Ben Alexander lias platted o new Add! Jon to t
City of Prague on Barta Avenue, the public thor-
oughfare of the city, cornering with the town site <>i
Prague, only a few minutes walk to the center of U
city and postoffice,
he location is lovely, elevated, well drained, healthy and con-
venient; water good anywhere in 12 to 25 feet of the surface. A
superb location nothing better—and uneqnaled for a desiral u
residence property.
Now is the Time to Make a Selection.
It'.s well known that Prague is the best town in Lincoln
county, dues more business, handles more cotton and farm pi t
ducts than any other town in the adjoining counties.
Prague is growing rapidly, putting in waterworks; will soon
be a railioad division town and an oil null will go in. Proper! v
is bound in advance. A fine opportunity lor investments. Pc>|
ulation will double in th.? next two or three years. With anotln
railroad property will double. Now is the time ;to get in ti e
the procession ot advancement that is to come, his is one of the
Finest Home Locations in the City, Don't miss it

addition. Call on or address

The American Eagle is being groomed for the occasion

CHAS. P1TTMAN, OF ENID WILL SPEAK
And Prague will celebrate in a style becoming the state.
The American eagle has made Columbia the brightest gem of
the ocean—the very name is a synonim for greatness, achieve
ment and honor. From the topmost towering heights of the ore
stored Rockies the old national bird spreads his cloud-bathed pin-
ions amid multi floral rainbow lines and frost-wrought splen-
dors. He utters his defy to all the world. From Alaskas snows
and fields of gold to the Honduran gulf where lives the undying
robes of ever green spring; at the same time his pean is heard in
evcrv court of e;:rth, and before his glance China and Japan
quails; and he shakes his tail in the face ol astonished Europe.
Com^ out, c\< rybodv,and be happy beneath the
folds of Old Glory
That waves in every part anil gleams in beauty around the
world, and to which every nation bows its color in recognition.
Yes, come out and let us "honor the brave boys who ea.ried the
flag through storm and battle over land |and sea and under its
ripp!i-i« folds have fought above the clouds. Come old and young.
i amie has never tailed to celebrate and won't fail now
