MOTOR CAR
This car has been an important factor in
establishing the present day tendency to
drive all winter.
The ciose fitting curtains provide ample
protection against wind and cold. The
safety-tread cord tires minimize skidding
and reduce tire trouble to its simplest terms.
And every owner appreciates the remark

Sacred Anthems by the big Chorus
Choir, Christmas songs by the Bible
School, Readings and exercises. To

The special numbers by the Chorus

UNION WEEK OF PRAYER
WHEAT GROWERS' ASSN
PAYS OUT $300,000
Approximately $300,000 in checks
were mailed out of Enid to members
of the Oklahoma and Texas Wheat
Growers' Association, according to
John Manley, secretary of the Okla
homa organization.
Of this amount over $250,000 went
to members in Oklahoma and the re
mainder to Texas. This is a future
payment on all wheat delivered prior
to Ocbtober 1, paid on basis No. 1 at
70 cents hard and soft wheat This
brings the total payment at the pres
ent time to 70 cents a bushel. Addi
tional payments will be made from
time to time as the wheat is sold
and money accumulated with which to
make the payments. The years aver
age will be well over the dollar mark
and show the members a profit over
the old method, association officials
declare.
"One-quarter of a million dollars
released at the same time to our mem
bers will naturally liven up business
in the different communities. There
will be no other payments, and then
the final payment when the pool is
closed and the season average price
ascertaind" Manley stated. "The ac
counting department has done this
work- at no additional expense, which
shows that we are practicing economy
in the business of the association.
This payment certainly will be a blow
to our enemies it will prove to the
world that the stuff they have been
telling is nothing more than propa
ganda." Guymon Herald.

EPISCOPAL SERVICES
County Assessor F. C. Mathews
reports this afternoon that he is still
unable to prepare the tax rolls for
Texas county .owing to. the conflict
ing understandings of the state and
county offcials. When County Judge
Frittz was in Oklahoma City two
weeks ago to aid in adjusting the mat
ter, State Auditor Frank Carter
authorized him to state that the Rock
Island valuations would be reduced
twelve per cent. When they were
certified in laBt week, the reduction
amounted to nineteen and two-tenths
per cent on their valuations. The
Texas county officials are protesting
against any such reduction, which is
contrary to their understanding and
there seems to be some question
about the matter in the state audit
or's of fee, as a message ' from Mr.
Carter received this afternoon re
quests Mr. Hathews to await further
instructions.
The Rock Island valuation in Texas
County in 1910 was $2574,450 and
in 1921 $2,578 909. If the nineteen
and two-tenths per cent reduction was
allowed this year it would bring thier
valuation down to $2,080,238 or
$488212 less than in 1910 and $492,
671 less than they were last year.
Sinve 1910 the vauations of Texas
county farms have been incerased
more than fifty per cent. It would
seem that the ralroads are getting
off mighty easy jrbmparatively.

Don't forget that the Chrsitmas spirit is in the
giver and not the gift. Costly gifts may embar
rass you financially. Why not teach the children
to save by putting your earnings in the Bank and
thus set an example for them to follow? Open a
savings account for them and see how enthusiastic
they will be with it. THIS BANK takes pleasure
in wishing ALL a Merry Christmas and
Our Gift to this Community
is the opportunity of doing bsuiness wih a strong
