est game played on the local floor this
season the local Suburban league team
defeated the Campbellstown five on
the Boston floor Saturday night by the
score of 81 The Boston victory broke
the tie between these two teams for
the leadership of the league.
The game was unusually fast and
clean, both teams showing very good
craftsmanship. Much credit must be
given to Referee Logan for the excel
lent manner in which he handled the
game, keeping the game going at top
speed at al. periods of the game not
allowing it to slow up in the least.
Start With Rush.
Both teams started out with a rush
fighting desperately for the lead. when
Ballinger of the locals slipped one
through after four minutes of play.
Close guarding was the feature of the
game, neither team getting many open
shots at the basket. Boston kept her
two point lead and the half ended with
Bsoton in the lead 4-3.
Campbellstown started the second
half off with field goal giving them
the lead 81, but Boston soon went
back into the lead with another field
goal and were never headed from then
On. There were no individual stars
on either team, all the players playing
fine brand of basketball. Ballinger
was the scoring star of the evening,
making points while Harris was not
far behind making four points.

SPARTANBURC COPS
Whitewater GAME

SPARTANBURG, JAN 31.-In the
fastest, cleaneSt and hardest fought
game ever seen here. Spartanburg
high school handed Whitewater high
school 81 to SO defeat Saturday
night
Recently the two teams met and
Whitewater came out with a decisive
victory but the Spartanburg lineup,
strengthened by the return of Hawk
ms, presented more formidable
team.
Whitewater started with a rush and
soon piled up a five-point lead, but
Spartanburg with a burst of speed that
was bewildering went into the lead
and the first half ended % to % in
their favor.
The second half ended with each
team having "a points to it's credit. In
the five-minute overtime period, Gray
and Shoemake each caked a basket,
each team was fouled, Spartanburg
pitching and Whitewater missing, the
game ending 81 to So.
No Substitutions were made for eth
er team, each presenting its strongest
lineup. A fine spirit of friendly, but
earnest rivalry prevailed and made
the game a fight from the start to the
close.
The most enthusiastic crowd of the
season saw the game and everybody
was impressed by the fine spirit of
sportmanship displayed by both teams.
The teams were served supper in the
school building after the game. Sum-

ticed by so many ostensible heads of
families by prefacing each meal with
long and elaborately worded voicings

before him, the food for which other
members of the family hunger with a
passionate longing.
We fully agree with State Press in
his deduction that there is no reason

be a reasonable excuse for the deliv-
cry Of long-winded petitions to the
Throne Of Grace, delivered with sane

the week is the Christian Sabbath, IL
can be said that the most positive
assurance that if it is Christian II
should be observed az Christ would
have observed it, and the attitude OF
Christ's followers toward those who do
not observe it should be decided ex'
actly in harmony with the way Christ
talked and acted toward those who die
not follow or believe on him when he
was on earth as our example.
Christ said "If any man hear my
words and believe not, | judge him
not; for / came not to judge the world
but to save the world. He that re-
jecteth me and recieveth not my words
hath one that judgeth him; the word
that l have spoken the same shall
judge him in the last day"
But too many of the professed Aol-
lowers of the lowly Jesus, waiting till
the last day of some of their fellow
men to he judged is waiting altogether
too long, and these religious enthus-
lasts like the pharisees of old, want
the ones whom they account as Of
tenders 10 be judged now, and the
pains and penalties that God has re-
served to himself to give at the end
of the journey to be inflicted forth
with. All that Is not Christian. Just
rs truly, it is not American, either.

AN APPEAL TO EVE

We have been told that "Procras-
tina1on is the thief of time" In
fact that was one of the first les
sons we were taught when we at
tended the little log schoolhouse and
took our medicine out of the old
"blue-back speller."
We were told then by the good old
chap whose duty it was to teach the
young idea how TO shoot (something
besides spitballs and paper wads) and
who wore patched trousers and chewed
long green tobacco (because his salary
of $50 per month did not admit Of
more expensive raiment and luxur-
ies), that We could lock up from
any sore of thief except Procrastina-
ton, the thief of time
We are satisfied that this axiom is
as old as the eternal hills; that Adam
learned it when the world was young;
that Moses got lost in the Wilder
ness, there TO wander for forty long
and weary years, on account of it;
that pursuing its dilly dallying meth
DDS permitted the election of a Re
publican house Of representatives in
Oklahoma, and that the Republican
members of that house will permit it
TO keep them burden upon the tax
payers of the state, up at oklahoma
City doing nothing, until the chinch
bugs come into the April cornfields
and the boil weevil gets ready for
work on the early planting of cotton.
And We feel reasonably sure and
morally certain that Procrastinntion
is working, with hook-worm effect
upon all the good men and true who
want 10 be elected mayor of Ard
more, but who are lacking in the de-
termination and stamina and energy
10 come out and make the fight.
All Of which brings us to the milk
in the cocoanut and puts us in good
shape to unburden our mind and con-
science OF the burdens under which
the same labors.
After having carefully considered
the situation we have become firmly
convinced that Ardmore must have a
mayor, the same TO be elected at the
ensuing spring election. Further than
this, a careful diagnosis leads us to
the conclusion that Ardmore's Demo-
cratic party must have n candidate
for the office of mayor. the same TO
be named at the primary election,
soon.
Now, inas1nuch as the men of the
city. business men. professional men,
men who have the best interests of
Ardmore always on the tip of their
tongues, all seem afflicted with a
severe attack Of cold feet. every moth
er's son Of them seemingly afraid 10
beard the lion in its den and pull the
water supply out of the creeks and
streams tributary thereto, we feel
that it is up TO the women Of Ard

the day.

BLUE LAWS INTERFERE

To the Editor
make no war whatever on the
man who believes that Sunday should

tainly do object to his trying to COM
pei any one else TO observe the day.
When the Lords Day Alliance or
any other association announces that
they desire 10 get legislation that will
infect, invade the rights of the indi-
vidual conscience, and when they give
out that they desire a return to the

right 10 investigate the workings OF
that sort Of laws when they were en-
forced. and we also have n right to
expect that once started on such
line of legislation men will not stop

The Puritans did not know or prac-
tice even the simplest and plainest
principle OF religious liberty. All they
wanted or understood was to have
liberty TO do rs they themselves

hands on those who dared TO dissent
from their standards.

HOSPITAL VOTE A MISTAKE
q. w. Kayser, Republican,
Chickasha Starr

| W. W. haNS'i' isNPuDii~e'A'i
Chickasha starr
| The killing Of the soldiers hospital
bill by the votes OF the Republicans
of the lower house of the Oklahoma
| legislature was serious blunder
which will cost the party many votes
in the years to come.
This bill might not have been the
bill that the people OF Oklahoma want
but il that We're true the Republl-
cans of the lower house ought to
have had a substitute measure ready
to submit, which would have given
relief wanted by the legion men Of
the state.
The Republicans are in charge of the
lower house of the legislature. They
ought to frame bill for the relief of
the soldier boys and push that bill
through the house.
For them to sit and kill the only
constructive measure for the relief
OF the sick soldier boys of the state
without offering some substitute in its
place, was the sheerest folly.
Nor will any excuse be accepted that
a bill to give this relief will be offered
later in the session. The legislature Is
now on its seventh week ami the hos
pital bill should have been on its
way to final passage long aro. The
Republicans in ire lower house blum,
dered, and blundered at a time when
the whole state was watching them.
The bill for an 100000 hospital
might not be the measure wanted but
1t is the only bill offered so far to
give any relief for the soldier boys
and for the Republicans to kill 1t
without offering anything in its place
was political suicide.
The Republicans have not shown
the grasp of this situation that the
people of the state expected of them.
They still have time to retrieve the
error, but action must be taken at
once If the legion vote is not alien
ated from the Republican party. This
is looking at their position from a
political angle and not from the broad
humanitarian policy that demands that
our sick soldier boys should be taken
care Of and taken care Of at once.

AMBITIOUS GIRL MAY
FIND HER CHANCE IN
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

lWnat Glrl can Become
Il surely would like to work in a
library when | get old enough" re-
marked Irene one afternoon to a
friend. Il just love to be around
books"
If that's the case, then the library
is just the place for Irene. She has
picked an interesting vocation. 1t
is work that attracts much the same
sort of girl that teaching and So
cial service work does, but it is not
nearly so strenuous as teaching.
The hours are similar, however.
In public library work there are
about half dozen possible chances
for a girl to make good The low
est paid position of all is that OF
the assistant. A large number of
assistants are generally needed, and
usually young girls fill the posi-
tions. Then there is the librarian
in the small town, whose work is
very interesting and instructive.
Probably the next best position is
that of the branch librarian in the
large city. 1t usually entails great
deal of responsibility.
The work of the children's libra
rian, while it is most always inter
esting, requires a special kind of
talent-story-telling, for instance
and is a position that should be
filled by one who is really interest
ed in social service work.
There are two more possibilities,
higher than any of these others,
which are open to girls. One is the
position as head of department
such as the reference or the cata-
logue room--positions requiring 4
special technical ability-and the
other, the highest of all, is as chief
librarian of city. This person is
general supervisor of library work
throughout the town.
The demand for trained librarians
is ever increasing. The field is a
good one for a girl who is inter
ested in that sort of work.
More detailed information about
the various positions may be pro-
cured from the local librarian, who
will gladly talk them over with
YOU.
