About Dr. Carpenter
In the the building now occupied
by the Obltwood Hros Cafe in the
early days of this town wai a drug
store, ran by Dr. J. D, Carpenter.
Doc was quite a character, He Is one
of those fellows who make strong
friends and bitter enemies and he
has many of both yet around Garber.
The first that many here ever heard
of Socialism came through Doc as he
sat among hiR|druft8 and pill boxes and
talked of mighty menacing evils that
beset mankind, lie was considerably
pessimistic and not a little impatient
because the world didn't see what he
did but he was always a happy cuss,
as are all true lovers of their fellow-
men. It was his delight to get in an
argument and plague and torment bis
debator with his ever ready wit and
sarcasm. One day he aroused the
combatlveness and anger of a man,
well known to the community, to such
an extent that the gent recklessly
called the Doctor an anarchist, with
Um result that Doc gave him a right-
band jab and floored the patriotic
citizen. Ooc aU., floored many other
citizens, figuratively, w Jt is as useless
40 debate with a Well posted and retidy
witted man on Socialism 'as on the
Bible. (If you can't figure that out,
ask a school boy to help you.) >

lishing "Pointers" a tr B dally pap«r.
It does not go through the poat oflice
but Is distributed on the streets free
andktoptupby the advertisers. This
week on our exchange table
we found a copy of "The Workers'
Call" a weekly Socialist paper, with
J. D. Carpenter managing editor, and
published at Wichita. It 1b spicy and
witty and has the marks of Doc all
over it. In the"Womans Department'
ta a clever article on "letting ma
Yote" by Mrs. Carpenter. In another
place we read that five Socialists have
ja II sentences hanging over their
beads for speaking on the streets of
Wichita and Doc's name is among
then. Their trial comes up in dis-
trict court on December tOth.

WE GLEANED THE PLATTER
The Oklahoma exhibits at'the Int-
ernational Dry Farming Congress held
recently at Kethbridge, Canada, seem
to have captured a great many prizes.
Competing with practically every
state in the Union and with sixteen
republics representing all tbecontiu>
outs, Oklahoma came out of the con-
test with flying colors. Oklahoma
had tlfty-two entries and won forty-
two prizes. I'retty fair for a new
state, wasn't It? Canada's wheal
took first but Oklahoma captured
third place. Oklahoma took first place
on corn, broomcorn, Kafir corn, milo
maize, feterlts, cotton, alfalfa, sweet
potatoes, apples, cowpeas, millet and
various grasses. Tillman county won
second on counts or district display.
And to top this off the next Inter
national Dry Farming Congress will
be held In Oklahoma.—Oklahoma

THE SILENT MAX
Judge Hinktum makes uo foolish
breaks, no blunders bad or shocking;
he goes his way dav after day, and no
one hears him talking. He .answers
"no" in accents low; when someone
asks a question cr murmurs "yes aa in
distress from verbal indigestion. lie
won't debate, lie won't orate, or break
his solemn quiet; he shakes his head-
all has been said—he wants no wordy
riot. So in the town tie has renown as
being crammed with knowledge; his
bunch of brains more lore contains
than Yale or Harvard college. We're
proud of him, this jurist grim, this
man who never chatters; the referee
and umpire he is all our village mat-
ters. The dames are proud when he
has bowed in stately recognition; if
Hinktum stands and shakes your hands
be betters your condition. Yet this
old boy, our pride and joy, whom some
consider greater thau VAmto kor G.
Plnchot. is but a selling plater. If he
should drain his massive brain anjJ
take out all that's in it he woulJu't
peed, to dp the deed, much more than
half a minute. Oh, just look wise and
you will rise and have good things be
fore you;'but talk too muoli and you're
in Dutch, and no ppe will adore you.

TWAIN AND THE TYPEWRITER.
It was in 1874, during a famous trip
to Boston with Dr. Twitchell, that
Mark Twain saw for the first time
what was then a new invention—a
typewriter; or it may have been dur
lng a subsequent visit, a week or two
later. The famous humorist began to
practice on the machine, and he wrote
two letters—one to William Dean Ho-
wells and the other to Orion Clemens.
In the latter he says: "I am trying to
get the hang of this new-fangled writ-
ing machine, but I am not making a
shining success of it. However, this
Is the first attempt I have ever made,
and yet I perceive that I shall soon
easily acquire a fine facility in its
use. I saw the thing In Boston the
other day, and was greatly taken
with it." He goes on to explain the
new wonder, and. on the whole, his
first attempt was a very creditable
performance. ^yith his usual enthusi-
asm over an innovation, he believes
It Is going to be a great hSJp to him.

The Hallow'een Social
If there was a person who attended
the Hallow'een social at the residence
of B. A. Garber Friday night and
didn't have a good time, he was most
unnatural, for it seemed to us that
everybody juBt naturally had the time
of their life, The costumes of the
maskers were amusing and some very
olever. And really the most fun of
the evening was finding out "who's
who." The ssual Hallow'een games
were played. The house was decor-
ated for the occasion. The Ladies
Guild had charge and ran a lunch
counter which all patronized.
After Election
After election is over;
After the count is o'er.
Many heade will be broken;
Many heads will be sore;
Many who merit approval
Will feel thrust Into tneir souls
The iron that wounds without heal-
ing;
The cruching of hopes evermore.
But O! there is great consoUtion
For the slaughtered in Biblical lore;
In the great round-up of creation,
When mundane things are no more;
For there Is a place for all liars
In a lake of tire, we're told,
for the fellows who promised their
suffrage,
And then went back on them cold.

There Is a w idespread use of the va-
por, or Turkish bath. Even in arctic
Lapland the use of a Turkish bath of
very primitive form is conimov It
oonsists of a hut attaohed to overy
farm, says Harper's Weekly In th#
middle of the hut is raised a kind of
beehive of the rough stones and In
this a Are Is lighted. When the
stones become red het they are dreuch
ed with water, so that the'place is
filled with vapor. Then enter the
bathers, who are armed with birch
twigs, with which they belabor one
another until all are In a state of pro-
fuse perspiration. Then all leave the
hut and roll In the snow outside This
laat function, It will be observed, Is
equivalent to the cold plungs which Is
the final experience in the Turkish
bath as known to us all.

trade, and Its present population is
only 2,000.

No Wood to Decay, Check, Split or Shrink
Rain or Shine, the Weather has no effect on New

wagon having an extension reach tube. Its many
special features of axle, wheel, box, gear and tongue
make it a wagon that should be carefully considered.

FOOD CANAL IN MAMMALS. j ^
A Frenchman who has made an ex-
amination of the food canal tn mam-
mals has measured the length of it in
280 specimens that'belong to 30 spe-
cies. He has found tflat the ratio be-
tween the length of the canal and the
length of the body is smallest in the
carnivorous animals, larger In those
that are called omnivorous, and larg-
est in the vegetarians In nther
words, the length of the food tract
seems to vary with the digestibility of
the kinds of food that are oon
■timed The rule holds true in birds
as well as In animate In man the
alimentary canal Is about 30 feet long,
—usually from frre to six times the
length of the hody
GOOD ENOUGH GANG PLOWS
The Good Enough Gang was designed to supply a durable
and thoroughly reliable gang plow at a moderate cost. A plow
that would be to the gang class what the world-famous Good
Euough Sulky is to the sulky class. The success of the effort is
attested by the great demand for them in sections where thev
have been introduced. J
The front furrow wheel is set obliquely and is connected with
a steering lever. No other gang is provided with this feature.
The plow can be operated with or without a pole.
ARSENIC IN NATURE.
It has long been known that traces
of arsenic are to be found not only In
human and animal organisms, but In
certain plants, such as the cabbage,
turnip an ! potato, and In wheat. Two
members of the French academy of
science. Messieurs Jac'ln and Atruc,
have shown that arsenic Is also to be
found In rice, peas, beans, lettuce, cel-
ery. asparagus, parsnips, and In most
vegetables used as food by man. as
well as In applca. pears, pineapples,
oranges and nuts. Slaoe plants tm-
doubtedly get the element from the
•oil, arsenic must occur far more
widely In nature than was at one time
We claim for Monitor Disc Drills |
That they are approximately one-third lighter
draft than any other mak<? of machine of equal size.
That they are the only drills that cannot be clog-
ged either by mud, gumbo, or adobe soil; or in weedy
or cornstalk ground.
We tell more of this drill later.
