April SALES DAY IS BEST EvER GOOD SHOWING on

April Sales Day was the biggest
and altogether the most successful
one yet held in Monet. A visit to our
many stores on Monday proved that
all of them were offering real bar
gains Of unusual value and were re-
ceiving their share of the trade.
With the April Sales sheet the
Commercial Club and the business
men of the city adopted consolid-
ated plan of advertising the various
bargains for Sales Day. The spaces
were the same size and in that way
more merchants could obtain space in
the sheet in which to advertise their
specials. Perhaps for that reason
there were more real bargains offered
and more merchants entered upon the
plan to make Monet the trading cen
ter Of all the nearby towns and
country.
A glance over the Sales Day bar
gains was enough to attract people
from all the district and there were
hundreds of them here to take advan-
tage of the one day sale.
The Sales Day continues to gain in
popularity and the farmers look for
ward to it, as we'll as the people re-
siding in town.

That So Many Monett People Fail To
Recognize Kidney Weakness.
Are you bad back victim?
Suffer twinges; headaches, dizzy

Go to bed tired-get up tired?
It's surprising how few suspect the
kidneys.

from rheumatic pains. My joints
ached and my muscles became knot

which caused me a lot of trouble. I
used Doan's Kidney Pills and they
dissolved the gravel and their con-

THIRD WEEK OF SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONTEST

This week has been very unfavor-
able for a county wide contest because
of the rain and mud at the critical
time. Franklin County has been in
the lead but this has given her a
chance to get so far ahead that there
is little hope of catching up. How
ever we can be good losers. This is
our first attempt and it has been
profitable experience for US.
The interest taken in the campaign
by those who are participating is en-
couraging. They are the ones who
will receive the greatest good from
the efforts put forth.
The credits for the week are:
Franklin, 22,O21; Barry, 12,1O8. This
makes total for Franklin County Of
52,653; Barry, 36,O58.

ssoo.ooo on FIRE AN sApuLpA
$I,OOO,OOO Plant Threatened as Oil
Continues to Burn During Night.

Sapulpa, April 4.-Fire which
caused an estimated damage to the
Sapulpa Refining company of more
than 100000 halted train service over
the st. Louis G. San Francisco rail-
road between Sapulpa and Oklahoma
City and Texas points and destroyed
all wire communication with Tulsa,
was still burning fiercely last night
around three 55,0O0Ibarrel capacity
crude oil storage tanks at the com
pany's plant mile from the city.
Early last night the third tank was
threatening to boil over, despite eff
forts of corps of regular and volun-
teer firemen to subdue the flames and
fears that the entire refinery, valued
at more than $1,000,000, would be de-
stroyed should this occur were ex-
pressed by company officials. Nine
large gasoline tanks are but short
distance from the inferno of blazing
liquid, and if they, too, become ig-
nited, officials said, it probably will
cause total destruction of the plant.
Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon the second tank boiled over,
sending burning oil over the Frisco
tracks and the Sapulpa-Tulsa high
way The heat from the blazing crude
oil was so intense that railroad ties
were bent and twisted, and it was not
until last night that the flames, which
had swept over several acres had been
controlled sufficiently to permit tenn
porary repair of the tracks. Auto
mobile traffic was halted during the
day by the flames, which covered the
roadway for several hundred yards. |
At 6 o'clock last night the first
train of the day over the Frisco pass
ed over the blazing tracks to Tulsa,
Whether service can be maintained,
railroad men said, depended upon
whether the third tank gets beyond
control
Early last night lnemen had failed
in their efforts to repair telephone
lines connecting Sapulpa with the
northeast, which were destroyed early
in the day. I,
The fire began late Sunday after
noon when one of the tanks was
struck by lightning. The oil in the !
.ank boiled over just after daylight ,
md spread the burning liquid to the !
wo nearby tanks, developing into one ,
# the most spectacular conflagra-
ions ever witnessed.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
The Spelling Contest.

The two best spoilers from each
fourth, fifth and sixth grade in the
city met for the final test at nine
o'clock at the high school. The best
spoilers in the system are for the
fourth grade-Fred Corl, Plymouth
Veva Seward, Forest Park; NADIA
Ragsdae, Central All tied for first
place by not making a mistake. John
Davis, of Plymouth, who missed but
one word, is second. The words were
selected from the text studied by the
students.
For the fifth and sixth grades, the
words were given from the Ayres
spelling list. The following fifth
grade pupils did not miss any of these
words;--Paul Johnson, Forest Park;
Mary Buchanan, Central; Stanford
Boucher, Plymouth, and Frank Davis,
Forest Park.
These sixth grade pupils made per-
feet records on the same list:-Omah
Dickinson, Forest Park; Alta Scott,
Forest Park; Helen f. Robinson, Ply
mouth. A list of ten words was taken
added to the Ayres list. When the
averages were reached Frank Davis
was the best fifth grade speller and
Stanford Boucher, second best. Alta
Scott was proclaimed the second best
sixth grade speler and Helen E.
Robinson, second.
The words, especially those given
to the fourth grade, were very diff
ficult and it was surprise that so
many made perfect record. Each
Of the twenty-four people who were
IN the contest received certificate of
honor in spelling. This certificate
greatly resembles diploma and
bears the signature of the teacher
and superintendent of schools. Much
interest has been aroused because
here were elimination contests in the
several grades to see who shouldrepr
,ent the rest of the students. Misses
Burgess, Haverstick, Pitts and Mrs.
Gngleman accompanied the spoilers to
he high school.
The following received honor GER
ificates:

things were reversed. The chocolate
came to the customer. 1t met him in
the subway, on the elevated, in thea
ter Hobbies, on every street corner, in
short it was next to impossible to walk
a block without being offered choco-
late at a bargain. It was inevitable
that the psychology of the situation
succeeded in selling the sweetmeat.
New York surrendered. Its millions
of people bought the chocolate in 5
and 10 cent lots. The bank got out
with little if any loss and employment
had been given for a brief period TO
many people.
Instances could be multiplied. A
great Chicago bank became an ex-
porter of food products. SO much of
this sort of security came into its pos
session. 1t sent great shiploads of
goods abroad. Other banks became
auctioneers.
Those times are passed. The gov
eminent figures show that liquidation
the paying up of loans-is practical
ly complete and the banks are in. per-
haps a stronger position than ever be-
fore in their history. But thousands
of bankers have learned that banking
is not always a mahogany desk and
marble counter job. Some bankers
get into the fur business whether they
want to or not.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a girl
in my teens and for the first time in
my life 1 have seen the only man 1
could ever love. I met him on a
picnic and am in great distress for
fear he will not return my affection.
Will you please tell me how I can
arrange so that I can sec him and
gain his affection at the same time?
DOLEFUL ME.
You are not in love with a man;
you are in love with an ideal. 1t
would be impossible to know the
man after seeing him once. and
therefore you are believing him to
have lovable qualities which are a
creation of your mind instead of part
of his character To believe your
self hopelessly in love would be fool
ish. Try to put the man out of your
mind.
1 cannot suggest a way to see
more of him and gain his affection.
If he is attra cted to you as you are
to him, no effort on your part will
be necessary. I am quite a fatalist
in some respects and I firmly be-
lieve in the law of attractions. If
the man is meant for you, you will
meet again no matter how impos-
sible it may seem at present.
