AT THE GRAND this week one of the
best shows of the movie variety that has
been Offered there is now view.
Trumpet Island" is one of the pictures
that waited long time for some Topeka
manager to come alive to its worth. 1t is
of these being in the originality of its plot
and treatment. There have been plenty of
the man-and- woman on "a -deSert-isle plots,
but this one has several new wrinkles in
it. chief of them being that the woman
fails on the isle from plane and loses her
her rejected lover who is her companion
in the solitudes.
There's Just coolies of scenery and i'm
pressiOnistic photography all thru the film
and the scenes intended to be the woman's.

no other way than from plane actually
in n nose dive. OF course the story is en-
bellished considerably in order to bring out
the thrills and heart interest but that is
one thing one must expect i'll any sort OF
a play. In this one, however, the idea of
realism has been carried thru to a finish
and the viewer lives the story with the
shadows on the screen.
without a doubt the bonneville Troll
ley as a subject for cartoons is one of
the best carried by the current newspapers,
but the way those producers have put it
sitting near me- laughed all the way thru
the two reels shown last night. Gosh,
folks, this one is great.
lit is hardly possible for one to believe
that music could be improved so much in
so short a time, but that produced last

beyond the efforts offered last week, that
one would not know 1t as the same orches-
ira working. Maybe it isn't.

purchase nitrate of soda they were
told by county agent w. D. Wood that
they could effect saving of $1,000
per ton by pooling their orders and
buying in carload lots. Upon receipt
of this information the farmers came
not by ones and twos, but by the doz-
ems to join the purchasing pool and in
one weeks time over $50 tons were
ordered comparatively at net saving
of $500, thus illustrating that an
other way to reach a mans heart be-
sides through his stomach is through
his pocketbook.
An answer to the question, "Does
the pooling of farm products and SELL
ing in large quantities pay?" is found
in the experience of one Union coun-
ty farmer who had a small lot of elev-
en- bales of cotton to sell. A local buy
er offered him a price on this lot,
which was not accepted. Later on
that day the same lot of eleven bales
was sold to the same buyer in a pool
of 400 bales, the difference in the
price received in the pool and that
offered in the samll lot being so great
as to amount to the price of two
bales of cotton.
Through just such experiences as
these farmers in Union county and
throughout South Carolina are learn
ing that cooperation in the form of
buying and selling pools is an impor-
that phase If the modern farmers

GOFFMAN WANTS
SCHOOLS To PAY
FOR CITY WATER
Shift Burden Of Expense from Water
Consumer to Taxpayer, is His
Plan; 225,ooo Gallons Now
Being Donated.

After July /, 1922, the city school
board will pay for all water con.
sumed at the city school buildings
if the recommendation Mayor O.
Coffman says he will make to the
city council is approved by the city
dads.
Mayor Coffman announced this
morning that he will recommend
I 0 the council that the city watrf
department be asked to discontinue
the practice of donating water to the
city schools, thus shifting the ex-
pense from the water consumers to
the taxpayers.
Discussing the matter Mayor
Coffman said; Two hundred and
twenty-five thousand gallons of
water are donated to the city
schools every month. patrons who
pay money for their water must
make up for the loss incurred by
the donations. Why not shift this
burden from the water consumers
to tho taxpayers? There are many
taxpayers who don't use city water,
yet they enjoy the city's great
school facilities"
According to water department
workers, the department gets reve-
nue. from only 55 per cent Of the
water pumped at the plant. The bal
ance is consumed by the city
schools, the Oklahoma College for
Women, the city caurches, city hall,
fair grounds, parks, fire department
and for the sewer system.
Each church in the city is allowed
1000 gallons everr month without
charge. Twenty-Five thousand gal
Ions are donated to the st. Joseph
school and no charge is made for
water consumed at the Oklahoma
College for Women.
