IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
While all the towns around us
are forming associations of their
business men for the purpose of
improving the towns what is the
reason that our town can not have
one? It will not cost very much
to meet once in two or four weeks
and talk over the situation While
it might not do much to boom the
town yet we should get better
acquainted with one another anc
with one another’s wants anc
wishes A community of spirit
creates an enthusiasm which is
very apt to display itself in some
direction The old saying that
everything comes to him who
waits may have been true in the
old time but under the spirit of
the present age if a person wants
a thing he must go after it We
believe there is a go-ahead spirit
enough in town to carry an im
provement organization through
to good results if it were only
started and we also believe that
after it was fairly started tHe
good effects of it would be felt
immediately Perhaps not as
some cities have done in getting
great branches of industry to
settle here but in plans for beau
tifying and improving what we
have and in being ready to em-
brace opportunities if any should
come An association of this
kind it seems to us would be
pleasant and profitable even if
not much in the way of a “boom”
came from it Will not some of
the business men make a move
in the matter?
MOVING TO TOWN
Over half of the people of the
United States live in town This
is a fact established by the cen-
sus and the only question unde-
termined is how much more than
50 per cent the town folks con-
stitute says the Hutchinson
News
The figures already reported
show that 31 per cent of the pop-
ulation live in cities of over 25000
population Director Durand es-
timates that 45 per cent live in
cities of over 2500 As there is
a large population in towns less
than 2500 it is easy to see how
the per cent will grow when the
figures for incorporated towns of
all sizes are prepared
Out of 2925 counties in the
country 798 show a decrease in
population These 798 are prac
tically all counties in which there
are no large towns
The drift is steadily to the ce-
ment walks and electric lights
Farms have increased in worth
their products have advanced in
value' but the population sus-
tained by the farms is decreas-
ing slowly but surely
Prosperity has brought farm-
ers to town and machinery has
reduced the number of laborers
required in the country — Wich-
ita Eagle
J Roy Williams has retired
from the editorialship of the
Lawton Constitution-Democrat
and will devote his spare time to
the study of agriculture on bis
iarmnear Geronimo Some of
5 1911
the Comanche county Democrats
have for a long time been trying
to shelve J Roy
IIow many have remembered
and dated their correspondence
1911?
It is the business of a news-
paper man to boom the city for
all it is worth month after month
and then see $100 worth of print
ing go out of the city because 10
cents can be saved by so doing
It is the business of the news-
paper to give every local enter-
prize enthusiastic and frequent
“sendoffs” and then catch shoel
because he failed to record the
fact that some prominent citizen
has had his delivery wagon
painted To subscribe liberally
to every public charitable and
church enterprise advertise
them for nothing pay his own
way to everything and then be
called predudiced and mean
spirited because a column is not
devoted to that particular affair
Do you wonder that there are
so many cranks in the newspaper
business? It is bound to make
either a crank or a philosopher
out of a man
Mr and Mrs Dewitt Garrett
of Tennessee spent Tuesday
night with Mrs Sarah Thomp-
son Mr Garrett will farm Mr
Bowen’s place this year
WHY HESITATE
An Offer That Involves No
Risk For Those Who
Accept It
We are so positive our remedy
will completely relieve constipa-
tion no matter how chronic it
may be that we offer to furnish
-it free of all cost if it fails
Constipation is caused by
weakness of the nerves and mus-
cles of the large intestines or
or descending colon To expect
a cure you must therefore tone
up and strengthen those organs
and restore them to healthier
activity
We want you to try Rexall Or-
derlies on our guarantee They
are eaten like candy and are
particularly ideal for children
They act directly on the nerves
and muscles of the bowels
They have a neutral action on the
other organs or glands They do
not purge or cause any incon-
venience whatever They will
positively overcome chronic or
labitual constipation and the
myriads of associate or depend-
ent chronic aillnents Try Rex-
all Orderlies at our risk Two
sizes 10c and 55c Sold only at
our store— The Rexall Store

Yea we wrote 1911
My I We wish Old Boreas would
stay at home This is the coldest of
the season and must be below zero
For once at least the calendar hit It
it said cold wave
More things have been doing this
week than for a long time Monday
night a surprise on Mr Owens’ who
are going to move away Tuesday
being Mr and Mrs Stephenson’s 27th
wedding anniversary and their daugb
ter Juna Williams being home the
neighbors took their dinners and made
them a surprise and it was a “sure
enough” surprise Mrs Stephenson
was just coming outof the smokehouse
with some pork for dinner when the
procession drove up and called to her
She need not think she was going to
feed us on pork Well she just looked
as though she was stealing something
but it soon dawned upon her that she
had been married 27 years ago and
she was all smiles in a moment - They
had some things on to cook which
were utilized and a ' spread - good
enough for a president or a king was
partaken of and all went merry as a
marriage bell ' Mr Stephenson had
been working or overseeing the work-
ing of the roads and had just driven
in ahead of the surprisers Its use-
less to sav there was a jolly time
On Thursday Mrs A Lee enter-
tained her Sundayschool class to a
turkey dinner Twenty-two present
All members of the class but four
Misses Lena and Anna Mudd of Wal:
ter who are special friends of the
Lees and a Miss Saunders of Walter
who was Walter Hickman’s guest and
Robbie Ross who was Albert Guese-
well’s guest also a friend of the host-
ess The young folks made it very
pleasant for the household The girls
of the class prepared the amusements
for the afternoon which (the after-
noon) was all too short for those who
participated
On Friday Mr and Mrs Gipson had
one of the fine dinners Mrs Gipson
alone knows how to prepare It makes
our mouth water yet when we think of
it Gladys and Roy Gipson assisted
by Oshea Knowles of Temple (who was
a guest at the time) were the waiters
and did the job fine There were also
a number of parties at night during
the week but we have heard of no one
being sick after so much feasting
If we wrote it Wm it was a mistake
the Christmas dinner we mentioned
was at Albert Waldens’ William’s
folks helped eat it though
It made us feel sad to see our good
neighbors Bruce Shepards’ and Shee-
ly Summers’ move away last week
They are not so far but what we hope
to see them occasionally but too far
to run in any time when we have time
to go We shall miss them sorely
Our new neighbors are strangers and
have not moved in We shall bid
them welcome and ho doubt we will
find them good neighbors ' But some-
how we always dislike to trade the
old for the new

ing after his farm and acted as Santa
Clause We hardly got to shake
hands with him
Mr Reed has sold his 80 here to
