RELIEF CORPS SERVES DINNER
Dance in Evening at C. M. C. Hal
Ends Festivities

In spite Of the fact that the ther-
mometer lowered around the zero
mark, many people were in Cakes last
Thursday to participate in the Armis-
tice Day celebration.
It was impossible for the boys to
arrange very elaborate program be-
cause they ere.handicapped by lack
Of time. But they did exceptionally
well and those who attended felt that
they were well repaid for the time
spent.
The w. r. C. served bountiful din
ner to the ex-service men at 100 o.
clock in the Methodist church base
ment. After the boys had smoothed
all the wrinkles out Of their several
sfknap-sacks" and listened to an inn
promptu address by E. A. Sullivan,
they felt equal to almost anything and
the prospect Of pulling off parade
did not appear half so disheartening
as it had an hour previously. This
feature was made as brief as possible,
however, because of the extremely
chilly atmosphere.
It had been planned to publicly pre-
sent to each ex-service man his Victory
Medal. Applications had been made
for these badges Of World War service
several days previously, but govern
ment machinery runs slowly and they
failed to arrive in time, 80 this part
Of the program had to be omitted.
Most Of the medals reached here this
week.
In the evening public dance was
given by the local Legionnaires in the
c. NJ. C. hall, music being furnished
by the Legion orchestra. This proved
to be a wonderful drawing card and
the hall was crowded. The young
folks, and some Of the older ones as
well, whiled away the time tripping
the light fantastic until the wee small
hours Of the morning. The proceeds
Of the dance more than betrayed ex-
penses and the balance will be used
to good advantage by the local post.
During the day Old Glory waved in
the breeze above the city park and
the service flag was displayed in the
down town district in honor Of the
boys who braved the fury Of the Hun
on Europe's bloody battle fields.
The days festivities were most sat
isfactory in every respect and the
service men may well feel gratified
at the success which crowned their
efforts.
Armistice Day must take its rlace
with Memorial Day in the hearts Of
the American people,. and we should
put forth every effort on November II
each year to remind our boys that we
have not forgotten their sacrifices nor
the wonderful victory which came a
q result Of their participation in the
iworld war.

FARMERS WANT
THREE DOLLARS
Cost of Wheat Production 10 Hisf,
that this Will Allow Only
Small Profit
OKLAHOMAN SAYS @HOLD TT"
Visitor Advises to Sell Just Enough
to Pay Debts

would hold his wheat for 20 days the
price would advance to near $500 a
bushel and would remain at a high
level, according to Abraham Slaughter
Of Waukita, Okla, national organizer
for the Wheat Growers association Of
America, now in the state at the head
Of a delegation Of seven Oklahoma
farmers to organize North Dakota
grain growers for the holding Of their
wheat.
"In the eight states in the wheat
belt approximately IS per cent Of the
wheat is still in the hands Of the
farmers," said Mr.. Slaughter. 'This
wheat should be held for a $500 price.
So far we have organized the states
Of Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebras-
ka and part Of Colorado. Now we
expect to organize the farmers Of
North Dakota, particularly in those
counties east Of the Missouri river.
"If there is 60 per cent Of the wheat
left in North Dakota, we believe the
farmers should adopt the holding pol
icy. Some Of them will have to sell
part Of their grain to meet their ex-
penses and pay their notes at the
bank, but at least 40 per cent Of the
wheat should be held, and If this sys-
tenn is carried. out in businesslike
manner, the wheat held will bring the
farmer close to $500 bushel. We
are asking that price because it will
pay the cost Of production and give US
. legitimate profit.
Farmers who sold their wheat
around $3.50 when they threshed it
did the right thing for this year, but
they didn't make any money on their
crop.
"Our organization is purely farm
organization for the betterment Of
farm marketing conditions and moth
ing else. We feel the need Of more
shusinesslile management Of the farm
and its prpducts, but we are not in
terested IN the banking business or the
milling business to q point where we
wish to control Them Our sole OBJ
ject 10 to get fair price for our
wheat and we have no kick on how
any one else is conducting his busi-
ness. If we organize properly and
have proper cooperation we will get
the results"
These seven Oklahomans will be
sent out over the state to various
county seats to form county organiza-
tions and urge farmers to cooperate
with the national association and hold
their wheat for $500 bushel. No
state Organization will be formed.
The bankers in the states already
organized have given their fullest CO.
operation to the plan, according to
the representatives Of the association.
In Oklahoma the bankers have agreed
to finance farmers who will hold their
grain until the price is right and they
can meet their obligations. The Or
ganizers said that bankers in other
states had been equally interested in
the movement.
Without doubt a call will soon be
issued by the county agent urging
farmers to meet at Glendale or some
other place in this county to discuss
the proposition. It looks good from
here. Most people who give the sub
ject more than passing thought are
perfectly willing to help our farmers
get $500 a bushel for their wheat.

Governor DEGREES that Turkey Will B<
Executed Next Thursday

the various governors write their
Thanksgiving proclamations, setting
aside the last Thursday in November
as the time to show your appreciation
for the many blessings you have re-
ceived during the preceding twelve
months.
Instead Of following the sound ad-
vice Of our public officials, many Of us
look upon the day as one Of feasting,
and proceed to fill our boilers to the
limit with turkey and cranberry sauce.
This year is no exception, and as
usual, with the customary number Of
"whereases," 'to-wits," "therefores,"
"wherefores," "so-be-its," ETC., the
chief executives proceeded to enumer-
ate a few Of the reasons why we
should be extremely thankful that we
are still residents Of this mundane
sphere and not members Of mixed
choir located somewhere above the
clouds, or taking lessons in the art
of shoveling hot cinders without get
ting our fingers burnt
In reading these official documents
we couldn't help thinking that the
authors muffed few and left out sew
eral of the most important reasons we
have for feeling pretty well satisfied
with ourselves and everything in gen.
eral.
True. business is showing a slight
tendency to go on the bum, but in
spite of that, next year we know we
can't lay the grasshoppers and the
rust, and the postmasters and the low
price Of grain and whole lot Of other
things to the democratic administra-
tion. That's reason number one for
being thankful. The blame, if any
there be, will be shifted to other and
(maybe) ADLER shoulders.
Again, most Of us should be pleased
that we were not picked to act as a
national goat and be forced to clean
house and make good OF be disgraced.
Personally, we are thankful that we
aren't governor Of North Dakota, and
we'll bet lead nickel that we haven't
any corner on this feeling, either. Mr..
Frazier is probably thankful he doesn't
have to fiji his larder with what he
could make in the Times office. How
ever, we couldn't prove that, as moth
ing was said about it in his proclaim
alton and he hasn't seen our income
tax report.
Alex Wright says he is thankful he
has job, Roderick Liddell is just as
thankful he hasn't one, and our ef-
ficfent reporter declares she is glad
she isn't married. While we haven't
asked our wife, we feel reasonably
certain she is pleased to think her
husband isn't twins-living with one
Of us is plenty, thank you. :.
Presumably a number Of the win:
ming candidates are elated at the way
things turned out, and by the same
token it is a safe bet that some Of the
losers are satisfied to let the result
stand.
There are nearly nine thousand more
reasons why we should be thankful,
but we can't think Of them just now,
and, besides, the foreman says to cut
it out If we expect this paper to go
to press before next Saturday.

sion departments find much pleasure
in the new rooms for their work and
they are putting forth very strong
efforts to make this year profitable in
art along these lines as well as others.
A recital will be given soon after the
Christmas holidays.
Three lively games of basketball
were played on the local campus dur
ing the Thanksgiving holidays. On
Thursday two games were played, the
first was with Huntingdon. This was
played principally by our second team
which displayed good work through
out the game and won by score of
81 to IA. Immediately following this
game our first team defeated the Mi
Ian boys in a fast game, the result
being 81 to 5. Again Saturday one
of the snappiest games Of the season
was played when the home team de-
feated picked team from Jackson by
the score Of Al to 8. The best team
work of the season was put forth in
this game. With Hay, Stewart and
Montgomery as forwards, Undertake
as centre and Segerson and Pickens
as guards, we believe we have the
strongest team ever put out by the
Lexington school. The team goes to
Henderson next Saturday with the ex-
pectation Of adding one more victory
to the list.
One of the visitors was heard to
say: These people yell and hollow
more than any bunch | ever saw"
This is the way we show our spirit of
loyalty to the school.

UNCLE ALT AND THE GANG.

ff
The Tennessee Republican thinks
that staying away from the Nashville
gathering of Office-seekers Gov.elect
Taylor showed that he had acquired
wisdom with age. Still, the politician,
be he Governor or what-not, who af-
fronts the office-seekers of his party,
after he has got the office he himself
wanted, is foredoomed to some brad
and difficult shedding. The gang must
be kept in good humor.-Nashville
Banner.
No gang in his party or out of it
can hurt or interfere with Uncle All
Taylor, the governor-elect. Uncle
Aft thinks he is doing mighty we'll to
be elected Governor for one term; I'M
Gle Alf is not candidate for the Sem
ate; Uncle ALI don't want to be on
any boards-and will not want his
private secretary on any boards; I'm
Gle ALI, not the gang, will handle the
pie-so, on what grounds can any
body threaten to even annoy Uncle
All? They can not keep Uncle Alf
from occupying the gubernatorial
mansion, drawing his $500 per for
maintenance and $4,000 per for sal
airy and writing Tor getting his Demo-
cratic son, Ben, to do sol little notes
to the boys of the legislator telling
them what he thinks they ought to do
