Which?
A farmer frun l a cigar in his srmll
son's pocket the n'f-er Hnv on getting
home after a shopping trip. The far-
mer confiscated the cigar and whipped
the boy with the rope used to tie the
family jackass at night. Then the far
mer lighted the cigar and started to
smoke it himself. It was loaded and
burned the farmer's lilacs off his phy-
siognomy and set fire to the barn. The
problem now puzzling the community
is to find the jackets.

Open Bible Class.
Dr. H. R. Walling will organize an
adult open Bible Class next Sunday
morning. The object of this class-
will be to prepare teachers thoroughly
for Sunday School work. 'I here will
be, first, taught what the Rible is, the
evidence of its inspiration, its divisions,
the true application of its history, and
how each division should be understood
and taught.
The object of this training work will
be for the purpose of preparing teach-
ers and others for thoroughly under-
standing the Bible and how it should be
read and studied by all. Persons that
can attend this open Bible class work
need not remain at the Church services
if they desire to go elsewhere.

Masonic Services.
The members ol Medford Lodge No.
108. A. F. & A. M. atti nri d a sp
service at the M. E. <1 uich lastSund y
evening. Owing to ih - intensely cold
evening the attei dance of the Masons
as well as the audience was much more
limited than it would have been. The
sermon was delivered by the ven-
erable Dr. H. R. Walling, one of the
pioneer Masons and citizens of Okla-
homa. Dr. Walling dwelt elcquently
upon the tenets of the ord r and de-
monstrated what Masonry meant and
taught. He held up the church as para-
mount to all institutions, holding that
Masonry wad never intended to super-
cede or supplant the church.
Dr. Walling has a flow of language
few men possess, and although well
advanced in years, still he often in his
addresses, as he did last Sunday even-
ing, evinces the fire of his youth.
The M. E choir furnished appropri-
ate music for the occasion. Rev. J L,
Patterson, pastor of theM. E. church.
Rev. Alonzo Early, pastor of the Con
gregational church and R v. C. G
Jones, evangelist of Oklahoma City
participated in the service?.
Frank Walling's Dilemma.
Frank Walling was at Enid last Fri-
day. He was in the law < fl ce of Park-
er & Simons, sit ing in a luxurious
easy chair in Judge Parker's p ivate
office. He placd his feet, pn he says,
at all angle o°f fs degrees, a l,n\>ri'e"
posture of Frank's, while pemdi-p a
newspaper. As noon approached he
began to feel the pane's of hunpergnaw
ing at his stomsch. He went to aj
restaurant and called for a meal, and
such a meal, it made the heart of the
restaurant I'eeper leap with joy as he
piled dish after dish in front of Frank
and saw th m disappear. When it!
locked as if every particle of gru'> in I
the place was going to be consumed
FranK finally stoppid erd thrust lis!
hand into his pocket with the air of a
Rockefeller to pull out his pay. A
look of blank astonishment blanched j
his legal coun'enance, there wasn't
cent in his pocket.
"Gee whiz," Frank exclaimed, "I've
lost*all my money."
"That don't go here broke in the
restaurant keeper" as the shadows
gathered on his eaterial brow.
After many explanations and we are
not certain whether Frank put up his
watch in escrow or no', but he hastened
back to the offices of Parker & Simons
and lo and behold there lying in the
easy chair was his money, just as it
had rolled out of his pocket, when his
No. ll'a were pointed skyward
Frank paid for his meal just the
same and—and, well, the restanranter
smiled at the siz of the tip and invited j
him to come again.
A Llbroiy tor Medford.
One of ti e most desirable things for
any city is a library. Something is
possible for t ve y village, town and
city. It is necessary for someone to
take the initiative i<pH that is why this
article ia written. This is my plan for
establishing the library:
It shall be known as 'Progn ssive
Library Club". Its membership shall
consist of twenty persona (no more)
vacancies shall be filled by persons who
make ai plication for membership.
The object of membership is to legis
late and control in the interest of the
club. I think a member fee of SI or $2
per year would be sufficient for a small
beginning. Any person in Medford or
community could have the use of the
lib) ary by paying a small sum like 81
or 82 per year. The rules and regu a-
tions governing the library olub I have
•Vial' 1,1 m'n^ ^ut w''f not express them now
as they wudd have to be talked over
by the Club snd adopted at their meet
ing. This library is to be permanent
and every book is to be the property of
the club and cannot be taken away
from Medford.
In order to get this Librarj mcetn g
soon I am going to invite as many as
are interested to meetnt the CongrtgH-
tional parsonage Friday evening of this
week, at 7:30 promptly.
Many will have hnsiness that v ill
detain them from this meeting, will
you kindly write a brief note to be
'ead at the meeting? Mail it to me or
hand it to some one you know will be
present.
Yours for a library in Medford,
