A Happy Ending
South Cotteyville may well congratulate her-
self upon the highly satisfactory outcome of the
union depot proposition In less than a year she
grew to proportions which justified a depot
That was one thing getting it was another The
railroads were both ready and willing to establish
the station — but they played for time Played
successfully for about four months It became
necessary to appealjto the corporation commission
where an order for the depot hus finally been
secured
The point of this article is this throughout
the entire proceed u re even with the suit in court
the relations between South Coffcyville and the
railroads have been only pleasant — there has been
no spirit of antagonism manifested South Cof-
feyville has no desire to encourage opposition on
the part of the railroads and neither road is dis-
posed to give the other any advantage because of
an unfriendly attitude toward the town
Truly a happy ending!
The mayor and councilmen of Jackson Miss
visited Oklahoma City and other Oklahoma towns
recently to inspect the paving Mississippi can
learn many other things from Oklahoma besides
paving i
By a marvelous system of computation Chica-
go packing houses assert that the plentiful supply
of corn enables them to lower the price of cured
pork $1 per cwt although the price of fresh pork
remains unchanged What's the answer?
A Now Feature
This week The South Cofleyvtlle Times in
augurates a weekly series of "The Week’s Events
as seen by Our Cartoonist’’ We trust that this
feature will be appreciated by our readers It is
an accomplishment equalled by no oilier weekly
paper in the state of Oklahoma and by no daily in
northeastern Oklahoma or southeastern Kansas
It has always been the policy of The South Cof
feyville Times to give its readers something u
litttle better than they expect even though it be
at a cost which the ordinary country weekly
deems prohibitive — hut then The South ColTey
vllle Times is not an ordinary country weekly
"A soft answer turneth away wrath" but it
takes a corporation commission to get the depot
The oil car which ran off the south end of the
Santa Pe tracks half a mile north vectntly lms
not yet been removed Evidently the Santa Pe
is undecided whether to pull the car to Colleyville
or extend the tracks to South Coffcyville
' The South Coffcyville Times acknowledges
receipt of an excellent railroad map of Oklahoma
prepared by the state corporation commission
The map is unquestionably the best overissued in
Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Spirit
Oklahoma City Times (Rep): If Oklahoma
City Democrats want to go after the Democratic
national convention in 1012 they will find that the
people will help them financially and otherwise
regardless of political faith Go after it When
it comes to a matter of boosting for Oklahoma
City politics are forgotten
That’s the spirit! All Oklahoma Will help to
get the 1912 convention for Oklahoma! City All
Oklahoma is proud of Oklahoma City
- It is claimed that an old treaty just unearthed
will cause the title of Platt National Park at
' t
Sulphur Murray county to pass from the United
States to the state of Oklahoma Efforts are be-
ing made to prevent this change the state would
- be unable to' improve and maintain this superb
playgrolind and health resort as It should be and
it would be a genuine loss to the entire southwest
should the transfer occur '
Be Moderate ia
All Thing
“Be moderate in all things particularly in
your recreation and exercise” is the advice of the
officers of the New York Academy of Medicine
who are trying to teach the plain citizen how to
keep healthy by simple common sense methods
"It is possible” their latest pronouncement
says ‘‘to keep the muscular system-In good con-
dition with a few minutes exercise each day The
overdoing of exercise makes hard masses of mus-i
cle which are rather undesirable They do no inp-
prove the powers for good digestion intelligent
work sleep nor do they make for long life
"Don’t make work of your play What we
need is something to balance the emotional life
and this is done by pleasurable exercise It is
not pleasant to get up from a cozy corner and a
good book to take a long hard prescribed tramp
alone One will get more oenettt from a short
jaunt In company with others and diverted with
pleasing conversation”
While reaching a high note In an easter solo
in the Episcopal church at Homesdale Pa Sun-
day morning a young lady lifted her head high
enough to bring her chanticleer hat in contact
with an open gas jet destroying the hut and all
but creating a panic It lias not as yet been re
vealed whether vengeance was struck because of
the hat or the high note
Mrs Brewer
Wanted to go Home
The following story of the late Justice David
J Brewer is recalled-
Justice Brewer came from Kansas After he
married the present Mrs Brewer they went on a
visit to his old home
In Washington a justice of the supreme court
is always spoken of as "Mr Justice” and that
was the title Mrs Brewer had always heard
When they reaened Chicago the "Mr" was drop-
ped and the jurist was referred to as Justice
Brewer At Omaha some old friends called him
"David J’’ and wiien they crossed the Kansas
line some former neighbors referred to him as
“Dave"
“Let’s go home” suggested Mrs Brewer
"Why?” asked the justice
“Bei-uuse dear” Mrs Brewer replied “I
am afraid if we go any farther they wiil be calling
you Davie"
Reaching the
Pole by Submarine
New York Evening Post: Jules Verne’s im
agination seldom conceived u bolder project than
that of Dr Anschutz of Kiel who proposes to
reach the North Pole by submarine boat To this
project the well known Austrian explorer Julius
von Payer referred in a recent lecture on Peary
and Cook delivered in Vienna He expressed
Inmseir as quite skeptical regarding the proposed
attempt to reach the Pole by airship Not that a
"Zeppelin’’ would have any difficulty in making
the 1200 kilometers from Spitzbergen to the Pole
in one (light the difficulty would be in regard to
the landing unless the airship is so constructed
as to be able tloat on water The submarine plan
seems to Von Payer more practicable Dr Ans-
chutz lias been at work on it for ten years He
proposes to move along some thirty meters below
the ice aud his boat has a supply of liquid oxygen
that makes it unnecessary for it to come to the
surface more than once in two days Provision is
made for illumination and steering The chief
difficulty will be in the low rate of speed that wiil
have to be maintained because of the danger of
collision with icebergs which often extend to a
depth of from 300 to 700 meters
Senntor Root on
Railroad Legislation
Railway and Engineering Review: Senator
Root of New York this week made an able speech
in the United States Senate in support of the ad-
ministration bill for the amendment of the inter
state commerce law It represents we believe
President Taft’s attitude — that of desiring to see
legislation for which there is real public demand
from his point of view but to temper it so that
no real evil results will follow nor any further
commitment to the principle of Government rate-
making or other assumption of the rights of
ownership One point is especially noteworthy
It was that if the law is such that the railways
believe it to be reasonable and workable they will
see to its enforcement better than the Govern-
ment can possibly do There is something re-
freshing in the Senator’s recognition of the sin-
cerity and law-abiding soirit of the railway mana-
gers of today It is an excellent answer to those
radicals who oppose the administration billmerely
because they find that the railway men have been
consulted before it was drafted and are not op-
posing it Unreasonable prohibitions invite viola-
tion of the law and sometimes that violation is
winked at or approved by the Government execu-
tives because they know that if the prohibition
were Btrictly enforced business could not be
transacted Senator Root ia right legislation
which can be conformed to is much more effective
than that which orders the impossible

“I take tbe baths simply to keep
myself in good condition” explained
tbe very large woman to her pretty
little neighbor on tbe next couch “It
Isn’t as if I were too stout I have a
large frame of course but not an
ounce too much llesb my husband
says He always did admire fine-look
lug women I wouldn’t lose a pound
for tbe world!"
“Well 1 would” Interrupted the red-
haired woman “Of all atrocious
things In this world It la fat'” She
eyed the large woman and continued
“When 1 found that I was five pounds
above normal I came down at once to
take a course or baths I’ve steamed
and roasted and been pounded until
I've lost three pounds Hips are sim-
ply disgusting to me Of course this
-season's styles say smaller waists and
slightly larger hip effect But I'll take
mine In effect thank you'"
“Well I confess I'm fat — Just plain
fat” commented a second stout wom-
an “I’ve dieted and walked and
taken active and passive exercise un-
til I’m too tired to move I've gone
without dessert I’ve had massage
until my hips were black and blue
Now I'm rolling ”
"Rolling?” asked the pretty little
woman “What's that?”
“Haven’t you tried rolling yet”
chorused the others “Why you can
reduce a pound In four days if you
roll for 16 minutes night and morning
and it’s the surest — "
"But I’m not trying to reduce”
“Not trying to reduce! Then why
are you here?” demanded the large
woman sternly
“I've always been thin” meekly re-
sponded the little woman “but of late
I’ve had rheumatism qo my physician
advised Turkish baths for me ”
“Oh'’’ chorused the envious ones
“It must be bard not to be able to
wear evening dress" said the first
large woman at last “Of course if
one doesn't go about socially It
doesn’t much matter I suppose”
Tbe red hatred woman winked at
the dazed little lady
“My husband would object seriously
if I should propose wearing anything
else than decollete every evening for
dinner ’’ tbe large woman continued
“We entertain extensively'
“I'll wager she does her own house-
work” whispered the red haired wom-
an to her thin neighbor "Look at
her finger nails!”
“Well” Bighed the second fat wom-
an "I can’t even look well In a low-
necked gown my flesh seems to hang
in waves bo tnat cover it up all that
I can I’m rolling and taking three
baths a week so that I can take gym-
nastic dancing My daughter goes to
a class and she has grown so grace-
ful — of course she always was grace-
ful 1 didn’t mean that — and besides
she lost a pound the first week So I
entered at once and paid for the
whole course in advance But tbe
very first exercises were so strenuous
for me that I liad to go home In
taxicab and stay In bed for two whole
days So I'm bound to reduce enough
to go back Into the class for the
thought of that $30 ticket that I
bought and can’t use Is giving me
insomnia!"
The red-haired woman gave her
neighbor a wicked look “Imagine our
friend skipping lightly across the pol-
ished floor to dreamy music!” shs
said
The first fat woman was slowly
arising from her couch The red-
haired woman sprang up and reached
the door first
“Good-by” she sang hack mock-
ingly The cat!" snorted the first fat
woman ‘‘She knew that I was trying
to get Mary first and now It will be
throw light on the legend “High Pres-
sure” which la fastened on the rear
