Farmers Conveniences

US'" and The Socialists
Are not alone confined to the free
Delivery of mail and the telephone.
There is another convenience which
all farmers should have—and many
do have—a check account with a
good bank. Lhe possessor of such
an account avoids the risk of having
his money on his person or about his
home where it is in danger of fire and
thieves.
His bills paid by check are not only
a valid receipt, but also a convenience
in his home transactions where very
often the necessary change can be
made by check.
We have spared no expense to get
the best system of bookkeeping that
can be had. We seud you a state-
ment of your account every month so
you can know at all times how your

HOLLIS OKLA.
When toe Post-He raid began
its expose of Socialism, there
were many threats, dire and
yengeful, hurled at as by the
followers of that cult. They
freely prdicted the coming of
the time when they would be
able to make the Pos tile raid
managment rue the day we
dared to tell the people of the
rotten things taught by the
leaders of their party. But we
were unterrified by their threats
and undaunted by their predict
ions of loss of business. We
saw a worir that needed to he
done aud we would consider
ourselves unworthy of American
citizenship had we failed to do
ourd-iby We think tne news-
paper which is too cowardly or
is two much influenced by eas-
iness policy, to take a stand up-
on questions of this kind is un-
worthy of the support of any
people. In fact had the news-
papers and the ministers of the
gospel informed the people of
this country of the real truth in
regard to the infernal doctrine
which was' being preached to
them by paid agitators from
other countries the houest far-
mers of Harmon county would
never have been lad astray by
them. All that is needed is a
little light upon the subject to
cause socialism to become a hiss
and a byword among intelligent
people as it has now become in
many parts of Harmon county
But back to these threats.
Our friends, the enemy among
the socialists, have now found
the opportunity they have so
long coveted of uniting their
efforts against the Post Herald,
and they are valiantly at work,
each of them becoming a solicit-
or. Nor do we find fault with
them for so doing. This is their
privilege and we have no com-
plaint to make.
But what will the members of
the Democratic party, those
who believe in the preservation
of the nation, the sanctity of the
home and the purpetuity of the
church do about this matter?
Will 4lie'y stand by the paper
that has fought their ba tles and
spoken out boldly on all ones
tions of public policy ? The good
peoole of Harmon county and
especially the fanners have not
failed to show their approval of
oar work and to encourage us by
their words, not forgetting the
more important part of remem-
bering us in the way of theii
subscription. While it is true
that we have lost a few names
from our list 09 account of the

every one so lost we have gained

Let the good citizens of the
county and all those who believ
in good government give us th
proper assistance and we wil
reach the 1500 mark by the Nev
Year.
