The State Superintendent of Public
instruction has finished making the
apportionment for common schools
for the six months ending June 30th.
Fifty cents per capita was apportion-
ed. This is by far the largest summer
apportionment ever made. It reflects
great credit on the management of
the School Land affairs for the accu-
mulate n of this much money. The
state treasurer will immediately be-
gin sending out checks to the various
counties and will send them out in
alphabetical order.
There is a pretty good chance for
Carney to get another rural route
and perhaps two if the people of the
town will go after them. If they
want them they will get busy while
there is a chance to secure them,
and if they don't think they will
benefit the town and don't care for
them, they will let the neighboring
town who want them and are working
for them take them away from us.
It is about time for Carney to wake
up and- get busy.
A wild cat hunt and a Jack rabbit
chase is being planned for Pres'dent
Taft when he visits the Tift ranch
near San Antonio next November.
The wild and wooly Texans will give
the President the time of his life
when he visits them.
We understand there will be a
protracted meeting at the Christian
chur:h in the near future, prepara-
tions to that effect are being made.
Most of the sick in town and vi-
cinity we learn, are improving.

Some one who has studied the
peculiar faculties of the country
school ma'am, pays her the follow-
ing eulogy : She must be primary,
intermediate, grammer grade and
high school teacher combined; she
must be able to build fires, adjust
(allen stove-pipes, put in window
panes, sweep, dust, split kindling,
drive a horse, know how, when and
where to whip a bad boy, understand
the school laws, raise money for
libraries, keep all records, plant
trees on Arbor Day, be of good moral
character, and pass an examination
in all branches of modern education,
for $30 a month. Out of this she
pays her board, buys her clothes, at-
tends the summer schools, buys ed-
ucational papers, furnishes pencils
for the pupils and treats them at
Christmas. The rest she adds to
her bank account.
Tabernacle Meeting Closed.
The Tabernacle meeting which had
been held by the Baptist in this place
the past two weeks, suddenly closed
Sunday night. Services were to
have been held Monday night, but
rain interferred. Tuesday morning
the tent was taken down and removed.
Revs Davis and Reeves worked hard
to convince the people of the error
of their ways.
While the meeting was not as suc-
cessful in one way as was hoped for
it, it has not been in vain, as much
good no doubt will be the result.
The "devil wagons" are getting in
their work in the larger cities, kill-
ing people every day. It seems to
be a bard matter to bring the speed
of the autimobile under control.
The National Monthly, of which
Chairman Norman E. Mack of the
Democratic National Committee is
the editor and publisher, contains in
*ts August number, now on the news
stands, an excellent article cn Kate
Barnard of Oklahoma. The article
is from the pen of Frank E. Vaughan,
a brilliant writer, andhighly com-
plimentary to Oklahoma's popular
woman State Charity Commissioner,
as well as to Oklahoma. Mr. Vaug-
han came to know Miss Barnard
when she was investigating slum con-
ditions in St. Louis during the world's
fair year, and wrote of her work for
one of the St. Louis papers at that
time. He wat recently in attend-
ance at the National Conference of
Charities and Corrections, in the
East, where Miss Barnard was a
central figure, and he writes of this
energetic little woman through an
intimate knowledge of what she has
done and is doing. Mr. Vaughan
has also visited Oklahoma on several
occasions and he pays high tribute
to the wide-awake, hustling methods
of Oklahomans in general.

ber of the National Monthly fro

tional Monthly, Buffalo, N. Y., and

ures of Senator and Mrs. Gore and

them, will be sent to Oklahoma free.
A girl recently walked five miles
through the rain to get married.
She will probably not have to walk
over a quarter of a mile to get an
armful of wood or milk the cow
soon—and still she'll kick !
Do it Yourself.
"Young Man," says Col.
Bright, "You had better put
your money in the bank, be-
cause it will get there anyhow
whether you put it there or
not." Do you realize how
much truth there is to this
statement? Do you know
that the wealthy men of the
United States handle their
money almost entirely throu
the bank. I think you will
admit also that the wealthy
men of the country are also
the smart men. The smart,
wideawake men are the ones
who get your money. Most
of your money is spent with
business men. These busi-
ness men invariably take your
money when they get it and
put it in the bank. Why not
put it in the bank yourself?
The men who put your money
in the bank for you get lots
of benefit out of it. Why not
get this benefit yourself. You
are not to young to commence
—neither are you too old.
Try it.
