Gov. Crus®1 ordered out the

Tulsa. Gen. Canton ordered his I
men to fire on the horses and
force it upon those who do. not
want it,. A. good religious reviv-
al, such as. Oklahoma City is hav-
ing now, would.be a great help
to Tulsa.
As-proof cf it,. El Reno is now
a, shining example; Evangelist
McConnell, recentdy held a re-
vival there and now El Reno- is
one of the- really respectable,

Yes, and it looks blamed fun-

and not in the cities;
We want to> see the money of the

in accomplishing this, we are offering not
only the standard and variety of mer-
chandise which the people want, but at
prices that defy competition from the
mail-order houses, when, quality, service
and transportation charges are considered.
We are not asking for loyalty to the
home town on the basis of an extra cost
to you,, but on the basis of quality,, serv-
ice and price.

are many Catholics in and around
Harrah who are substantial

not be questioned. They are as-
