economies may be able to finish the

AN EVENING OF FUN
A full house greeted Josh Lee at
the Opera House last Friday night,
and everybody was well pleased with
the entertain|ment. Josh Lee jvas
not a stranger to the people of Hail-
eyville and his popularity was fully
attested by the large and enthusias-
tic audiance that greeted his con ing
this timot His program was full
and varied,, and his fun and sarcasm
was of high order and take it all
in all he ful|y sustained his reputa-
tion.
Association.
Here are so|:ne of the reasons you
should help finish the job now.
1 To save organization expense.
2.—To give the Association 30 days
additional time to get ready to sell
you cotton this fall. There is much
to be done that cannot even be stait-
ed until the 300,000 bales are signed.
3.—The AssoLiiitni must know f-s
early as possible, how much rotten
it will have to handle this fall, as
that proper preparation may be
made to take care of your eo.ion.
inarehousing, selling help, and mat
keting arrangements must be looked
alter as early as possible so that
your Association may he among the
first on the market this fall.
4 - This is your Association. You
should Jook after its interest as you
would your own individual busi.-.ess,
for that is just what it is.
5—You will profit Troon the Asso-
ciation to a greater degree if 90 per
cent of the cotton growers of !h^
state are In it iwitih you than if but
40 per cent are 'members.
To those cottoen farmers who are
rot yet members I say: Join ihe
Oklahoma Cotton Growers Associa-
tion! I wish I knew some way to
say that in words that would burn
themselves into the brains of every
cotton farmer in the county with
such conviction that you would all
sign the Association contract. For
a short time only you can pay your
membership fee hy note, After
April 2 you cannot join on such
easy terms.
Next w«4k wall be a week of op-
portunity for every cotton fanmer
r.ot already in the Association.
E. B. NELMS, County Agent.
TRY IT
Get up right in the morning.
Go to bed right at night. Start
with joy in your heart, hope in
the future, kindness in your
purpose.
If it is a dark day, never
mind; you will lighten it up.
If it is a bright day, you will
add to the" brightness. Give
a word of cheer, a kindly greet-
ing and a waipn handshake to
your friends.
If all of us would only think
how pnuch of human happiness
is made by ourselves, there
would be less of huhian misery.
If all of us would bear in
mind that happiness is from
within and not frc|m without,
there would be a wellsprinp; of
joy in every heart and the sun
would shine forever.
Try it!- Leslie's.
Read the ad of the New York
Store, in this issue and when in

their bargains. Mr. Epstein, or his
accomodating clerksy will be glad
to show you anything in their line
of goods. They have some real
bargains.
GRADING HORINE AVE.
Last Thursday a number of
and teams met under the direction
oi Mayor Turlington and began the
giading of Horain ave. Quite a lot
of work was done during the day
and the work .vill be continued until
this ave will be the best graded
and graveled thorougfare in the city.
IS THE COMMERCIAL CLUB DEAD?
1 wonder what has become of the
Commercial Club? Last spring a
meetinig was called at the "Y" to
reorganize the club and 1 suggested
that we wait and invite the railroad
men and farmers to meet with us
and then organize a club that would
work for the up building of the
town, but a few politicans said no,
that there was the opening up of a
new road and other things that
couldn't wait and that we imust or-
ganize, and then we could invite
those other fellows in, and conse-
quently the organization was rushed
through as per their schedule and
J. R. Williams was elected chairman
and Chas. Futoransky, sec. and a few
committees appointed. This has
been some six or eight months igo,
and as far as we know there has
never been another public meeting
of the club. No road has Deen
opened, no viaduct been straightened
and as far as the public knows noth-
ing has been done.
How about it?
Last Monday nigiit an A:,ent for
a Truck Company appeared befoie
the council und sought to sell the
city a five ton truck for $6,084.00 to
haul shale for the cit/, and the Coun-
cil did well in turning tihe proposition
down at this time and putting it
up to individuals for popular sub-
scription.
Now it seems to us that putting
$6;000 into any kind of a truck that
^•ou^d only be used for hauling pur-
poses would be a very unwise and
unbusinesslike proposition. You do-
n't expect to have your streets shaied
every year, and if you could make a
load every 15 minutes as the demon-
strator figured it out, in a few month
you could shale every street and al-
ley in town, and then your truck
would be out of business.
Better go slow about running the
city into debt when it would be of
such little use.
Rev. Lewis, of Kiowa, will preach
at the Christian Church next Sunday
March 27, both in the morning and
evening. Everybody invited.
