extract from the article:
"Now Is a good time to talk serious-
ly with the boy about the Fourth of
July. You know that the old kind of
celebration was a nation wide massa-
cre; you know the terrible menace In
the big firecracker and the blank cart-
ridges. But the boy may not kao*
there are several boys who will nAer
know. The boy wnnts the noMe-mak-
lug engines with an Intensity of de-
sire few grownup folks can fully un-
derstand. He looks upon the posses-
sion of fireworks on the Fourth of
July not as a privilege but as a right
—a right established by tradition
There are many fathers who sympa
thlre with the youngsters' feeling
they can remember what firecrackers
and blank cartridges meant to them,
and they hate to deny their sons
great Ieasure. These well-meaning,
mistaken fathers have to be educated
too."

Good Rain Monday Night
A good rain which will be of great
benefit to all kinds of crops fell over
Washita county Monday night. The
rainfall here amounted to about an
Inch but was reported a great deal
heavier in some parts of the county.
The rain came in time to save most
everything, although wheat in some
parts of the county had been injured
to such an extent that a full crop can
not now be expected.
The west and north parts of the
county were not needing rain as those
portions were thoroughly drenched
two weeks ago. It was the tight land
in the center and south part that was
suffering. Wheat that was properly
put in last fall had not suffered a great
deal, but many of the farmers sowed
in cotton without taking time to break
their lapd deep and as a result there
was no moisture underneath to draw
from and the wheat in many places
that was sowed on cotton land was
dying out or drying up.

Two Minuie Title Tails
About Taking Chances
The chances are ten to one that
your house will not burn, and
yet you carry fire insurance.
The chances are five to one
that you wll never lose your
property through a defect In the
title, but the fifth man does
have a most exasperating tima.
Driven almost to desperation
before he finds rest, he wishes
he had never seen or heard of
real estate.
With one of our abstracts
showing perfect title, the chan-
ces are ten to nothing that you
will not be disturbed, or that your
title will withstand any attack.
