THE BEST THAT MONEY CAN BUY
Repairs: When you buy the cheap John off brand implements, you can't get a repair this side the Kingdom
Come and'have to wait from 6 to 10 days and be out of the use of the implement all this time and pay express
on top of all this. If you buy a Deere or Moline tool you can come to our store get the part wanted and return
home rejoicing and go to work, this item should be thought of when purchasing.
And we have been selling these two lines of goods for years and have no thought of changing, so you are
safe on the repair proposition. You might save 50c by buying the off brand, and pay $1 express on the first re-
pair. Is this economy? When the Deere and Moline line is bought, you know you buy the best.
Buy the Best, they cost no more CARPENTER S FOUSHEE BROTHERS

A GREAT FAVORITE
One of our old bachelors who is
now nearing the three-score mark
&nd who is yet a great favorite
among the ladies incidentally re-
marked that Stroud had the fewest
number but that the nicest lot of
widows that he hsd ever seen in a
tuwn of its size. *e remarked
it) recalling the many living attrac-
tions of Stroud we find she is
iblessed with but few widows accord-
ing to her population, all of whom
• are ladies of culture and refinement,
The most of them In our opinion,
'.however, are resigned to complete
life's journey enjoying what com-
forts and pleasures there are to
be found in single blessedness.
They are entertaining, energetic
and enterprising and all well to do,
but few of them apparently are
kindly disposed to the idea of
shouldering the burden of support-
ing another person just for the sake
of having a man at the head of the
family, while on the other hand
the minority of them signify a will,
ingness to assume additional re*
sponsibilities. This minority, how-
ever, is in no sense bold nor for-
ward but to the contrary are meek
and modest, but given in a measure
the face from ear to ear. Of course'
a smile of that description is be-
witching and is even looked upon
with delight by some of our meek-
eyed widows, At any r«te this
gallant old bachelor lias the courage
of his convictions and is already
talking about the rent of and the
negotiation of town property which
has not always been his own. We
may confidently expect to hear
something out of the ordinary hap-
pening in the near future We are
going to keep our eyes on this wise
old rage.

Oklahoma City, Feb.
(Special) House Bill No.
providing' for the publication
monthly of the list of monies
paid out by towns, townships
and school districts was killed in
the lower house of the legisla-
ture Friday. Representatives
Pruitt, Wright, Halsell, Riddle
and Emanuel were active against
the bill. Friends of the measure
were surprised and caught un-
awares by its foes bringing it up
at the time. Friends of the bill
supported it because they be-
lieved publicity the most effect-
ive preventive of extravagance
graft. Those who opposed the
bill argued cost as their reason.

West Virginia that the Democrats
