THE Rose Maid" which Manager
cambridge of the Shubert will offer
his patrons next week, is an operetta
with twelve-months, run at the Globe
theater, New York city, to it's credit,
all of which is more astonishing when
it is recalled four of these months
were played during the summer,
when, with but rare exception, now
and then, Broadway theaters are
closed
The book of the opera is from the
pens of Robert B. and Harry E. Smith
| who have more than a score of sue
| cessful musical plays to their credit
| including the famed robin Hood.

Seven Below Zero.

Where is the man who prophesied
an open winter? How is seven be-
low zero on the night of the 18th for
a starter for an open winter The
snow storm and blizzard which we en-
joyed on Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day was as great surprise to the
open winter weather man as Hughes
defeat for the Presidency was to the
Republicans Of the country. We can't
get over the shock Of either, or both.
Perhaps this cold snap will be the first
and last one we shall have this win
ter We are informed by the local wea
Their man that below zero is the
coolest November record he could
find on the weather record books at
this point The prediction is rising
temperature We shall hope so, and
that the open winter prophecy will
still prove true.

GOES BARE
FOOTEDFOR
50 YEARS

Carlton, Oklahoma-For thirty-five
years, J. NJ. Haigler, has gone unshod
the year round, and at rs he is de-
void of aches or pains of any sort. He
is man of extraordinary physique,
standing six feet tall and weighing
325 pounds, and is as prankish as a
boy Of II.
II don't remember of ever being ILL.,"
he says, "and have always eaten
with the relish of a hungry man what
has been set before me. I lived out
doors as much as possible and have
always been active, both mentally and
physically. Maybe that has helped to
keep me young.
There is nothing eccentric about
Haigler. He is the father of five sons,
all huskey men, owners of large herds
of cattle, horses and dogs and thou
sands of acres Of land.

DELIVERY
SYSTEM
STARTED

In spite of the raging blizzard Mon
day morning Donald Johnson with
his delivery men were successful in
delivering 200 orders which were run
out of the depot, or station, by 8 o.
clock a. m. This is considered pretty
good for beginning, Mr.. Johnson is
very anxious for US to urge the people
to get in their orders early and when
they place a grocery order to place
their meat orders at the same time.
By doing this it will simplify matters
and make it better for all concerned.
Another request on the part of the
grocery and meat men is to make your
full order for what you are likely to
need for the day, or several days. By
this means the delivery will be heav-
Ter, but they will not have to made so
often. Cooperation on the part of
the patrons, merchants ard the deliv-
cry men, will accomplish greater re-
suits and more prompt service. The
ladies are requested to familiarize
themselves with the followink rules:
