'Successor to The Peoples Voice"
NORMAN, OKLAHOMA THURSDAY MARCH 16, 1911
NUMBER 37
PIANO CDNTEST IS ON
Are You A Candidate? Do You
Want To Win A Prize?
Who are the most popular and
ambitious ladies in this com-
munity is the talk at the present
time, and from the large numb-
er of nominations indicate that
the candidates are fretting busy
to try and win the title.
The beautiful #400.00 Don
Pierre Piano that we offer is
sufficient to make any lady com-
pete for it- saying nothing about
the 14 k Diamond Ring, Elgin
gold watches and other prizes
that we offer.
If you or your friend's name
does not appear in the list of
candidates remember that it is
not to late to be nominated.
Send in your name or that of
your friend immediately as the
contest is just starting and you
have plenty of time to get in
the race and win. It costs noth-
ing to enter and only a little ef-
fort is required ingathering bal-
lots and coupons. Ballots are
had by clipping them from this
paper every week,and are worth
ten votes. Coupons can be had
from the merchants on every
purchase and are worth 100 vot-
es each. Get busy and ask your
friends to gather ballots and
coupons for you and send tliem
to this office as soon as pos-
sible.
Below are the nominations
sent to this office, and many of
the candidates would be surpris-
ed if they knew the large num-
ber of votes they have at the
present time. We will publish
the standing of candidates April
6th, 1911, thus giving those who
are not nominated a chance to
get in the race and have a large
number of votes to their credit
when the standing is published.
It also gives the ambitious can-
didates a chance to poll a large
vote before we make the an-
nouncement. Read the rules and
regulations in another column.
Next week we will make a
special offerand it will be to the
interest of every candidate to
get out and hustle merchants
coupons to receive thebenelit of
it. Ask your friends, neighbors
and relatives to demand mer-
chants' coupons for you as they
will increase your standing im-
mensely.
Candidates Beware
You can secure votes with
every dollar purchase at your
stores and if they have not
coupons, they cand secure them
for you, remember that every
vote counts and for this reason
you should insist upon hav-
ing them. They cost you noth-
ing extra and means for you the
winning of a prize.
Notes On Subscription
Two weekfs hence we will offer
a fine inducement on subscrip-
tion, therefore, line up your
friends and relatives and have
them save their subscription
money for you. No trouble at
all to go out and collect on sub
scriptions as the new law com-
pels us to collect our subscript-
ions in advance, and as we have
not the time to attend to it, we
will give prizes to the ladies
that can collect the most. The
reward is great,the time is short
the roads are good and you can
not help but collect a lot o(
money. What will pay you bet
ter than one of our prizes for so
short a time'? Nothing that we
know of,
Determination Wins
Determination wins in the long
race. Victory is partly a men
tal attitude <'■ '<■')
qured before they tight, if you
feel that vou have no chance
that instant you've lost it.
Everything is uncertain be-
fore it is attempted. Your first
problem is to get a show and
now is the time to commence.
There is to much theory of how
to be successful. It isn't a mat-
ter to be figured out; it must be
worked out. Correspondence
schools can't teach you to be
rich. There is no rule by which
fortune is won. The problem is
just the same as it was at the
beginning of time; well directed
effort Backed by enthusiam and
ambition, caution, care of detail
and constant dissatisfaction
with yesterday's best—these are
the elements on which prosper-
ity has been founded since the
start of society.
If you are popular and ambit-
ious and dont't back them, it's
your fault, so start now; jdo not
wait, for others will get ahead
of you.
The following are the candi-
dates who have been nominated.

ar list?

HERE ARE II BOOSTERS

Peasant Evening Reveries---A Column
Dedicated to Tired Mothers as They
Join the Home Circle at Evening Tide.
Crude Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
A cheerful word or smile will till
your fireside with pleasantness, re-
kindle the fires of love in your wife's
bosom and brighten the hopes anil
asperations of your children. Cheer-
fulness is better than doctor's medi-
cine, and a cheerful home is mi earth-
ly heaven.
Let the sunshine into the gloomy
rooms, have a couch to lie on, a piano
to play on; in fact, a home to live in:
and wherein a sense ot'hospitality and
good cheer exudes from the very tabic
and chairs, instead of a mausoleum
of gloomy elegance, wherein every
thing is for show and nothing to be
used.
The gleeful life of happy children is
the best home music and the graceful I
figures of childhood ar e best statuary.
We are all kings ard queens in the
cradle. A home without a child! It
is like a lantern without a candle; a
garden and no tlowers; a vine and no
grapes; a brook and no water gurg-
ling and gushing in its channel.
unite in telling us of a God. Show
these beautiful arched heavens to
your children and explain to them
these poets while their young mind?
are so tender and easily impressed.
A woman who in capable of filling
her home in every sense of the word
is worthy of more true applause than
if she possessed many accomplish-
ment. We are often very much im-
pressed by the woman who is doing a
great and grand work for humanity,
hut the one who retains our respect is
the true wife and mother, who pre-
sides over her hotne and children
with a hea.t and head, demonstrating
k ndntss and ability, which puts the
b ush on the public life. Let the par-
enis, the father us well as the mother,
impress upon their young daughters,
whether they are in the country
school house or college, that the true
woman's sphere is jn the horns, and
the great business and educational
worlds th.it have thrown wide open
the doors for woman does not detract
one iota from the importance of her
sphere.
Home should be just one Haze of
sunshine. But it can not be while
some member of the family circle is
snapping and lauit-tinding and selfish.
Do people ever go more deliberately
and insanely at work to make them-
selves miserable than they do when
they deliberately cloud th ■ lights of
the only place on earth where they
have agy reason to expect anything j
like perfect quiet and happiness?
Cultivate a cheerful deposition. Do
not wrap up all your interest, all j
your thoughts and ambition in self. '
Seek to please those with whom you
associate, and above all strive to
lighten the burdens and hours of the
ones at home who call you husband,
father, or brother. Whatever be you<
disappointment, or how heavy th
cross you bear, do not go over the
threshold of your home with a sullen,
cheerless countenance.
Who but women—when Judas be-
trayed, and Peter denied, and the
weary "lent, and the fearful tied-
could summon energy tolinger around
the spot, to mingle the tears of pity
with the blood of suffering? Who but
a woman, when man turned coward,
and his trust grew faint, could stand
until the last by the dying Saviour,
and then go to trim the lamp of her
devotion at the door of the sepulchre,
Kind words bring memories that
echo through the years long after the
lips that uttered them have crumbled
to dust Children carry the memory
of words of appreciation with them
thru childhood and often recall them
in old age when enveloued in the
shadows of life. They are like the
perfume of the violet that lifts it-
head above the spring snows and
whispers to them of the sunshine.
Money cannot buy, intellect cannot j
create so rare agem as true kindness.
It is a heart product and needs the
tenderest of culture. It is killed b
indifference and enfeebled by neg-
lect.
We feel animated to struggle more
manfully iu great battles of life when
we remember our mother's holy coun-
sel to us in childhood'* early dawn
Ah! those of tenderness—those pious
precepts softened by a"mother's lovi''
—too much unheeded then, and dis-
regarded —live now. brightened in
memory, and constitute our sweote.-t
recollections. Her prayers for us in
childhood—her sparkling crystal tears
made an impression on our young
minds as durable as time and even
now they bid us walk in the paths of
rectitude.
The following merchants are
boosting tlie piano contest and
ire always pleased to give cou-
pons or votes with your pur-
chase.
F. .1. McGINLEY
Use Mayfield's cold lab'ets.
Many a soldier who bravely stood
at his post of duty for two or three
years during our Civil War, is cover-
ed with badges. We would not take
one from him, he merits them; but
many an "ordinaiy" woman has stood
at her post of duty for thirty, forty
and even half a century, fighting with
si-:;ness, poverty and discouragment,
m/. with true Spartan courage Kept
the wolf from the door and saved the
lives of a large family of children.
The man who saves one life receives
a prize for bravery, his pictures ap
pear in the metropolitan papers,and
he wears a medal which says to the
wo Id he was brave. And he was
Hut ihe woman who has saved the
lives of many is given no badge, and
seldom ever a word of commendation.
These ordinary women may not re-
ceive a Carnegie badge for bravely,
but "He who marks the sparrow's
tall" will certainly reserve for them
the brightest jeweled crowns in his
kingdom.

PERSONAL MENTION
OUR OWN
If I only had known in the morning,
how weary all the day
The words unkind would trouble my
mind that I said when you went
away,
If I had been more careful, darling,
nor given you needless pain;
But we vex our own with look and
tone we might never take back
again.
Eor tho in quiet evening you may give
me the kiss of peace,
Yet it well might be flint never for
me the pain of the heart would
cease
And hearts have lie. n broken for
harsh words ,-p >ken.
That sorrow can ne'er set tight.
We have careful thought for the
stranger, and smiles for the some-
time guest,
But oft for our own the bitter tone,
though we love our own the best,
Ah, lip with curve impatientah, brow
with shade of scorn,
It were cruel fate were the night to
late to undo the work of morn.
—Margaret Elizabeth Sangster.
