THE UNIVERSAL CAR
More and more the enclosed motor car grows strong in
popular favor. It’s natural, especially with Ford cars,
which are busy running every day in the year-winter
and summer the Ford serves faithfully and profitably.
So for a real, genuine family car there is nothing equal
to the Ford Sedan at 1695 f. o. b Detroit. Seats five.
Large doors, plate glass sliding windows, silk curtains,
deeply upholstered seats, latest type ventilating win d
shield—a car of refined luxury with the everlastingly re-
liable Ford chasses. Come in and know more about tnis
superior car.

Nearly $400 Salarday.
The windup of the Red Cross
auction, Saturday afternoon, netted
the Mayes county Chapter close to
$400. There was a good crowd in
attendance and all the articles that
were donated were sold at good
prices.
The Red Cross cake donated by
Mrs. J. L. Mitchell brought close
to $70. We do not know who final-
ly got the cake, but it was owned
by nearly every one on the grounds
before the sale closed.
Several cash donations were
made by patriotic citi zens present.
Close to $1500 was realized from
this annual auction and it is to be
made an annual event hereafter.
Mrs. Jno. Harrison who has been
in charge of the sale in the way of
soliciting donations, etc., is to be
congratulated upon the success
that crowned her efforts.
Patriotic Rally.
Owing to the fact that the heavy
rain last week made it impossible to
make the drive Sunday for the
Third Liberty Loan, as had been
announced, a patriotic rally was
arranged for the Methodist church
for Sunday evening. The church
was well filled and all listened at-
tentively to the talks that were
made.
Rev. T. A. Harkins was present
in his uniform, having returned
from training camp t’..e day before.
He told a number of interesting
things about the training camp for
chaplains and the war work in gen-
eral.
Rev. Taylor of Muskogee, a for-
mer pastor of the local cnurch was
present and gave a very interesting
talk. Mr. Taylor has been called
upon to part from his son, who died
n the service some time ago.
The children from the State Home
sang several patriotic songs. Mr.
Crum sang a solo. Neal Gardner
gave an address.
The Loan drive that was to have
taken place on that day has been
postponed until next Sunday, when
the same speakers and appointments
will be tilled as already announced.
Red Cross Notes.
The month of March has given to
the Mayes county Chapter, four
new auxiliaries; Pensacola, Lone
Elm, Center Hill and a white aux-
iliary at Brushy.
In spite of the many spring duties
which confront the women living in
the country the country auxiliaries
have done wonderfuly work this
mouth and the first articles turned
in by the colored auxiliary at Brushy
cannot be excelled in workmanship.
A house to house canvass in part
of the town has brought to the
work room new faces and the older
ladies are adding an air of cheer
to the work room to work button-
holes.
While a number of the women of
the town are so loyal a greater num-
ber are not assisting in any capacity
and every day in the hospital gar-
ment section more workers are
needed and the surgical dressing
tables are not nearly filled.
Women of Pryor the time is not
far distant, and may be now at
hand when your boy, your neighbors
boy or some relatives boy may need
these hospital garments and sur-
gical dressings. If you saw one of
them lying sick would allow any ex-
cuse to prevent you ministering to
him? No! you would leave every-
thing to relieve his suffering. If
you will only spare Jday each week
to work at the R. C. rooms you will
be acting the good Samaritan to
some suffering boy. If you can’t
sew you can do the surgical dress-
ing work. Class instruction is not
necessary to learn the bandages now
being made. If you cannot do this
probably can assist in the cutt ing.
Come and enlist in some of the
work. Your country calls you,
the American boys appeal to you
for aid, Christianity demands it.
Wont you come?
A message from St. Louis announ-
ces that owing to the numerous
changes made in the Surgical dress-
ing all classes of instruction for in-
structor’s certificates be discontin-
ued until the cause is again standard-
ized.
In answer to the call for clothing
for the Belgains, generous response
was made by a number of people
of Pryor, Choteau and Adair. Par-
ticularly generous was the donation
from the Mennonites living east of
Pryor, and the State Home. Five
boxes were shipped Saturday.
The hospital garment department
shipped five boxes this month con-
taining 403 garments. The sur-
gical dressing department, one box
containing 945 bandages; knitting
department, 1 box containing 82
articles. Scarcity of boxes made
impossible the shipment of a large
number o f articles. The report

For Miss Larry.
Mrs. O. R. Graham entertained
about twelve young folks at a party
at her home in this city, Friday
night for Miss Grace Larry.
The evening was pleasantly pass-
ed in playing various games and
contests. Miss Vella Chamberlain
and Mr. Raymond Beardmore re-
ceived prizes for winning in contests.
Delicious refreshments consisting of
Ice cream, cake and punch were
served. All report a very enjoy-
able time.
Mrs. John Harrison informs the
Republican that her father, Thos.
Hale, who underwent an operation
at t h e hospital in Kansas City, is
' getting along nicely and will soon
‘ be able to return home.
SCHOOL NOTES *
The quarter holiday was given
Friday for perfect attendance dur-
ing the previous month.
The records show that the num-
ber of tardies in both schools is not
abnormal, altho the clocks have
been turned up an hour.
Last Thursday morning the Sen-
iors took charge of the opening ex-
ercises and rendered one of the best
programs that has ever been given.
The Senior class met in room 12
Friday and decided on a play for
the closing of school. The piay was
ordered immediately and work will
begin as soon as it arrives.
The high school was addessed in
the auditorium Monday morning by
Reverends R. C. Taylor, of Musko-
gee and T. A. Harkins, who is a
chaplain in the army. Both made
interesting talks, Rev. Harkins re-
lating some of his experiences in
the army.
Rev. T. A. Harkins is home on a
ten day furlo from the Chaplains
Training Camp. He looks every
inch a soldier, dressed in his natty
uniform. He says he likes the
work fine.
You can bring your watch in to
us for careful and expert adjust-
ing, and we will take particular
pride in making it preform accurate-
ly to the second. Hiittenmeyer, the
dependable Jeweler.
A party of men with teams and
slips got busy on the road south-
west between town and the bridge
and put it in shape for the grader
Monday. This road has needed
some work for some time.
J. A. Quinn and Geo. Grace got
busy with a road drag on the road
between Pryor and Salina Monday
and as a consequence that stretch
of road is in better condition than
it has been for months. Let the
good work go on.
Don’t get the wrong angle on this
“Liberty Loan” son. It doesn’t mean
that YOU must do the loaning. It
means that your government pro-
poses to loan you the opportunity of
investing your spare means in a pro-
position as sound as the Rock of Ages.
It means that the opportunity of your
life is offered you to gather to your-
self your portion of national honor
and glory. It means that probably
for the first time in your rather care-
less life you have the chance to be-
come a really necessary cog in the
great wheel of progress. It’s the
turning point in your life, son. Be
sure you make the right turn.
DON’T RISK NE6LECT
Don't neglect a constant backache,
sharp, darting pains or urinary disorders.
The danger of dropsy or Rri|ht‘s disease
is too serious to ignore. Use Doan's Kid-
ney Pills as have your triends and neigh-
bors. A Pryor esse. W. B. Allred, prop,
grist mill, S. Adair st , soys: “I was un-
able to get much relief from spells of
steady, wearing aches and stiffness sod
lameness in my back. Doin’.) Kidney
Pills always rid me of any of thote at-
tacks. They are a most reliable kidney
medicine and I keep them in my home
Doan's have kept my kidneys in good
heslth for ■ long time.’’
Price 6Uc at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidnsy remedy—get Doan's Kid-
ney Pills— the same that Mr. Allred had.
