Trade-Day Sale
Saturday, Feb. 24, 1912.
Next Saturday is the monthly T rade-Dav Sale. And remember, it is not only a sale day, but
it is a "bargain day as well. These are indeed hard times and it behooves every man to make
a dollar go as far as possible. The prospects of the new year are bright at this time and indi-
cations point to a good crop and prosperity along all lines. But there is one thing that every
man should do at all times, and especially at this time: Stay out of debt. Don't run a great big
store bill. Buy what you have to have and pay cash. Then when fall comes if we raise a
good crop you won' t owe it all to the other fellow. Our merchants arc making extra strong
inducement for you to come to Mulhall to trade and if you've got a dollar to spend it will pay
you big to take advantage of the many bargains. Come to Mulhall to trade.
Besides considerable property in the way of farming implements such as plows, drills, wagons,
barrows, etc., etc. There will be offered two extra fine Jacks; 5 and 6 years old. Jack
"Farmer Lad" was sired by John Machey's Jack of Polo, Oklahoma, which is the largest jack
in Oklahoma. "Bon Courage" was sired by "Kentucky King", the extra fine jack belonging to
N. Gooch. A full brother of "Bon Courage" sold rcently for $500.00. There will also be offer-
ed one fine 7-year old Chestnut Sorrel roadster stallion. These animals have all been tried and
are guaranteed to be fine breeders. They will be sold worth the money Trade-Day. There
will also be offered for sale two extra fine full blood White Leghorn roosters. This is an oppor-
tunity for anyone interested in the chicken line.
If you have anything to sell of any kind or description, bring it in next Saturday.
Beginning with next 1 rade-Day issue and continuing indefinitely, the Trade-Day Dope will
appear on the top of page three of The State Jourual.
WANTED, MULES.—Elliott & Beach, of Perry will be here to buy Mules. They will also
buy Big Horses and Small Good Horses. Bring in what you have.

INCUBATORS AND
Two lines that we want to call your especial attention to just at this time.
We want you to know that we are headquarters for these goods and have a
complete line in stock, and we want you to come in and figure with us if you
are contemplating using either this spring, as we are sure that we can save you
some money and give you the best goods for the purpose.
INCUBATORS
iiL
We have the Favorite" Incubators, made by the Lehy Manufactory Co.; of
Higg.nsville, Mo., guaranteed to be made of the best California Redwood and
i9iUnT«ned J°ooe^th0 b0^mdterialthatthey can buy" We have three sizes!
mu, ibU and ZZO egg. They are made with the brooder so you can take it out.
I he regulator is at the end, leaving the top clear so that in cold weather you
can spread a carpet over it, or something to hold the heat and also it is handy to
set the tray on top to turn the eggs; making it much handier than one where
the governing device is on top. Last year, we sold one of the 160 egg size with
which our customer hatched all but three eggs out of the 160. How is that for
a hatch ?
PAINT
We have put in a stock of Hockaday Paint, a paint made exclusively for the
southwest, and guaranteed. If that house of yours, or barn, needs painting you
better ccme in and let us figure with you for the best paint you ever had. We
can f.t you out with any kind you want; house paint, barn paint, wagon or carri-
age paint. Colors ground in oil. No lap varnish, handy lack enamels. Last but
the greatest of all, is our Interior" paint, a paint made especially for the
interior walls plastering, and you can wash it with soap if you wish, and scratch
matches on it if you want to, and not hurt your finish. Come in and let us show
you, if you are from Missouri.

Yours for business,

The Storm King Raged.
Did you think spring had real-
ly come after the balmy weather
of Sunday and Monday? If you
are new to this country, you pro-
bably did; most of us made the
same mistake when we first came
to the "land of the fair god", but
we got wiser in time and now it is
pretty hard to fool the old-timer
with the early spring talk. Okla-
homa is notorious for its great
variety of climate conditions and
its radical changes. In another
column, we have told you what a
delightful day Sunday was; Mon-
day was almost as nice, and peo-
ple went about town in their hap-
piest frame of mind, believing
spring had come. But what a
change took place Tuesday! Early
in the morning it begun to rain,
later turning to sleet, and by 8
;o'clock a full-grown, fully devel-
oped blizzard was upon us, and
j by noon the ground was covered
to a depth of from three to five
inches with snow and slush. The
wind accompanying the storm
was cutting and severe. It was a
fearful day on stock and no
doubt there will be much suffer-
ing. The drop in temperature
' was not so severe, but the cold
I wind made it appear very cold.
(The snow and sleet fall will pro-
duce a great deal of moisture and
j be of untold benefit to wheat,
placing the soil in good condition'
So, spring is not here yet for a
time.
i Sunday proved a beautiful day.
Early in the morning there was
ian appearance of rain, but the
'sun quickly dispelled the clouds
and the day was as bright and
sunshiny as a day in June. Some
say we will yet have winter
weather Lefore the real spring
and summer season conies, but
we hope it will pass us by.
