Trade Excursion Notes

Even the Ministerial Alliance was
represented on the Trade Excursion.
DIR. Ashley Chappell remaining
throughout the trip TO Sherman, from
which point he was compelled to
leave the crowd and run on in to
Ardmore. Friday night. At several
stops DR.. Chappell delivered the mea-
sage of the boosters, urging the citi
Zens OF the various towns to visit the
Automotivc Show and Livestock Show
and come with their pockets full OF
spending money. About the only
place along the route in which he
failed to appear was at the dance at
sulphur. and for that his alibi was
uninpe ,ar having got
ten into trouble ut Davis and It being
necessary for him TO 80 book to help
get It s'sag.
Mrs. Witt knows we'll how 10 man.
age a husband. At her home at Sui
phur she had prepared chicken din
ner, the quality and quantity being
such that hubby had no desire after
wards to pay attention to the chickens
attending the dance.
The Chamber Of Commerce band
was the life of the trip. Under the
direction OF Rudy Bell, the boys were
ready at all times to rouse the popu-
lace with real music and they never
failed to draw a crowd. Dust caked,
wind chapped lips were a part of the
game with them, and at the windup
Saturday afternoon they handled the
parade in Ardmore with the same
step Lively" marches they had been
producing throughout the journey. In
cidentaliy the orchestra at Sulphur
was made up from the band personnel
and kept the crowd stepping lively
for three hours on the excellent floor
at the Artesian.
The Ardmore girls at Kidd-Key Col
lege turned out in bunch to well
come the Step Lively crowd.
The undertaken got wise the Sec
ond day, when the speed fever began
working. and stayed in the rear to
pick up any struggling business that
might come his way. Fortunately
his services were unnecessary.

Dan Murphy and Mrs. Dan almost
went back on their first love when
they Joined the crowd at the Binkley
Friday evening. We thought for q

Arlmore but they finally managed t.
say goodbye.
Doc Harlow took pictures OF the
boosters all along the trip.
John w. Simpkins, county agent

when he stepped from his car in

When H Il. Steele was questioned
about the big dent in his front fender
he mildly replied, Just bumped one

Frank Sherwood, better known in
Gainesville as "Honk," was the center
of attraction when we made our de-

Sudden hot weather has caused the
heads Of the Babies Hospital, Seventh

has been large, and It was thought that

There is a three week -old baby II

Criminal Court No. 1 as member of

Miss HopkinsQn, an earnest, attrac-
tive woman Of about twenty eight, has
been on jury service for a week, and
during that time has sat in several
cases.
Miss Hopkinson was little inclined to
talk about her experiences as jury
woman. although she admitted being
much interested in the work, which is
hot unrelated to the sociological inter-
tsts to which she is devoting her life.
active in war work, and since then has
devoted oil her time to charitable and
social problems.
The money she will earn on jury
duty-about $45-will be devoted to n

interest for some time.
