HIGH J|NKS AND

Success

the high school drew large crowds
last night. In spite of other enter
tainments in the city there vas a
bigger attendance than last year. The
receipts ran over $145.00, decided
increase over last year.
The parade was given at four
O'Clock in the afternoon led by the
selfstyled Sub-Marine band All
sorts of makeup representing the
different carnival shows followed.
The procession was over two blocks
long. The Chamber of Commerce
Junior was represented by over 80 OF
its members carrying all sorts or
banners advertising Guthrie mer-
chants and Guthrie products.
The big feature of the evening was
the minstrel show, coached by Prof
Christie Mccormick. Three times
the large auditorium was filled for
the performance The Japanese tea,
given by the home economics depart
ment was quite a success. The Dutch
lunch was well 2atronized The mock
motion pictures were true to life.
Other shows were the House O. Hor-
rors, kindergarten, House of Spooks,
Old Maids Convention, Dime Mu-
scum Business Show, and stands
selling home made candy, ice cream,
etc There were plenty of ghosts
spooks, pumpkin pies, as is suitable
for Halloween
Probably nothing was more inter
esting than the Business Show given
by the Chamber Of Commerce Junior.
Guthrie firms were advertised Each
patron was given a souvenir of the
occasion, which consisted Of small
sack Of Sun Gold flour a small can
of Calumet baking powder, a sample
package of Kellogg's toasted corn
lakes, or some other staple article in
small quantity

SURPRISED At STAND
Santa Fe's Head Says Government
Control is Only Safe Plan For
Nations Carriers

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct 31.--The sugges-
ton that all railroads in the United
States be placed under governmental
control, under system similar to
that governing actions of banks. made
by President e. P Ripley of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
road brought expressions of mild sur
prise, and in some quarters of amaze

financial circles today
Ripley admitted today that he ey-
pected some lifting of eyebrows over
his suggestion He did not know he
said, whether his own board of d.
rectors would approve his "revolu-
tionary' views, but his experience as
head of the Santa Fe system for 10
years has convinced him, he said,
that there must be radical change in
the relations between the railroads
and the government.
"The present system of regulation
is failing declared President Ripley.
Some method of economy must be
worked out. Every night five mag

convenience and comfort Possibly
one of these trains-two certainly
could care for the business.
Six trains leave Chic1go nightly
for Omaha and five for St Paul. Two
trains could do the business much
cheaper and much better.
