will be held from the steps of the

Following the address, a tree

be carried out with someone yet to
be chosen making the dedication

Despite considerable talk in many
sections concerning inconveniences
caused by deferred school tax pay-
ments, there is a bit of encouraging'
news contained in a recent letter
sent out by State Superintendent S.
M. N. Man's. In discussing this
question the letter says in part:
“The prompt payment of the new
per capita apportionment will de-
pend to a small degree 'upon the
collection of deferred taxes on Octo-
ber 15th. The State is not depen-
dent upon the collection of ad va-
lorem taxes to pay the per capita
of $17.50. It must be remembered
that more than five dollars of this
money is received from the gasoline
tax; one dollar and fifty cents from
i the cigaret tax, almost one dollar
from the sulphur tax, another dollar
from the gross production tax and
other occupation taxes, almost one
dollar from poll tax which will be
better paid next year on account of

Hike In Prices
Causes Optimism
Over Large Area
There has been a decided change
in the public mind within the past
two weeks, and people are beginning
to believe that things have taken a
turn for better.
Two things have caused immediate
stimulation in business. The hike in
the price of wheat and oil has been
that occasion for much optimism in
Oklahoma and Texas, particularly.
But that is not all. There is a
general psychology of business that is
manifested in business circles. Peo-
ple have gone through the “sweat”
and have re-adjusted themselves and
their business to conditions. They
have found that ruin is not staring
this nation in the face and the
general psychology of business is
improved.
The complete restoration of pub-
lic confidence is the the first thing
that will have to happen before
times become anything like normal.
The trend is in that direction.
Within Olney territory, there
seems to be a different outlook; oil

meeting for Tuesday, November the
10th. All teachers of this district
including Orth are urged to attend.
These meetings are so planned that
mean a great deal.
The general theme for the even-
ing’s discussion is, “Assembly and
Home Room.” The following teach-
ers have been assigned topics indi-
cated: Miss Virginia Myers, “Ob-
jects of Home Room.” M. L. Lans-
ford, “Duties of Home Room Spon-
sors.” H. A. McCarty, “Objectives
of Assembly.” Aside from the above,
each teacher is requested to bring
tice Day program will be carried
out at the High School building on
the morning of November the 11th.
It is his belief that school children
should be taught to observe this day
in a fitting manner and for that
reason all children will report for
the morning session. Following the
program a half-holiday will be given.
In the afternoon of the same day
at 2:30 the Cubs will meet Seymour
in a battle royal on the field of
sport.
In this same connection, it might
be mentioned that two holidays will
of the recent months. Against these
depressing things, Mr. Wolverton
pointed out some very encouraging
trends of the present hour and in
so doing laid a foundation for rather
optimistic hope.
His talk was well organized,
broad in scope and comprehensive
in truth and facts. Mr. Wolverton
read a very interesting clipping from
a paper in 1878 which read like
present-day pessimistic talk. It was
to emphasize the fact that business
uncertainty has held forth in the
past; has given way to an area of
prosperity just like the present one
is doing now and that restored con-
fidence, business activity and gen-
eral prosperity will again be ours
to enjoy.
C. V. Morgan gave a short classi-
fication talk in which he cited fig-
ures to show the large sums of
money that are annually spent
furnishing the American home.

A Good Talk Heard
In Assembly Tuesday
The writer was lucky enough Tues-
day to be at the High School build-
ing at assembly hour and fortunate
enough to have an invitation to sit
I in at the meeting.
Superintendent Shulkey was on
the program at that hour and had
been assigned the subject of Sports-
manship. From this topic Mr. Shul-
key made a most practical and
timely talk to the body of students.
He defined very clearly the mean-
ing of both a good sport and sports-
manship, and in doing- so drove home
some mighty good suggestions to the
student body.
After hearing the talk, the writer
understood more clearly the fine
spirit that prevails at the High
School. The superintendent himself
is a fine example of a good, clean
and understanding spox-t who prac-
tices the right kind of sportmanship.
He really teaches it by example—

The Best Route To
Crowell From Olney
Some who contemplate making the
trip to Crowell might be interested
to know the best route of travel be-
tween the two points. The nearest
route is from Olney to Seymour, to
Benjamin on to Crowell. Going this
route pavement will be had to Ben-
jamin, a distance of 67 miles. From
Benjamin to Crowell, a distance of
35 miles, a good dirt road is to
be had.
Should it rain and drivei's wish to
keep on pavement, the best route is
via Wichita Falls, Vernon and to
Crowell. It is 127 miles distance
this route.
