Oklahoma City Times-Journal: Yester-
day afternoon one of the city's popular
young ladies had occasion to use the tele-
phone. She called up central and asked
for a certain number and had said hello,
when q voice from the outside answered.
hello The young lady could not attend
to two hello people at once and paid no
attention to the hello on the outside.
Something went wrong with the phone
requiring the young lady to hello several
times. The voice outside continued 70 say
hello. and finally ended like this:
Young lady-Helloi
Voice outside-HeHo, Who are you?
After the young lady rang of it devel-
opend that a farmer selling peaches rs
on the outside who had imagined all the
while that some one was saying hello 10
him. The price Of peaches Immediately
dropped, as did also the farmer when the
telephone situation was explained
This is the way the ArapahOe Bee views
the Normal matter: The Barnes com
mission took an informal ballot on the
train as they were returning from their
swing around the circle, and the result
was three for Weatherford, one for Cor
dell and one FOR Granite as a site for the
location of the Southwestern Normal
The formal ballot was taken and resulted
in a unanimous vote in favor of Wealth
erfOrd. II is practically certain that the
commission appointed by Governor Jen-
kins Will decide on either Mangum or
Granite. and that their decision VIII be
the one recognized by the governor and
the territorial board of education. Then
the matter will be taken 10 the courts
for settlement. as we are reliably inform
ed that WeatherfOrd IS prepared 10 take
such a course. There is no doubt I'm
our mind but what the courts Will sus-
tain the jenkins commission. but we
would like 10 see the matter tied up until
after the meeting of the next Legislature,
and have the whole business wiped out.
