Uncle Billie’s Philosophy
Everybody gits out and humps
theirselves tryin’ to make a livin’
Some folks git one idea about
what a livin’ is and others think
it is somethin’- else One bunch
think it is somethin’ else One
bunch thinks they ain’t got no
livin' at all unless they can skinr
the’ cream of the country off so
deep that they scrape the bottom
of the crock Another parsel of
folks thinks they are gettin’ along
pretty well if they can jist git a
little bit of the leavin’s
A livin' to most of us means
fancies frills and grub Fancies
can fool us into nearly everything
but postponin’ the hash Every
day it is demonstrated that soire
folks can buckle a band of cloth
around the waist and fahcy that I
( they are adorned with frills e
j nough to dim the stars on Milk
maid Highway' But every little
bit tho whole bloomin’ bunch o
us has to git our forefeet into the
feed trough or Heck will be to
! pay I've hearn some folk say
at fancy loafs around in the
head and some say it inhabits the
heart hut nobody never accused
it of tryin’ to put one over on the
’
i “ that a lot of the ancK! parad-
i in’ the country these days is the
kids of a lopsided coco
Now fer instance there's Jim
Floppum Way back yanderin
thehallicon days Jim jined pla-
have Jim figgered that this
wasent the right kind of a livin’
I took cognizance of the fact that
this fancy was a- eatin’ on Jim
and tried to help him beat it off
but it weren’t no use-'h -v - - ’
Onemornin’ I was a settin’ cn
the fence whittlin’ out a key to
fix old Beck's trace chain which
she had broke when she hooked
agin a stump I saw Jim a rnak-
in across the field in my direction
and I was satisfied that somethin'
was up He looked guilty and
hesitated about lettin’ the cat
out of the bag but I wouldn’t let
on Finally out it come
“ Uncle Billie” says he ‘'this
here countr’ys gone to the dogs
You take a oil field and they’s
dollars there where they ain’t
nickels here But fools like you
and me are hangin' around here
and a lettin' everybody else git
away with the coin”
“Mebbyso” says I “but what
could you have in a oil field that
you don’t have here?”
“Money of course Buy what
you want "get better advantages
fer your family and save the rest
Get to handle more money and
be more independent I sold my
place this mornin’’ and am pull-
in’ out”
A good many years later I saw
Jim a settin’ on the curb of a city
street wonderin' -where he could
find the next job “Uncle Billie”
says he after a few minutes ex-
changin' greetings “It’s not what
you handle after all that counts
It'? what you have and enjoy
Money wont buy everything and
tliey's never enough of it They’s
jist one kind of higher education
and that's the kind that knocks
the deuce outtena lot of the fan-
cies that keeps folks from under-
standin’ what a decent and respect
able livin’ is I’m educated now
but it got into my noodle too iate
My family has paid the penalty’
We was a purty sober family a-
round the supper table that night
when I told what Jim had told
me fer we all thought a heap of
Jim’s folksand alius ‘wished them
well Then we made a motto
and hung it on the dinin’ room
wall and at the begin ran’ of ev-
ery new' year we look at it and
and do some sober thinkin' as we
read “It’s - not what you handle
It’ what you have

Death Tefal for IS2G
Though the number of deaths
that occured in this state during
the past year exceeds by far any
previous total since the country-
wide “flu” epidemic yet it is not
believed that the mortality rate
was actually higher but that
more accurate statistics are being
reported to the Health Board
There i a stinging: rebuke how
ever in the fact that more than
one-fourth or 4663 were mere
babies under five years of age
Pre-mature birth caused 859
deaths 2915 were under one
year of age and diarrhea alone
caused 695 deaths in children un-
der two years
Whooping cough a supposedly
mild disease of childhood took a
oll cf 315 and diptheria 402 In
the last three years diptheria has
increased more than 500 per cent
laving jumped fro mr" 120 in 1918
to 420 deaths in 1920 Pneumonia
“Flu” and Tuberculosis lead the
column with totals of 1582 1363
and 1013 respectively
There were 86 deaths from auto
mobile accidents 207 homicides
and 104 persons who- took their
ives or suicides- Appendicitis
classed as a preventable disease in
the early stages caused' 210
deaths likewise Organic Heart
disease and Bright’s disease took
tolls of 755 and 682 respectively
Eighteen persons who had
ived to be more than 100 years
old are listed in the mortality re-
port In deaths as in births the
ma’es outnumbered the females
there being 8712 males and 7342
emales of the grand tot?l of 16
054 deaths in Oklahoma during
the year 1920
I A Pronauuued Saoceas
The uniform succas that has attend-
ed the use of Chamberlain’s Co’ic and
Diarrhoea Remedy in the relief and cure
of bowel complaints both for children
and adults fca4 brought it into - almost
universal use so that it is practically
without a rival and as everyone who has
Used it knows it i3 without an equal
iusic is a Blessing
Have you music in your home?
Are you making any effort to
supplement the splendid offerings
of vocal or instrumental melody
in your home?
’ Will there be a singing school
in your community this fall?
“Good music is one of the
good things of our present civili-
zation which in common with
other blessings is as readily a-
vailable to those who live in the
open country as to those who
dwell in the cities In the farm
home music will contribute much
toward a wholesome contentment
and a happy family life” Secreta-
ry Wallace recently wrote in re-
sponse to a request for an express-
ion on the subject
“fn the old days music was an
important factor in rural commu-
nity life Many of us remember
the old-fashioned singing school
“Community singing should be
revived generally
: “The township music teqeher
should be working in every com

“Whatevcr Is — Is Best’
I know as my life grows older
And mine eyes have clearer
sight
That under each rank wrong1
somewhere
There lies the' root of right -That
each sorrow has its purpose
By the sorrowing oft unguessed
But as sure as the sun brings '
morning
"Whatever is is best
I know that each sinful action
As sure as the night brings
shade
Is sometime somewhere punished
Tho’ the hour be long delayed
I know that the soul is aided
Sometime by the heart’s unrest
And to grow means often to suff-
er But whatever is is best
I know there are no errors
In the great eternal plan
And all things work together
For the final good of man -And
I know my soul speeds on-
ward In the grand eterner quest
I shall say as I look back earth-
' ward
Whatever is is "best

“A well-vvom savings bank book showing
systematic and frequent deposits is the best
recommendation a young' man can present
when applying for a position of trust It is
not only an evidence of thrift but shows a de-
termination to live on less than he ' makes
which in the last analysis is the road to
competence '
Recommendations and the influence of
friends of the applicant fade into insignifi-
cance with the employer when compared- to'
the above mentioned characteristics’ - ' -

Million Dollars
lym Milk' in Oklahoma
IheStaie Behind Its StateBanks
Industry is necsssary to wealth whether in an
individual or in a state Think of the industry
that made possible last year the proo’uction of
$8000000 worth cf milk in Oklahoma
The milking of one cow'swms like a small task
The value of the milk hardly can be computed
in terms of wealth But look what all the
cows of Oklahoma did last year— $3000000
So it is with savings What a man saves in
one week may seem like a small sum and hardly
worth while But multiply that by the weeks
in a period of years and it becomes a fcrture' '
