BERT HARDENbROOk
AN EXTRA BOY DEAD
Former Marshal Of this City Died at Camp Hospital
At Eagle Pass, Texas

Sergent Burton Hardenbrook, a
former Marshal of the city of E&-
ira, and a son of George and Re
becca Bundy Hardenbrook of Ara
paho. Custer County, Oklahoma, was
born in Prairie City, Iowa, August
81, 1867, and died at the Camp
Hospital of the United States Army
stationed at Eagle Pass Texas, on
February 5th, 1917.
In the early seventies the Hard
enbrook family came to Extra,
where Burt grew to manhood and
received his education. His manly
habits and strict temperate atten-
tion to business matters won fol
him the admiration and respect Oh
our business men who advised his
appointment as City Marshal.
In 1893 THE family moved to Ara.
paho, Custer County, Oklahoma, be-
ing among the first settlers in thai
new country.
In 1895 he enlisted in the army

IMPORTANT FACTS TO
BECOME VISIBLE

There seems to be some thing
new under the sun" i'm the mat
ter of management of public busi-
ness in Audubon County. A pur-
chasing agent has been appoi nted
whose business it is to receive bids
for court house supplies, awarding
onders for same to those responsi-
bile bidders who quote the lowest
prices.
From many standpoints this plan
has much to commend 1t. What has
seemed to be an insurmountable OBJ
sbacle in the past to such arrange-
ment is the fact that there has APP
peared to be no way of providing
compensation for the purchasing a.
gent, and such am official can hard
'ly be expected of course to serve
without pay.
However, if this difficulty cam
be Or has been adjusted, there is
i no question that the plan would
be unspeakably superior to that oh
am airtight private monopoly of the
court house business such as has
existed for the last three or four
years. The doors to- competition
have been closed; and the Advo-
cate has furni ished supplies to the
court house at such prices as 1T
chose to name according to the
best available information. The
new arrangement will show whether
that paper has been playing fair or
has been holding the public up
while it's parity has held the coun-
ty offices If any considerable diff
ference is Qound between its
prices when in and out of power,
there will obviously be but one
explanation. The new plan will
clear UP the haze regarding this
point; and it will be worth while
/. for taxpayers to watch the out
come pretty closely.

WHERE Do YOU TRY
TO MAKE PROFIT

1T is not advertising, but SYS-
TEMATGQ advertising that gets and
holds business from january to-
December.
Ii you are a business man and
indulge in spasmodic, hap-hazard
advertising, YOU may call it an ex-
pense OR a speculation or anything
else you choose; but if you adver-
tise Systematically and regularly,
you know for fact that it is
really not an expense but an i'm
vestment instead, and that you get
Your money back and a PROFIT
besides. You are in business tc
make profits, aren't you? Then
why not make them on printers
ink, as Well as on pickles, or pan
cake flour or peehaboo wadsts or
porch chairs, stoves, or furniture?
But the formula isn't just adver-
tising. 1t is SYSTEMATIC advertis-
ing. This is the point that is so
elusive and slippery that it keeps
getting away.

LECTURE At N. {.
CHURCH A SUCCESS

The lecture at the NJ. b. Church
Thursday evening was fairly we'll
attended. The lecture on Africa
and her people was one OF the
best we have heard. Certainly
there is something great in the
future por Africa if she continues
10 deyelop as she has the past "a
years.
A mans wealth in Africa is not
counted by the number OF acres
he owns but by the number Oh wlVe
ne has. If he becomes a Christian
he liberates all his wives but one.
That means giving UP most oil nus
wealth. If an African has daugh-
ters he expects to sell them Tor d
bout $50 each. If he becomes
Christian he gives them their IL
berty so they can marry at thear
own choice.
III YOU had been at the lecture
Won would have gone away With a
more exaulted idea OF chrlsuamts

HERE IS A PAY UP
WEEK PUZZLE FOR YOU

The Journal would print your an
swers if you will send them in.
Yeswe will do more than that.
We will give "a copy of the Journal
for one year for the best solution
of the puzzle.
This is the popular puzzle over
the state just NOW, according TO
an exchange: A banker going home
to dinner saw a $40 bin on the
curbstone. He picked it up, noticed
the number and went home to din
ner. While home, his wife remark
ed that the butcher had sent iDalA
amounting to $40. The only mon
ey he had was the bill he had
found, which he gave her and she
Maid the butcher. The butcher paid
it to a farmer for a calf, the
farmer to a. merchant who paid it
to a. washerwoman, and she owing
the banker a note for $40 went
to the bank and paid the note.
The banker recognized the bill as
one he had found, and which at
that time had paid $50 worth OF
debts. On careful examination he
discovered it to be counterfeit. NOW
what was lost by the transaction,
and by whom?

Surgical Dressing.


Now and then one hears something
like this, in reference TO the Red
Cross work:
II wish that could help, but it
is entirely too expensive" Everyone
can help in the Red Cross work,
without any expense whatever. There
are great many who have other
heavy obligations, but who can give
their time, and they are needed quite
as much as those who contribute to
the chapter. There are q great
many calls all the time from churches
and the clubs, the memberships Of
which many women have already
joined, and it is most important that
all of these obligations be met. But
because one cannot give a money
value, do not think that you cannot
help with the Red Cross work, for
surely all can be patriotic enough to
help.
There is absolutely no charge of
any kind for the surgical dressing
classes, one of the most important
branches of the work. All who wish
to help in this may visit the Red
Cross rooms at any time and do work
either in the muslin room, just open
ed, or in the gauze room, giving from
half an hour to half day.
Muslin Room Added.
Once more the Pensacola Red
Cross chapter has been forced to en-
large it's headquarters, the large
southern room at the end of the Sec
ond floor corridor having been .hrown
open as a muslin room, with Mrs
Lewis Willis in charge. Here the
muslin bandages will be made, in
Guiding T bandages, four-tail head
bandages, abdominal bandages, tri-
angular sings.
On Saturday Mrs. George Berry
asks all who are taking the work in
surgical dressings who can arrange
to do so, to meet her at the Red Cross
/ headquarters to take a course II
/ making the laparotomy bandages. The
whole day will be given to this work
and all workrooms at headquarters
i will be turned over to the workers
| in order that all may be trained II
this before Mrs. Berry goes to New
York.
/ Those who cannot attend these
classes on Saturday may do SO OF
/ Tuesday,7as Mrs. Berry will give botl
Saturday and Tuesday to this work
All are asked to bring scissors anc

Donation From Gypsy Smith.
Mrs. Mallory Kennedy, president o.
the Red Cross chapter, announced
| yesterday afternoon that Gyps.
! Smith has presented to the chapter
4 five hundred copies of his lecture
"From Gypsy Tent to Pulpit" which
will be sold for the benefit of tn,
4 Red Cross chapter at twenty
cents each, the chapter to receive
all of the profits.
These copies of Mr.. Smiths lecture
were expressed to him, but failed t.
! reach Pensacola before his departure
and he has donated them to the Ref
