Barometer of Public Opinion


Damascus is the name OF the Oldest city in
the world. and 1t liz name to conjure with
As you repeat 1t. there flows before you the
worlds history, for Damascus was old when
history born.
, As you listen you seem to hear the whirling
of tho centuries the alluring rise and shattering
fall of dynasties. the murmur Of innumerable
peoples and races, shimmering and fading away
into the mists OF unutterablc pasts.
There liz no let nor stay upon your imagna-
ton
Damascus the beautiful! The city OF the
two rivers In tho midst Of the desert and there
fore to endure forever.
1t Is related that when the prophet Maho-
met came within sight OF Damascus he turned
away and went back into the desert, saying that
no man could enter Paradise twice, and he
must choose the eternal paradise.
Darnascus! Damascus Damascus It's
name Il redoient with the perfume of the ages
and resonant Of eternal romance.
And yet--"Dam," Ass 'cuss.

Told at Oklahoma City

"Jim's here" was the word
whispered in the hotels occupied by
republicans Thursday morning early.
Arrival of the state chairman sent
the republican scouts Cluttering to
the various heaquarters where those
ambitious to be speaker have estab-
lished themselves. And there have
been many in the speakership con-
test.
Those who really established head
quarters and commenced real cam
paign to secure the coveted place
were Judge w. a. Craver OF
Bar.lesville. George Schwabe Of No
wata and Eli Admire of Oilton.
These three have really been active.
Buck Campbell Of Waukomis did
not establish headquarters but for a
man In middle life he has covered
not a little territory and conversed d
with as many members as any Of his
rivals.

School Notes

The school ispreparing choruses for the Commencement exercises. Mrs. Towers is the director.
 Mrs. Towers presented the school with a number of interest ing magazines.
 In answer to letters written to schools in Indiana several weeks ago, the fifth and sixth grades received letters last week. The letters were read for a reading lesson. The children are now writing to different parts of the world.
 The girls gym class worked on the tennis court last Thursday and succeeded in taking about one fourth of the sod off. On Sat- urday some of the High School boys and a few other people were working on the tennis court.
 The High School program and dance will be postponed until Friday, April 22, because of the illness of Miss Helen Hofstad, who has one of the principal parts in the play, Mechanical Jane. " The program will begin promptly at 8 p. m. sharp, The hall will be decorated by the high school boys in greens and the high School colors, red and white. James Schelp will have charge of the tickets at the door. Donald Sin clair is the property man for the play. Boys of the eighth grade will act as ushers. The girls of the high school and seventh and eighth grades will serve punch and cake at a nominal charge.
 The program will begin prompt ly at 8 o'clock, so every one is urged to be on time. This will allow longer time for dancing, which will commence immedi- ately after the program and will continue until one or one.thirty. Tickets are for sale by the school children.

Up Caesars Creek ,

Up Caesars Creek" was played to an audience that taxed the capacity of the gymnasium last Thursday night. The cast was excellent and every charac- ter was we'll taken. John, the leaderof the club who was thought countrifed Tn his ideas by most of the members after they had come into contact with the pat ronizing airs of the city boy, Dick De Smythe, but who wins out in the end, was played by Marion Myers and held the sympathy of the audience Alfred Royalty was Stuffy, the loyal friend who was not influenced by the rest. George Gunderson portrayed the supercilious De Smythe con- vincingly. Ed Loftus was Toby, the ardent admirer of De Smythe, who is eager to go to the city. Other clever chafacters, mem- bers of the club, were: Archer, who is host to De Smythe, Neil Grant; Skinner Grey, Harold ShangIe; Tom Merton, Vernon Myers; Harry Sanford. Ralph Davis, and Spider Kelley, the would-be musician of the crowd, Robert Edmunson. These boys furnished some amusing dialogue. John Coulter was Daffy Dan, a wandering minstrel who visits the camp on Caesars Creek at a time when the leadership of De Smvthe appears to be of doubt full quality.
 In the last act, a number of clever jokes were sprung and the pupils of Miss ReeS elCcutlOn class gave some excellent recita- tions. Those who recited were Carl Palmer, Helen Hodges, James Wheeler, Raymond Wheel CT, Loren Hits and Catherine Matheson. Margaret Mccormack who was also on the program was unable to appear owing to a se- were cold. Robert Edmunson, whose black-face makeup was a good disguise. read a story from Uncle Remus and Mrs. John I. Towers added to the excellence of the program with several in strumental and vocal solos. Ice cream and cake were served at the close of the play.
