Some people were made for soldiers,
The Irish were made to be cops,
Sauerkraut was made for the Germans,
Spaghetti was made for the Yaps,
Fish were made to drink water,
Buns were made to drink booze,
Banks were made for the money,
Money was made for the Jews,
Everything was made for something,
The soil Of the earth to till.
God made Wilson for President,
But who in the hi made Dill.

the opinion that the action OF the gov
ernmeut in taking over all the rail
roads will have no effect therefore on
the proposed union depot
Mr. Walton expressed it to be his
opinion that the government taking
over the railroads will advance the
chances Of Oklahoma City having a
Sason depot, as he said that he does
not believe that the government ever
will let the railroads get from under
their control again, and that instead ot
the railroads building &OOOOOO

them during the period OF the war,

NIGHT SCHOOL TO
 MEET IN NATcHAUo SCHOOL
Sessions Will Open Oct. s-L 8. Har-
 roun Will Be Principal.

At a meeting of the night school committee of the school board, it was voted to hold sessions of the night school at Natchaug school this year. The school is very helpful to those who were unable to complete their education in the public schools and those who have just come -into this country and do not understand Eng fish.
 The school will open on the eve ming of October and will be at least one course, the general course. In addition, business course will be opened if there are at least 25 who want to take 1t and a cooking course will be started if 20 candidates are secured.
 All of the instruction is gratis ex- cept in the cooking course where each scholar pays for the material used. Tn the other courses. the future scho1- ar gives 8 small sum as security and the money Is refunded to him later in the year if his attendance Is a1l- right.
 The teachers have not been decided upon as yet with the exception of the principal who will be J. H.. Harroun, the, principaI- of the, Natchaug school.
 The average attendance last year was 65 which is not large for Willi- mantle, but it is larger than the at- tendance in other places.
