Farm Lands
and Loans
At no time in the history of the coun-
try has there been such a demand for
farm lands as now.
High prices for all products and the
freedom resulting from farm life are
largely responsible for these condi-
tions.
This is the year for renters to obtain
homes of their own.
We have a number of excellent bargains in farms at
all prices and in all parts of Cleveland and McClain
counties, on which we can give excellent terms, and, if
desired, make loans at a low rate of interest. If you are
interested let us show you some of our bargains. We
know we can satisfy you.

Jimmie got hot under the collar and
handed it back to him good and plenty.
Jimmie said If their education taught
them to torpedo Lusltanlas, sink hos-
pital ships, murder hundreds of wom-
en and children, make slaves of
the Belgians, poison wells, destroy fruit
trees and commit all sorts of crimes,
then we did not want that kind of
education here. What do you think

I"
opinion."
"Well," replied Uncle Dan, deliber-
ately, "the German schools are very
thorough; they furnish exceedingly val-
uable and practical Instruction. The
industrial training given there Is prob-
ably the best to be found. The schools
as a whole, however, In my opinion,
appeal to the head only, and never to
the heart. The alia and trend Is to
make the individual blindly submis-
sive to the Prussian plan of world do-
minion; they teach that It Is the des-
tiny of Germany to rule the world, and
that to the glory and advance of Ger-
many, In this plan, all things must give
way; that the kaiser as head of the
state, can do no wrong If he carries
forward the plan of world control.
Some of the greatest teachers aud
preachers even defend and justify her
heartless crushing of Belgians and the
many other atrocious crimes she has
committed In this war. Thnnk God,
our American education reaches both
the head and the heart. It is an edu-
cation with a soul, and we must main-
tain the high Ideals we have Med. In
a word, In Germany, the people are
taught that they exist for the govern-
ment, while here the government ex-
ists to serve the people."
"Just wait a minute," Interrupted
Blllle. Say that over again slowly, so
I can write It down."
Uncle Dan, smilingly, compiled.
Blllle exclaimed: "Now, we will hand
that nut out for Carl to crack.
Carl, you know," continued Billle,
"has a very smart father who keeps
him posted on the German arguments.
Carl said our government was only
an experiment anyway; that It would
not last twenty years, and that it
might burst up any old time. Jimmie
asked him if Germany was so mighty
good, why they did not go back there
to live."
"Our government will go on forever,
won't It, Uncle Dan?"
"Now," said Uncle Dan, "yon are
raising a big question, and one that
has troubled me for years. Our gov-
ernment Is still in the experimental
stage; in fact, It Is the greatest ex-
periment ever undertaken, and If pop-
ular government Is to be .successful, a
few things must be done, otherwise, to
paraphrase the great Lincoln, the gov-
ernment of the people, by the people
and for the people, will perish. It is
my firm conviction," said Uncle Dan,
In a very Impressive manner, "that If
our country Is to go on, as we hope
and pray, we must very quickly do
at least three things, and I will name
them In the order of Importance as It
appears to me:
"First, adopt compulsory universal
military training of all young men
physically fit before they reach the
age of twenty years.
"Next, require that every foreigner
who comes here to live must, within a
reasonable time, say a year, declare
his Intention of becoming an American
citizen and take the necessary steps to |
do so, thereby, from that moment, as-1
suming all the obligations of citizen-1
ship of our country, and that means he
must defend our flag upon equal terms
Those Who Pay for Keys Can Get In—
Others Must Make Long Detour
or Climb a Six-Foot
Fence.
North Adams, Mass.—When Is a
•treet not a street? While no general
answer to that question has been
given, the supreme court of Massachu-
setts has ruled that Francis street,
heretofore a thoroughfare In regular
standing, Is not a street after all. As
a result the "street's" owner has not
only closed it, but has locked It up.
Those who pay for keys can get In.
Others must mako a long detour or
Climb a six-foot board fence surmount-
ed by barbed wire.
Several years ago Mrs. Rosa Bettl
decided that she owned Francis street.
She began a legal action to establish
her ownership. This was not consid-
ered seriously by those who contem-
plated building nnd several erected j
homes In the street. The congregation j
of tho House of Israel erected a syna-
gogue. The street became a much-
used thoroughfare.
Fences the Street.
Now the supreme court says that |
Mrs. Bettl was right. While the mill j
of Justice was slowly grinding Mrs.
Bettl sold her property, Including tho
"street," to Peter Plante. The first
action of Mr. Plante when the decision
was given was to ask for financial con-1
tributlons from those who crossed his ;
property. When It wasn't forthcoming
he built his fence.
While the "street" was a fake the
fence is a first-class barrier. It Is six
feet In height and Is surmounted by a |
strip of equally first-class barbed wire.
OBITUARY
Joe Rufus Wilson was born in
Hardin county, Kentucky, October 2,
1854. Was habtized in infancy and
professed religion when still a youth.
When a young man he went to Texas,
remaining there until shortly after
the opening of Oklahoma, where he
came and made his home until the
time of his death.
He was highly esteemed by his
many friends for his kindness and
honor. He commenced failing this
summer but remained et his home for
several weeks, until about thr mi l-
die of September went to Noble, Okla.,
to make his home with his sister, Mrs.
C. I'. Klinglesmith, where he breathed
his last, at 8 o'clock, Friday morning,
October 12, 1917.
During his illness he never com-
plained but bore his suffering with
fortitude and patience, preparing for,
and awaiting the time when he should
meet, his God.
He is survived by one brother,
Willie W -"I of Temple, Texas, and
four sisters, Mrs. C. P. Klinglesmith,

The Fence Is a First-Class Barrier.
It has a self-closing gate which is
equipped with a spring lock. Those
who have made their contribution to
Mr. Plante have received keys. Others
go around the block, but the block in
question contains a miniature moun-
tain. The only things which have
climbed It to date are the goats of
those who must walk nearly a mile
around Its base to avoid enriching Mr.
Plante.
Tickles the Tailors.
Much to the delight of the city's
tallois, several persons have tried to
climb the fence. It has been found
that the barbed wire Is Just as effec-
tive as any bnrbed wire can be. Those
who are the victims of the fence are
urging the city to purchase the right
of way for a street Mr. Plante thinks
his demands are not exorbitant. 'Ihe
city officials think they ure. The vic-
tims say the fence will be mado an
Issue In the next city campaign.
