WEAVER OF SHAWNEE
FALLS DEAD IN STORE
Well-Known Oklahoma Editor Dies
After Twenty Year Period of
Service in This State.
One of the most widely acsuainted
editors of Oklahoma, Otis B. Weav-
er of Shawnee, died suddenly of ap-
oplexy while conversing with a friend
in a confectionery October 15. Mr.
Weaver at the time of his death, was
publisher of the Shawnee Semi-
Weekly Herald and postmaster of
Shawnee.
Several years ago Mr. Weaver's
life was despaired of on account of
chronic appendicitis followed by gen-
eral peritonitis. Surviving this at-
tack, he later had to undergo several
major operations, entailing more
than one trip to Mayo's clinic, Roch-
ester, Minn. While at times Mr.
Weaver has appeared to regain his
strength, it is known that his physi-
cians have entertained little hope of
any permanent rehabilitation of his
health. Indeed just during the last
few days Mr. Weaver and one of his
physicians were making plans to go
to Johji Hopkins hospital at Balti-
more for an examination at the hands
of high medical authorities of that
institution.
Been Factor in Upbuilding.
For two decades Otis B. Weaver
has been a factor in the upbuilding of
Oklahoma, the last nine years of
■which time has been spent in Shaw-
nee, as publisher and postmaster. In
1911 Mr. Weaver purchased Shaw-
nee's two daily papers, the Herald
and the News, and consolidated them'
as the News-Herald. He continued
as publisher of the paper until he
sold the psblication in 1919 to H. G.
Spaulding, the present owner, who
later changed the name of the paper
to the Morning News. Mr. Weaver
has continued to publish the Semi-
Weekly Herald in Shawnee.
In 1915 Mr. Weaver was appointed
postmaster here, which position he
held at the time of his death.
Born at Mount Vernon, Texas, 43
years ago. Mr. Weaver came to the
then Indian Territory in 1897. Not
long after locating at Pauls Valley
the Spanish-American war broke out,
and he early volunteered for service,
joining Roosevelt's Rough Riders.
Soon after his discharge from the
army he located in the new town of
Ada. There he was identified as a
tT.wn builder and publisher for years
before coming to Shawnee, being the
founder of the Ada Evening News.
Mr. Weaver early took a lively in-
terest in politic and other public af-
fairs. Among the positions of hon-
or he has occupied, he has been pres-
ident of the Oklahoma Press asso-
ciation, member of the democratic
state central committee and com-
mander of the Oklahoma division,
Sons of Confederate Veterans.
Was Widely Known.
Mr. Weaver had acquired a wide
acquaintance among Oklahoma peo-
ple, and was known to practically ev-
ery editor in the state. He was a
familiar figure at every meeting of
the press association, and was fre-
quently called upon to serve on im-
portant committees. He was espe-
cially interested in the retention of
the present second-class postal rates
and on several occasions had gone to
Washington to press the cause of the
country publishers.
A large number of relatives sur-
vive Mr. Weaver. His brother. Carl-
ton Weaver, is publisher of the Wil-
burton News-Democrat.
Funeral services were held Mon-
day afternoon, October 18, at Shaw-
nee. Rev. C. Stubblefleld of Miami,
formerly of Ada, conducted the cere-
monies at the First Baptist church,
after which the body was taken to
Ada for burial.
RED CROSS GATHERING AT
WASHINGTON NEXT MONTH
Dr. E. A. Peterson, national direc-
tor of Public Health Service of the
Red Cross recently said that an aver-
age of fourteen years can be added
to people's lives if the ^knowledge
held by Red Cross workers and
health experts can be imparted to the
people generally and that tnis num-
ber will be added to the succeeding
generations.

Several thousond delegates, rep-
resenting the 3500 chapters of the
American Red Cross in the United
States, many of them from the five
states of the Southwestern division,
will gather in Washington the sec-
ond week in December for the most
important Red Cross meeting of na-
tional aspect to be held since the war.
At this meeting, detailed plans for
the futherance of the peace-time pro-
gram of the Red Cross will be made,
and delegates will tell of the Red
Cross work that has been done in the
CDnimunities with which they have
been in contact.
State conferences of Red Cross
workers recently have been held in
every state in the nation, as a prelim- sas and Texas.

Oklahoma City, Noy. 1.- Three
hundred and thirty-four miles of tu-
berculosis Christmas seals have been
shipped to the Oklahoma Public
Health association here, and will be
put on sale throughout the state from
December 1 to 15. Public health
work in Oklahoma is supported large-
ly by the sale of these stamps.
To give a better idea of the num-
ber of stamps, they would make a
line, if placed end to end, sufficiently
long to stretch from Buffalo, in Bea-
ver county, to Keys, the most south-
easterly town in McCurtain county.
If they were placed in a line running
north and south, they would Btretch
entirely across the state, with a lib-
eral number e\iending into both Kan-

ed somewhat along the lines of Lib-

The health bonds are tastefully en-

The Roll Call is expected to be
highly successful this year. Work-
ers in every section of the Southwest-

upon the beginning of work for the

with which the health program of
the organization is being received.
Hence, it is expected that in an

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Touring Car is literally the pioneer in the solution of the Good
Roads problem, because three million or more in operation brought up to the
millions of America the necessity of good roads if quick transportation at low
expense was to be enjoyed. The simplicity of the Ford car, its stability in
construction, the famous heat-treated Vanadium steel with its marvelous strength
and flexibility, the low cost of operation and maintenance, its ease in operation,
all have made the Ford car the great favorite in every land in the world. It's
the one car that always satisfies and serves. A utility beyond question that all
can afford. We sell them and will be pleased to have your order. Don't delay,
because the demand is heavy all the time. We have almost everything in motor
car accessories, carry the genuine Ford Parts, and assure the best in mechanical

The strength of the United States
depends upon the practical patriot-
ism and sound economic thought of
her future citizens. These character-
istics must be developed in the dally
life of the school.
Economists agree that the univer-
sal adoption of habits of intelligent
saving will strengthen our nation tre-
mendously. When every wage earn-
er has a reserve fund of money the
country will be sound economically,
socially and politically.
The teacher who encourages pupils
to earn money and invest in Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps is
doing much \ for their economic
strength and practical patriotism.
Each child who buys stamps feels
a partnership in the Government; he
learns the wisdom of investing his
money in securities that are abso-
lutely safe; he becomes familiar in a
practical way with compound inter-
est; and as he sticks stamp after
stamp upon the card, he has a visual
demonstration of how savings.grow.
Faith without works is dead.
Thrift without safe in vestment such
as Government Savings Securities, is
robbed of its benefits. Its virtue lies
not only in its principles but In the
actual practice of Investment.
Each year thousands of boys and
girls in ■ the United States are de-
prived of a college education because
they lack money.
You can remedy this situation
aimmg your pupils by starting them
on the road to saving early in life
and encouraging them to safeguard
these savings in Government Securi-
ties.
You are rendering a real service to
your country by promoting the sale
of these stamps. The burden of war
debt still is heavy and the govern-
ment must still borrow money.
Add to your influence as a teacher
Promote sound economic thought,
practical patriotism and prosperity
by encouraging y.our pupils in the
regular purchase of Thrift Stamps
and War Savings Stamps.

"The Merchants and Manufactur-
ers' Exchange of New York which
operates the Grand Central Palace,
attempted to stop the entire machin-
ery of the democratic national com-
mittee by closing our doors this
morning," the statement said.
"This high handed outrage was
utterly without excuse or warrant.
The rent was paid to November 1,
1920, as our lease provides and this
morning $3,000—the monthly rent
provided in the lease, was tendered
at the Grand Central Palace. They
refused it."
It was stated that the doors ac-
tually had been locked against the

Need of Caution.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—Under
Secretary of State Davis today issued
a formal ( statement outlining the
position of th«f state department on
the proposed California law prohib-
iting land holding by Japanese.

val or disapproval of the proposed
law, Davis' statement said that an
outcome of the vote that does not
accord with "existing and applicable
provisions of law'' or with "the na-

be acceptable to the country at

ers against printing anti-American
information was recently given by
the Japanese police, according to in-
formation received here today
through official channels.

by the police at all newspaper offices:
"Recently there has been a tend-
ence in the press in consideration of
the American question to indulge in
defiance utterances and to insert fab-
rications. As it is feared that this
may have undesirable results upon
our foreign relations, you are reques-
ted to be careful about inserting such
Items in the future."
