A JOLLY CROWD
VISITS CHANDLER
Every true American should
be proud to celebrate the fourth
of July and rejoice that this
is a land of political and re
ligious freedom. There is a
class of citizens who can re-
joice still more in addition to
celebrating the fact that wo hi ve
political and religious freedom.
Of course this latter class should
feel gratified to commemorate
the Fourth of July first, aud
next to that this special class
is entitled to celebrate the fact
that ttiey are Indepondent in
the Way of being properly oquip
ped to make their way success-
fully through the business wold.
Those who do the muscular
forms of work, wlio are driv

olden time, do not, however,
have as much chance ti ceie

diffcult to explain this ppcular effect' The
explanation Offered in Prometheus is that

the paper and thus the entire print can be
read. However that maybe the experiment

How To See
Through Paper
A very remarkable experiment which
anyone can repeat with very little trouble
has been unearthed by a contributor to
Prometheus in an old number of the Mecha-
those of their fellow citizens
who are more independent and
capable of earning good salaries
with numberless chances for
advancement in position and
power in the business world.
There are two ways securing
this second grade of Indepen-
dence. One is by going into
the business world as an office
boy or as a messenger and by
working harder than most
people care , to work and after
long years of service they fin-
ally can take charge of the
work of their former employers.
This way is a long and arduous
one. The other is invest a few

Mr. and Mrs. B, H. Christy and
family:— Dear brother and sister, I
am sorrow to hear of your sad trou-
ble. Sad indeed! You have mv sym-
pathy in this sad dark hour. We
read of little 'Friad's death in the
■New Era, I was so shocked to hear
Ruth read it, she said: "Just listen
ht-re mamm"! and she read it over
again. Dear Janie I know your
heart Is sad It's hard to part with
our loved ones. I know from sad
experience. My first babe lived four
days, the next sick two and half
days, next babs sick nine hours, dear
companion sick eleven days, m y
17 year old boy's life was snatched
away without a moments warning,
shot accidently. If ray dear compan-
ion had bsen spared me in that
hour of grief. All alone excepf God
in whom I Put my trust. De r broth-
er and sister go to Christ in prayer.
You find releif there to your saddened
heart, don't grieve for Fred just
think of him as*an angle. Put all
your trust in our blessed Redeemer
who doeth all things well. He has
promised in his word, not to leave
ua. In our troublas and grief He
comforta. Home here is sad and
lonely without our loved ones. We
must all strive to meet them. W.iere
porting will be no more. No more
pain, 110 more to sing on sick beds:
"God be with you till we meat again."
Is there any one can help us,
Qno who understands our hearts.
When the thoms of life have pierc-
ed tnem till they bleed;
One who sympathizes with us,
Who in wounderous love imparts.
Just the very, very blessing that
we need?
Yes there's one, only one.
The blessed, blessed Jesus He's
the one;
When affliction preBs the soul,
When waves of troubles roll,
And you need a friend to help
you, He's the one.
Your sister,
Mrs. J. S. Christy.

J. J. Fitzpatrick came i n
the other day from west Plains,
Mo. and liked Davenport so well
he decided to make this his per-
manent home, and will bring
his family here in the near
future.
Mr. Fltzpatrick is not a stran-
ger in Oklahoma. He having
been in the real estate business
in* Delaware, Notawa county
for six years, and from there
he went to West Plains, Mo.
and like all others who drink
Oklahoma water, can't stay
away.
Mr. Fitzpatrick is very enthu-
siastic over the prospects for
the advancement of Davenport,
and realizing the posibilities of
this place, decided to enter the
real estate business and invites
those who have any thing to
sell, lease, rent or exchange to
list it with him.
