On Saturday work was begun on the Southwestern Lumber company's large retail lumber yard which is to be situated just north of the Hotel Jennings. In an inter view with Manager J. W.

The Southwestern Lumber company owns mills and yards all over the country and are now starting this work in Oklahoma. The mill which will supply the Joseph yard is at En terprise.

Ixindon, Dec. LTi. (United Tress by Mail.) The cataclysm of a world war has forced England to apply real American methods to her govommon. Lloyd George's reorganized cabinet is but a glorified American city council under a commission form of govern ment. England, lis a nation, was faced with exactly the same problems that confronted hundreds of American ci ties before the advent of the Galves ton and Pes Moines plans for admin istering municipal affairs. Great Britain bad a council that was un wiehlly; its decisions were taken aft er ridiculously long debates and tho mistakes it made could not be traced to any responsible source. Such was the condit ion of affairs in told of the lirst meeting be- tween Mr. Archbold and John J ? D. Rockefeller. S ! It was about the year 1S72 J that Archbold met Rockefeller. t s Describing this meeting, Mr. ?' Rockefeller has said: "One day s there was a gathering of men s s somewhere near the oil regions ?

The month old child of Lum Marr died on Wednesday, January 3. The body was buried in Enterprise. The records of Joseph and vicinity (which include about 2500 people) show that only seven adults were bur icd in 1916. This is quite a decrease as 30 persons were buried in 1915. Good water and air certainly are a great blessing. Albert Walker, son of W. L. Walk er, returned home recently from a va cation trip in Idaho, At the Tuesday meeting of the Jo seph city council $206 was allowed for bills presented and several re quests were considered. A very delightful party was held Monday at the home of Arthur Dod son in honor of tho Miller brothers who are visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Grover Swaggert. The friends and relatives of these young men enjoyed a bounteous repast which was followed by a social evening. . A party was held Friday evening at the home of Mr.jand Mrs. F. F. Mc Cully. This party was the result of a contest between two classes in the Methodist Sundny school. Game?, songs and jokes preceded an excellent lunch prepared by Mrs. McCully, then toasts were made and all returned home tired but happy.
