French Aphorisms
The French soldiers are said to
find both amusement and consolation
in the following set of aphorisms:
Of two things one is certain: Either
you're mobilized or you're not mobil-
ized.
If you're mobilized there is no need j
to worry; if you are mobilized, of i
two things one is certain, either
you're behind the lines or you're on
the front.
If you're behind the lines there is
no need to worry; if you're on the |
front, of two things one is certain, |
either you're resting in a safe place j
or you're exposed to danger.
If you're resting in a safe place
there is no need to worry; if you're
xyosed to danger, of two things one
's certain, either you're wounded or
you're not wounded.
• If you're not winded there is no
teed to worry; if You're wounded, of
two things one is certain, either
you're wounded seriously or you're
wounded slightly.
If you're wounded slightly there is
no need to worry; if you're wounded
seriously, of two things one is cer-
tain, either you recover or you die.
If you recover there is no need to
worry; if you die you can't worry.—

Miami, Okla.
Oliver H. Akin was here over Sun-
day visiting his folks, who are visit-
ing relatives here. He is now engaged
in zinc mining near Miami, Okla.,
which he says is now a fine little city
of 12,000 population, and very pros-
perous. The Transcript remembers
it when it was a village of 600, with
little prospect of being any larger.
Concerning the company with which
Oliver is connected the Miami Daily
Herald says:
"The Oklahoma Heart Mining Com-
pany started drilling; at Miami, Okla.
last Friday. This is one of the many
well organized corporations to oper-
ate in the Miami district, which at
this time is regarded as the richest
lead and zinc field in the world. The
company is composed of Shawnee
people. Burly Callahan is the field
manager and Hon. Tom Waldrep,
Oliver H. Akin and Hon. H. H. Smith
are the others taking part in the in-
corporation. They have a lease on the
NE'-i of the NE'i of section 26 T.
29, R 22 E., I. M. It is located near
the Vinegar Hill mine and is in proven
territory."
—Miss Mabelle Taylor has arrived
from Michigan to make her home with
her mother, Mrs. Maggie Tayor, who
has returned to Norman after an ab-
sence of seventeen years, to make it
her permanent home.

Still, it did not seen as fast as if one

Kolstein cows died on his dairy farm,

calving, and something want wrong.
To most of us such a loss would be
most grevious, but Clyde bears it
philosophically, and says, "OK well,
it's all in the game, and tomorrow's
another day."

We are informed that at some cafes, res-
taurants and gardens beer and strong
drinks have been sold under the guise of
the popular soft drink, Bevo.
These reports have been confirmed suf-
ficiently to compel us to take action.
The beverage Bevo enjoys the pro-
tection of both federal and state
authority. In preparing it for sale and
in marketing it, we adopt every possible
precaution to protect the public against
imposition and to prevent evasion of the
law. Bevo is sold in bottles only, we
bottle all of it ourselves, and we have
adopted a kind of bottle, crown and seals
designed to prevent imitation.
We shall omit no measure within our
power to defend the authority under
which Bevo is manufactured and sold,
to protect the public from imposition,
and to safeguard the good name of this
Association.
We therefore give fair warning that we
shall refuse to sell our products to those
who are found guilty of the above
offense.
