The wide awake businessman,

who are interested in the city's

effort to improve the town and
make it a place for homes, to
encourage new interprises that
already have a foothold in our
midst. One of the best mean a
of encouraging a home concern
is to give it home patronage, but
there are many in our city who
do not do this. La.t it be remem

The splendid showing made by
Harmon county at the county
fair and at the State fair, will
without doubt turn the attention
of many homeseekers in the di-
rection of Harmon county. No
county in Oklahoma made a bet-

than did Harmon. Already re-
quests for sample copies of our
papers, and letters of inquiry
with reference to lands to sell
and rent, are coming in. Let us
get busy and keep our county
with its splendid resources and
possibilities before the world.
Let us begin now working for a
better, bigger fair in 1916. Let

The Hawks worth twins were so much
dike that when they were little Limps
their mother was obliged to tie a pink
ribbon on .limmie and a blue <>ne on
Biille to tell which was which. When
they grew to be men Billie. who was
of a roving disposition, went to South
America, leaving his brother at home.
One evening at a function Jim
Hawksworth met a girl to whom he
took" a desperate fancy, and the girl
did tbe same by him. They danced
together a number of times, and what
dances they didn't know they "sat out"
in a cozy corner by themselves.
The very nest day the girl met Jim
on tbe street. He was nearsighted and
didn't recognize her, but seeing a lady
smiling at him he took off his hat. The
girl stopped; so did Jim.
"Upon my word," she said, "you have
a short memory. You don't remember
me."
Jim did remember her very well as
6oon as he got near enough to distin-
guish her features, but he didn't re-
member her name. He skirmished for
time to think it up.
"I certainly do remember you. hav-
ing passed, some time with you very
pleasantly last evening. But I am not
sure that you have not mistaken me
for some one else."
"How ridiculous!"
"Who am I?"
"What assurance! You are talking
this way for a purpose."
"I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll make
two calls on you and another will make
a third. If you write my name correct-
ly when I call and never write my
name to the other visitor I'll pay any
forfeit you may suggest. If you fail
you pay any forfeit I suggest."
"There's a catch."
"No catch at all."
"What's the forfeit I pay you?"
"That I'll tell you if you lose."
"What Is your full name?"
"James Smitlison Hawksworth."
"Have you a pencil and paper?"
Jim tore a bit of paper from a letter
and handed it her with a pencil. She
wrote the name he had given her on
the paper and put it in her bag.
"I atjree to your terms," she said
"But, mind. If 'there is any catch 1
won't pay. Now tell me who I am."
"You're Miss Turnlee."
Jim bowed himself away and pro-
ceeded to put a plan he had in his
mind into .operation. His brother Bill
had returned from South America a
few days before, and the two were still
alike as two peas in a pod. Jim went
home, where he found Billie. whom he
told of his agreement, adding:
"Now, Bill, I wish you to call on the
girl tomorrow night, personating me.
The next night I will call on her my
self."
Bill assented and the next evening,
after being thoroughly coached by his
brother, made the call. He askedithe
young lady to write his name on a bit
of paper, which she did, and before
handing it to him she took care to com-
pare it with the name Jim had given
her.
The next day the twins had their
photographs taken standing side by
side. As soon as the pictures were de
livered Jim put one of them in his
pocket and, with a written statement
from his brother that be had called on
Miss Turnlee on a certain date, went
to see her himself. Miss Turnlee, who
could not divest her mind of the su«
plcion that 3ome trick was being play-
ed upon her. was a bit rattled. She
was looking for some difference in her
writing tbe names on the two different
occasions. After chatting awhile, dur-
ing which period she scarcely heard
what Jim said, he drew tbe paper on
which she had written the name when
his brother had called and, handing it
to her, asked her to write his name be-
low the one she had written before.
This time she was in no hurry. She
studied the name she had written, com-
pared it with the one Jim had given
her and held the first paper to the light,
looking at it and through it Jim
handed her a pencil, but she refused it,
seeming to suspect that there might
i>e something wrong in it. After much
thought and hesitation she wrote the
name under the one she had already
written, but even then she seeme!)
loath to part with the paper. However,
a time came when she reluctantly sur
rendered it

"He llhs been here."

to bo hold.
