Insurance investigation goes

The Associate Press must have

To say that any country is a bad
country is a misnomer To say
that any year is a bad year is not
correct The bad and good coun-
try is so closely allied that it is
hard even for the natives to tell
which from tother and the bad
years came regularly and always
will but they are so mixed up
with the good ones that it is re-
ally hard to distinguish the good
from the bad We know that bad
years will come and expect them
No country on earth is free from
them and there is bad land in all
so-called good countries Man
had just as well be one place as
another so far as natural condi-
tions are concerutd Bad coun-
tries are largely the result of the
people who inhabit them Nature
usally gives each of her depend-
ents an equal show with the others
But in some cases the conditions
surrounding certain localities
makes that better suited to the
the needs of certain classes in
other localities in that it offers ad-
vantages in undeveloped resources
that other localities do not
Oklahoma is a fair type of this lat-
ter country As an opporunity to
secure good homes cheap Oklaho-
ma is still in the lead There are
numerous bargains in farm land i i
this vicinity that are only waiting
for the right hands to make them
homes of elegance and prosperity
The numerous government pas-
ture reserves that are being thrown
open to settlement on the lease
plan offers excellent inducements
to persons of small means to secure
good farm land at a reasonable
rental and make improvements
that will some day be worth a pile
of money
The mineral resources of the
territories are only partially devel-
oped and only recently has there
been any attempt to utilize them
with the exception of coal The
development of the oil industry al-
though only iu its infancy has
reached gigantic proportions and
is the forerunner of immense in-
dustries that will locate iu its
w’ake The numerous saline res-
ervations the excellent quality of
building stone the vast timbered
areas the healthful climate and
fertile soil its adaptability to the
production of both northern and'
southern craps place it away
ahead of the majority of the older
states iu the union To say that
the two territories today are the
most widely advertised sections o!
the country today is to say that
there are in all probabilities many
false impressions in the minds of
a grtat many people regarding
them 4ud that many erroneous
statements have been made bnt
on the other hand we can truly
say that the half has never been
told A casual visitor is very apt
to see the country from his point
of view only and if he happens to
be a tin peddler he may not be
very favorably impressed but to
the man who has rented in the
east and each year paid the price
of an Oklahoma farm out iu rent
not receiving in return half the
profits of the usual blackjack farm

Taking His Medicine
An Oak park man who seldom
has to consult a doctor caused
jsome commotion in the street
near his home recently when he
was seen one morning running
Every fifty feet he would stop
I take a bottle of medicine from
' his pocket drop a few drops into
a spoon run fifty feet and repeat
the dose
The following morning he re-
peated the performance much to
the amazement of the residents
along the street
The third morning instead of
running he skipped hippity hop
like a boy stopping every fifty
feet to take a dose of medicine
The observers of bis antics were
convinced that he was insane
land there was talk of having
him taken td the detention hos-
I pital The fourth day he was
stopped and asked to explain his
actions by one of his neighbors
braver than the rest and this is
what be iu’
“I was feeling badly the other
day and I went to my doctor and
asked him for a prescription
He gave me some medicine and I
asked him how often I should
take it He said to lake it a
couple of days ruumug and to
skip a day That is wbat I have
been doing” — Chicago Record
