More Improvements
A. W. Marriott is finishing up the
interior of the old Garver tore build-
ing, which he moved to his lot on Main
Btieet last week, and will soon move
his confectionery into a permanent lo-
cation. It is an improvement in that
block.
G. W. Woody is completing ti oath
room 011 the rear of his b; rbcr shop,
which will fill a long ielt want. G. W.
will probably name it "Cashion Munic-
ipal Baxh House," and solicit the fre-
quent patronage of all.
L. H. Burchett has just completed
an addition to the west front of his
machine shop, which will be ustd as
an au o repair shop. Bring on your
broken machines.
The Arkansas Lumber Yard, under
the management of J. Arthur bhort,
has been undergoiug extensive repairs
and improvements, and Arthur is mak-
ing business pick up for this well known
firm.
Henry Borklund is spending much of
his tim among the rural folk advising
them to buy silos. He has sold several
and is entertaining promises for many
more.
Several minor improvement within
the corporate limits of Cashion which
materially increases the value of our
already prosperous community have
taken place the past year. With the
opening of spring there may be a de-
mand for several day laborers.
These improvements have not been
confined to the limits of Cashion. Our
gjod and industrial rural folk have
also seen the need for improvements,
and have done so in a noticeable way.
Geo. E. Norris has recently com-
pleted a modern farm residence.
Art Bridel has recently built a neat
* addition to his farm residence east of
Cashion.
Geo. Hammond is erecting a model
residence on his home place east of
Cashion.
Thus the coontry surrounding ub is
more than keeping pace with much
older countries. Watch us grow!

Something to Think About
In one western state last year two
hundred and twenty districts held no
school. In nine other districts there
was an average daily attendance of
only one pupil a day. Twenty-two dis-
trict® had an average attendance o?
two; ninety-six of tnree; one hundred
and twenty-seven of four, and one hun-
dred and seventy-eight of five. It
costs as much to maintain or.e of these
schools as it does a school for twenty
pupils The figures are shocking.
Think of two hundred and twenty
country schools being abandoned in one
year in a state noted for the intelli-
gence and enterprise of its people!
Here's another fact: In spite of tru-
ancy laws nearly half of the country
children in a number of agricultural
statet. in the West never go any furth-
er than half way thru the grades. Ex-
perience has shown that free text
books for all school children have great-
ly increased school attendance in near-
ly half the states of the Union. And
what about ihe consolidated district
school, whereby better teachers and a
wholesome Bpirit of class rivalry is se-
cured? Are we as farmers to let our
children grow up illiterate in an age
when Efficiency everywhere is spelled
with a big E?—Mo. Valley farmer.
The First National BanK
of Cashion, Oklahoma
IS
A Farmers' Institution:
Ringwood has received an oil propo-
sition to the effect that a test well will
be sunk if the promoter is given a block
of leases comprising 10,000 acres and
$2,500 in cash. The money is to be
turned to the subscribers in case oil or
gas is found in paying quantities in the
test well. One man in the block re-
fusing to lease kills the proposition.
Jet had a much better proposition off-
ered. We do not believe that there is
a community in the world where 10,000
acres could be completely blocked, pro-
vided it is owned in 160-acie tracts.

An Editor's Easy Life
It is easy to be an editor, the Nor-
mal Bulletin says. To run a newspaper
successfully a man has merely to be
able to write poems, discuss the tariff
and money questions, umpire a base
ball game, report a wedding, saw
wood, describe a fire so that the read
era will shed their wraps, make $1 do
the work of $10, shine at a dance,
measure calico, abuse the liquor habit,
test whisky, subscribe to charity, go
without meals, attack free silver, wear
diamonds, invent advertisements, sneer
at snobbery, overlook scandal, appraise
babies, delight pumpkin raisers, min-
ister to the afflicted, lead the disgrunt-
led, fight to a finish, set type, mold
opinions, sweep out the office, speak at
the prayer meeting, and stand in with
everybody. And in addition to the
above essentials the poor editor has to
print a paper once a week.
