plenty to eat in the chuck box.
The Southwestern Bell Tel-
ephone Company have asked for
a raise of rates to apply in Ok-
lahoma City.
They claim that they have
a tually lost money during the
past year in that city.
Yet, they have paid a dividend
taking the system as a whole.
This is a poor time to appeal
to anybody for a raise in rates
for anything.
With nearly everything hitting
the decline, we actually can't see
how in the world this company
could have the nerve to ask an
increase.
Nearly every line of business
is a losing proposition just n< >w,
or so it is claimed by the oper-
ators.

A young lady from Mulhall
said that when Crescent and
Guthrie played ball at Mulhall a
young man wearing a red sweat-

drunk both times. Now we
know she was mistaken for no
young man of our acquaintance
in Cashion ever wears a red
sweater to a ball game.

PO A
We know the farming busines*
is hard hit, likewise the retail
business—
And the print shops— but
pshaw, who expects a printer to
make any simoleons?
It is generally conceded that
the railroads are being hard hit
because their rates are prohibit-
ive.
Soon the telephone will be in
that class if they keep increas-
ing rates.
Miss Elsie Wedertz left Tues-
day for California where she will
the summer.
A heavy rainfall accompanied
the electrical storm here Mon-
day night, soaking the ground to
the depth of several inches. This
adds considerable to the condi-
tion of the growing crops. Wheat
harvest will be under way in a-
bout a week or ten days.

Get Ticket to Theater.
Pawhuska Interest is said to be

will take place in June, under the di
reel ion of Mrs. Clarence Lohman, the
county farm demonstrator. Through
Mrs. Lohman's efforts interest gener-
ally/has bi'en aroused throughout the
Osage country.
The prolonged dry season, piior to
the recent rains. h;is delayed growth,
but a good exhibition in promised. A
theater manager here will exhibit a
picture of special interest to children
on the date of the opening of the
show and every exhibitor will be giv-
en a pass to the picture.

The H. S. Play
We had the pleasure of wit-
nessing the play given by the
young folks of the high school at
the Liberty Theatre last Friday
evening. It was an exceptional-
ly good play and was excellently
played—everyone doing their
part well. The high school has
considerable talent in this line
as was displayed in the render-
ing of "Deacon Dubbs."

No Foresight
Old Si Chestnut said: "My foresight is never
as good as my hindsight— not by a darned
sight."
We are all troubled that way more or less,
Foresight usually paints a rosy picture that
hindsight proceeds to smear with a very drab
tint.
If we knew what was going to happen even
24 hours ahead, we would all be rich.
Hut we don't know.
The only way to judge the future by the past.
The men who work and save, get ahead, es-
pecially when they keep their money at our
Bank.

Don't Procrastinate
The indications are that we will have a
severe Hail Storm with each rain this
spring.
It is a matter of wise foresight, this
season to insure against hail damage.
The rates are about the same, but our
terms are Better.
