In some of the large city papers We
note sensational reductions in the re-
tail prices of dry goods, clothing and
other articles of daily use.
This would indicate that some peo
pie have been doing some high prof.
teering in the past, but are forced to
get down to earth again in order to
break the buying strike that has play
ed havoc with the big city retail bu-
siness.
You do not hear of these stupendous
drops in the country stores, and for
the best of all reasons.

Since the downward trend commenc-

When you compare the reductions

People often wonder why young
men are not marrying in greater num-
bers. But there is no occasion for
Iwonderment. The answer is simple.
The spirit of the times is placing a
greater check upon matrimony than all
other agencies combined.
The young man who can not give his
best girl high rolling time is not
popular He is out of luck. He is
considered behind the times at best,
and often is looked upon as tightwad.
If he does not care to be placed in
this category he must make the money
fly, and as long as he continues to do
that he finds it difficult to accumulate

ODD FELLOWS
ANNIVERSARY
A GREAT EVENT

Observance Of Anniversary day by
the Odd Fellows Thursday night was
fittingly portrayed to an audience which
filled the hall. Past Grand Master l. X.
Mason was master of ceremonies and
made a splendid talk. The anniversary
ceremony as promulgated by the sov-
erelgn grand lodge was carried out in
its entirety, setting forth the birth Of
the order in the United States Fig
ures showing the remarkable growth of
the order were plainly set forth as were
the beneficial and fraternal features.
Following this. brief talks were made
by Mrs. j. W. Stoddard, noble grand
of the Rebekahs, and by the deputy
president, Miss Gertrude Helms. Novel
recitations by little Misses Bernice and
Marie Weeks and some excellent piano
and violin renditions by Misses Josse-
line Ormsby, Louise Brown and Pearl
Guyton brought the social features to
close. Light refreshments were served
and all admitted the occasion was a
most happy, fraternal get.together
event.

destructive agents in mechanics.
You have only to ride in the best four that

The Four must fight" to get under way.

Best of all it is built as all Paige products built

SOUTHERN TOWNS
MAY FORM LEAGUE

TISHOMINGO, Okla.-At a meeting
of baseball fans here this week it was
decided to organize a good strong ball
team here and form u circuit composed
of the cities of Ada, sulphur, Coal-
gate, Atoka, Madill and Kingston. The
matter will be taken up with the cities
mentioned above, a meeting called TO
convene here and a schedule arranged.
At least three games will be played
in each city and about three trips made
to each town.
Our people are very enthusiastic
over baseball at the present time and
will support a good team. Boost the
boys and we will have a winning team
in Tishomingo.

The New Jewett Light Six is now on
exhibition in our show rooms.
To you, and everyone who is interested
in motor cars, we extend a very cordial
invitation to see this car and arrange for
demonstration.
And we do not hesitate to say in advance
that you are going to be surprised, delighted
and not little mystfied
You are going to be surprised because the
Jewett is all that you have imagined-and
great deal more.
You are going to be delighted because it
is the very car that you have hoped for
and waited for-these many years.
You. are going to be mystifed because you
will, for the first time, view fine quality six
at the price of four.
To produce this car and sell it for s1065,
f. o. b. Detroit has required years of study
and all the ingenuity and resources of the
Paige Engineering staff.
Itwouldha been simple matter to COM
promise on four cylinder construction and
thus achieve a popular price. But mere price
was not the aim and the Four can no longer
be considered in terms of fine engineering.
This is the day of six cylinders because the
six is an inherently balanced mechanism.
The natural balance and overlapping power
impulses mean, smooth, even, vibration
less riding qualities.
These, in turn, mean maximum economy

 The bulletin was read by the sec retary. and then we had program. Miss Mary Brown Buckshaw, teach er. played several patriotic songs while we sang. Everyone helped us make great noise. Then a few es- says were read They were about the prospects of the coming year. the cabin, and other subjects of interest To the troop.
 We have engaged in contest with Troop 51 for points in the efficiency contest. The loser gives the winner weiner roast. Both troops are sure of victory Troop 57 was visiting us for the night. Herbert Garter, presi- dent. gave us a short talk on scout ing.
 Miss Mignon Hall of The Age-Her- aid was another visitor. She thanked IFS for cooperation in making the page success, and invited contri- buttons.
 Two girls from Troop 4. Girl scouts, visited us. Miss June Ever hart, president of the troop. talked about the Girl Scouts and their work. Troop 4 Is the livest troop in the dis trict.

 The Vance troop, or Troop ., Bes- semer Boy Scouts, received their charter last Friday evening, and each member was given q membership card. which entities him to a place in the national organization. This troop has been called the baby troop of the city, not because they are not the manifest of young fellows, but be- cause their troop was the youngest in point of organization.
 Troop No. , is as fine a bunch of boys that ever assemblies together every Friday evening in their hall at the rear of the Schuyler Harris residence on Clarendon avenue, and they have scout master that is in- terested in them and gives great deal of his time to outings and gath orings-J. R. Vance. To be a good scout master one must love boys and all of the boys in town know just how much Mr. Bob" Vance does love "the fellows"
 It was this troop that brought in the beautiful community Christmas tree, and with other troops work ed so hard doing errands as to make the holding of the tree such a success.
 There are many things that impress che on a visit to a scout meeting, one of the first being their respect for elders and superiors; respect for the flag and any ss mbol of govern ment; their ability to conduct their meetings in a business-like manner anl to stand on their feet and express their ideas; their orderliness and their wonderful boyish spirit.
 At the meeting last Friday even- ing two boys were given their ten derfoot examinations, which included

 And they shall stand at Duty's post, heads up and shoulders square Prepared for all the days commands and self-reliant there They shall have learned the ways Of

 i AAd have a knowledge of the trees
 that wasn't gained from books; They shall know honor as a real, SUD

IN APPRECIATION

The troop appreciates the work of the leaders for the members in the year of 1921. They have all tried to boost scouting to a nFw high plane and we can truthfully say they have met with success. Mere words will not illustrate the great work of Mir. White. If we were in Alaska we would marvel if we heard the news of his work. But as it is we don't quite grasp the magnitude of his work. But for his business, MT. White would undoubtedly be the new scout executive.
 Then take J. B. Hill. He is a very good leader, is always with the boys, take keen interest in the work, does his part and more. and puts his heart in the scout movement.
 Next is Warrick Saunders, the new assistant. He is a bird, all right. Remember, he is the fellow who made $S5 for the troop in one night when he defended his R. O. T. c. title against Battling Pike on August 12,

much more frequently than they could to Camp Andrews. They have been given a bunch of good tin to put on their roor. and will not be lonesome at their cabin because Troop 29. which is reorganizing, is hard at work putting up a cabin just opposite their own.
 Among other visitors to the meet ing was Malcolm McPhail, assistant scout master of Troop 29.
 Must Be Efficient
 Believe us, it was impressed upon those boys that when their parents are present next Friday night every boy must be able to tie any one of the l4 required scout knots if called upon.
 When the bunehs after adjourn meN, got down to Troop 52's meet ing, they were received with great enthusiasm by Scout Master William l.. White, his assistant, J. B. Hill, President Horace MacKnight, and the troop as whole. The scouts cheered for scouting, for the visitors in turn for the boys of 57-and were partic- uIarly enthusiastic over Miss Mary Brown Buckshaw, who made them a little speech, as did Miss Everhart The yell that wound up the evening was:
 Digger, digger hoe potato!
 Half past alligator
 Ram, ram, bully boy!
 Chickawah dah!
 Scouting, scouting,
 Rah, rah rah!
