Secretary Hitchc ck.
Much has been said and written about the present
Secretary of the Interior and in many instances he has
been the subject of vicious attacks by the pratisan
press in various parts of the country. This, perhaps,
is due to a misunderstanding of the man and his

| A stranger in a town is always favorably or unfavor-
ably impressed with his new surroundings and is ready
to criticise in less than 15 minutes after his arrival.
Now if one should come to Pauls Valley (and they
are coming every day) what would he say of us in
the way of criticism. Perhaps he would say: This
1 town is full of an intelligent class of people and their
location and facilities for future growth indicate that
goes without *ying. Only a heart of adamant could
fail to respond to such a tribute and such a greeting.
The people have shown their loyalty and unification
under a common flag by their devotion to the head of
the government, and the president is bound to say
that he has received a square deal down here where
the people know what a square deal is in more ways
than one.

THE FARMER'S LIFE.
The farmer leads no E Z life,
The C D sows will rot,
And when at E V rests from strife
His bone* do A K lot.

If I C frosts do not retard
His crops, there'll B A drought.

Sick in old A G lies,
Tha debts he O Z leaves hit wife
And then in F C dies.
