Our life ie what we make it—
sometimes. It is oftener what
our creditors make it.
The Turks ought to be satis
fied. At least everything is
coming their way.
March 4th will ring out the
old. ring in the new. It is to be
hoped there will be no ring about
the new.
Roosevelt's belief that he is
the earth has been partis Uy
justified—like the earth he has
been flattened at the polls.
The Tulsa Demo crat says the
Red Book is a valuable work.
Of course it is valuable. Hasn't
it already cost the tax payers six
dollars a volume?
The Allen Altruist has changed
its name back as formerly to the
Allen Hustler—an admission
that altruism doesn’t pay in
Pontotoc county.
The entire state ought to thank
Pott and Lincoln counties for
sending Charlie Barrett to the
state senate. The state has need
of the service of such men.
It is a deplorable fact that mail
order houses are seriously injur-
ing the growth and prosperity of
our sountry towns. A vigorous
crusade against this manner of
depriving our home merchants
shovld be organized and faith-
fully kedt up.
Why should any privatd resi-
deut of a town send to the mail
order house for goods? If the
hame merchant does not have
what is wanted, he dan, and will
order the goods and sell them
cheaper than the individual can
hope to get them from the mail
order house. Staple goods are sold
at standard prices everywhere. A
reduction can be made only on
goods ordered at wholesale. It is
suicide of home interest to patron-
ize absentee merchants.
What would you say to your
home merchant if he asked you to
pay cash to him for goods you had
next order ask your bargain giver
to send along a dollar to assist the
widow Jonss who is sick and in
a destitute condition. You might
also ask him to attend your baz-
aar which is held in an effort to
raiee a little money to paint your
church. You won’t follow these
suggestions, but you will go to
the local business men and ask
them. They will- help you too.
Your merchant pays a merchants
license. This revenue goes to the
improvement of your town. Con-
sider your duty to your commun-
ity before you send another order

The good citizen is what makes

Gordy’s History “has been re-

consented to the removal of two
pictures; one that of John Brown

that of General Sherman lifting
his hat to a negro woman. The
publishers are surpassingly kind.
A history is supposed to teach
the truth. It is not every history
that will give one thing as the
truth in one state and the exact
of his town and community and
thus enhances the value of his
private property.
Why should anyone wish to con
tribute to the wealth of a city
where such conditions exist as
described in "The Jungle" in pre-
ference to doing justice to busi-
ness men of his own town, where
so many pleasant homes are situ-
ated, and where poverty and dis-
tress are quickly relieved by those
same bqBiness men?
No good citizen can afford to
ignore the claim merchants and
other businecs men of their town
have upon them for patronage
when the matter is properly con-
sidered. It is those men who are
investing money in business that
are looked to for support of
schools, churches, libraries and
communith industrials, and with-
out these what would a country
town be.

But in the matter of Printing-Job Printmg-did it ever
occur to you that type faces are continually being im-

a year or so ago is probably obsolete today?

In the hell box, most probably—at least they should
be there. Which brings us to what we started in to
say, viz: That by reason of bringing our Holdenville

from the foundry, bought by a man who “knows

Farm Notes.
The sugar crop from the beet
was 60,000 tons a year ago; it is
700,000 tons this year. The sugar
comes from the carbon-dioxide of
the atmosphere, taking no valu-
able plant food from the soil.
The process is intensive agricul-
ture, something new to all but
by most farmers for not keeping
sheep is "the dogs’M Kansas had
in 1910, 175,000 sheep and 199,000
dogs.
Bookkeeping will soon be as
common on the farm as in the
factory. It is just as important
for a farmer to know the cost of
of producing a crop as the man-
ufacturer to know the cost of
making the article he sells.

Well, Mr. Editor, here I am
again and the earth is in the
same shape it was when you
heard from us before and School-

always been, ffrst class.
There has been a great deal of
confusion in school district 49 as
to what the name of the new

R. Noe, county assessor, and that
I earnestly endeavored to treat
the people fairly, and that I fol-
lowed the instructions of my
employer, and that he always ex-
pressed himself as satisfied with
my work, and that anyone knows
if they know the facta, that the
Board of County Commissioners
are the men who raised the taxes
in Brown Township and that it
wasn’t U. S. Allen. Neither was
it Frank Noe that raised the taxes
and when I humbly remonstrated
Mith the board against such
raises as were made they laugh-
ed and sneered at my values,
claiming they conscientiously
evangelical work, and a rousing
meeting ia expected by the
Methodist fraternity.

Blood Was Wrong
AH women, who suffer from the aches and pains, due
to female ailments, are urged to try Cardui, the reliable,
scientific, tonic remedy, for women. Cardui acts promptly,
yet gently, and without bad effects, on the womanly system,
relieving pain, building up strength, regulating the system,
and toning up the nerves. During the past half century,
thousands of ladies have written to tell of the quick curative
results they obtained, from the use of this well-known medicine.
Cardui
The
WomansTonic
Mrs. Jane Callehan suffered from womanly trouble for
nearly ten years. In a letter from Whiteville, N. C, she
says: "I was not able to do my own housework. My
stomach was weak, and my blood was wrong. I had back-
ache, and was very weak. I tried several doctors, but they
did me no good. I used Cardui for 3 or 4 months, and now
I am in the best health I have ever been. I can never praise
Cardui enough." It is the best tonic, for women.
Whether seriously sick, or simply weak, try Cardui.
