Comment Frowns and Smi'cr
Last Wednesday was Valen-
tine day and will be long re-
membered in Oklahoma, from
the heavy snow fall of the day,
that will benefit the state to a
degree untold. This vicinity be-
ing blessed with about ten in-
ches, which will put the fields
in spledid condition for all kind
of farm operations when it
melts; replenish the water sup-
ply for live stock which was be-
coming a serious problem in
many cases from the long con-
tinued drouth, that is considerd
the worst winter drouth in the
history of the state and will be
worth millions to the wheat
crop. And many oil wells that
have been shut down for lack
of water will,now get busy and
in endless ways the remarkable
snow fall will benefit the state.

A laboring man in Cushing

_r " ent on the assistance of their

good standing of the local
church. He has been seriously
ill for six months, during this
time there has been just two
persons called on him who were
church members, while his
neighbors, who are not church
people, have rendered all as-
sistance required. Shame on the
church people.
While the Herald has been
enjoying troubles of its own,
Hallett has been foregoing to
the front with its city-owned
gas plant and it gives us great
pleasure to announce to the
world that we now have a com-
plete gas system installed and
in full operation that is owned
by the city and all profits will
benefit the citizens, and not
some private company also that
the gas supply will be ample
for all purposes and the rates
remarkably low. Factories look
ing for locations where cheap
gas can be had, will do well to
investigate what Hallett has.to
offer them.
Our magnificient water and
gas systems, our splendid ship-
ping facilities, our wonderful
climate and natural resources,
the enormous oil and gas fields
around Hallett should make
|this an attractive point for all
kinds of factories looking for
desirable localities, but unless
the people interested are in-
formed of our advantages, they
will know nothing about us, but
will pass us up and locate
where the people have enter-
prise enough to let the world
know about their good points.
Will Hallett get busy?
