A COHTLY LKM.SON
f"\URING the coming ten years
the city of El Reno will
known as a town of less than 10,-
000 population. While there Is
really very little difference be-
tween 9,879 and 10,000 yet many
advantages acrue to cities of ten
thousand or more population.
It cau truthfully be said that
El Reno has a population of 10.-
000 as several districts on the
edge of the city were not Includ-
ed in the corporate limits. How-
ever, we do not want to cham-
pion the old familiar "Alibi Ike,
The god of Excuses." El Reno
has 9,379 good citizens as shown
by the Federal census, and we’re
proud of It! This total represents
' a healthy, substantial growth and
many towns will he envious of
this figure.
Business and professional men
of El Reno are, responsible for
Ibis showing of less than 10,000.
We can not “pass the buck." if
before April 1 these sections had
been taken Into the city, El Reno
would have a rating of 10,000 or
more. The truth of the matter Is
tl|at te were asleep at the switch.
U Is ft costly lesson but it may be
of great value. If it tends to
keep us on our toes, so to speak,
watching for every opportunity to
Voost El Reno and do things (hat
wll result In a greater community,
the lesson will In reality be a good
thing.
There is no use crying over
Npllt milk. The enumerators
worked untiringly and it is assur-
ed that the people in the present
corporate limits were counted. El
Rono is a progressive city of Nine
thousand, throe hundred and sev-
enty-nine. That’s a splendid fi-
gure and represents growth. The
total could have been larger. Wo
were all too engrossed in various
little details to take advantage of
the measures used ‘by most pro
gressive towns.
One thing brings on another
The census Is a closed Incident,
but (here might be other events
which may effect the future of
the city right now. The time to
act on any situation is before and
not after. Let all of us who are
interested in the future of El Reno
stop now and consider other condi-
tions. existing now or in coming
months, that might affect the
prosperity and reputation of El
Reno, the best town in all Okla-
homa!

1UIANY residents declare the hail
Thursday morning the most
severe in I heir memory. Some of
the pellets were an inch and n
quarter in diameter by actual
measurement. We suppose this
corresponds to the “goose egg"
size given in reports from other
sections.
We were told that this particu-
lar hall storm was nothing. “Why
I have seen ’em some places as big
aa baseballs.’* was the statement
and the speaker didn’t smile when
he said it. Wonder how Babe
Ruth would feel in a shower like
that?

The extent to which the use of
airplanes ns a mode of transporta-
tion is developing in the state Is
best exemplified by the Oklahoma
City airport where all former city

3.’*67 passengers were handled in
and out of the port over the regu-
lar airlines. The figure does not

editorial In the New York Evening
Telegram. “The price of home-
making Is probably going up."
After citing the enormous tar-
iff costs on lumber, brick, cement
and plate glaas, all of which ex-
cept plate glass were on the free
list until the new tariff hill was
framed, the editorial continues:
“If people think prices are too

The majority of the passengers
came here from and left here fur
Tulsa. A large number or the
passengers went to Texas points,
while nine of them went to New
York. Two of the principal lines,
the Western Express and the Hut-
tod States Airways, represented In
tlie report, did not start opera-
tions until the latter part of the
month. A material increase is ex-
pected to be made In May when
the Oklahoma Hhortlln# Airway is
expected to start service. An av-
erage of 12 planes operated lb ro-
ugh the port daily during the la«
ter part of the month.

month before she soloed.
Frederick's hopes for early con-
struction of an airport faded re-
cently when the Tillman county

quest to call a special election to

Idaho Murder Mystery Is
Explained
HT ANTHONY, Ida.. May IB OP)
A peculiar squeak in an auto-
mobile resulted in one suicide and
the arrest of a man and woman
In connection with a murder.
When David R. Jenkins disap-
peared the night of November is.
no trace of Ills movements was
discovered. His body, hullelt-rld
died, was found in an Irrigation
ditch nearly a month later. On
the night of his disappearance, his
automobile had been mysteriously
returned to its garage.
During tlie course of investiga-
tion, several persons reported that
they heard a ear with a peculiar
squeak pass down toward the riv-
er the night of November IS. of.
fleers combed garages and used
car markets or this section, hunt-
ing for a "car witli a peculiar
squeak." They finally Iminf it,
in a Pocatello garage. It had been
owned by Glen Jenkins, a nephew
of the murdered man.
John Jenkins, brother of the
slain man, was questioned. He
committed sucide the following
day.
(lien Jenkins was arrested, and
lie implicated Jennie Bishop, a
spinster, in the crime. She whs
arrested and the two are being
held for trial.
(Hen Jenkins told authorities
that John Jenkins and Jennie
Bishop killed David. Thq nephew
said he helped hide the body.

zil a quantity of silkworm eggs

as fit only for animal food, are be-
ing increasingly used for human

have never done before of recent

economics writer, points out in
(lie article presenting the busi-

The tremendous flow of money
into stock market speculation dur-
ing 192S and 1929 was a serious
deterrent to building slide it
both raised interest rates to abnor-
mally high levels and engaged
much money that otherwise would
have gone Into building, he shows.
The subsequent easing of interest
rates which has followed the mar-
ket depression has moved per-
haps the most formidable harrier
to building activities.
On the Pacific Coast, George I.
Cob ran, president of the Pacific
Mutual Life linsurance Company,
says: "I think there is a reason-
aide basis for an increase in the
building industry during the year.
It ought to reach normal."
Victor A. Lersner, president of
the Bowery Savings hank, New
York, one of the heaviest lenders
of funds for home building, be-
lieves: "It would appear that
building will have some advance
within the reasonably near fu-
ture, due to th belief that in most
sections of the meropolitan area
demand and supply have very
closely crossed each other."
Mr. Roberts, head of a com-
pany whose mortgage activities
are nation-wide, contributes this
analysis to the symposium:
"We feel there is a sound eco-
nomic basis for a revival in con-
struction this year. Chief among
the reasons for this is the fact
that building operations have
been on the decline since the peak
year on 192.'*, and surplus which

Relief From Curse
Of Constipation
A Battle Creek physician says,
"Constipation is responsible for
more misery than any other cause."
But immediate relief has been
found. A tablet called Rexall Or*
delies has been discovered. This
tablet attracts water from the sys-
tem into the lazy, dry, evacuating
bowel called the colon. The water
loosens the dry food wastj and
causes a gentle, thorougn, natural
movement without forming, a habit
or ever increasing the dose.
Stop suffering from constipation.
