Applicable to All Towns.
It takes live men to make a town.
Dead men are only lit to inhabit ceme-
teries. If they are really, decidedly
dead all over, says an exchange, we
tenderly lay them away in the sleep of
the tomb; if they are dead to all enter-
prise and spirit, outside the narrow lines
of their own selfish interest and yet per-
sist in walking around moving their
calloused hearts and conscience where
real business men are wanted to push
and throb with vigor, they are only like
the drone bees, in the way until they
are stung to death and dragged outside
the hive of legitimate industry. Twelve
really live men are worth more to a
town generally than a round thousand
of such useless material that lays around
like rubbish in a rushing stream that is
aching and foaming to run mills and
factories. Live men bless and dead
men curse a town.

Bad Outlook for Wheat.
It is useless to deny that at this time
the outlook for a good wheat crop in
Oklahoma is not flattering for the com-
bined drouth of last fall and excessive
cold winter, have just about finished up
the plant in many fields. Old wheat
raisers say that apparent bad stands of
wheat often come out in excellent shape
in the spring, therefore the wise farmer
will wait a reasonable time before
plowing up his fields. If pleasant weath-
er continues a few days more it will
show whether the prospect is more fav-
orable and if not, then there is an abun-
dance of time to sew the fields in barley,
oats, or still later, corn. The wise far-
