This matter of cutting the weeds
is growing in importance every day
even as the weeds are growing. They
are unsightly, unsanitary, and unnec-
essary.

Hurray for 1776.
Who said dog days come in August,
they're here now.
Dr. Askew says the city health of-
fice is on a big tear and for every-
body to get out of the way—he's
cleaning up the town—with a wagon
and a shovel, not a gun.
Down in Washington they have
just waked up to the fact that there
is a steel trust. We knew that in Hu-
go when the town was founded and
that was ten years ago.
■ Jupe Pluvius is off on another va-
cation so its seems.
Long as Peruna would cure the
blues it had a good sale.
Why does every man greet you
with "Its awful hot today isn't it?"
And you feel like saying, "Of course
it is, you damphool." but instead you
answer, "Oh yes indeed", and feel
like an idiot right after for making
an answer to such an evident fact.
tered here, but they will reappear
hereafter, aglow with a new splendor.
Every dream, every hope, every
purpose—all shall find realization at
last. Every shadow shall grow light;
all loneliness shall iind a presence
that shall be company and joy. The
bud which is now nipped by frost
shall yet bloom in beauty and sweet-
ness. The fruit which does not get
ripe in this climate shall yet ripen
under the summer skies of immortal-
ity.
Somewhere, sometime, somehow,
we shall all attain to all that God
ever gives us of sweet and true and
beautiful.'—Exchange.

Well, the court house will be start
ed in less than sixty days.
Don't forget to cut your weeds—
there's liable to be a little pinday.
It is almost insulting nowadays to
ask a man if he has been a-fishing.
Oklahoma is the only state in the
union where precedent has no weight.
So far as modern science knows,
the only thing that doesn't like music
is a dog.
What you can do today, do it, for
tomorrow it may be hotter than— it
was today.
Our idea of a pessimist is a man
who finds fault with another because
he laughs.
Where are the boys who used to
get together in the afternoon and go
swimmin'?
Frenzied Society in Hugo seems to
have moved out of doors or to the
banks of the Kiamichi.
Remember, Hugo is going to have a
great big Fourth as well as other
towns. Stay at home.
A judge down east says a man can
legally get drunk on his birthday. For
"Ye must be born again."
Grand Chief Engineer Stone of the
locomotive Engineers said the other
day in a speech that the nation was
going speed mad. That surely sounds
queer from the leader of the fastest
moving aggregation in the world
Maybe thats why he knows.
A doctor in Matteawan, New York,
found $40,000 in hit cellar yesterday.
Does any one imagine such secret
treasures exist in Hugo? One fellow
the other day said he found a skunk
in iiis cellar and another said he had
a mortgage on his.
o
An ugly man came into a restaurant
here the other day, and after he had
gone a guest asked the proprietor:
"What's wrong with that fellow?"
"He has humor in his blood," was the
reply. Guess he's right, for there is
evidently considerable something in
this old world, and much of it is bad.
It must be "humor."
To the legislature we would very
humbly suggest that, inasmuch as
the dog days are coming and tempo-
rary insanity is so prevalent, that
the passage of a law with an emer-
gency clause attached absolutely pre-
venting all newspapers from again
using the threadbare, worn out, de-
cripid old hackney "Swat the Fly."
We suggest that any editor guilty of
the offense be swatted himself.
Fourteen girls in the Kansas bind-
ing department certainly believe in
"binding." They all got married.
Don't forget that the fiddler must
be paid. He has grocery bills to set-
tle and babies to feed just as you do.
The modern bush-whacker is the
man who "gives away" the bootleg-
ger because he has just run out of
booze.
As long as Arkansas has Jeff Davis
in the senate, just that long will na-
tives of that state lie about their
birth place.
Criticism after criticism has been
made of American heiresses for the
business like method used in pursu-
ing foreign titles by their sisters
across the water. It is now the turn
of the fair ones on this side, a cer-
tain Lady Abby has just made formtl
business proposal through her lawyer
for the hand, and title of the Earl of
Hartford who will soon be the Mar-
quis of Hartford. She went one bet-
ter than her fair competitors in this
country for she made a stipulation
that she should not oe divorced. The I
earl, who will be recalled as the im-1
l>< cunlous and libertine husband of
Alice Thaw, refused th.e proposition.
There are some pessimists who can
not enjoy the summer breeze for
grieving over all the wind that is go-
ing to waste.
One of the first indications that a
man is getting old is manifested when
he wants to read aloud the daily pa-
per to those about him.
He who makes it a business to
deal freely in lemons is of about as
much use to the community as a yel-
lar dog that won't stay at home.
It looks as if it would take a whole
lot of wire pulling for the eighty-four
wire manufacturers recently indict-
ed in New York to get them free.
Help Dr. Askew in his commendato-
ry efforts to keep Hugo clean
and sweet. The doctor is
out, or rather his men,
several days of every week with a
wagon and they are trying to gather
up all the rubbish and trash in sight
When you get it gathered up call the
wagon. In most cities it is custo-
mary for property owners to g their
own hauling of trash and this oppor-
tunity should be seized with eager-
ness. At present the number of va-
cant lots in Hugo with uncut weeds
is appalling. Weeds are one of the
finest things in the world for mos-
quitos to propogate in. Their unsight-
liness is far from being the least of
their evils. The man that lets weeds
grow on his property, in the words of
the gentleman of Oyster Bay with the
tombstone teeth, is an "undesirable
citizen." If he lets them grow on his
home place he is worse—he is shift-
less. Cut the weeds and keep them
cut.
GET PARIS A NEW ENGINEER.
A recent issue jbf the Paris Daily
Advocate continued the saddening
report of their city engineers in re-
gard to the possibilities of piping wa-
ter into Paris from adjacent rivers.
In his venom he attacked Red River,
Boggy, Blue and others. Then he took
up Kiamichi river, Kiamichi, the
beautiful, ever running stream of the
Southwest, that lovely, silver river
that knows no polution until defiled
by the filthy Ked. And he "knocked"
Kiamichi and insinuated that she was
not dependable. And then the Advo-
cate followed up his report and stated
that it was understood that Hugo was
having trouble with the water supply
and that the Kiamichi was getting
very low. Oh green eyed jealousy!
And at the very moment that story
was being written the Kiamichi was
on a rise and had been for several
days. And furthermore Hugo has
not been in the least danger of being
[ out of water all summer long, stands
in no danger now and if we don't have
another rain for two months, or even
three months, Hugo will have plenty
of water. Why just to show how
much water we have and to spare we
are shipping every day, and have been
for months, fourteen cars of the fluid
to Paris—not to speak of an equal
amount to various other towns near
Paris. Hugo is the only town in
America with a railroad water rate!
It certainly doesn't look as if the
railroads would be giving a dry town
a water rate.
The main trouble with our Parisian
friends is that they are so afraid that
Hugo will take all their factories
away from her that they are in a
"blue funk." It is becoming a recog-
nized fact that Hugo will be the big
town and metropolis of this section
in the course of a few years more
and it irks our friends across the Rod
to make up their minds to the inevi-
i table fact. Don't you care Paris—
when you are a suburb of Hugo we
will see that you don't famish for
thirst. And another thing, remember
this: While you have been down "and
open to your enemies" Hugo has not
adopted the policy of throwing bricks
but has always been kindly and con-
siderate. Hugo has done little brag-
ging about that water she has been
sending you every day, so just take
your hands off for there is no telling
how far we might scatter the humi-
lat.ng facts if we took a notion.
The post office at Clarksville, Tex.,
has just been elevated from the third
class' to the second class and three
extra clerks placed upon regular sala-
ries.
Mrs. Jess Morgan of Yarnaby, Bry-
an county, Okla., tried for an hour
Wednesday to drown herself in the
river but without avail, owing to the
shallowness of the stream. Her small
dog guided rescuers to her.
Durant estimates her expenses for
the coming year $50,000. That's less
than Harry Thaw spent on a year's
cigarette supply.
The Frisco railroad has consumated

whereby the former will be able to

A famine of silver coins is threat-
ened in the North Pacific states and
banks in Oregon. Washington and
Montana are appealing to the treas-
ury department to ship dimes quar-
ters and half dollars to relieve the
situation.
Congress has made no appropria-
[ tion for thansporting the coin and
treasury officials say they can-
not come to the relief unless congress
takes some action. The treasury
fornjerly paid for such transportation
but saves about $300,000 a year by
not doing it now.
The two Abernaty kids, Temple

Ex-Governor Hoch of Kansas says

Our reports indicate that he Is losing

misconstrued the gentleman's lan-

The worst thing a correspondent in

LIFE.
This life is a highway leading out
into the citizenship immortality.
Any human being who has placed
his feet upon the royal highway of
life, even though his existence be the
poorest, the commonest, the most re-
stricted sort of an existence possible,
has received a gift past all campu
tation. Beyond all Imaginable value
—the mysterious gift of life.
He has before him all that eternity
means to a child of the inflnate God;
and this infinite God Is under infin
ite responsibility to do all He can to
make this mysterious gift of life to
His child an unspeakable blessing.
The magnificent fact of another
life sets a rainbow of hope against ail
the adverse conditions of this life.
The question as to whether or not
God's government is good becomes as
nothing in the face of the certainty
of another life, and the chance of an
I mortal evolution.

Judge T. J. Freeman, now head of
the T. & P. and I. and G. X. Rail-
roads, has the following to say on the |
subject of advertising.
"Newspaper publicity is the only i
publicity that reaches the masses of
the people. Through the newspapers
we can talk to them all. We want
to reach them. The newspapers tell
the people about the world, educate |
them and make them want to travel.
We shall talk to the people through!
our newspaper advertisements morel
than ever before."
Judge Freeman but gives voice to J
what all successful business men i
have long ligo found out. In fact, the I
advertising on the many little
schemes are being discarded in near-1
ly all towns and cities, or are look-1
ed upon as a chalrity contribution.
The newspaper goes into the home,
and, as Judge Freeman put it. "is the I
only publicity that reaches the mass
of the people."—Denison Herald.
