Nothing very serious the matter—don t get excited
but your HELP is needed.
Every man, every woman and every child can HELP.
This town needs your 11 EI.P.
It is a good town, but every good citizen wants to sen
it become a better town. But unless the good citizens
stand by the town, lend a hand, put a shoulder to the
wheel or get in front
and pull, without balk-
ing, there won't be any
noticeable progress.
Towns are not J'op-
eies. Xo town '"just
grows." It's the peo-
ple in a town and
around it who make it
grow hv feeding it the
right sort of diet.
A pig in a polie
won't get fat. Nor will
a town with its light
hidden under a bushel
attract attention from
outside.
tJnless you throw
corn into a lean shoat
the animal never will be-
come a fat porker. It
is just as necessary to
feed a town and com-
munity with fresh material from the outside world.
It is up to you and each of us to get out and forage for
the town. Speak a good word for it. Write a good letter
for it. To you the place where you live is the mo6t impor-
tant place in the world. It is the best place in the world.
It is the center of the world. The universe revolves
around it.
This being so—and you cau't deny it—wby not HELP
advertise the center of the universe J Why not tell your
friends and acquaintances elsewhere what they We missing
by living away from the real center ?
Talk has built up ittMif ' town—every town, in fact.
Talk can build up this town. You can't talk too much if
you talk right.

A well studied, prayerful sincere

A town that never lias anything to
do in publjp way, is on the way to
the cemetery. Any citizen who will
do nothing for his town is helping
to dig the grave. A man that curses
the town turnishes the coffin The
man who is so seltish as to have no
time from his business to give to city
at fairs is making the shroud. The
man who will not advertise is driving
the hearse. The man who is always
pulling back from any public enter-
prise throws boquets on the gravfc
The man who is so stingy as to be
howling hard times, preaches the
funeral, sings the.doxology, and tuns
the town lies buried from all sorrow
and care.

So We Think.
The organisation ol the Territory of
Oklahoma into a slate necessitates
some changes in the Judiciary.
The state will have five members of
the state supreme court in addition
to the regular judges of the District
courts provided tor by the constitu-
tion. Besides providing lor these
.1 uilges the state has been divided
into two districts composed of Old
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory,
each shall be presided over by a fed-
eral judge, and Oklahoma will con-
stitute the western district. These
courts will handle federal cases only.
Among those mentioned as can-
didates for I'. S. District Judge
of the western District, none better
than Hon. J. H. Burlord the pre-
sent chief justice hHvc been named
His long service upon the bench in
Oklahoma, starting with the openidg
ot the Territory and coutinueing
uninterrupedly ever since; his unim-
peachable record as an officer aud
and citizen, and his clean private life
have inspired a confidence in the
integrity and absolute fairness of
Judge Burford that will make his
appointment as United States District
Judge of the Western District, a
most popular aud pleasing one to the
people of Oklahoma. As he was
formerly District Judge for this
district he is especially popular in
Kingfisher count}".—Clipper.

Ringling Brothers World's<lreateat
HliowS this year, the exhibition at
Enid, Oklahoma, Wednesday Oct-
ober 10 being the the only one to be
presented near here. It is ai oppor-
tunity that all lovers of good amuse-
tnent 4n«uld avail themselves of, as
the Kittling Brothers have organized
i circtis so excellent, so large and
so full fit novelty that it is above
comparison with any other show-
Furilgn agents stationed in Hurape
and Asia were instructed last winter
to engage every act of prominence
regardless of cost- and the result i*
a performance absolutely monepo-
lizlrii sll the world's best talsnt.
What these agents left for other
show* to engage was not considered
good enough fur the Ringling Bro-
thers to bother with. There are
oVerJ<00 performers with the circus
and 100 big acts, not one of which
ipyVither show could afford to pay
for. The Roccolione horses which
wear trousers, coats and Itoots, and
stand and walk on their hind feet
all thf time they are in the ring,
aN -the greatest traintd animal act
the world has ever teen.
Other attritions are Alexander
patty the only roan on earth who
cpn walk on his head as others walk
on their feet; DeKock's wonderful
dog that walks around the ring on
its hind feet, balancing a man on
its head; the wonderful five Bedinis,
frpin Itlay, wlio jump simultaneous-
ly to the'back of a single horse; the
great Kaufmnntis who ride unicy-
cles on a high wire with the handle
ke n reu «ve«l; the Ilolliway of
London; the Mamello Marnites,
acrobatic 1*11 ringers; Daisy Hod-
giiii,the celebrated Italian rider and
only woman who can turn a somer-
sault while on horseback, and the
Mirze Golden troupe, loaned to the
Ringling Brothers by the Shah of
Persia.
If the space were to sp ire 100
more acts, better than ever before
seen in this country, could be men-
tioned. Suffice it to say that Ring-
ling Brothers have an organization
o wonderful as to stand on a plain
by itself high above any other kind
of amusement. And there will be
but one oppertunity for the people
of this vicinity to see it

Beats all what dependence a wo-
man will place on a button or string.
An Anthony young lady who had a
beau home from church last SOnday
evening got a scolding Monday mor-
ning because she lost a white skirt
coming home. It came down while
walking down Main street and rather
then be humilated by picking it up
with it over her arm when it was
the first beau she had had this year,
the young lady stepped out of the
akirt and never let on. The button
on the band broke when she sneezed.
—Anthony Republican.
You msy owe more to humanity in
this world than you have any idea.
U will never pay to lift your head
high in the air and have no concern
for the woes ot those around you
Neither should stubborness ever be
taken for independence, or indepen-
dence mistaken for selfishness. The
human race gets these two words
wonderfully mixed and out ot joint
at times and the woe and misery that
follows in the wake of their miscon.
struction ott' times amount to
Calamity. Charity and good fellow-
ship don't cost much of an effort
and nothing in dollars and cents.
And it will buy more than all the
gold in the world in the bargain. —
