Number 13
Partisanship and Prejudice
We clip the following good, sound
logic from the Duncan, (Okla.,)
Banner. While we are on the other
side of the fence, politically, we
sincerely indorse the following good
reasoning in all events.
"The Banner, of course, sees is-
sues through Democratic glasses.
We do it because our ideas have
been moulded that way. We do it
because we were born, reared and
confirmed in the faith of Democracy.
It is an inheritance of which we
are proud. At the same time the
Banner hopes and aims to be as
free as possible from partisanship
and political prejudice. We have
never subscribed to the "yaller"
dog doctrine—the doctrine of brass
collar partisans who fail to see any-
thing good in any party except
their own. Oklahoma has exper-
ienced too much rabid partisanship.
It has created prejudice that has
kept the state from making the
progress to which she is entitled.
The state has gone foward at a
good pace, outstripping many older
common wealths, but the strict po-
litical division has retarded this
growth more than ve think for.
We can be/loyal to party without
reeking with prejudice and slime.
We can fight our party's battles
without questioning the honesty
and integrity and good intentions
of our political opponents. The
young men of Oklahoma are not
growing up to be any the less
strong in their political affiliations,
but they are swayed less by pre-
judice than the older generation,
glory be! Speed the day when
broadmindedness and fair play
shall take the place of prejudice."
Some Turkeys
R. H. Raymer called at this office
Tuesday evening and gave us some
data regarding his turkey crop of
the past year. He brought 134 of
the birds to the Texhoma market
Tuesday which he sold for 12c per
pound, and they netted him the
neat sum of $161.93. This was
just half of Mr. Raymer's turkey
crop of the past year. About sev-
en hundred turkeys were marketed
in Texhoma Tuesday of this week.
That was advertised as "turkey day"
in Texhoma, and regardless of the
unfavorable road conditions that
many were received. There are
many more'of this feathery tribe
throughout the country, which all
indicates that this country is be-
coming quite popular of late in the
turkey raising industry.
The Dixie Lyceum
The Right Spirit
A gentleman was in town Tues-
day soliciting orders for Summer
underwear, and gave us an aston-
ishing list of his alleged customers.
The probable profit on the orders
that he took would amount to $20.-
00, and every £enny of this legiti-
mately belongs to our home mer-
chants who help to support our
schools and churches, buy our pro-1
duce, build our, sidewalks, etc.
Without our merchants we could
not have a Stratford, and with a!
united unanimous support we would
have a larger town, with a greater
variety in their stocks of goods.
We believe that these fellows
ought to at least be compelled to
pay an occupation tax before they
are allowed to take any of our
money away. We are a home pro-
tectionist, and he got no prder at
our house—Stratford Star.
Texhoma School Notes
' We have had two of the six
number? constituting the Dixie
Lyceum Course. Miss Wilmer, who
in her line was first class. The
longer she is gone from us, the
more we appreciate her. Booth
Lowry as an entertainer was clean,
sound and pleasing. May he live
long to bring sunshine . and teach
the world the philosophy of a harm-
less laugh.
On Dec. 16th we offer an entirely
different program, a distinctively
musical program given by the
University Girls. There are six of
these performers and each of them
a star. Don't miss this number, it
will not be surpassed by anything
given in the town this season. The
University Girls Dec. 16th, at Texas
Auditorium.—Adv.
If some men were half as attrac-
tive as they think they are they
would all be posing for life size
monuments instead of posing life-
like on street corners making sen-
seless remarks.—Liberal Democrat.
In Grocery Business
In New Mexico
We have been out on several of
our usual "mid night carousals"
this week. We have worked until
twelve o'clock three nights this
week and until past ten the other
nights. And, at that we got up
away before ten or eleven o'clock
the next day. This kiniof "carous-
ing" is not uncommon with us as all
of the people of town know who
have ever given it a thought.
Some fellows might not get in
quite so bad with the public if they
could more clearly, or would more
clearly, distinguish the difference
in the words, "did" and "does".
We understand that Dr. Risen of
Hooker has made public his inten-
tion of running on the democratic
ticket for State Senator from this
district in the coming election. The
early bird gets the worm, it is said,
so it is about time for all who
would like to hold an office during
the next term to get busy.
Christmas week, which is week
after next, all copy for ads as well
as reading items must be in before
Wednesday noon. We expect to
get that issue out early so we may
have at least a few hours off of
the job, so get your copy of all kind
to us the first of the week.
W. H. Miles and Geo. Cox of this |
city have purchased a grocery store
in Albuquerque, New Mexico where
these gentlemen and their families
will take up their abode in the fu-
ture. We are indeed sorry to lose
such good, substantial business
men from our midst. Mr. Miles
has been connected with the Fos-
ter Hardware store for several
years and has the reputation of
being a first class, straight-forward
business man in every particular
as well as a good citizen. Mr. Cox
has been with the Kugle store for
the past two years and it is said
about him that he is one of the
best salesmen that the town ever
knew, and when that is said it is
not all said by any means. He is
a splended citizen, and both men
and their families have hundreds
of friends here who regret their de-
parture very much, but we all
wish them prosperity and happi-
ness in their new home.
Report of the Texhoma public
school for the month ending Dec-
ember 5th.
The past month has been one of
the best we have ever had in regu-
larity and punctuality. We now
I have over 200 pupils enrolled and
the average attendance for the en-
tire school for past month was 97
per cent and there were only 9
tardy marks for the entire month.
We have seen the time that we
could make that many in one day
but when we consider the fact that
some pupils go 4 or 5 miles to our
school and go the entire month
without being tardy or absent, we
say that the above record is one of
which we may be proud. All of our
teachers want to thank the parents
for their splendid co-operation along
this line and we trust that next
month we may have a better one.
There are a number of our pupils
that do not have passing marks in
various subjects. We hope and
trust that every parent will exam-
ine closely report cards that are I
j brought home and if there is aj
failure on the card in any subject l
the back work should be made up
'before the close of this month.)
'This is an important time of the
school year and unless pupils bring
their work up to a passing standard
j they will not be allowed to contin-
I ue with their classes. Just a little
| encouragement on the part of the
parent will in a great many instan-
ces lead to better and more effic-
ient work.
The following pupils were neither
absent nor tardy during the month.
We are always pleased to report the
names of all pupils that have been
regular and punctual during the
month. The honor pupil is the one
who has made the most advance-
ment in all studies for the past
month. The names of the pupils
are as follows:
Dead Mouse? No
Last Saturday evening someone
thought there was something dead
in a certain place of business, and
a fellow mentioned that it must
surely be a little object, but that
it smelledlike it was awfully rotten.
The owner of the establishment
began an investigation and when
he reached the waste basket he
was surprised to find that there
was nothing therein, yet it continu-
ed to stink. Theh he "tumbled" to
what it really was, or at least it
appeared so. He picked up a
little sheet which he said was or-
dinarily called, "my paypa", cast it
into the fire and the air was refin-
ed immediately.
The Guymon Democrat has
changed hands. C. S. Baxter who
has been working with that estab-
lishment for years, is now the of-
ficial pen pusher, and we believe
he will make good. His former
connection with the plant gave him
the opportunity of knowing just
where he was landing when he went
into it and the conditions are al-
| ways more favorable with an "old
head" at the helm than they are
j under real new management. We
j wish Mr. Baxter success in his new
venture.

L. E. Job, mail carrier on rural
route No. 1, says that we mention-
ed a lot of good things that the re-
cent rains and fine weather were
doing for this country, but he tells
us of one good thing that we did
' not tell about. We did not know
it at that time or it would have
been in print last week. Mr. Job
took notice to the sprouting of mil-
lions of plants over the country
and upon investigation he found
that they were Russian thistles.
The moisture and the warm weath-

What The Farmer Receives
Had you ever stopped to think why it is that for
all your sales of grain, stock and produce you re-
ceive a bank check in payment? Has it occurred
to you that the purchaser of your farm products
takes your receipt for every dollar paid you in this
maraier?
A CHECK ACCOUNT
Eliminates all chances of error, for your check on
this bank is a record in writing, witnessed, receipt-
ed and therefore undisputable EVIDENCE.
