all thrown together may give you
an idea of how and where this
column Is coming to Herald readers
this week By now wo fully
expected to have a first class

VARIETY
The trip out got off to a grand
start at midnight last Wednesday
by our having to run two blocks
to catch a bus That put us in a
good humor for the rest of the
trip home especially after our
sleeping score for the evening
stood at O when the sun peeped
ftH over Red Rlvcr Between listening
Vi ° a latJy on the bus tell of her
extensive travel in the East and
a college student explain that most
M ofhls riding was via a less dig
gggg nilied route we kept fairly well
entertained until morning The
grand finale came shortly after
sunup when 10 boys bound for
Fort Sill and the army loaded on
at Wichita Falls Their maneuvers
for Uncle Sam were made less
difficult because of the practice
they enjoyed on the bus There
wasnt an inch of that bus they
J didnt favor with an extensive ex
ploration before reaching the get
ting off place

ItAhas been interesting listening
to the trend of talk among the
People of different stales Okla
dlv ghomans are overwhelmingly for
compulsory military training It
is also generally conceded that the
fall election will witness another

Roosevelt in as big a fashion as
the Literary Digest special four
years ago It is also reliablywhis

fallen nation was getting a little
hard up for food The German

Volunteored some of their horses
