The Sunday school is the bible
school. It is where the young
and old learn those great truths
which are the foundation of all
upon which our Christian faith
is erected. No church is of any
force without a school of the
bible. Next Sunday and Mon-
day is the time for this conven-
tion. \W nrg' all our pa'dple

The Journal of the American
Medical Association has com-
piled reports which says that
there were 17.015 students en-
rolled in medical colleges during
the past year in the United
States. This is the smallest
number since 1890.
Did They Drink It?
Deputy Sheriffs Ike Dodrill
and Morris Gentry made a tripj
to Stroud, last Saturday, acting
under orders from County At-
torney Speakman, had searched
two alleged joints. Booze in j
large quantities was discovered!
both places.—News-Publicist.
That is news as far as it goes, |
but what was done to the "al
leged joints" and what was done
with the booze? The N I'editor'
has the niakin's of a newspaper
man in him and some day may!
be able to tell what he knows. !
Nay, Nay, Woodrow!
President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan liave appointed
Charles J. \ opicki a Chicago
brewer, as Minister to the Bal-
kan states. This has aroused
many of their supporters among
the prohibitionists. There has
been strong protests against the
appointment. The claim is that
while the gentleman does not
use the I leverage of his own
make, nor allows it in or around
his home, nevertheless he lay
tribute on other homes.

Senator Wesley L. Jones, of
Washington, has made a for-
mal demand in the senate that
there be immediate considera-
tion of the proposed constitu-
tional amendment to give the
vote to women. The amend-
ment was reported favoroably
last June.
A good many people are in-
quiring about the proposed new
country. To all we can say that
we are going ahead with it. but
we are going slow that we may
make no mistakes. The idea of
a new county is catching over
the country. There is an
awakening to the opportunty.
This will be one of the best
counties in the state. It is not
the aim of the originators of the
new county idea to go in for the
things that will bring high tax-
es. We want roads built under
the supervision of thoroughly
competent experts. The State
Department will have something

house. We are just plain folks
here in this county and this sec-
tion and do not care f<>r the citv
buildings in the country. The
Creek county citizens transact
their business in rented quarters
and at a price that ought to
have been paying for the kind of
a building needed. We need
bridges at, different places over
the county and distant farmers
have found themselves at a
disadvantage because of it..
Along the Canadian river there
is a bridge at Keokuk Falls, one
at Econtuchka and part of one
at the crossing below Lakeside.
I lie Seminole side has been con-
demned for some time and is in
a dangerous condition. With a
properly managed road force
this can be cared for at a small
outlay of cash to the betterment
of all this middle section. We
are all far enough from the
county seats of the various
counties that we are neglected.
It is a rule to look after the re-
pairs and improvements the
more as you near the central
point. We believe it will lie
necessary for us of the "sticks"
to have our own county for this
reason alone if for no other. No
one section will be much over
fifteen miles from the seat of
county government save the
township in Creek county which
we ask to join us- and they are
at least ten, it not fifteen miles
further I'nmi the pre-ent fieat iif
Creek county. We can see
much in favor of the new move
and nothing against it saveth
to line up on the proposition.
We will want your help. This
is a ease of helping each man in
the affected teritory.
Howard Raymond Moore.
Howard Raymond, the infant
son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Moore, died last Friday night
after an illness of several
months. He was an attractive
child and a patient little suffer-
jer. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. S. E. Shafer.
at 2 o'clock in the Methodist
I Episcopal church, Saturday,
September 27th, and interment
was in the Prague cemetery.
The little one was one year and
fifteen days old.

Then the tree caught fire from
burning brush, and Lane spent

of the tree. He finally got the
fire out, but if was sevi r.il hours
before lie could make his escape
from the bull.
