The poor editor was dying;
when the doctor placed his ear
to the patient's heart and mut-
tured sadly, "poor fellow circu- j
lation almost gone," the editor.
raised himself and gasped: " 'Tisj
false, we have the largest circu*i
lation of any paper in the coun-
ty!" then sank back upon his
pillow, with a triumphant smile
upon his face. He was consist-
ent to the end—lying about his
circulation.

A number of new names have
been placed in our announcment
column this week. The time
limit for entering the race is set
for July 4th, and all candidates
must file their application with
the secretary of the election
board on or before that date in
order to get their name on the
ticket. Of course they can an-
nounce in the papers after that
date, so you can keep your eye
on the announcment column, for
the prairie is full of patriots.

Now-a-days when people want
anything they look in the news-
papers to find where to get it.
If they want the services of a
painter, a carpenter, a plaster-
er, a plumber or any other me-
chanic or tradesman, they ex-
pect to find a card in the paper.
They look for it. If they find
one the advertiser gets a job.
Judicious advertising pays!
John L. Brock can crease those
trousers just to please you.
If a stranger should happen in
town between ten and eleven
o'clock'a. m. he would probably
think the merchants and business
men had either entered the pri-
mary race or were in the harvest
fields. But they can be found at
a more peaceful occupation than
playing the political game, and
even far less exerting than
shocking wheat or running a hay
baler. Just go down to the big
tent at that hour and you will
find most of them attending the
Baptist revival meeting.

The honk, honk of the auto-
mobile is now about as common
as the lonely bark of coyete9 use
to be in the plains of Oklahoma.
The predestrian hears ti e honk,
l.onk.the buzz of the engigne.the
whiz of the big car and turning
sees *only a trail of sand flying
in the wake of the horseless car-
riage as it speeds on #and on.
The automobile has out-grown
the luxury state and is now look-
ed up on as one of the most im-
portant inventions of modern
times and is now owned as a
matter of business. This week
W. R. Daniels and Walter Crump
have been added to list of own-
ers—The Ford is the car they
purchased —it EXCELLS. The
Hollis Automobile Company
made the sale. Dr. J. E. Jones
and E. L. Gardner, Agents. See
them.

right. All work guaranteed.

An exchange saysf I he other
day a man happened to stroll in-
to a store where thev don't ad-
vertise, and looking around a-
mong the relics of ancient days
stored there, when he ran across
a man who was wanted on a
charge of murder, and who had
remained safely hidden there for
years.
Do not meddle with a business
you know nothing of unless you
commence at the bottom of the
ladder and round after round,
work towards the top. For if
you are successful enough to
reach the top round you will then
find plenty to applaud and assist.
But he who commences at the
top of the ladder finds it an easy
matter to descend, and oft times
with great rapidity. And when
he has reached the bottom he
will find hundreds there waiting
to kick him.
Little Bessie Mike Bradley is
with the crowd at Enid this
week, attending Federal court.
Mrs. Sam Harrison of Mem-
phis, Texas, is visiting Mesdames
W. S. Cross and Mike Bradley.
J. D. Curreathers of Mangum,
accompanied by his two little
girls, was a visitor here Wed-
nesday.
A certain writer has said that
no newspaper which took truth
for its standard would make a
pecuniary success. The press
might return the compliment by
remarking that no minister who
told the truth about his congre-
gation, alive or dead, would oc-
cupy the pulpit much longer
than on Sunday afterward. The
press and and clergy go hand
in hand with the whitewash
brush, rosy spectacles magnify-
ing little virtues and kindly
throwing little deformities into
oblivion. The pulpit, the pen
and the gravestone are partners
in saint-making.

Ycu Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman's life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time conies to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman's tonic. Cardui is com-
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can't make a mistake in taking
The Woman's Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,

for women. Before I began to take tardm, 1 was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now I Jeej as well and
as strong as 1 ever did. and can eat most anything.
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.
