' Nearly Fatal Accident
The community was shocked
Wednesday evening at news of a
sad and almost fatal accident to
Clarence Miller one of the best
known and best liked young men
of Sasakwa and son of Houston
Miller
Clarence with a party of boys was
sporting in the old swimming hole
in Little River and dived off the
bank slightly mistaking his position
his head struck a rock near the sur-
face of the water and the blow
rendered him unconscious He sank
to the bottom of the hole and quick
work by his companions saved him
from immediate death by drown-
ing He was brought to town at once
and received medical attention He
regained his senses and said he suf-
fered no pain but was found to be
paralized from the hips down He
was then taken to the Sherman
hospital and last reports hold out
a hope for recovery although the
exact nature of his injuries had not
been determined at the time this
was written — Sasakwa Life
News was received here today
that Clarence Miller died at 8:30
o’clock last night at the Sherman
hospital

“THE LINE-UP AGAINST THE COVENANT”
Those were grave words uttered in the house at Wash-1 last session of Congress but which
ington Tuesday by Congressman Heflin when he said that “"senate cTmef"
German money is being used to manufacture sentiment against per capita payment of $150 for
the league of nations and insure its defeat in the United cutwestiaffedd t0CktheTearings

statement would be without any degree of truth Some of the saws
best people and most disinterested people in the country are
opposing the league and doing so honestly There are nu
merous reasons why the league should be opposed and opposi
tion to its adoption is no indication of one’s studipity or dis-
honesty But if Heflin implied that German sympathizers and
those who during the war were disloyal are opposing the
league’s ratification he implied what sober second thought
will admit as the truth There is not within the entire range j thought by August sufficient funds
of our acquaintance (and we know quite a lot of people in I wam-fnincreaslng" the parent to

openly and actively opposing the league of nations I Treasury Bureau ofHciMs
It is unthinkable that a German sympathizer should fa-Jfb-st thought
vor the league The very purpose of the league is to repress
any future aggression on the part of Germany and prevent D- L- Morgan of Fitzhugh an-
her winning even yet the rewards of the war The men who X""cendJ' Sunday Ihfth
planned the league frankly announced that there is no other erybody is invited to attend ltw
way to overawe Germany It is a league of nations now or
another world cataclysm later This purpose is well known
to German lovers and it is not possible for them to do other-
wise than oppose the league And they are against it to a
man
The line of demarkation thus becomes plain All who
support the league are loyal Americans All disloyalists and
pro-Germans oppose the league And a fact that is exceed-
ingly embarrassing to the loyal American who opposes the
league is that he finds himself in company with every element
that sought to stab this nation in its back while we were
engaged in war The men who defended the Lusitania mur-
der the men who burned railroad bridges and poisoned school
house wells the men who carried Chicago on an anti-American
platform and the men who signed the socialist protest at
St Louis are lined up against the ratification of the covenant
and are fighting it to a man The American citizen who fights
the league must take his stand by the side of every disloyal
element in the country

In commenting on the sale of his paper the Ada Star-
Democrat to the Ada Evening News State Senator Luther
Harrison says: “The good of the country demands that we
speak oftener than we have been heretofore and it has not
been possible for us to speak every day through the columns
of a paper printed once a week We have therefore decided
to multiply our brain product by six and g-ive the country what
it sorely covets and what it badly needs” Some statement
from the senator you will all allow but it is an eloquent con-
fession that neither the editor nor the public in these times is
satisfied with anything less than a daily nt vspaper Combin-
ing the erudition of Harrison and the lacile style of Brown is
sure to make a mighty interesting paper out of this same

FINANCING FARMERS
A great many farmers contemplate buying a farm
this coming summer or fall and most all agree that land
is likely to sell higher towards the end of the year than
at present and we note that the County Demonstration
Agents are generally advising parties to buy early
If you want a loan with which to buy a farm or
want one on a farm which you already have you will do
well to get our rates and terms I have a short cut
method of closing farm loans make the inspections from
this office prepare all papers here and keep the funds
on hand with which to pay out If title is in good shape
will pay you the money when you sign the papers The
long delay and red tape are thus eliminated As to
terms I write the loans for 5 7 or 10 years with prepay
priviliges and let you pay the interest once a year at
any month which you designate
Come in and let’s talk it over
Yours truly

The Her id hie Farmer
By cooperating with a bank the farmer places himself in
position to receive the financial support that is so necessary at
certain seasons in all agricultural pursuits And it is the far-
mer’s cooperation that places the bank in position to render such
support In a word the banker and the farmer need each other
We particularly solicit the accounts of farmers and the
facilities of this bank are always at their disposal
