What promises to bo one of the
grentest basket ball seasons in the
history of S. T. C. started Monday.
The prospects are for a team that can
not be defeated. Coach Hatley is one
of the best basket ball coaches in the
Southwest and will whip his men
rapidly in shape for the season.
Coach Hatley developed a winning
team at Caney. Oklahoma for a high
school with less than forty students.
This team won the Southeastern dis
trict championship and represented
this district at the state meet, losing
to Tulsa the state champions. Last
year he took charge of the Lindale,
Texas high school basket ball team
and put out a team that never lost a
game, winning the state championship
from ElPaso, which team had not lost
a game in eight years. A man with
a record like that cannot fail to de
velop in Southeastern a winning
team.
A schedule has been arranged
which will Include the important
colleges of Oklahoma, Texas and
Arkansas.

NEW OKLAHOMA RECORD
IN ISUTTERFAT PRODUCTION!
Oklahoma's dairy production will be
boosted seveial notices when official
figures are in on a year's test com
pleted Thanksgiving day by Rosa
Segis Johanna, a Holstein cow just
imported from Wisconsin by the A.
and M. College.
Unofficial figures on the years i
test show n production or z.i,wm
pounds of milk and 11,100 pounds of
butterfat. The state's former record,
held by impress Wayne Gerben, a
Holstein bought by the College last
summer, was 20,038.3 pounds of milk
and 8884.2 pounds of butterfat.'
The new record holder arrived at
the College only a few days before
her year's test was completed. She
is one of two Holsteins bought by the
College from John Zoberlin, a Ply
mouth. Wis., dairy farmer. Her pur
chase price was $2,700. K. S. P. Wal
ker Aggie, the other cow, also com
pleted a years test Thanksgiving
day. establishing a butterfat record
greater than that of Empress Wayne
Gerben but slightly lower than the
record of Rosa Segis Johanna. The
three cows, with King Korndyke
Echo Oakland, a young buyy pur
chased last year from Carnation
stock farms Oconomowac, Wis., from
the foundation stock for the building
of n new Holstein stock at A. & M.
(liy Dr. A. II. Lewis. State Health
Commissioner).
Theie is nn old adage which says
"An apple a day will keep the doc
tor away."
A great many people cat very lit
tle or no fruit, looking on it as lux
uiy. There are many good leasons
why we should cat fiuit daily. All
fmits contain ceitain salts of or
ganic acids, which have a more or
le-s stimulating action on the kid
neys, and some, buch as pears, figs
and pi lines, have a laxative effect.
Ft nit nNo furnishes n certain indi
gestible or roughage, which tends to
letain water in the intestines and
thus helps to regulate the bowels.
Children's physiciunM lecommend
that all babies of the age of six
months should be given small
amounts of mild fruit juice, or to
mato juice daily. This is particu
laily necessary in the case of infants
fed on cow's milk, or other piepared
milk foods. Unless one of these
juiies is given, a disease known ns
"Scutvey" may develop. The mild
form of this disease often passes'
uniecogni7ed for a time, being noted
only in the blowing up of the growth
of the child later on.
Bananas are a fresh fruit nearly
always attainable, high in food val
ue, low in price and easy to prepare.
Digestive difficulties may possibly
arise from eating them too green, too
fast, or too many at a time. Un
ripe bananas baked in the skin may
take the place of a vegetable in a
meal.
A great deal can be said and
should be said in favor of the use
of dried fruits. These are often
badly cooked and for that reason are
not liked, or as commonly used as
they should be. Cook very slowly
for a long time. No sugar should
be added during cooking, but when
thoroughly done should be moderate
ly sweetened. The addition of a few
slices of lemon when cooking usual
ly gives dried fruit nn agreeable
flavor.
People as a rule eat too little fruit
and they will find their general
health greatly benefited if they will
add some kind of fresh or dried fruit
to their daily ration.
CAR TURNS OVER nUT NO ONE

John Covvnn and wife and two

who didn't see the culvert. The bows

car was not badly damaged.

'Protecting Our
Earnings
The object of all business men farmers, merchants and
others is to earn money and make a profit on their in
vestment. The test of a real business man, is that of making money
ligitimately and then properly conserving it. Numerous
bankruptcies have been caused by the inability of men to
properly conserve their money once it is earned.
Today more than ever before are business men learning
to place their earnings in investments of known safety
where they will further realize on them.
No better or safer place to guard ones savings and earn
ings can be had than the TIME DEPOSIT. Absolutely
safe a "nest egg" when you need it.
