Murray Sentiment
Predominates
Mr. J. L. Tttllis representing
the Wichita Morning Tribune
was a pleasant \ isitor on last Sun-
ay. Mr. Tullis is traveling over
the Western and Southwestern
part of Oklahoma as his territory
and unhesitatingly declares the
'iill Murray sentiment for Okla-
homa's next Governor largely
predominates, and is still grow-
ing all over that section. 1'hat is
the way the sentiment seems to
he prevailing all over the State.
The people of the State know
Win. H. Murray and are proud
of the record he has made as
President of the Constitutional
Convention, as speaker of the first
house of representatives and
the Congress of the United States
and then he has 110 harnicles in
the way of grafters hanging on
to mar the even tenner of his
way.

"I am mighty forry, Uncle Dan, thnt
this is your last night with us. Can't
you stay longer? We boys are haviag
a peach of a time," suid Billie.
"Well, if you gi-t more out of it In
the way of pit ire than I," said Un-
cle Dnn, "you ; .• going some."
"Billie, I hnv< b;>en talking seriously
with your fnlbi 1 Nmd mother about
sending you to . illltary academy and
they asked me 10 talk with you about
it." '
"Whoopee!" Billie sen ned, like a
wild Indian.
"Now, hold your horses,'' suid Uncle
Dan, "and listen to me. You know I
sent my boy, Howard, to one of these
schools for a year when he was about
your age. He was narrow chested,
stoop shouldered, luther loose jointed;
lie bad the big head and needed dis-
cipline and physical development. He
was growing fast and I wanted him to
be strong physically."
"Say, Uncle Dnn," said Billie, "I be-
lieve your description of Howard fits
me pretty well, eh?"
"Well," said Uncle Dan, "to be frank
I think it does; you need the same
thing. Howard did not like It at first. I
am told for a few weeks he had 'rough
sledding,' but after he found that the
only way was to obey orders, he caught
the spirit of the institution and liked
it. We did not see him for about six
months, then he came home for a few
days. We were astonished at his ap-
pearance. He had gained about 20
pounds in weight, bis muscles were as
hard as nails, he stood as straight as
an arrow, he was courteous, consider-

Mrs. M. J. Holland took dinner
with E. T. Turner and family on
last Monday while M. J. took
Sam Estes out to look ""ir some
road improvements.
Hon. 1. B. Charles, Pres. of the
Stroud National Bank left Tues-
day via Oklahoma City, for Kan-
sas City, Mo. on a business trip.
Last Monday was an ideal day
and many of our tenant farmers
! took advantage of it and moved
I to their new location for the new
' year.
ite nnd manly. His awkwardness had
disappeared. The change was wonder-
ful and it was all to the good. Hern
is a photograph showing 'before and
■sfter taking,' and I um sure no patent
medicine advertisement could heat It.
"Well, mother aud I were delighted.
That was ton years ago, and Howard
cays the year he spent at the military
academy was the best year of his life.
"Now," suid Uncle Dan, with great
?arnestness, "when such training does
to much good, makes better citizens and
it the same time fits a man to defend
his country, why should not Uncle Sam
furnish this training at the govern-
ment's expense? The government has
the right to call anyone to serve in
ease of war, nnd without training, a
man Is worth nothing as a soldier. Un-
cle Sam has splendid new training
camps that will soon be available for j
the purpose, therefore, here is double 1
reason why the Chamberlain bill for j
compulsory military training should bo
yassed at once, so that every boy phy-
•icnlly fit may have this training and
not leave It for his parents to pay for.
On aceonnt of the expense, not one boy
in !i0 can take the training now. I am
glad that you can do so. These big
crops nnd big prices, I find, make the
farmers rather 'cooky,' and that the
best Is demanded by them."
Billie was up with the lark the next
morning, more excited nnd enthusiastic
than ever. He had a plan. He knew
Jtmmle owned a colt worth $100; thnt
he would make nlmost another $100 on
his potatoes If they turned out well,
and that he had from his previous
savings, bought a $100 Liberty bond,
lilllie's plan was to have Jtmmle cash
In and go with him. Ho was disap-
pointed to find that Jimmle would still
lack nbout $300 of having enough to
see him through. His lip quivering, be
laid: "I'm mighty sorry to leave Jim-
oiie."
Vncle Dan was silent a moment or
two, tlwti he asked Billie to go down
to the orchard and get him sonm ap-
ples to cat on the train. While he wa
tone, it was arranged that Uncle Dan
ind Mr. nnd Mrs, Graham would ad-
rance the money necessary so that
Jimmle could go. When Billie returned
le was told about It. He ran to the
phone nnd called Jimmle, saying:
"Come on over, rtin Just as fast as you
•an, I've got the greatest news you
iver heard of."

Qualify is the True Test
Of Cheapness!
S
Price can often be used as a strong argument in
in some lines of business, because a chcaper |
grade often answers the purpose of the customer.
But in the drug businesss it is different. Cheap
drugs will never take the place of pure high-
grade ones. Qualitv—regardless of price—should
be the chief consideration of careful drug buyers. g
What you buy here in the line of drugs and |
medicines will be of right quality, and the price
asked wil! be right, too, |
Right goods, right service and right prices are g
usually closely associated. Come here for Drugs
and Sundries. g
