-
can soldiers doing duty as customs
guards. Two of the guards were in-
i’ red by the missies. As the mob ad-
i vr.nced across the bridge a company
of soldiers charged them with clubs
and rifles, driving them back.
Sergeant Peck, of Company A,
twenty-third United States infantry,
'• as struck by the shower of stones
aid injured about the head. Roy
Schuyler, of the customs guard, was
struck by a bottle and slightly in-
jured.
Company A charged the mob and
pushed them hack across the center
of the bridge. About eight o’clock
Mexican cavalry with whips charged

The street car company did not re-
sume service across the bridge today,

of the present
vhool year closed on January 12 and
since that time wc have compiled all
the grades and have made some com-
parisons which wo are glad to give
o the public at this time. We do so
dh the hope that it will acquaint
lie patrons of the school with the
ictunl conditions as found bv our in-
vestigation.
We have 119 students who have
<in practically perfect during the
vs Dole year. They have passed, with-
out any trouble, in all subjects, in-
h ding deportment. We have 12
students who failed in just one sub-
t, four who failed in two subjects,
uul three whof ailed in three subjects.
'Ye have seven cases of failures where
students can make up the back work
f they will. These are recorded as
failures but might be termed con-
ditional. We allow students, where
| there seems to be justice to all con-
cerned, the right to make up certain
tilings in the way of slight failures.
A total of 25 students failed in some
Part of their work for the first se-
mester, We feel that if conditions
had been ideal half of these might
have been saved. The other half pos-
sibly could not.
We find four failures in plane ge-
ometry, eleven in algebra, ono in
English, ten in Latin, three in Ger-
man, six in history, and two in phys-
ics This is about the usual propor-
tion in the various subjects. If fresh-
men fijil at all they usually fail in
Latin or algebra. Students who are
not well prepared for high school pos-
ilivcly cannot do Latin or algebra
work that will pass. Seven of these
eases of failures are being made np
r.t this time.
Rasing the per cent of failures on
the number of failing grades divided
by the number of grades given wc
fine that the per cent of failure is
a l ttle below 5 per cent. This record
is the best we have had here so far
iu we can tell from reports at hand.
Wo believe that this will compare
lavorablv with any other chooi in
the state.

dents can’t stand the pressure and get
out of the way while others are forced
to withdraw for reasons not within
'heir pow?■ to control. Four of the
“tudents who failed at the mid-term
withdrew from school.
We have tried to look into the
-ause of failures. There are many
of these such as lack of thoroughness
in be common school branches lack
.f interest, apparent disinterested-
ness on the part of parent, cigaretts
and toli.-.’co in general, loafing, fail-
ure to study, lack of proper condi-
1 bins for home study, crowded con-
' tion of the school so that teachers
-annot give sufficient personal help
to backward students and meanness.
A month before the mid term ex-

' their children were failing and

ch a ’ iv as to save failures. Some
