ADDRESS DELIVERED
BY REV. S. D. TAYLOR
Tells Glass of Americas Obliga-
tion to World" Points Out
Where America Leads All
Nations.

"Our obligation to the world is
the greatest that has ever come to
any nation at any time, and our
conduct as individuals will influence
the world more than any one since
the days Of Adam and Abraham.
said Rev. Frank Sam D. Taylor. in
his commencement address at the
Chickasha high school auditorium
last night
Reverend Taylor spoke to an audi
ence as large as has ever attend
ed commencement exercises in the
local high school, including the 40
seniors whose names are placed on
the alumni and alumnae list by the
presentation of diplomas last night.
Continuing, Rev. Taylor said, in
part;
America is the greatest lover OF
freedom in all the world. There
still courses through the veins OF
Americans the blood Of ancestors
who dared to stand In the face OF
kings and declare that man has in
alienable rights which the state did
not give and which the state though
it may deny, cannot take away. It
was for these rights that they said
farewell to native land and facing
the then perils of a trackess sea.

New World, drove back the rcd saw
age, conquered the wilds, refused
obedience to kings left their bloody
footprints In the snow of Valley
Forge, in the darkness of the night
drove through the broken ice Of the
Delaware, and with the coming OF
the sun of spring, amid the glisten-
ing dew drops under the banner OF
the Prince Of Peace they planted in
this new, fertile soil the seeds OF
individual freedom that has been
bearing its fruits ever since until
today we have become the ideal ma.
tion of the world
When all Europe was about to go
under the heels of German militar-
ism, they turned to America as
their only savior, and like the man
of Gallilee who could not save him
self il he saved others, we chose
to sacrifice the noblest blood that
ever coursed through human veins
that we might save world clviliza-
tiOA. America responded as one
man We met the "Blue Devils" OF
France coming from the battle
field, beaten broken and discour-

them and their foe and beat him to

wrath of civilized world. they too

and obtain mercy for them at the
hands of their conquerors.
"All thel implicated nations OF
Europe immediately laid their petit

redeemer from the west And all
neutral countries turned aside to
learn from us how to do right and

"A Model TFoSH'' 6 Taken
 Up for Discussion Wish
 The Girls cf the SGnG3I
(By Louise Jeater)

There are many essentials for a model town among them are the fol- lowing:
 A model town should have good churches and schools, good commer- cial club, a good civic improvement club. There should be gas for fue,, electric lights, sewerage, water works and an efficient telephone system. The streets should be paved to keep down the dust A model town would be situated on some trunk line railway. Shade and ornamental trees would be on the residence blocks. There would be lively newspaper. A model town has a good mayor and city council ond efficient police regu- lation. Ordinances prohibiting pool rooms, skating rinks, and carnivals should be prohibited. The civic inn .provement should provide ample, in- nocent amusements for the young peo- pie There should be a curfew law, rigidly enforced requiring all people under Is years of age to be in their homes at p, m.
 A compulsory school law would be needed for a model town so that all children under IS years of age be compelled to go to school. There should be a stock law, so that no stock be allowed to run out in town. A good fire department is needed
 There should be an efficient health officer so as to keep the town sanitary Sanitation is the science of how to improve health especially public health There should be sanitary drinking fountains on the street. The wastes of the town should be carried outside of the incorporation and burn ed There should be city park under the supervision of the town With a commodiOdS rest room.

FOR COUNTY YREASURER
Pr0i. T. T. (. Anderson Makes Formal
 Announcement This Week.

The News is authorized to announce the candidacy of Prof. T. T. c Ander- son of this county for the office of County Treasurer, subject to the action of the Democratic primary next Aug ust.
 Prof Anderson is now serving his first term as representative for this county. He filled this office in a way that met the commendation of his con stituents, having tried in every way possible to represent the wishes of the majority of the people in all matters. He feels that he con no longer afford to fill an office that is a personal ex- pense rather than a source of income, leaving that for a younger man.
 He is known to most of the people of this county, having taught in our schools here for 35 years, and always at the forefront of his profession. He is amply qualified to attend to all the duties of the office which he seeks, and worth y in every respect, man of high ideals and of sterling integrity. The News respectfully submits his claims to the voters of his party for their consideration.

ITS \ WONDER.

The Little River News has purchas- ed and now has in operation in its job department one of the most wonder ful presses that has ever been invent ed Mir. Roger k. Jackson, erector for tie Miller Saw Trimmer Company, ar rived in this city Friday and remained until Monday afternoon installing the press and feeder and training the News pTussIu.tn, Charley Henderson, into the mysteries of this new marvel,
 Expert press feeders have been known to feed through an ordinary iobbar as high as 10000 sheets in Q day of ten hours He didn't tight many C: arettes nor take many drinks of Wster when he dia it. Our new press has an automatic or mechanical feed CT. which will put through as high as 9 900 sheets in day and do it right It picks the sheets up enc at time, puts them in the press in exactly the right place. So exact is this that sev- eraI colors my be run, one at a time, and never vary hair. It takes the printed sheet out, drops it in rack and joggs them up nicely into per feet stack. Should it run out of stock it will throw the press out of printing contact and begin to ring bell, which will continue to ring until more stock is supplied or the printer comes and stops it. It will also ring the bell should it miss a sheet or get hold of an imperfect one.
 It Will thus be seen that the eapa- city of the News job department will be more than doubled, as we'll as the improvement in the accuracy of the work. The printer has time for some thing else while the press is going about it's business turning out the work. He can spend his time in pre- pairing the next job, putting more care and quality into his work, giving more attention to small detail. The press never stops to take a drink of water ana SO6S IISuI dIICCiu NlICll IbC lilHtAi who starts her going is called away. Come in and see it any time.
 The past year has been one of rapid improvement in the News office. First we installed modern newspaper press, which now handles the paper and other large work rapidly and with a high degree of neatness to the print ed page, after we installed new type to take care of the advertising and commercial work, which our linotype did not handle In short the News plant today is one of the most modern ly equipped in the country, the larger cities not excepted.
 These improvements have been made possible by the loyal support of a clientage throughout this town and section. We expect to go right ahead making such improvements as will make for quality and service, giving to the pubic our best effort.
