MAN COUGHS AND BREAKS RIB
After a frightful coughing spell a
1 man in Neenah, WiH., felt terrible
Of all sad words
Of sheer disgust
The saddest are these
“That rain missed us!”
THE CROP OUTLOOK
Reports from various parts of
the country indicate that the
tirst alfalfa crop is practically bar
vested, thu the yield was tine,
quality far above average and
the price averaging around $12
per Ton. This is the tirst cash
crop of the year and the result is
a cheerful prophecy tor the other
crops.
Indications are that the wheat
is somewhat injured by the two
days hot winds recently but the
extent of damage, if damage
there is, will be impossible to
determine for another ten days.
Wheat harvest in this locality is
fully three weeks away yet and
there is ample time for lots of
thiugs to happen
Oats, of which there is a large
acreage in this vicinity, now looks
like the one best bet. So far
oats do not seem to be injured
even slightly and the yield pro-
mises to be enormous.
Summing up: If weather con-
ditions remain unchanged, the 12
crops will show an average yield
' of around 90 per cent of a full
crop. A good rain in a week
will unquestionably increase this
and assure the crops.

found two ribs had been broken. What
agony Dr. King’s New Discovery
would have saved him. A few tea-
spoonsful ends a late cough, while
persistent use routs obstinate coughs,
expells stubborn colds or heals weak,
sore lungs. ‘I feel sure its a Godsend

ENDS HUNT FOR RICH GIRL
Often the hunt for a rich wife ends
when the man meets a woman that
uses Electric Bitters. Her strong
nerves tell in a bright brain and even
temper. Her peach-bloom complex-
ion and ruby lips rt suit from her pure
blood; her bright eyes from restful
sleep; her elastic step from firm, free
muscles, all telling of the healt h and
strength Electric Bitters gives a wo-
man, and the freedom from indiges-
tion, backach, headache, fainting and
dizzy spells they promote. Every-
where they are woman’s favorite re-
medy. If weak or ailing try them.
50c at all dealers.

One evening a ecriain man
brought home a bottle of boot-
leg whiskey. Being of pretty
color he decided to take a litile
before going to bed Accidentally
however, he spilled some of the
liquid on the tloor, und not feel-
ing inclined to clean it up, he
got in bed. When everything
was quite a little mouse peeped
out of a hole in the corner, cross-
ed the floor and sipped a little
whiskey; in fact, lie cleaned the
floor. Feeling pretty good, he
raised upon his hind iegs, b.ush-
ed his whiskers with his fore
paws and said; "Now where is
I that d--cat?’,—Ex.
Cut the weeds—maybe it will
change your luck.
A Business man told us the
other day that “dry weather will
breed socialists." If that is true
our money’s on Debs.
A very regretable thing to us
is the lack of enthusiasm shown
in the organization and support
of a good ball team and a good
band. Both are asets to a town
and the lack of them is a distinct
liability.
The attempted initiation of the
bill amending the constitution so
as to grant $2,000,000of the pub-
lic building fund for the use of
rural schools, has tailed because
of laca of signatures to tlie peti-
tions. This is regretable as it
meant something big to our rur
al school system.
We’d hate to Incur the enmity
of Guthrie, That town has spent
enough money harassing Okla
lahotna City, to build a capital
and now when it looks like woi k
was about to start on the build;
ing, the dog in the manger is
trying to tie the matter up again
with another election.
Don’t Walt Until The Fall
We are of the opinion that if
you are expecting to attend our
school you cannot give a reason-
able eicuse for postponing en-
tering until fall. We can present
sufficient proof to convince you
that the earlier you start into ob-
tain a practical education, the
better it will be lor you. We
have now almost as large attend-
ance in the summer as in the
winter. We offer every induce
ment in the summer that we of-
fer in the winter. Our past re
cords show that students attend-
ing in June. July and August
make as good progress as those
attending any other three months
in the year. This is due to the
fact that school rooms are cool
and pleasant, and that our teach
ers put forth the same energy in
the summer months as in the
winter. He who enters now will
finish in time for a good position
during the busy fall season.
If you have what you think
would be a reasonable excuse for
not attending school before fall,
let us have it, and we will give
v ou our side of the question. If
we can show you that you can
;,tart into 1913 with more money
and a practical education besides
than you could to continue as you
are until fall and then attend
senool, will we not have done you
a tavor? It has been our life
work solving just such problems
as yours, and qualifying young
men and women to earn three
dollars where they could not
have earned one.
Write us by return mail; tel.l
us contidentally what is hinder-
ing you from entering before
fall. Capital City business Col -
lege, Gnthrie, Okla.
Each age of our lives has its joys
i Old people should be happy- and they
will be if Chamberlain’s Tablets are
taken to strengthen the digestion
and keep the bowels reeular. These
tablets are mild and gentle in their
action and especially suitable for peo-
ple of middle age and older. For
sale by all dealers.
In Memory
(Note—These verses were partly
omitted last week and we present the
entire poem herewith—Editor.)
Words of tongue can never tell
The saddness of bidding our sis-
ter farewell
So sad, so sad, no more to see
The form on earth so dear to me.
But in our minds and thoughts of love
Essie is resting in Heaven above
And such a thought there’s is no con-
solation in
For her soul was pure and tree
from sin.
To God on high she was always true
Willing and ready her duty to dc
She always made joy for husband ant
child .
Never a frown but alway a smile.
Oh! the bitterness of parting
Cannot be driven ’way
Until we meet our loved ones
Where our feet can never stray.
When I no more am drifting
Upon the surging tide
But with Him safely landed
Upon the river side.
When all of life is ended
We’ll a home in Heaven share
And meet our darling loved ones
Who are waiting for us there.
Our sorrow will be over
Our joys will be complete
Oh! may I sit in Heaven
Low down at Jesus feet.
—Mr. and Mrs. Tom Miller.

advises farmers to make all con-

but we do not really believe the
new measure if parsed will make
as much difference as some
people seem to think. At all
events the advantage is with the
