Our Opportunity.
The removal of restrictions,
which win be effective July
2 7, will bring an exodus of
home-seekers and home-mak-
ers into eastern Oklahoma and
wonderful development may
be expected in the next two or
three years.
As the country develops
towns will be built as they are
demanded. There is no rea-
son why Foyil should not be
one of the good townsof Rogers
County if properly pushed.
Nevertheless we must not sit
idly by and expect stranger to
"butt in" and combine their
energies to make itsuch. Good
citizens, investors and boosters
don't usually go where they
are not wanted.
Other towns hold out in-
ducements and we will have to
do the same if we would pros-
per and grow as we should,
otherwise many desirable set-
tlers will move on to the next
town as they have done in the

The Secret of Happiness.
In lookin' through advertise-
ments for bargains did you
ever find happiness for sale?
No sir, for there ain't no bank-
rupt stocks of happiness. Oh.
1 used to think along your line.
I didn't think that I'd ever be
happy till I owned all the land
adjoinin' my farm, and I was
miserable because 1 saw no
chance of gettin it. Every
day or so I'd see a hearse go-
in' down the road haulin' some
old fellow to the graveyard,
and one day it came upon me
all of a sudden that I h-a to
to along there, too. Then 1
Mowed that I ought to get as
much happiness out of the
world as possible, and I was

you'd keep close company with

One man is really stronger
than another for what he
knows an not for what he s got.
We know he cant take his
material things with him, but
no man knows that he can t
take the spiritual things. Solo-
mon was the wisest man, it is
said, but I believe he would
have been a little wiser if he
hadn't been so rich. He would
not have been mixed up with
so many women, and right
there is where he proved he
wan't any wiser than some ol
the rest of us.
Well, 1 thought over what
the county jedge said, and 1 bt-
lect any work that yOu^may
have to do. or that you should
not want to make money, but
I do mean that- you ought to
lay up an estate that can't be-

you old talk, it is true, but it is
the old principles that touch
man the most, for they have
all had a bearin on his life.
Dont understand me to mean,
boys, that you should become
bookish, but just to mix your
readin in along with your life,
it will keep you from breakin
yourself down tryin to keep up
with some man that can make
money easier than you can.
and he will always be there,
just a little in front of you.
