That is What the City Council
Must be Done in Texhoma.
For a long time people from both
country and in the city of Texhoma
have been accustomed to running their
cars with the cut outs wide open right
through the busy streets and in front
of churches and school houses. When
cars were few it made but little dif-
ference. But now since nearly every
body has his own individual machine,
and so many on the streets from
morning till night, and at all hours
in the night, and each one running
with the cut-outs wide open, the noise
has become so great that it has been
declared a public nuisance, and the
Ci+y Council, at the unanimous re-
quest of the Chamber of Commerce
has passed an ordinance prohibiting
the time honpred custom of each one
trying to see if he cannot make more
noise than the other fellow while on
the streets of Texhoma.
We are advised that Judge Lynch
has been employed to draft the ordi-
nance for the Council, and it will be
published soon giving people both in
town limits of Texhoma and the sur-
rounding vicinity to learn of the law,
Friends of Ham* Vincent md
Gladyse Yates were pleasantly sur-
pHsed when the news reached here
of their marriage at Stratford Wed-
nesday morning, and the newlyweds
were on their way to points in Colo-
rado for a visit.
Both the bride and the groom are
well and favorably knov.-n here and
need o introduction to the people of
this community.
Mr. Vincent is the con of Mr and
Mrs D. F Vincent of this city. He
has been a resident of Texhoma for
several years, and at present with F.
L Miller owns and operates one of
Texhoma's popular firms, The Palace
Pharmacy. He is one of our worthy
citizens and a host of friends admire
him for his good qualities.
The bride is a daughter of Mrs C.
B. Yates of this city. She was reared
to womanhood in our midst. She is a
young lady of refined character and
rn-ny accomplishments, having been
a member of the graduating class of
1920 of the Texhoma High school,
and is also a graduate from this high
school in voice. She is held in the
highest esteem by many friends.
It is with pleasure we chronicle
rounding vicinity to learn ot trie law, ^ marria?e of this worthy couple,
and make arrangements^ once y and extend our hearty congratulat-
equipping their cars with suitable ^ wishes.

into the
close them when they come
city limits.
The running of such vehicles on
the streets of Texhoma and in the
business centers of the city is a use-
less and unneccesary habit, and all
should proceed to correct it at once.
We understand that sign boards will
be placed at the entrances of the va-
rious roads coming into Texhoma,
giving the speed limits required and
notice to close the muffle*. Every
one who wishes to obey the laws of
the country or city where he lives
will try to conform to this law ac-
cording to the wish of the City Coun-
cil and at the rtqv.esl of the Cham-
ber of Commerce which requested it.

WHITE SOX ARE NOT GUILTY
Chicago, Aug 2.—The seven former
White Sox baseball players and two
others on trial for aleged conspiracy
to defraud the public thru the throw-
ing of the 1919 world series games
tonight were found not guilty by jury
The defendants were Buck Weaver,
3rd baseman, Oscar Felsh, outfielder,
Chailes Risberg, short stop, Arnold

Gandil first "baseman, Claude
an.s and Eddie Cicotte, pitchers, Joe |out any
Jackson, out fielder—al! former White j fixed already what it has

We are informed by Rev. Roger H.
Fife, President of the Texhoma Build-
ing Association that their first new
house is to be completed this week,
and will be ready for inspection on
Saturday. In behalf of the board of
trustees he invites all of the members
of the Chamber of Commerce and the
citizens of Texhoma and vicinity in
particular to call to see the new bun-
galow Saturday morning between the
hours of nine and eleven o'clock. It
will be "open house" to every body
and some member of the committe
will be there to show the building.
The building is now for sale at a very
reasonable price for such a structure.
Those who wish to buy should see
Rev. Fife for price and terms.
The building was erected by Bart-
lett and Deadwiley, the artitectural
work being done by Mr E. S. James,
and is one of the prettiest designs in
Texhoma. This enterprise is one in
which every good citizen in Texhoma
should take a personal pride. The
more new houses we build in our town
the more people we will have here, so
let every one who is interstd in this
department of building up Texhoma,
call Saturday morning and see this
specimen of enterprise that we be-
lieve will be far-reaching, in its re-
sults.
Just as soon as this building is sold
the President of the association tells
us that it is their purpose to start one
or two more new buildings at once.
They have other lots bought already,
and the enterprise will be pushed to
the limit.
Another very commendable feature
is that every real estate firm in town
has offered to sell this new property
for the association absolutely with-
commission. The price is

Washington D. C., July 27—The
Panhandle Plains Chamber of Com-
merce of Amarillo today asked the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
grant an emergency freight rate on
shipments of wheat to New Orleans
at the same rate as to Galveston with
a view to relieving congestion at the
latter port. Millions of bushels of
wheat are stored on the ground in
the Panhandle section of Texas and
Oklahoma, the Commission flas told.
The embargo on shipments of wheat
to Galveston imposed sometime ago
because of the congestion of port fa-
cilities at that place, was removed
yesterday by the commission and em-
pty cars ordered to proceed to the
Panhandle.

(By C. Bowles)
Credit is like a rubber band, if you
stretch it too far it will be useless.
A man who can put up a good ap-
pearance and a good front can often
times get credit and in many casta it
is justified and in others it is abused
by the debtor.
The very fact that the world had
too much credit is the reason for the
shortage of credit and of money. Any
person or corporation that will bor-
row money and use their credit with
no intention of paying it back is not
honest. Honest people will live within
their means. They will not contract
obligations that they know it is im-
possible to meet. It is not fair to
the honest people of the world to in-
cur debts that cannot be paid for they
must bear them.
If any man goes to work for an-
other and cotracts with him at a sti-
pulated sum and does not pay him,
he is dishonest. If an institution, a
a man
pay him they are dis-
and does not

We have concluded to go
why it is thot that they are a bunch
of dead beats. They many times are
but are made so. If a preacher re-
ceived his salary regularly so he could
meet his bills at the end of the month
he would have as good credit as any
man that walks the dirt. But he is
not allowed to be an honest man. If
he works to supplement his salary
his church doesn't like it, if he don't
he can't live and be honest as some
churches meet their obligations.
I unhesitatingly say I am one of
the preachers of the town and that 1

explain and defend the position of a
preacher. So that the world will

The cost of sending a special de-
livery letter is to be raised from a
dime to 25 cents. Postmaster Gen-
eral Hays, n making the change, is
going on the theory that when a per-
son sends a special delivery message
he wants the message specially de-
livered, a service that cannot be ren-
dered for a dime.
Rural communities are to have a
service also. Now it is impossible
from a business standpoint to send a
letter by special messenger to a far-
mer who lives two or three miles or
more away from the post office. Such
letters usually go by the regular
route delivery, and the government is
therefore in the position cf reciving
money under false pretense. T hey
can't special deliver in these cases,
even for a quarter, but what they
can do and what they propose doing*
is whenever it is possible telephoning
the remote location that a special
delivery letter is at the office, where-
upon, if he considers it of sufficient
importance, the farmer can come for
it or authorize, the postmaster to
engage a messenger boy to take it
out, or. when things so fall, to tell
him that a neighboring farmer ia
coming his way and authorize the
Postmaster to entrust the missive to
him.
Anybody, the postmaster geaeral
thinks would rather pay a quarter for
an actual special delivery service thai*
a dime for a theoretical one.

"The Fighting Chamce", Story by R.
W. Chambers, Filmed
The novel which first brought Ro-
bert W. Chambers into prominence
and which by most of his admirers is
regarded as his best is "The Fighting
Chance." It is a brilliant study of
New York Society. The central fig-
ures are a man and a woman, each
in the grip of an heridity taint The
man has inherited a strong taste for
alchohol, while the woman is the de-
ctndant of a long line of morally
weak ancestors. . How their love for
each other at""length conquers the in-
fluence of the past forms the theme
of the story.
"The Fighting Chance" has been
produced as a Paramount Artcraft
photoplay and will be presented at
the Strand Theatre August 10th.
A notable cast appears in the picture
with Conrad Nagel and Anna Nilsson
in the chief roles. Charlies Maigne
directed the picture.
