The Heart of a Woman
Laughter and sunshine and story
Beauty and sweetness and trust:
Courage and grandeur and glory
Shadows and darkness and dust—
All things of light and of loving
The heart of a woman contains
Grand virtues great sweetness and sorrows
Peace happiness passion and pains
One moment it blooms like a garden
With every sweet blossom life knows
A vale of the peace of the ages
A pathway through violet and rose—
And then o’er the darkness and doubting
The wings of a storm swept the skies
And the garden is tossed in the tempest
And the vale in dark ruin lies
One moment so pitiful ten ier
And then all the rage and the hate
Fill its beating with infinite shadows
As it raves against infinite fate
One moment so true and so loving
So clinging and gentle and sweet
All the song of life sweeping its gamut
Every blossom of life in its beat
And yet with all changing and travail
All sorrow and aching and cross
All sunshine today then tomorrow
Cast down in the grief of some losi
And yet with its battle and thunder
Its April of showers and of shine
God give me the heart of a woman
And take all the rest that is mine!
—Cincinnati Enquirer
Since the recent heavy rains
many of the main traveled roads
have been left in bad condition
especially where bridges or small
culverts have been washed out tie
The matter of fixing them i3 of
no little importance and it’s ud
to some organization or organi-
zations to have them fixed At
present no funds are available
for the county to do so but it
must be done-and how? Har-
vest time i3 at hand and the
roads must be used therefore
the sooner the matter is treated
Crisco it an entirely different cooking fat You never have used anything
like Crisco for frying for shortening or for cake making because the
Crisco Process of treating vegetable oil is new And only this process
can make the Crisco or cream from the oiL
Cream represents the richest or best of the milk Crisco represents the
richest yet most dipttible form of food oiL
Crisco is different also in this respect: It remains sweet and pure indefi-
nitely For the parts of the oil which turn rancid are eliminated by the
Crisco Process
Do not confuse Crisco therefore with “lard compound” In the com-
pound there is present a goodly quantity of hard animal fat necessary to
stiffen the vegetable oik The Crisco Process does away wh the need
tor using the animal fat which at best is difficult to digest and males
foods less appetizing
seriously the better it will be
for all concerned
As a matter of fact we hac
rather live on the classic banks
of the Beaver listening to the
murmuring Cow and be forcec
to move to higher ground when
a big dew falls than to live in
pagan splendor in Europe and be
rent by the struggle of greed
and consumed by the unholy
fires of hate Had rather perch
in the fork of a sycamore tree
and listen to the night owl’s
creepy hoot and the bullfrog’s
croaking basso than listen to
the mirthless humor of Little
Willie of the Leader when he
has an attack of the jaundice
Selah !
According to the Ryan Leader
many of the business houses re-
mained closed during a half-holiday
proclamation recently and
to help matters along the busi-
ness men spent the day repair-
ing roads in Ryan's trade terri-
tory Certainly all other towns
in this part of the state will not
J lag in this matter just because
Ryan set the pace but instead
we hope to see the day when
every town in Jefferson county
will co-operate with the farmers
in bringing about one of the
most if not the most essential
1 matters pertaining to the welfare
of both the farmer and business
man
The Cummins bridge is re-
ported to be getting in a danger-
ous condition For some time
railings on the foot-bridge have
1 been torn loose and some of the
support beams have been practi-
cally useless for a year or more
The flooring of the bridge has
long since needed repair and if
it isn’t attended to in the near
future a serious mishap is liable
to befall someone in crossing the
bridge Somehow some way
let’s have it fixed
A good roads campaign would
be the best possible move the
citizenship of Waurika could agi-
itate But at that some use lit-
foresight and delight in
knocking any kind of a move
that “So and So” has anything
to do with
The recent high waters might
be termed too much of a good
thing still there are many in
these parts who prefer an over-
production of moisture to an insufficiency

RAIN HINDERS “DOLLAR DAY”
Last Saturday was “Dollar
Day” in Waurika and no doubt
would haye been a great success
had it not been for heavy rains
the night before Clouds hung
ow Saturday morning but be-
fore noon the sky presented
clear appearance and many farm
ers began coming into town
oaded with exhibits for entries
in the contest for the best dis-
plays in farm products etc
However about noon this sec-
tion was again threatened with
rain and many visitors did not
remain to see the outcome of the
contest This too probably pre-
vented many from coming to
town in the afternoon and thus
“dollar day” did not come up to
expectations Still a fairly good
crowd was in town and a large
number took advantage of the
many bargains offered
It is to be regretted that it
turned out as it did as it would
have been a great day in Wauri-
ka had weather conditions been
favorable But let us not be
discouraged— rather let’s grimly
resolve to achieve a splendid suc-
cess It can be done weather
conditions being favorable and
it behooves us to go about the
matter with confidence and de-
termination The next “dollar
day” it has been decided will
be held in conjunction with the
Fourth of July celebration which
will be on Saturday July 3 and
let’s endeavor to make it the
biggest day in the history of
Waurika
