Through the efforts Of County
Farm Agent j. w. Owens, in harmo-
ny with the Oklahoma State Market
ing commission, $f,S43.92 was saved
by Grady county farmers in the pur-
chasing of two carloads of feedstuffs,

show.
Connections have been establish
ed by the market commission with

received from the producing centers
are transmitted through the state
commissions office to the county
agents and farmers of the state with
one-half Of the freight tariff added

down price for those entitle to

Close to $50 cars were ordered

buying saving estimated the selling
price of the products on the Chicka-

ed to $1,19915. This accounts for a
total saving to the farmers of this
county of $14S3.92. according to data

Customers:
Dear

This year Uncle Sam has asked us to intro
duce Santa Claus in November instead of
waiting until December as in the before-the-
war Christmas.
Yes, the war has finally come around to the
children-it is even threatening the Christmas
tree-but with your prompt action, the little
folks may still have their Merry Christmas.
"WHAT TO BUY" is a different question
this year The war has turned Christmas buy
ing topsy- -turvy. 1t is not only what to buy
but "Whento buy" as well, for the stores will
not be "open evenings" till Christmas. So the
time to buy is NOW.
We must urge upon you the need of taking
the safe course while delivery facilities are at
their best, instead of waiting till December when
there may be little or no chance at all.
So we hasten to extend to you the entire fa-
CilitieS of our store service and to assure you
that we have been fortunate in having a com
plete line of ServiCeable, dependable Christmas
Presents.
Yours for Patriotic Christmas,

All Sailors superstitious.

All sailors are superstitious, but
none is so completely under this in
fluence as the old deep-sea fisherman.
He puts the deepest faith in signs"
and omens Of all kinds. Nothing would
induce a skipper of the old school to
sail on a Friday. One intrepid unbe-
lever who dared to leave the docks at
Grimsby, England, on a Good Friday
was hooted through the lock gates by
the scandalized populace. In spite of
thus challenging the fates, however, he
returned safely with ship and crew.

annual Children's Day. All the men,

charge of Mrs. ]. G.. Edwards, whose
absence was regretted on account
of illness in her family.
Hon. B. E. Nicholson, superinten-

A very successful Red Cross rally
was held in the Baptist Church Sun
day afternoon, the devotional service
being conducted by Rev. R. G. Shan
nonhouse. Ex-Gov. John C. Sheppard
and Mr.. ]. VIM. Thurmond also took
part in the exercise, the principal
speaker of the occasion, Bishop Guer
ry, being presented by Mr.. Thur
mond. After the very inspiring ad-
dress by Bishop Guerry a collection
was taken by Mr.. Sheppard from the
rostrum, the subscriptions ranging
from $4,000 down to $500. The re-
sponses were very general and quite
generous, the aggregate of the sub
scriptions being about $1,000.
We confidently believe that the
county will go beyond the amount
apportioned to it to raise. And why
should we not? Giving for the sup
port of our boys at the front is the
very least service that we can render
in this war. Let's give and give again
and keep on giving as long as the
appeal comes from our boys at the
front.

Junior class of the High School
gave reception to the senior class,
nine in number. The occasion was
held in the home of Miss Sallle
Dozier of the Junior class, and the
evening proved most happy one
and memorable one as well. The
veranda held many coy hooks and
with swings, this was the most pop
ular resort. The chief diversion
was progressive conversation, but
these happy, care-free young people
needed nothing to aid in producing
conversation, they were joyous and
merry throughout the evening.
Bright music was enjoyed, and
later, block-cream and cake, in the
class eolors, were served.

day afternoon with Mrs. w. P Cas-

extension. The club by an unani-
nous vote will study next year
current literature" The year
books will be written, and each
meeting is to be in charge of speci-
fed ones.
The subject of current literature
was suggested at the Federation.
Just now, every one is busy at the
Red Cross rooms and in the winter
every one is more busy. There will
be no time for much study and read
ing and the idea was to have the
leaders CLEAN such reading matter
and items as every one wants to
know and keep abreast with the times
The program for the afternoon was
Southern DramatisLs," and proved
a most informing and interesting
one, there being several good papers.
The hostess served tempting salad
course with iced tea.
