A REAL NF.WSPAFKR WITH A UKAL (MR-
CI LATION AND PUBLISHED IN RKALTOWN

Canadian county needs more
stock raisers.
Yukon had more drunks Sat-
urday than necessary. The lid
isn't nailed down here like it
should be.
It don't matter whether its a
bank robbery or bootlegging,
when its against the law it should
not be tolerated.
There is too much personal
similarity between Bryan and
Champ Clark for "Mizzurie's
hope" to ever get there. Its
got to bean "easterner" anyway.
Farmers are being cautioned
against selling their live stock
because of the shortage of feed.
Packing companies are among
the foremost in giving out this
advice.
We have had four years of a
seven-year drouth, says Ira
Hicks, astronomer, etc., but the
more cheerful ones say there's a
whole lot of consolation in the
fact that there's only three left.
Judging from the prices live
stock and farm machinery are
bringing at the public sales this
fall, Oklahoma isn't suffering
much from the drouth. It is
said everything is going sky
high. .
As long as this paper stays un-
der its present management, it
will stand for law enforcement.
We are strictly opposed to allow-
ing a certain few the privilege
of selling booze or blowing safes.
If we are going to turn over the
town to law violators, lets turn
over in every sense of the
word.
HITS NAIL ON HEAD
Notice that country newspapers in
Oklahoma which use "ready-prints"
plate matter" are running consid-
erable matter as "news that boosts
the Aldrich currency plan and ur(?>'s
fortification of the Panama canal.
Somebody gets mone for this per-
haps, but it is a safe bet the country
newspaper doesn't Daily Oklahonian.
It's the same old# story. Not
only do country newspapers us-
ing ready prints get stung in
this way, but in a thousand oth-
er ways every year. I he ready
print business is hurting country
newspapers more than any oth-
er one thing. Patent medicine
concerns get into print for almost
nothing and all kinds of "blind,'
ads go into these papers every
week as news matter. Every
newspaper using ready-prints
puts itself in the hands of all
kinds of foreign concerns every
week without a cent from them
for the advertising they carry
and |they pay the ready-print
trust enough money every month
besides to buy enough blank pap-
er to run them two months. The
press will wake up to this game
some day, and ready-print hous-
es will pass into history where
they ought to be now.
It's a case of letting someone
run your paper for you, when
you use ready-prints and allow-
ing them to sell your advertising
space and then re-sell the
whole proposition to you again.

"The price of sugar, of which it is
said there is no apparent shortage,

WOMAN'S UNHAPPY POS1
TION
Oklahoma City Times:
Men are wont to believe that
women have so much more op-
portunity than they to be happy,
to be enjoying social advantages
and to make themselves happy
and contented.
Such men are not students of
human nature. To be happy ev-
ery one must be busily engaged,
and it matters not whether it is
a labor of love or the burden of
providing a living.
Everyone must have employ-
ment of hands and mind if they
are to be at all contented. Hu-
man nature will not sit idly by
and refuse to take an interest
in something. It is the idle wo-
man who is unhappy and the
man who is in mischief. This is
especially true with the idle wo-
man.
The happiest woman on earth
is the one who has a home which
she keeps with her own hands,
a home that is not so large as to
become a burden to her and yet
that inspires her interest and
employs her hands as well as
mind.
Home-making is the natural
Prosperity a Myth.
We have persistently main-
tained that the so-called pros-
perity of the present day is sim-
ply a delusive myth, so far as it
applies to the average man or
woman. There is now available
some tangible evidence of this
claim. I)r. Scott Nearing, of
the University of Pennsylvania
has made an exhaustive study of
the question aijd has given the
results of his investigations in a
book entitled, "Wages in the
Unittd States." After an ex-
haustive study of both federal
and state statistics Dr. Nearing
reaches these conclusions:
"It appears that half of the
adult males of the United States
are earning less than $500 a
year; that three-quarters of
them are earning less than $600;
that nine tenths are earning less
than $800 while less than 10 per
cent receive more than that
figure. A corresponding com-
putation of women's wages
shows that a fifth earn less than
$200 annually; that three-fifths
are receivirg less than $325; that
nine-tenths are earning less
than $500, while only one-twen-
tieth are paid more than $600. (
Three-fourths of the adult males'
and nineteen-twentieths of the
adult females actually earn less
than $600 a year."
Three-fourths of the adult
male in a population of 90,000,-
000 earning less and the larger j
portion very much less—then
$500 per year! Yes, the coun-
try is "prosperous" about one-
twentieth of it. —Bardolph (111.)

Business men who ought to
know, inform us that there were
several drunks on the street Sat-
urday. The Sun would like to
know how many arrests the city j
officers made and how much the
tine savings have been increased.
We are not going to allow our-
selves to be termed as cranks on
any subject, but a law violation
is a law violation and officers
tire elected to do all they can to
see that as much of this violation
as possible, is stopped and they
certainly ought to do it. How-

Text of the Lesson. Ezra i, 1-11; ii 64-
70—Memory Verses, i, 3, 4—Golden
Text, Mic. vii, 18—Commentary Pre-
pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
As we turn to the story of the re- j
turn from Ituhylon some words come ;
to mind hucli as these: "Every pur- i
pose of the Lord shall be performed,"
"Whatsoever the Lord pleased that |
did He," "lie worketh all things after
the counsel of llis own will" (,Jer. li,
20; P . exxxv, li; lipll. i, 11).
Compare the previous chapter.,
verses 21, 22, and the words of the
Lord Jesus in Luke xxiv, 44, "AU
things must be fulfilled which were
written in the law of Moses and iu
the prophets and In the psalms con-
cerning Me." All the predictions con-
cerning the captivity of Israel and
Judith were fulfilled, and now under
K/.ra and Nehemiah the predictions
concerning the return from captivity
are to be fulfilled, Cod controlling the
hearts of kings to bring it about. Just
us surely shall all predictions concern-
ing a still future restoration be ful-
tilled, anil they shall then be plucked
up no more nor seo evil any more.
Neither shall they weep any more
(Amos Ix, 15; Zeph. ill, 15; Isa. sii,
1!>). The Lord shall be their everlast-
ing light, and the days of their mourn-
ing shall be ended (Isa. lx, 20).
He Is quite able to accomplish all
that He has purposed, and it is our
privllegV to walk with Him and sec j
Him do it. If we are abiding iu nim
He may use us, but He will work out |
His eternal purpose, anil He cannot j
fail nor be discouraged (Eph. ill, 11;
Isa. xlli, 4). He may use a Cyrus or j
Darius, an Ezra or a Nehemiah, but I
He is ever saying, "I wilt work, and
who shall hinder it?" (Isa. xlill, in.) |
Cyrus is one of the seven men men- ,
tinned by name before they were born.
Isaiah speaks of him as God's chosen
one over 150 years before he came on
earth (Isa. xllv, 28; xlv, IT), Just as
Josiah was mentioned by name anil j
some things that he would do about :
:HX) years before he was born (I Kings
xlli, 2; II Kings xxiil, 15-17). How in-
spiring are the words, "1 am (iod, and
there is none else; 1 am (loil, and
there Is none like Me, declaring the:
end from the beginning, and from an- j
dent times the tilings that are not yet I
done, saying, My counsel shall stand, |
and I will do all My pleasure." i
"Known unto Hod are all His works
frem the beginning of the world" (Isa.
xhi, 0-11; Acts xv, is).
It was the Lord who stirred tip tho ;
spirit of Cyrus, the king, to send Ezra
and the people back to Jerusalem to j
build the house of the I.ord God of
Israel, and it was He who stirred up j
the hearts of all who went back
(verses 1, 5). Cyrus acknowledged j
that it was the Lord God of heaven 1
who had made him ruler over the
1 kingdoms of this world and hail
charged hlui to build the house at
j Jerusalem (verses 2-4), and he called
for volunteers to go up and do tills,
\ coniirtanding those who did not go to
help in every way those who went.
It Is all important to notice tills, for j
the church seems to have forgotten It
and Is giving itself up to schemes of
every kind to draw money from peo- ,
pie who are not interested and who
have no part in the Lord's work, not
being children of God. Notice in Ex.
xxxv, 5-20; xxxvl, 7, that the ma-
terial for the tabernacle had to be
willingly offered, and they brought so
abundantly that Moses had to ask
them to stop bringing, as more than
enough had come in for all the work
Concerning the temple, David said, |
"I have prepared with all my might j
for the house of my God. because I
have set my affection to the house of j
my God." He also said, "Who am I,,
and what is my people that we should
be able to offer so willingly after this
sort, for all things come of Thee, and |
of Thine own have we given Thee" i
<1 Chron. xxix, 2, Hill A willing]
mind is everything, and God asks no
one to give or to do that which He
does not give them the ability to give
or do (II Cor. viil, 12; I Pet. iv, 11).
The love of Christ is the one con-
straining power.
Think of the 5,400 vessels of gold
and silver which had been seventy
years in the hands of the enemy, now
about to be restored to Jerusalem
(verses 7 11)! Notice also the nearly
50,000 people (verses 04-U5), and con-
sider the restoration that is to be from
all lands, liotli before and ufter the
coming of the Messiah iu glory, that
Israel may blossom and laid and fill
the face of the earth with fruit (Ezek.
xxxvl, 24. 25; Isa. lx, 0; xxvil, C; Ps.
ixvli, H).
In chapter il, 50-02, we see the ne-
cessity of being on the bioks and can
understand better the force of Luke
t 20- Rev. xx. 15. If not registered i
on the Lamb's book or life there is no
kingdom for us. lbit "whosoever |
will" may take the water nf life free j

If you lived in a great city you would have the ac-
comodation of many large banks but you would have no
better accomodation than you have by living within
reach of
The First National Bank
of Yukon.
Our resources are as adequate to meet the demand
of our customers as the city banks are to meet the de-
mand of their city patrons and there is no bank in the
city or elsewhere that is more willing to accomodate its
customers than this bank. Experience has taught many
the importance of good bankig connections.
