WILL APPEAL CASE,

In the case of Greene & Dean and
Fl. F. Aldrich VS.. the Box Springs
Canal and Reservoir company, in the
county court here this week, de-
cision was rendered in favor of the
defendant reservoir company.
The plaintiffs, acting on behalf of
r. w. E. Clevenger. sold 100 acres
and thirteen shares of water stock
in the Box Springs system. 1t was
sold to a man named Robinson, who
transferred the property to one Mr.
Sweeney. About a year after the
date of the transfer of the land and
water by deed and written assign
ment of the water stock the plaintiff,
Greene & Dean, brought suit against
Clevenger for a commission Of $3.50
for making a sale of the property.
They discovered transfer of the
water stock had not been made on
the stock book of the corporation.
For that reason they garnisheed the
water company in an attempt to seize
the thirteen shares of water stock
formerly owned by Clevenger.
The plaintiffs have announced an
appeal to the supreme court.

Oliver Opens Garage

T.. l. Oliver has opened his garage
In the handsome new building erected
expressly for that purpose. Mr..
oliver has one Of the largest and
most handsome garage buildings in
the Arkansas valley. Everything is
modern and the very latest of appli-
ances have been put in to accommo-
date the auto-driving public. Gas
and oil may be taken on at the front
or in the building, as can also air for
the tires. The new air device is one
OF the very best in use anywhere.
Whatever the pressure desired for a
tube that amount can be accurately
taken by setting the instrument at
the proper pressure and turning on
the air. When the pressure maxi
mum is reached the air is shut off.
The garage Is SO wide and 1876
feet deep. running to the alley from
Main street, on which 1t faces. The
building in itself is handsome
structure and adds materially to the
looks of the street on which It is To-
Gated. The complete machine shop
is located in the rear of the build
ing, where the most modern equip
ment has been installed. Expert ma
chinists are in charge and any work
turned out by this shop will be de-
pendable.
Mr.. Oliver announced several
months ago that he would put in an
up-to-date garage, and it was soon
after that that the building was
started by A. M. Ward, who owns
the property. The building is barely
completed now. but Mr.. Oliver moved
in the first of this week and COM
menced doing business.
On one side of the main entrance
is located the spacious office and
sales room. On the other is a large
display window, where cars may be
shown. Mr.. Oliver has the agency
and will sell the Buick and Chevro-
let cars, each a well known make
here.

WHY BOYS SHOULD
STAY IN SCHOOL
lErom Litery pigest.l

(FrOm Lltery DlgeSt.)
To the boy who is asking II he
should 20 back to school the aiiirma.
tive reply has already been given by
the president, tho secretary Of war,
the secretary Of the navy, the post
master general, and other govern.
u,ent officials. Their words are re.
echoed by the American Boy (De.
troit), which gives the reminder
that "this isn't war merely Of num-
bers Of soldier and their sheer brute
force:
ats war Of trained men-a war
that Is fought largely by mathcmati-
cians, skilled mechanics, electricians,
seronauts, seamen, chemists, SANTA
tino experts, surgeons, business
men. Thousands and thousands Of
these educated leaders in the war
have been killed OF lost to the
service through wounds; other
thousands may be destroyed. Who
will take their places II the
war continues long? Certainly it will
not be the boys who have dropt out
cf school.
..There's another reason big
one. The work of the world will go
on after this war has ended. War
or no war, there must be skilled me-
chanics, electricians, aeronauts, sea-
men, chemists, sanitation experts.
surgeons. business men. There viii,
be fewer such after the war. That
means there will be an unusually
good opportunity for you to gain sue
cess and distinction In your chosen
line Of work. But you can't succeed,
you can't gain distinction, II you
have been Stacker in school.
1.-THE hest reason for your staying
in school we haven't given yet. 1t
is not only that you can earn more
money when you are man, II you
stav In school; It is not only that you
will have IL better chance to succeed

BUILDING REAL ROADS

Voters at Tulsa authorized the in
vestment Of $1,75O,OOO in roads of
that county. The highways to be
built will be Of materials similar TO that
used In building the highways within
the corporate limits of oklahoma. City.
/ thus, persons living in the vicinity of
Tulsa Will be able to drive their motor
cars into the oil city over a hard-sur-
faced road that can't get muddy or
dusty.
In Oklahoma City we have given
extended discussion to this plan of
building roads. But we didn't bring
the matter to a vote. So. we drive
over muddy roads when II rains. pro-
vided the roads are not impossible.
ana we drive over dusty roads when
there Is no rain, proved the clouds or
dust don't obscure the landscapc and
make driving too dangerous to UNDER
take.
NO announcement has been made
as TO how far Tulsa will extend the
hard roads to take retail trade into
that city. Probably more bond issues
will be needed to round out the ex-
pansive plan. Since oklahoma CITY
is the greatest business community
Of the state, the suggestion which
comes from Tulsa should prove OF
value here.
This city can double its retail trade
If Wen provide the highways for mo-
torists to use. The people Of central
Oklahoma wish to trade at Oklahoma
City. They are waiting for hard
surfaced roads TO enable them to
make quick ana safe trips to the
states greatest shopping center

WAS 1T PERSUNG?

In London rumors are going about.
People are whispering to one another
and pointing in reverential awe to
photographs OF General Pershing. the
American commander. Did you OBJ
serve from the dispatches that General
Pershiug was an interested observer
Of the recent great drive OF Field
Marshal Haig's forces? Did YOU also
notice that General Pershing was
present when that coup was first
worked out? Does It not occur to You
that the unprecedented and surpris-
ing methods Of attack were totally
foreign TO British military tradition
and practice? And Doesn't IL seem.
now that you contemplate it, to have
been a typically American trick? Yes,
you guessed right. In London they
are saying that General Pershing
evolved the scheme and planned the
whole affair IL this is true and one
American soldier can do all OF that.
what do you suppose will happen
when one million sons OF Uncle Sam
get into action in France?

Special TO The World
MIAMI, Okla, Nov 23.-On Decem-
Der the county of ottawa will vote
on 100000 bond issue for good roads
The county seems to be divided over
the question at present, the farming
communities being against the issue
and the mining district being largely
in favor OF the bonds as they will get
the main benefit.
The argument for the bonds is that
the county will get Ike amount-ot
money from the government under
the national good roads appropria
ton and that the county needs the
roads badly. The argument against
the issue is that the cost of building
the roads now will be so great that
the county win not really get it's
moneys worth.
