SENTIMENT in favor of
chasing scrub bulls from
Oklahoma and replacing them
with registhred sires is spread-
ing thruout the state. It is with
difficulty that a man is found
who raises any objection to the
move inaugurated for the im-
provement of cattle, and it is
generally conceed that the prop-
osition, if successful, will mean
an increase of from 40 to 60 per
cent in the value of cattle in the
state within five years as a re-
sult of the improved quality in-
cident to the use of pure bred
sires.
But bulls with which the scrubs
are replaced must be good ones,
Frank M. Gault, president of j
the State Board of Agriculture, j
insists: They must have plenty j
of bone, good conformation, j
pleasing pedigree and the power |
to transmit their excellence to I
their get.
Gault retires from the agricul-
tural board Jan. 13 and will j
thenceforth devote his entire at-
tention to his Hereford herds in
Caddo and Canadian counties.
He says it is his ambition to
raise the best white face cattle
in the country—animals which
will be a credit to both himself
and the state.
Our New Year Offer
Heretofore we have made a
reduced rate during Christmas
week to subscribers, but on ac-
count of our illness this year we
were unable to do so. Now we
are going to give you a chance
to have your home paper visit
you every week for the next
three years at a material saving.
In fact the subscription has been
marked down 33/, per cent.
During the month of January
we are going to take new and
renewal subscriptions . at $2.00
for three years. This means a
a generous saving to you. Look
up the date on your paper and
see when it expires, if it reads
,'1-19*' it means that it expired
JUn. 1, 1919, or if it still has "18"
on it it means that it has expir-
ed and should be renewed. This
offer is good for January 1919
only and if your expriation comes
at any time in the near future
you can extend it by taking ad-
vantage of this offer during this
month. Practically our entire
subscription list is paid in ad-
vance, but there are a few who
are in arrears that would confer
a favor on the editor if they
would just slip him a couple of
simoleons, within the next few
days.
Swaliowed a Lead Pill
It is reported that a certain
individual, in Cashion suffering
from a stroke of white-mule,
made a mistake and swallowed a
45-calaber bullet the other even-
ing for a pill. Evidently he has
been a flu sufferer and was ac-
cost •med to taking those "horse
capsules" which Dr. Pollock
prescribed so freely for flu pat-
ients.
THE*HOME PAPER
When the evenin' shade is fallin' at the
endin' o' the day.
An' a feller rests from labor smokin'
his pipe o' clay,
There's nothin' does him so much good.
be fortune up or down,
As the little country paper from his oP
hom« town.
It ain't a thing o' beauty an' its print
ain't always clean,
But it straightens out his temper when
a feller's feelin' mean;
Jt takes the wrinkles off his face an'
brushes off the frown.
That little country paper from his oP
home town.
It tells of all the parties an' balls of
Punkin row,
'Bout who spent Sunday with his girl
an' how the crops'll grow;
How it keeps a feller posted 'bout who
is up an' who is down,
Ttiat little country paper from his oP
home tovyn.
Now I like to read the dailies an' the
story papers, too,
And at times theyallow novels an' some
other trash—don't you?
But when I want some readin' that will
brush away a frown,
1 want that little paper from my oP
home town. — Clipt.

LIVER DIDN'T ACT
DIGESTION WAS BAG
Say* 65 year Old Kentucky Lady, Who Tells How She Was Relieves
After a Few Doses of Bkck-Draught
Meadorsvillc, Ky.—Mrs. Cynthia
Higginbotham, of this town, says: "At
my age, which is 65, *he liver does
not act so well as when young. A few
years ago, my stomach was all out of
fix. I was constipated, my liver
didn't act. My digestion was bad, and
it took so little to upset me. My ap-
petite was gone. I was very weak...
I decided I would give Black-
Draught a thorough trial as I knew it
was highly recommended for this
trouble. I began tak.ng it I felt
better after a few doses. My appetite
improved and I became stronger. My
bowels acted naturally and the least
trouble was soon righted with a few
doses of Black-Draught."
Seventy years of successful use has
made Thedford's Black-Draught a
standard, household remedy. Ever,?
member, of every family, at times,
need the help that Black-Draught can
give in cleansing the system and re-
lieving the troubles that come from
constipation, indigestion, lazy liver,
etc. You cannot keep well unless your
stomach, liver and bowels are in good
working order. Keep them that way.
Try Black-Draught. It acts promptly,
gently and in a natural way. If you
feel sluggish, take a dose tonight.
You will feel fresh tomorrow. Price
25c. a package—One cent a dose
