scolded Citizens Transform Town,

Edmond. Ok, Nov. ll.-After
ChaS. Evans, the new president ot
the Central State Normal, at Ed
mond, had called 1000 residents
of this city in a mass meeting and
told them their town was dirty
and unsightly and AN undesirable
place to live, the business men
got busy and in few days their
committee reported to President
Evans that 500 dead trees had
been removed and 100 other trees
trimmed, whitewashed and other
wise improved in appearance.
This job is one of the most re-
markable ever accomplished in a
town of 1000 inhabitants in Okla
homa. And they are talking OF
making of it the Ideal college
town"
President Evans came to Ed.
mond for the purpose of building
up as good normal school as his
equipment and the annual appro-
priation would permit, but he told
the town folk that unless they
cleaned up the town the school
would be practically a failure
His speech was based on a Speci.
tic incident. An Oklahoma City
young man took an afternoon in.
terurban ride to Edmond, think.
ing probably he would locate here
but after he had walked along the
residence streets and had seen the
dead trees and grass and the gen.
orally neglected residence district
he concluded that it was an undo.
sirable place to live.
" And that sentiment will sink
right down into your business on,
of these days and you'll dry W
and blow away" President Evans
said in making his point. Then the
citizens awoke.

euce was too laet last week 10 be
gotten in type but the good
writer was not too late in saving
a good word for the Message:
He pens this editorial: This is
certain, fall worked roads mean
winter mud holes. We notice
that our Mexico Missouri Mes
sage, perhaps the brightest paper
published this side of the Muddy
Waters, will tell us fellows out in
the country to drag the roads.
But do you ever see the city fel-
lows out working on the streets
when they have spare time? Not
much, Mary Ann. Yes, we are
glad the Message man advocates
dragging the roads. He is not
only for the ciyty's interests but
also the county's welfare. This
is why, perhaps, his paper is read
by all the good people along the
Valley.

In regard to the necessity Of
the adoption of the proposed
eight mile road law the Mexico
Intelligencer makes this very
important claim: 1T is not a
question of depriying the City Of
Mexico Of its revenue for in the
end the increased trade that good
roads will bring to Mexico will
far overcome the costs of those
improvements. -

Dear Little Men and Little Women: As
was coming home from school one DAY
saw black and white cat. and 1t came UP
to me and cried. as II 70 say: ! am
hungry" So | picked her up and carrie
her home and FED her. thinking that u'e
eats owner had put her out into the street
10 get her own living. ! soon found ou'
who owned her, and as ! thought he hau
really put the poor creature out 10 looN
after herself took her for pet. Ihe
next day I asked the man why he did H.
and he said: 1.-The cat would get on the
liable and eat the food and break the
dishes" So then told nin that had the
cat and that I would soon break her OF
that haoit. but he said could not. FOR he
had tried his best and could not succeed
and did not want 10 bother with her any
longer. Then asked him II ! could keep
her. and he said: Yes; 7 don't want her"
said. Thank YOU" and bade him good
day. ard he said good day and I went
home AS opened the door the cat came
and -ubbed against me and looked az me
as II 10 say. Thank you for the dish or
milk you gave me before you went out.
