Merry Christmas
o—
Christmas week makes weak
pockctbooks.
o
A gift in the hand is worth a
couple in the postoffice.
Have a right merry Christ-
mas and a royal good time.
Sad is the heart thaf ; .nnot
rejoice at Christmas tmie.
o
A pound of steak to a poor
man is worth ten holiday greet-
ings.
Let all the people who wish to
start the New Year 1923 right,
move to Tahlequah.
o
One thing every prize fighter
tries to avoid is a repetion of the
of the good old daze.
Several oT our subscribers
omplain of missing their Lead-
er, most of the complaint com
ing from the city and two rural
routes. We marke 1 off over
200 hundred subscribers last
week, they being behind with
their subscription according to
Mr. Hardy's subscription b ok.
which is ail we have to go by.
but many complaints were made
from sources different from
those in arrears, and it looks to
us like we, who addressed the
issue, are to blame, or some one
else. At any rate we are going
to see to it that every paid up
subscirber receives the Leader.

POLITICAL PLUMS FOR
POLITICAL SOCK
Many a man gets a girl under
the mistletoe only to find him-
self a little later, under her
thumb.
Exports of automobiles from
America doubled in 1922. The
rest ol the world longs to keep
up with us.
o
The principal difference be-
tween the highwayman and the
profiteer is that the bandit does
it with a gun.
Every once in a while you run
across a man who feels as big
as a dollar bill looks on a collec-
tion plate.
o
A fool can always start some-
thing, but generally it requires
a wise head and a strong arm to
stop it.
o
Now is the time when husband
and friend wife make promise.-
—which they have no idea of
keeping—that -they'll cut out
the Christmas presents.
A nice, easy exercise for one
on Christmas day is that of
counting the change you have
left. It can be done generally
with one hand.
o
Just because your wife tells
you to buy her something useful
don't think she, will be satisfied
it you send her home just a sack
of flour.

The X-ray icv-aled a bullet
that a man carried at the base
of his skull for 27 years. He
had the ball and that is why it
was holding its base.

there is absolutely no more calls

W. E. Disney, of Muskogee,
Dave Stovall, of Hugo, and Dr.
S. Long of Tulsa, the other
entrants in the speakership race,
appear to be running in the or-

In the run for president pre
tem of the senate Tom Anglin ol
Holdenville shows up away out
in the lead over his opponent,
•Bill Holloway of Hugo. It i.-
freely touted that Anglin ha*
the solid backing of all Walton
lieutenants and that in itself
would win the contest for him.
It today's consensus of opinion
figuies at all there is nothing to
it but the seating of Anglin, for
he appears to have 20 to 25 of
the 32 votes in the democratic
caucus.
Really the big contest of th.
period is the race for secretary

carrying with it the chairman-
ship of the state election board.
The charge that the Farmer-
