MAPS TO BE REVISED
SHOWING OUR HIGHWAYS
An immediate revision of auto-
mobile road guides throughout the
Olney section has been promised by
two map publishing houses.
Present maps are out of date and
show roads in this territory as being
uniriiproved while they are, in fact,
graded highways. Revised blue prints
of highways have been furnished the
Mid-West Map Company of Aurora,
Mo.., makers of the maps now avail-
able at the Chamber of Commerce
office, and the Automobile Red
Book of San Ant.onio, publishers of
Texas maps exclusively. Both con-
cerns have replied that they would
revise the Texas maps immediately
to conform with the changes, both
as to condition and location of im-
proved roads.
The present road maps likely
would influence tourists to choose
routes which would take them
around Olney instead of through
here.
In Texas there are 36 acres of
land per inhabitant.

Somehow or other the Boss don’t
seem to be able to'write this column
here lately without a reference to
Frank Power, the Archer City bank-
er and after dinner speaker de luxe.
In an address here recently he made
reference to the fact that in John
Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, they
had managed to remove a chicken’s
heart and keep it pulsating for fif-
teen years. There is a drug store
cowboy in Olney by the name of
!>arlow Bryan, and he will admit
without argument that he can make
the average chicken’s heart palpi-
tate in less than fifteen minutes.
The Boss was deprived of one of
the long looked-for pleasures he an-
ticipated for the meeting of the
Northwest Texas Press association
in Wichita Falls last week. He didn’t
get to beat Ray Nichols playing
golf for the good and sufficient rea-
son that he couldn’t get Ray to play.
Said Ray agreed that the Boss was
the best and gave us the coveted
honor by default.
‘—o—
One of t;he outsanding entertain-
ment features of the Young County
Fair is to be a burro polo game be-
tween the Graham and Olney Rotary
clubs and this is scheduled to be
played Wednesday afternoon. Jack
Marcell has had a very difficult time
in choosing the four local Rotarians
who are to represent the Olney club
because he says he wants to be sure
and pick four fellows whom the
spectators will know from their
mounts. If it were an absolute cinch
that all four of them could ride,
then we would feel safe in saying
that the jassack was, the one that
was on the bottom—but you never
can tell.
The Boss accepted another invi-
j tation to eat this week. The Boss
i usually accepts such invitations, and
• if any of our readers are in doubt
: of that statement they might try
1 him out. This time the invitation
i came from Dr. Geo. B. Hamilton,
i and the occasion was a big barbecue
I which he spread for the visiting
■ physicians attending the Northwest
j Texas Medical association here this
week. It was given at the Hamilton
ranch, north of Jean, and was a
most pleasing occasion. Goat meat,
hog meat and the fatted calf were
barbecued in old-fashioned style and
served with old-fashioned hospitali-
ty and abundance. It was a spread
fit for a king, and the sixty or sev-
enty guests present enjoyed it most
thoroughly. There’s only one kind
of meat that the Boss likes better
than barbecue, and that’s stewed
1
chicken-
ed.
-that is if it’s not too stew-
We thought that this week would
see a return to these columns of a
department which we carried all last
year from our schools under the
heading “O-Hi Spots.” Maybe we
can persuade the English department
to get on the job next week. We
feel sure our readers will be glad
to welcome the school news back in
the paper.
The Boss was tendered the priv-
iledge of going on the air over the
new broadcast station, K.G.K.O., at
Wichita Falls Friday night of last
week, but the Boss’s boss is quite a
radio bug and she seems to be partial
to that particular station, so we did
not appear before the microphone—
we were afraid she might smell our
breath, and although it is commonly
understood and generally agreed that
this marriage proposition is a fair
transaction on the face of it, still
it is a fact that some parties to the
transaction sometimes carry con-
cealed weapons. Of course the Boss
has his wife under perfect control,
at least a part of the time—that
part when we agree to do exactly
like she wants us to.
old customs, but nqt to their cos-
tumes, which Dr. Engerrand says,
are the most beautiful known of
among the old world people.
