is composed of sixty animals, I
including three bulls; aH are reg
istered Jerseys, and several were
imported for the Island. Pri-
marily, the object of this enter-
prise was to provide milk for the
hospital community of about
1,000 persons, but its import-
ance will be far-reaching in the
opportunity it will afford for the
purchase of Jersey stock of the
highest class by Oklahoma farm-
ers.
The individuals in this herd
were purchased in four or five
different states. The herd is
headed by Beatrice's Noble Jol-
ly No. 106899. He is of richly
bred Golden Lad blood, a grand-
son of Noble of Oaklands; his
dam is Golden Beatrice 2nd, a
double grand-daughter of Gold-
en Lad.
The cows are mostly of Flying
Fox and Eminent blood. Among
them is Fiorina's Lucy, imported
from the Island, and sired by
Lucy's Champion. A handsom-
er cow of the dairy type cannot
be found.
Monica's Princess, also import-
ed, shows all the points of the
great milk cow of the Jersey
breed.

'TIS A GOOD WORLD, AFTER ALL
If you are in a hurry, don't get behind a lame man.
"Hitch your chariot to a star." Beware of the sneerer and
the scoffer. Seek the man who believes in things that are
good and who is trying to ?riake everything else better, by
deeds and words.
Come into the sunshine for a little while. It is a good
world after all. You have had hard luck, ill health and hard
blows, but open your ledger and see if the credit doesn't
overbalance the debit side.
Be frank with yourself and see how much of the debits
can be charged to your own fault—a lack of foresight, trust-
ing the untrustworthy, overreaching selfishness, stupidity,
extravagance, failure to learn by experience or refusal to
profit by advice.
Take a few precious' moments for self-examination.
Don't mourn because some one who started in life with fewer
advantages than you had has done so much better. Think
of those you have left behind in the race. Yours must be a
hopeless case if you are last in line.
Happiness is from within, not from without. No great-
er happiness can be found than that which comes from the
sweet content of right thinking, right living and a good con-
science. Try it! See how warm and inviting its sunshine is!
