notch men the prices are right

Robt L Owen in his recent
speech at Muskogee gave a little
bit of diplomatic history that was
new to some of us says the Pauls
Valley Enterprise A short time
ago when our relations were
J strained with the Japanese gov-
eminent over the California alien
matter the Ambassador of Japan
said to Secretary of State Bryan:
“Is this then the ' last word?” to
which Mr Bryan replied: “Be-
tween friends there is no last
word ’ ’ How easy it might have
been for a man less discreet to
have replied in a manner that
would have resulted in war
I This instance alone shows the
capability of the man who is as-
sisting Woodrow Wilson in his
worthy efforts to keep the integ-
rity of this nation and at the
same time maintain peace We
have reason to give thanks that
i we have two such men as Wood-
jrow Wilson and William Jennings
I Bryan at the head of our government
of these machines should be kept
tight and well drawn up because
the weaving and warping of
these frames will cause the mov-
ing parts to run out of alignment
and this means a rapid cutting of
the boxes shafting and gears
Spring washers or double nuts
could be used to considerable ad-
vantage in this case These
make a permanent repair “Tem-
porary repairs” have sent many
a good machine to the scrapheap
before its time
Early in the fall a list of re-
pairs should be made and ordered
so that if there are rainy days or
vacant days they can be utilized
in putting the machinery in
shape
Your time on a rainy day may
not be worth anything but if
spent in labor on the machinery
it may mean many dollars during
the rush of the spring work or
later in the harvest

man who knows no wants is the
man who never wastes”— Hen-

The Ford is my auto I shall
not want It maketh me to lie
down in green pastures it lead'
eth me into much trouble It
draweth on my purse I go into
paths of debt for its sake Yea
thought I understand my Ford
perfectly I fear much evil for
the radius rods of the axle might
break It has a blowout in the
presence of mine enemies I an-
noint the tire with a patch the
radiator boileth over Surely
this thing shall not follow me all
the days of my life or I will
dwell in the house of poverty
Moral:— Equip your Ford with
one of the new cuckoo clocks
When the thing reaches the
speed of 50 miles per hour on a
steep grade with a sharp turn at
the bottom the bird will come

Do your trading
make money
in Davis and
with nothing to protect them
from the elements and as a re-
I '
! suit the woodwork soon decays
the machinery rusts and often
levers are broken by livestock
An implement shed is not cost-
ly and will pay for itself in a
short time Implements should
not be merely housed but should
be repaired In this shed repairs
can be made conveniently and
with a small amount of discom-
fort during the fall and winter
seasons when for lack of other
work a man is often idle
Prompt repairs are especially
desirable on the more complicated
machines such as the binder and
manure spreader These ma-
chines if allowed to go without
repairs rapidly go to pieces and
become useless

Don’t be Too Cautious
There are people in the world
who think it right to go through
life taking all that life can give
them and giving nothing in re-
turn but they live their selfish
ives and pass away and are for-
gotten Out of their ranks no
hero comes You will let all
these pass by on the other side
while you stay to make the rough
place smooth to help somebody
up the hill to break down some
barrier to help to spread some
truth abroad to clear the way
for some great cause It is per-
fectly true that where there is a
will to do a thing the way to do
it can be found
It is right that you should be
be cautious but it is wrong that
you should be cautious even to
timidity The world is not in
want of men who will hold back
They are at the corner of every
street every town is full of them
It is the boy who will go forward
the world is waiting for Mr
Timidity took no risks and Mr
Timidity never did anything that
is worth mentioning now Most
of his life was spent in waiting
until he was quite sure until alt
his plans were laid so carefully ’
and all the cost was counted bo
exactly that nothing at all could
possibly go wrong And while
Mr Timidity waited somebody
did it
