Get Out of the Old Rut
What's the use of spending our j
whole lives sleeping in the same;
old rut when there are bigger ones
all around us?
Wh at's the use of being in a rut
at all?
We want more industries in this
town, and new industries are never;
found in ruts. Ruts are too small
for them.
Lets crawl up out of our rut.
There is nothing in the old rut
for us, but there are opportunities
in every direction if we care to
teach out and grasp them.
It is up to us.
We can stagnate in our rut, or
we can reach out add grasp some-
thing—pull ourselves out—do
something—get to the top.
But we'll never do it as long as
we rattle around in the same old
rut with the dry bones of our an-
cestors for company.
We need new industries, and1
there are manufacturers all over i
the country looking for changes in
location.
But they will never erect their
plants in a rut.
They are full of life, and they 1
want a live atmosphere about them.
They want to locate in a com-
munity with advantage?.
Wc have them.
They want to be surrounded by
people of intelligence, who Know
how to use their brains.
We have the intelligence, and our
brains are capable of accomplish-
ing vastly more than we have ever
dreamed of in the past.
This commiuiity is charged with
intellectual and physical dynamite,
but it is in a rut and needs some
one to blow it out.
Let's nil get busy and blow.
Let's pull some of those manu-
facturers into this town on a tour
of inspection, and then let's give
them a fair opportunity to size up
our natural advantages and our in-
tellectual force.
We won't get them all. but we
will get some of them.
Nobody ever swallows a loaf
bread at one gulp.
Many bites make up a square
meal, and many efforts will bring
new industries into our midst, with
bigger pay rolls, and more money
in circulation, and more houses to
be filled and mouths to be ted.
It all contributes to the pros-
perity of a co nmuuity.
We want prosperity here,

Again we say. let's get out of our

prosperity.
It's waiting for us, but it won't
come to us.
We must go out after it.
Opportunity is everywhere, but it
won't crawl into our pockets un-
invited.
We must reach out for it, grasp
it, haul it in with a united -com-
munity pull.

Oklahoma Sbool Notes
The spring days are heie andj
this is the time of year when many
parents take their children out of
school. We hope this year to be
able to keep most of our pupils in
school until the close of the school
term. It is impossible for pupils to
be promoted to the next higher
grade unless they complete this
years' work in a satisfactory man-
ner. Parents try to encourage
your children for there is no greater
investment that can be made than
to give your children a real good j
education. Oui school is on the
accredited list and unless we hold
up the requirements we can not re-
tain our standard. There is noth-
| ing so discouraging to the pupils as
to repeat the same work year after
I year, and we trust that parents will |
co-operate in every way possible to
carry on the work until the close of
school.
On next Tuesday we will observe
bird day. We will render a short
program during the regular' chapel
period. We desire to encourage
our boys and girls to protect the
birds, and the program will consist j
largely of recitations and essays
pertaining to birds.
On next Saturday April 17th we
will have our annua) meet with the j
Goodwell college. This promises to
be one of the most interesting ev-
ents of the school year. Our school
boys will compete for a silver cup

The entertainment given by the
Meistersingers was one of the best
ever given at Texhoma. The vocal
and instrumental selections were
enjoyed by all. The proceeds
amounted to $45.25.

to exterminate these pests. We
hope the parents will continue to
encourage their children in this
good work.
