INTERURBAN NAY Be
BUILT BEFORE JULY

81 am one of many who believe that
the extension of the interurban road
from Edmond to Guthrie Will inure to
the benefit of the city" said a bust
ness man today. Certainly if it does
not help it can not hurt But ! feel
assured it will be Of vast benefit to
the town Compared with Oklahoma
City rents are cheap here and a good
train schedule will cause many fam
lies doing business in Oklahoma City
to locate in Guthrie think there
should be unanimous sentiment for the
building Of the line. However it
makes little difference whether one
favors it or not, if John Shartel can
get the necessary funds. the extension
will be built before July Of next year"

MOTHER

Years ago a party OF ladies organiz-
ed woman's Christian Temperance
Union in the suburbs OF indianapolis.
The union grew in numbers and IN
influence until its work was felt
throughout the entire state. One OF
the ladies who belonged to the union
took great interest in its work. Her
interest was such that she had the
bow OF white ribbon pinned on every
dress and waist which she had SO that
no matter how she might be clothed.
the little bow of national purity for
mems tastes rested in plain view just
over her heart
AS the years sped on. she grew in
the work OF the Union and OF all that
Is represented until 1t became to her
living example OF what God really
wanted on his earth. In her quiet
way she moves the working people
and children and young people of that
big city until she became known. not
only throughout that city but over
the state. as Aunt SAMMY" Three
score years and ten had passed since
her birth and the beginning OF three

day a message came that n sister had

months later. the message came that
another sister had Joined the one that
had already gone. A few weeks later
a third sister crossed the river that
separates earthly knowledge from
eternity. making a total Of three In
eighteen months and two In two
months.
One Sunday evening. after the sup
per was over. this worker In the vine
yard went and sat on the knee OF her
helpmate for life and calmly told him
that her time had come. She told
him what she wanted done in every
respect. Tho following Tuesday was

solo She began to sing that wonder
full hymn. What a Friend We Have
in Jesus" At the beginning OF the
second verse. she was seen TO raise
her eyes heavenward and with clear
voice the words rang out. Have we

Bile anywhere The word anywhere
was spoken so plainly 1t was distinct

AS she finished that word she clos

discovered that she too was Chamber

river. When they went to her home,
they discovered that she had left on
her bed a complete set of burial gar
ments. She had washed them on Mon
day. ironed them on Tuesday morning
and left them SO that no one could
doubt their purpose.
The next mornings papers announc-
ed that Aunt SAMMY had gone. The
next afternoon her body lay in plain
casket In the little room where she
had been a friend to man. In the
room where she had started the ball
OF sentiment rolling that will some
time make Indiana dry. That casket
and that floor, entirely to the walls
were covered with flowers. Not with
immerse bouquets, but with individu-
al blossoms that had been carried
there by little children OF the neigh
borhood and by men in the mills and
the factories among whom she had
worked. who could only AFFORD to show
their love through the one blossom.

REPUBLIC TRUCKS HAVE
INTERNAL GEAR DRIVE

Hugh King. Of King G. Wright. local
agents for the Republic trucks, in dis
cussing the internal gear drive with
which that truck is equipped. said:
"A history of the internal gear drive
for motor trucks is being compiled by
the Internal Gcar-Drive Association
and in the process Of this work an in
tercsting fact that may explain somo
OF the readiness of tho Standard Oil
Company to use motor cars for trans
portation has been brought out. Be-
tween six and seven years ago that
company bought n truck to use in In
dianapolis. and it chose one with Il
Gcar-driven rear axle. The truck re-
manned in service until few weeks
ago, when the Standard received an
offer to trade this truck for n new
model of the same make She offer
was accepted. tho old timer going as
part payment, but before it was turned
back TO the maker its record was gone
into carefully. The cost sheets showed
that in the more than six years of
constant employment not n cent had
been expended for repairs on the rear
axle, nor had n single replacement of
a part been made while in all, the
truck had covered $4,000 miles, an
average of approximately $4,000 miles
4 year.
