Back to Our First Love
We want to call the attention
of the readers of this paper to
the fact that we have returned
t on  • Irst love this week and
*„.ining the old head over
the newspaper. Two weeks ago
we changed the head and added
to the hosts with a few well
chosen remarks by C. N. Hew
itt, he being the instigator of
the occasion. At a late hour all
departed for their homes and
Mr. and Mrs. Evans were unan-
imously announced royal enter-
tainers.

Shipped Carload Hog*
Wedeman Brothers, Homer
Thomason, A. Lechtenberger
and other farmers of the Rich-
land neighborhood, were hauling
hogs to Yukon Monday and load-
ing a car which was shipped to
the Oklahoma City market.
These farmers co-operate and
find it a saving in money, time
and shrinkage to ship their hogs
from Yukon. Any one of the
group would probably be unable
to get an entire load of hogs to-
gether at one time, so they find
it profitable and agreeable to
co-operate together and ship an
entire carload instead of haul-
ing their individual stock to the
market in a wagon overland.

Ruling for Claim Payments
L. J. Adams, local agent lor
the C., R. I. & P. railway, re-
ceived the following from the
head office this week regarding
the payment of claims for loss,
damage or delay:
"Under a recent ruling of the
Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion we are prohibited from pay-
ing claims for loss, damage or
delay, unless claims are present-
ed to us within four months al-
ter date of shipment, in accord-
the word ''weekly." All .orts"of jwith Section 3 of the Uni-
hot shots came our way fromi'orin °' Lading.

Leaguers Enjoy Themselves
The Epworth League held aj
v ery interesting and enjoyable j (iuite
-ocial Friday evening in the
league room of the M. E. church.
It was "college night," so col-
lege yells and songs were given
lustily by the opposing schools
—Harvard and Yale. Each
school held various athletic con-
tests which were followed by a
final contest between the win-
ners of the preliminary con-
test. Evelyn McKinney won in
the vocal contest, Willie Cox in
the hoop throwing contest, For-
rest Adkisson in the blowing
contest and Archie Treadway in
the corn race. A feature of ad-
ded humor was the awarding of
the various tribes, U. S. at-
torney Haydon Linebaugh, Com-
missioner Sells and others have
discussed the best method of ap-
pointing these.
The probate system of the
state is declared to be responsi-
ble for the hundreds of cries of
fraud which have been sent ring-
ing out over tt\e country much
to the discredit of the state. It
has been maintained all along
that if the state would do its
part toward strengthening pro-
bate court procedure, cause for
these cries would be removed
as frauds prepetrated against
Indian minors could be checked.
An attempt was made at the last
legislature to meet the situaton.
In the absence of state laws the
cfepartment officials have set
about to do all they can to fur-
ther guard the Indians and their
property.

Tomorrow is positively the
last day we will give one of Dr.
Cook's books as a premium with
this paper one year for $1.00.
The premium is absolutely the
best ever given the readers of
this paper and we have carried
this offer for over thirty days,
so that every reader might have
an opportunity to get one. The
story as written by Dr. Cook is
a real story of a struggle against
death in the boreal wilds. It is
very educational in that it ex-
plains the life of the northern-
most man and tells of his habits
and means of existence. It gives
a complete description of the en-
tire country, even to the center
of the earth, where Dr. Cook
placed the stars and stripes for
the first time by man.
There is one thing to remem-
ber: You must advance you sub-
scription to one year in advance
from the fifteenth of November
or later to secure this premium.
The expense of these books
makes this necessary. Come in
early and gel your book.

It is a law of nature that we
should work. Idle men soon
drift into bad habits and as a
rule end their days in prison or
in an insane asylum. The busy
man is contented and happy for
the reason that he finds no time
to be otherwise. There are some
who regard work as a hardship
and a curse, whereas it is a
man's greatest blessing.

evening can be expected. Your-
