HARTSHORNE NEEDS—
On. (if tin most urgent needs of I
) l.Tt.slioriK i a good live > minier- j
< |:il < lull nit organization that will
l busy and stay busy. A town
tin. bize and importance < I Harts-
horne can afford to do larger things
■miking to tlio betterment of vrau«
conditions. Notably more, attention
ought lo lie given to tin building of
bi ttei roads,
Tlie n;ovcaient S''t oil foot this
week is one in the right direction—
that of the merchants nnd business
institutions of the (Own uniting in
one <'Olllniiiti < ll'oet lo induce the
folks of this vicinity to do more of
their tr.iiliJiK in Hartshorne. Such
a move is designed to awaken a
kindlier fi cling and promote a clot r
relationship between commercial in-
terests of the town and the ,ar.uers
and others ulio reside in proximity
to this lra«l territory.
Our banks are prepared to ext 'nil
liberal nwomiiiodatiiius ta the people
when accommodations lire needed,
nnd our large and i xtwislve stocks
of inet'eliaiidise will compare i'avorab-
ly with those of any 'own in Okla-
homa of like size. The L~'"~ is pe-
culiarly well equipped to do even a
larger volume of business this year
tlinn it liar ever done before, not-
withstanding the fact that Hartshorne
enjoys the reputation of being the
most iniiMirlant business point on
the Rock Island between Fort Smith
nnd Shawnee, (excepting McAlester).
So with properly directed effort,
Hartshorne this yenr ought vo plan
to eclipse any previous effort.
One of the prime considerations
precedent to Increased trade is bet-
ter roads. This being u fact Harts-
horne commercial interests can well
afford to whoop 'em up along this
line and consider It money well in-
vested, as money expended In good
roads building always comes hack
to the Investor in added dollars by
increased volume of trade.
We are glad to note this gel-to-
gether spirit manifest among our
merchants, for it is the only kind
of spirit that wins. They have the
goods and the prices, and you can
take it from us if their determina-
tion holds out, victory will certainly
he emblazoned upon their banner.

MOTHERS' DAY.
Why the second Sunday of May
has been preferred ovi r the other
three hundred and sixty four days
of the year for 'Mothers' Day" w«'
<lo not know. Were we to guess ;he
reason our guess would be that this
particular day is likely to be a bet- I of the sap of the sapote. With this
ThU day in May wAs designated
as .Mothers' Hay in this country by
Miss Anna Jarvis. Some states
have by statute made it a holiday;
many <!vic. patriotic and religious
organizations have so recognized th
day. At the national meeting a<
Niagara in 1911 the fraternal so t -
ties adopted this resolution:
"When Cod gave to warn n His
lie i blessing, Motlerhood. lie plac-
ed in Iter hands the greatest known
responsibility. Our mothers, with
more heroism than was ever display-
ed by man on the i'ield of battle,
put their lives In the balance, and
go down into the valley of the nha-
dow of death than men may be born
Into the world. To the most sacred,
the most beautiful thing in the world,
Mother Love, is due the splendid citi-
zenship of our country. We hereby
express our deepest reverence and
love for the mothers of America.
We recognize the second Sunday in
May of each year as Mothers' X)ay
nnd recommend that the units of our
Congress give official proclamation
of its observance."
So it is that on May 10 hundreds
of thousands of mi n and women will
wear a white carnation in token of
their affection f;r their mothers,
and the mothers of the land will be
remembered with flowers and acts of
kindness.

THE CRISIS IN GUM CHEWING.
An acute condition is likely to
make its effect known among gum
chewing stenographers, ribbon clerks
and effeminate young men, as it is
found by tho Pan-American Hitivan
at Washington that therre are 30,-
01)0,000 inveterate chewers of gum in
the United States. Chicle may he
Greek fo most of these people, but
to make it clear it is explained that
chicle Is the sap of the sapote tree,
technically known as sapotta zapotil-
la; and these Spanish jaw-breawing
words explain just how most of our
chewing gum is made. While pro-
tecting the flag is important, yet
how about, the sapota zapotilla? If
anything should happen in Mexico
that would cut off this gum supply it
would lead to complications quite
as far-reaching as those other i-f-
fairs we have with the Huertaites,
the Carranza's and Villa's. It takes
300,000,000 packages of gum annual-
ly to run the United States, and
Mexico has to supply practically all

The six o'clock closing which be-
gan on May 1st will operate to the
inconvenience of the public for a
time, or at least until people become
accustomed to this new departure.
If it can be demonstrated that a mer-
bant ci.n' sell as much good: in five
hour:, as lie can in six, what's the
us. to work that extra hour. We
manage to catch up with what little?
we have to do by five o'clock; but
we would not advise anyone to make
i run 011 the print business just be-
anie of the short hours the printers
njoy. The editor works ALL THE

If the county road gang succeeds
in accomplishing as much within the
next ten days as it has during the
past ten days it will have succeed-
ed in doing practically nothing. Cause
—too blooming much rain. We are
inclined to the opinion that thi3
means of working the roads is ;'alse
economy anyway; that the same
amount of money expended on con-
tract work would show infinitely
greater returns. The incidental ex-
penses connected with this means
of road work amounts to too much.
It looks more like the county is
spending two dollars to work one
dollar out of a convict.

Judge R. L. Williams of Durant,
candidate for governor, was in the
i it.v Friday, forming the acquain-
tance of the voters and looking after
his political fences. The judg'?
promises to return later and make us
a speech. Judge Williams has a
number of admirers in Hartshorne,
who are of the opinion that he
would make a first-class governor,
'.tnd, who do not hesitate to say that
in their opinion, he will be the
next governor of Oklahoma.

Thi most important event in the
lives of two very prominent persons
takes place at the White House ta-
day—Thursday, May 7, 11114, when
Mr.McAdoo will lead to the mymenial
altar Miss Eleanor Wilson, the young-
est daughter of the president. Our
invitation must have got delayed ow-
ing to high water. We don't think
the president's daughters are so
bad looking that lie need be in any
hurry to give them all away.

Evangelist Lincoln Mct'onnell. for
tli past three weeks has be>en shell-
ing the battlements of satan in Ok-
lahoma City with Ills Ill-inch guns,
holding up to his hearers in burning
words a blazing hell, warning them
to flee from the wrath to come. Ill

pears an epistle from an Oklahoma
City man in which he declares that

These are days of floods, hail-

whether lie be swept away by the
flood, his cocoa crushed by the
hail, born away on the destructive
wings of tho cyclone, swallowed up
by tho earthquake or succumbs to
the deadly bullet. In any event is a
death violent enough, and so far as
we know, is a long time .lead. Theso
times ought to be sufficient strenu-
ous for T. R.

WHY NOT, INDEED?
A farmer- who was carrying an ex-
press package fmm a city ms" order
house, was accosted by a Ijcal
merchant: "Why didn't you buy that
bill of goods from me? 1 could
saved you the express and besides
you would have been patronizing a
home store, which helps pay the
taxes and build up this locality."
With characteristic frankness, the
farmer asked: "Why didn't you pat-
ronize your home paper and adver-
tise? I read it and didn't know you
had the goods I have here, nor do
I eyer see your name in the paper
inviting one to come to your store."
CHAMBERLAIN'S LINIMENT.
This preparation is intended es-
pecially for rheumatism, lame back,
sprains and like ailments. It is a
favorite with people who are well ac-
quainted with its splendid qualities.
Mrs. CharlcB Tanner Wabash, Ind..
says of it, "I have found Chamber-
lain's Liniment the best thing for
lame back and sprains 1 have ever
used. It works like a charm and
relieves pain and soreness. It has
been use_'d by others of my family as
RIFLE WITH BINOCULAR
SCOP'C SIGHTS.
TELE-
A new rifle, which the sportsman
rests against his foreliead instead of
against his shoulder, is described,
with illustration, in the May Popular
Mechanics Magazine. Two telescopes
from the sighting device, by m?ans
of which accurate shooting is pos-
sible at distances impossible with the
usual type of gun. The inventor, an
Ohio sportsman, in experimenting,
used a gun having a range of about
1„50U yards and a penetration of
::-8 in. of boiler steel. A binocular
telescope of peculiar design is com-
bined with the gun and makes it
unnecessary to squint the eye in
sighting. A padded plate shaped va
the forehead is so arranged that the
l-ecoil of the shot is entirely taken
up by flat springs.
FOR A TORPID LIVER.
"I have used Chamberlain's Tablets
off and on for the past six years
whenever my liver show's signs of
being in a disordered condition. They ^
have always acted quickly and given \
me the desired relief," writes Mrs.
F. H. Trubus, Springvil.c. i. Y. For

BEWARE OF THE TEMPTER.
An old criminal was once ask d
what was the first step that led him
to ruin and he said: "The first thing
that led to my downfall was cheating
an editor out of two years' subscrip-
tion. When I done that the devil had
such a grip on me 1 could not shake
him off."
