and attired in a rubber coat, for the
Time being forgot the police depart
ment and did FIRE duty. The Water
Witch and Brandywine Companies
also responded.
The blaze started on the roof from
unknown cause, and as there was
plenty of water nearby. the firemen
had little difficulty in overcoming the
flames.
The family reunion celebration was
halted for time but was resumed ar
ter the fremen left The latter were
thanked by Mr.. Lindsay and given
some Of the refreshments provided for
the guests.
Among the accidents reported,
probably the worst was than which

The Irony Of Fate.

The big event OF this seasons

( Candidates and the Elks-promises to
find one of the candidates in a rath
er unenyiable position. This gentle
man is both a candidate and an Elk
but not a member of either ball team
which will participate in next We'd

We refer to Buck Garrett. Being
a hard working candidate and thor

tribulations which are the candidates

standing of the B. p. o. f., Mr.. Gar

the bats on Wednesday next, when
Greek meets Greek at the city ball
park.
Acting upon the impulses of a gen.
erous heart, Mr.. Garrett responded
to the call of his fellow candidates
and brother Elks, in their hour of
need. Now it seems he must pay the
penalty for being good hearted man.
Through the irony of Fate in ner
blind Vaccinations, Mr.. Garrett finds
himself, as it were, between the devil
and the deep sea.
Mrs. Curtis. manager for the Can
didates. stated this morning that if
Umpire Garrett so far forgot his duty
to his brother candidates-if he so far
forgot the courtesies due the gentler

which he is making.
Troubles never come slngly. It now
develops that it has been given out
by those high in authority in the fra

allegiace, that If he fails to throw the
required number of decisions to the
Elks. enabling them to win the game,
he may have the doors of that order
closed in his face. The only solution
which has been found up to date. for
this bad, bad situation, by which Mr..
Garrett now finds himself confronted,
will be to see that a tie game is
played. BY decisions carefully scat.

Is 1t any wonder that the race
of men who have learned to sacrl-

these women and children should die
with courage and resignation when
the crisis appears? The Building

to do with intoxicating this practical

THE TEXT BOOK
HEARING ENDS
MEMBERS SAY CONTRACT WILL
NOW BE LET-GOvERNo SAYS

The state board of education sitting
as text book commission. gave a
hearing to Governor Cruce FRIDAY az
ternoon after il had concluded its
hearings with the school text book
men and as a result, the contracts
viii be-the contracts will not be
let
The school board reiterated that
they would be let.
The governor reiterated that they
would not be let il he has any say
in the matter.
Although the members OF the board
had no idea that the governor had
changed his mind in regard to the
feasibility of letting the contracts az
this time. they thought it might be
wise TO hear from him again before
entering into any contracts with the
book companies and so an invitation
was extended him Friday noon to ap-
pear>1and there was a conference
between governor and members of
the board lasting the best part OF one
hour. When it was all over, the
governor emerged smiling, and in re-
ply TO inquiries stated that he had
simply tod the members of the board
what he had said on a previous Occa-
sion that he would not o. X. the
bonds OF any book companies, and
would not sign any contracts at this
time.
Members OF the board said that il
was an executive session and that
what ranspired during the meeting
was known only TO them. However
it was learned that the governor gave
no reasons for asking a postpone
ment but asked that the contracts be
let later On, in Difference to his
wishes.
The board then went on with its
work which now consists of wedding
out courses of study which are con-
sidered unnecessary and of adopting
only those courses OF study which

are deemed essential TO the welfare
OF the school children. Fewer books
will be purchased this year than were
found necessary four years ago, but
the courses of study will be maoe
more complete by judicious outlin'
ing OF the various courses OF study.
That is what the members OF the
board say.
Now that the hearings are over,
Fred W. Scherubel will entertain at a
banquet tonight at the Skirvin, for
the more than 125 representative OF
publishing houses and the members
of the school board.
After the courses of study have
been decided upon, the board will be-
gin the work OF letting the contracts.

He has been a resident of Enid since

of Oklahoma. He was twice elected
to the state senate on the democratic

was noted to the state senate for
his ability, energy and industry, and
was considered as leader among
that body of able men, from 1898 un-
