Just at present the papers are full

buying merchandise at the stores at
much less price. The greater portion
of this is in print and misleading to
the consumer.

mail order houses are offering re-
auctions of 10 to 20 per cent. They
are loaded heavily on Merchandise of

to meet their bills as the banks will
not let out any money on speculation

SHRIN

Nobles of Fl Zaribah temple are re- ceiving some very interesting litera- ture from the Wichita Falls, Texas, Shrine club. announcing that the fla nous Oil City wants a Shrine temple in 1920.
 The first gun of the Wichita Falls campaign was fired recently at a ban quet at which prominent Shriners from the great oil fields of north Texas gathered. Among the speakers were many distinguished Masons of Texas and Oklahoma. The big idea at the banquet was the feeling that as Wichita Falls is rapidly becoming such an important city and center Of Ma sonic activities, It Is the logical lOca- ton for Shrine temple.
 Maskat" has been selected as the name of the temple which the Texans hope to see located in Wichita Falls. ane one of the campaign slogans IS We must get Maskat.
 The Wichita Falls people are used to doing things on big scale, and their city has grown in population from IT, 5OO to approximately 5O.O00 in the last It months as a result of the discovery of seven great oil pools within radius Ol 25 miles of the city.

 Gun toters,
 How long is a civilized society going to permit the toting of guns? When we going to stop putting revolvers into the hands of irresponsible boys and in the pocket of the desperado |? Shall we never learn? Will we never profit by the lessons of hold-ups Of murders. of all the crimes of violence in which the gun toter pulls the trigger?
 Gun toting is a bad habit. It is @ costly habit. It sends human beings to the gallows- and their victims to graves. It fills jails, reformatories and penitentiaries. It breaks the hearts of mothers. wives and sisters. It makes necessary a larger police force. and greatly increases the dangers every po- liceman faces when he protects the lives and property of law supporting citizens.
 The gun toting habit may be broken easily. quickly. and with no discom- fort except to dealers in small fire arms, by simply forbidding the sale or lease. except to duly appointed and author iZed police officials.
