W. C. T. U. NEWS COLUUMN
BY THEIR OWN REPORTER
Our weekly meeting Dec. 31st
was called to order by the presi-
dent. Several members and six
guests were present despite the
■udden change in weather about
the time of opening. Mrs. Stratton
for the devotionals, repeated sev-
eral verses from different chapters
Of the scriptures from memory,
Which was most remarkable, and
repeated a fervent prayer. The
acngs, "Wind the Ribbons Round
the Nations" and "Some Glad Day"
v/ere sung with great fervor, with
Mrs. McQuiddy at the piano.
Mrs. Stratton, in her interesting
manner, gave reminiscences of the
Crusade days, of which she was a
part in her young womanhood. An
article entitled "Mothers' Influence
en Soldiers" was read by Mrs. J.j
T. Jackson. We were much pleas-
ed to have this beloved member
with us on this occasion. A humor-
ous reading was rendered by Miss
Marion Stone, who is home from
Linwood College for the holidays.
This young lady as a child was of-
ten in our programs, and the abil-
ity shown then increases with tae
years.
A vocal solo was rendered by
Miss Imogene Nolen, who is spe-
cializing in music this year at
Kidd-Key College. Instrumental
music by Marjorie Jones and Ha-
zel Wiggins was heard with pleas-
ure. Holiday greetings by Mrs.
J. F. Johnson and reference to
December 30, 1903, made up a pro-
gram of unusual interest. On the
above date our first local option
election was held after the organi-
zation of our union November 26,
1902. Many present at our meet-
ing of the 31st were present and
Worked on that day sixteen years
ago. Others who took a prominent
part in those never to be forgotten
days are widely scattered. May
the coming years be as pleasant as
those of the past, is our sincere
Vjsh.
The meeting was closed with
the benediction, but we lingered to
pa88 the greetings of the season
With each other and to receive a
White carnation from the huge
bouquet which graced the table
for this memorable occasion.
The members of the W. C. T. U.
tender their deepest sympathy to
our comrades who have been re-
cently bereft of relatives by the
fcrim hand of death: Mrs. Knol-
lenberg, whose mother, Mrs. Moul-
ton, of Marion, 111., was recently
Called to her heavenly home after
an illness of many months; and
the Mesdames Wright, Tom Jones,
and John Jones, in the loss of a
nephew, Mr. Jones of Guymon,
Gkla., who was takeni home after a
few days' illness.
"There are dear faces in the silent
air
With voiceless lips, yet with breath
of prayer
That we feel, but cannot hear."

Death of Walter Jones
The sad news of the death of
Walter J ones reached Spearman
early Wednesday morning. Walter
received a slight injury several
weeka ago and as it grew no better
he was taken to the Liberal hos-
pital for treatment. There it was
found that the trouble was blood
poisoning and an operation had to
be performed. It was impossible
to stop the deadly poison and he
passed away at one a. m. Tuesday,
December 30th. Interment was
made in the Liberal cemetery. Wal-
ter was the eldest son of Mr. and
Mrs. I) C. Jones, early day settlers
of Hansford County. They own a
fine ranch in the Palo Dtiro valley
and a home in Liberal. Walter
was a ine young fellow, well liked
by everyone, and the many friends
of the family thruout the south-
west will be grieved to learn of his
Untimely demise.—Spearman Re-
porter.
Mr. L. P. Loomis, editor, Canadian
Record, Canadian, Texas.
My Dear Sir:—Editors as well
as coal dealers, or any one else,
have a right to spend money occa-
sionally, so I am sending you here-
with check for $6.00 to cover sub-
scription. While you are spending
this I shall try to earn enough to
take up the check by the time it
gets back.
While I haven't lived in Canadi-
an for several years it is my home
town, and I take great pleasure in
the advancement it has made, and
of which the Record has kept me
posted all the time.
I recall that when a young fellow
1 painted the Record (office and
residence) when Mr. Deafibaugh
ran the paper. I did a good job,
too, because not only the buildings
but everyone in them got a certain
amount of paint.
When you see Frank Jamison
give him my best wishes. Alsq
my brother, John Bryan.
Yours very truly,
# J. H. Bryan,
Clifton, Arizona.

Route of the D-C-D Highway
Extended Thru to Galveston
The official route of the exten-
sion of the Dallas-Canadian-Den-
ver highway has been selected by
W. A. Palmer, secretary and gener-
al manager of the D-C-D highway,
E. Dick Slippers, manager of the
Dallas Automobile Club has been
informed.
This is the sortest route between
Dallas and Galveston and it cross-
es no rivers and a minimum of
creeks. Much work will be done,
however, before the route will be
specially advertised to tourists.
The extension of the route to
Galveston will mean increased
tourists thru this city, Mr. Slip-
pers said. Between 25,000 and 80,-
000 tourists were directed from
Denver to Dallas last year, accord-
ing to Mr. Slippers. The D-C-D
route connects at Denver with a
route direct to Seattle, giving a
highway from the Gulf to the Pa-
cific Coast.—Dallas News.
This recognition of the D-C-D
by the Dallas Automobile Club is
one of the most important steps
the highway has made in becoming
established in that section. The
importance of this recognition is
such that it means material ad-
vancement over all previous ef-
forts. The D-C-D has grown now-
even beyond the plans of the Cana-
dian Chamber of Commerce, which
instituted the organization.

Notice of R. C. Baird, Dentist
I have purchased the office of Dr.
J. R. Adair, dentist, in Canadian
and will be here next Mnnday to
start my practice.
R. C. Baird.
An Oakley man sent his wife an
envelope with her name on it from
Kansas City this,week. No letter
was enclosed and the envelope
was unsealed. — Oakley Graphic.
Which in itself is an alibi in favor
of the man from Oakley. Notwith-
standing several days in Kansas
City he was so-dry he couldn't even
lick an envelope.—Kansas Notes
Dr. R. C. Baird, dentist, who has
succeeded Dr. J. R. Adair, was
over from Miami today arranging
to open his practice next Monday.
He will move his family here just
as soon as he can find a house tc.
rent. Doctor Baird is well known
here, and he feels like he is coming
home. He is a graduate of the old
Canadian Academy, going from
this city to Dallas to take a dental
course, and afterwards locating in
Miami to practice. Canadian will
be clad to welcome Mr. and Mrs
Ba'*-d to our city.
Two bolts of percale were stolen
Monday night from a box of dry
goods in the rear of the B. M. B.
Mercantile Company. It is known
who stole the goods. If the parties
want to save themselves trouble
they will return the goods at once.

In accordance with the Ardmore
Convention, W. A. Palmer, secre-
tary and general manager of the
D-C-D Highway, has inspected
routes between Dallas and Galves-
ton and has selected the official
route of the D-C-D as follows:
Dallas to Wilmer,Ferris,Palmer
Ennis, Rice, Corsicana, Richland,
Streetman, Fairfield, Buffalo, Cen-
terville, Madisonville, Huntsville
New Waverlv, Willis, Conroe and
Houston to Galveston. This is the
shortest route beween Dallas and
Galveson and it crosses no rivers
and a minimum of creeks. The peo-
ple along the route pledged all the
cooperation asked, financial and
otherwise, and promised to build
and maintain the best possible
road with their means. There is a
great deal of work to be done on
this line before it will be specially
advertised to tourists. However,
there is much work in progress
now.
The extension of the D-C-D
Highway from Dallas to Galveston
means a great deal to the future of
this popular route and it will be
worth a great deal to the towns on
the line thru increased tourist
travel that will come as the years
go by.
In speaking of the matter Mr.
Palmer says: "The D-C-D Highway
bids fair to be one of the be'st and
most popular highways in the
Southwest, and it will be worth a
great deal more to the towns than
they are asked to give to its sup-
port. Our organization keeps up a
campaign for good roads and
spreads good roads propaganda.
We are helping people to help
themselves thru a united effort
from one end of our line to the
other. The present year will see
a very large tourist business over
the D-C-D."
