HAPPY MOTHERHOOD
Thehappinessof motherhood istoooften
checked because the mother's strength is
not ecjual to her cares, while her unselfish
devotion neglects her own health.
It is a duty of husband or friend to see
that she gets the pure medicinal nourish-
ment in Scott's Emulsion, which, is not
a drug or stimulant but nature's con-
centrated oil-food tonic to enrich and en-
liven the blood, strengthen the nervesand
aid the appetite. Physicians everywhere
prescribe Scott's Emulsion for* over-
worked, nervous, tired women; it builds
up and holds up their strength.
Get Scott's at your nearest drug store.

When your liver becomes torpid
and sluggish, yau can take calomel
and whip it into action, but the calo-
mel will leave your body weaker and
sicker than ever. Calomel is a very
powerful drug, a form of mercury, and
need never be used because there is
a perfect remedy to take the place of
calomel, that has all of calomel's good
medicinal effects with none of it
dangerous and uncertain follow-up*
Its name is Dodson's Liver Tone.
Fred Reed sells Dodson's Live
Tone with the guarantee that if you
don't find that it treats yoi much bet
ter than calomel, lie will give you
your money back with a smile. Dod-
son's Liver Tone is a true tonic for
the liver, purely vegetable, and with
such a pleasant taste that it is no
trouble to get children to take it. It
is absolutely impossible for it to do
anyone any harm.

COTTON BUYING IS UP TO
COMMITTEES.
At the cotton meeting Wednesday
afternoon at the Metropolitan theatre
in Oklahoma ( ity, it was decided that
the best method of taking care of the
present cotton situation would be to
appoint a committee from each con-
gressional district, and that these com-
mittees shall be given full charge 01
the "Buy-a-Bale" movement in their
districts. A motion by G. A. Ram-
sey, member of the state board of ag-
riculture to this effect, and an amend-
ment to the motion which stated thai
the committees should consist of a
banker, a farmer and a merchant, met
with the hearty approval of the meet-
ing, and the chair ordered that such
action should be taken. Those wish-
ing to buy a bale of cotton will be
asked to make their purchase through
the committee in the district where
the cotton is bought. The committees,
in addition to buying cotton, will ar-
range for storage facilities and will
dispose of the cotton whenever the
market has been stimulated to such
extent as to make the sale profit-
ably or at least to prevent any loss to
him.
The committee named from con-
gressional district No. 5 is as follows:
Dr. T. B. Howell, physician, Davis;
hairman; J. H. Johnston, merchant,
OklahomaCity; R. C. Varnsdale. farm

may follow. Numerous
cases of consumption, pneu-

A SUCCESSFUL REUNION.
The Old Settlers reunion and the
agricultural exhibit under the manage-
ment of the County Farmers Institute
held here last Friday and Saturday
was largely attended.
The best part of the whole affair was
the splendid agricultural, stock and
poultry exhibits.
The speaking program for the two
days was not carried out according
o previous announcement on account
)f the inability of the speakers to get
here. Senator Kendrick of Tulsa
poke Friday and W. C. Stevens of
Lawton spoke on Saturday.
A complete list of the winners in
the different departments is published
Isewhere in this issue.
The peed
today is in
leadership.
The farm is the power h
progress and the birthplace
is noble.
The farm is the nursery of civiliza-
tion and the parsonage of all religions
denominations.
The farmer asks no special privil-
eges. The business of farming only
wants the same opportunities afford-
ed other lines of industry.
It is as much a duty of the country
pastor to exhort us to own a home
hile on earth as it is to inspire us
to build a mansion in the skies
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful influ
ences that the farmer must utilize to
their fullest capacity before he can
tccupy a commanding position in pub-
lic affairs.
