MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR
If ever we are tempted to say that
though others have much to be thank-
ful for, our lives are hard and our
paths are thorny, let us stop u minute
and see by what standard we are
measuring our blessings. If we look
at a cripple plodding along with
crutches we cannot help being thank-
ful that we have feet which serve us
well and that we can walk and run
without so much as considering the
effort. If we see somebody who is
barefooted, we may he thankful for
shoes. When the rain heats on the
roof at night we may be thankful forj
the house that shelters us. When the
doctor calls next door to see an in-
valid who is tossing with fever we
may thankful thai we are well. If
there are flowers on the door bell
across the street we may be thankful
that there are no vacant chairs in our
home.
W. H. L. CAMPBELL.
The sudden death of W. II. L.
Campbell, Clerk of the Oklahoma Su-
preme Court, at the Brady Hotel, at
Tulsa, Okla., last Thursday evening,
cine as a surprise and shock to the
entire Bar of the State.
His death was caused by a blood
clot on the brain, a&d no one knew
of his sickness until he was found
in an unconscious state, remaining
so until death.
Swamp Campbell, as he was famil-
iarly called, has been Clerk of the
Supreme Court since Statehood.
He was ever prompt, active, and
courteous in the discharge of his du-
ties, and his untimely death is a
source of sincere regret, and sorrow
to the lawyers of the State, and they
all are in sympathy with the be-<
reared family.

tile brain of some Guthrie galoot and

THE SUN GETS "BAWLED" OUT.
it all came about thi? way: An
elderly lady blew into town the other
ilny whose business is giving "bene-
fit" entertainments, and the ladies
of the Baptist church offered to as-
sist her in the enterprise, she very
"generously" giving them 40 per cent
of what's left after she gets hers.
Now the head and front of The
Sun's offending was that we did a
job of printing of. cards and carried
some readers in the paper advertising
the show for which we made a charge
of the "enormous" price of $2.50.
Notwithstanding that the lady had
been previously advised as to the cost
of the work, when she came to pay
the bill, she insisted that it was exces-
sive and that since we had only one
shot at her we were taking advantage
of that opportunity to hold her up,
and was seized with a violent case of
belly-ache because she had to pay it.
We informed the antiquated grouch
that we were very sorry that she felt
that way about the matter, but that
if she were bent on that belief, she
had our permission to stick to it.
The fact are—which seem scarcely
necessary to mention—only a fair
and legitimate profit was asked for
the work done—only such price
all other persons are required to pay
for the same class of work—no more,
nor no less.
It seems to us that Hartshorne has
been ridden till its back is sore by
fake "benefits," inaugurated osten-
sibly for the purpose of benefiting
some church organization, but
reality the "other fellow" cops the
benefit and the church gets the hole
in the doughnut as its share of the
proceeds, besides doing the work and
bearing the expense. Don't you
think the chin- folk of this city
have pulled chestnuts long enough
for this bunch of parasites?
In this connection it is not out of
place to state that The Sun has al-
ways given freely and cheerfully of
its space to the churches free gratis,
and will continue to do so iong after
this character of cheap fly-by-night
benefit entertainers are gone and for-
gotten. But when they do happen to
bob up we shall require them to pay
for their work the same as real folks.
Charity is tme thing, and a business
proposition is quite another. Now we
are ready for the next one.

The Sun is gluti to note the hHive-
ment about to be inaugurated by the
ladies of the Progressive Club which
has for its object the systematic dis-
pensing of charity, an organisation
such as is maintained in many of the
towns and cities throughout the coun-
try for the properly caring for the
truly needy. The objcct is not only
to administer to cases as they arise,
but to seek out and extend a help-
ing hand to all persons deserving of
public charity. To say that such an
organization is needed is to state a
patent fact well known to all, as it is
only through a well organized and
systematic method of giving that the
greatest good to the greatest number
can be accomplished.
The plan is to print and ixsue cards
to all persons who will agree to sub-
scribe to the fund of the United
Charities, to be posted in conspicuous
places, designating that such persons
are members and subscribers to the
United Charities of Hartshorne. The
funds so subscribed to be turned over
to and disbursed through the treas-
urer of the organization on the au-
thority of an investigation com-
mittee, whose duty it shall be to sat-
isfy itself that all cases appealing
for help are deserving and worthy.
This, too, will afford a means of
protection- to the public against im-
position of possible impostors, pro-
vide a plan of systematic giving and
hence make the funds go further and
do more good.
The business men of Hartshorne
we believe will look with favor upon
such an organization and give it their
encouragement by subscribing to it,
since it is the most practical and sat-
isfactory way.of dispensing charity.
AMERICAN HORSES IN BATTLE
The American horse is one of the
first to answer the bugle call of the
European war. Representatives of
many foreign governments are in this
country purchasing horses for the
various armies of the warring na-
tions and practically every state in
the Union is contributing cavalry ma-
terial to the belligerent factions.
The American horse is a utility ani-
mal and excels that of any other
country on the face of th«* earth. He.
has plowed our fields, fought* our
battles bnd is the most faithful of
animal kind. His reputation has ex-
tended to other countries and he is
now going to perform the services
for foreign countries which he has
so faithfully fulfilled at home.
We are going to quit trying to
patch up that trouble between Car-
ranza and Villa. Everytime we get
it on the verge of a settlement a
new revolution breaks out.
We note that the New York cotton
exchange memberships took another
jump Saturday, $10,000 being bid
for a seat. At the time the exchange
closed last July memberships were
selling at $12,500. If we had that
much money we wouldn't want a seat
in the cotton exchange.

The problem that confront: ihc
farmer next in importance to distri-
bution is diversification.
Agricultui* has gone through two
thousand years of evolution and is
still in an experimental stage.
Over-production is the stumbling
block, and systematic marketing the
stepping-stone of agriculture.
It is the duty of every farmer to
see that his wife is supplied with
every equipment to lighten her la-
bors.
To eliminate waste and inefficien-
cy in marketing, the farmer should
keep in close touch with market con-
ditions.
The problem of marketing is the
higgest business proposition of any
age or nation and one that will re-
quire the combined efforts of all the
agencies of civilization to solve.
