FRANKLIN'S ADVICE
The Way to Wealth is as Plain as the way down town
BE HONEST. WORK HARD. SAVE SOME.
This is a noted country for honest, hard working people and
many are saving some.
Those who are Getting Ahead will soon be the property holders,
the business people of the community.
The City National Bank desires to assist all people in saving
some and the force and machinery of the bank is at the disposal
of all. Anybody's bank account and wealth will grow if they
take Franklin's advice.
average price, for all'drayage, of 19 cents
a ton mile. But where there were im-
proved roads, the figures show that the
drayage cost was only 10 cents per ton
mile. Had all the corn, wheat and
cotton crops of 1006 been hauled over
good roads the products of them would
have saved $27,000,000.—Oklahoma.—

The republicans are continuing to
take the weight of their next presidenti-
al candidate by avoirdupois measure-
ment.
Because Oklahoma happened to go
democratic in an off year election, new
state democrats imagine the United
States is democratic. They should leave
home and take a short trip to learn
truo'conditions.

LAND AS AN INVESTMENT
To the man who works for his daily
bread the problem of tho future ia one
that is always pressing. If hiB thrift
pail be given some direction it will as-
sert itself to the point of providing for
the futile jn &q inipprtanfc degree,
Every fnaq cap saye. Not all Ck«.
tf every man fully realized the im-
portance of providing himself against
old age or disability, he would need no
further incentive to begin the saving
habit.
There are many forms of investment
which fhe man of small means may
adopt as a place to put his savings,
gome are goodj Botpe bad( and the in-
dividual ttiUat fully tho in-
Vestttient Before putting his money into
it.
Probably the safest form of invest-
ment is in land. It is generally conced-
ed that it is the safest of anything in
the world. Money in land is more secure
than in a bank, for lnnd is not subject
to theft, panic or failure.
The history of Iowa, Kansas, the Da-
kotas and Oklahoma will undoubtedly
repeat itself,
Lands in the southwest are cheap
now; were cheaper tive years ago, and
cheaper still ten yeurs ago. What the
prospective investor has to consider is
what the value of the lands will be in
the future.
It ia stated that lands were selling in
Iowa in 1875 at about $25 per acre that
are now selling up to as high as $200
per acre.
In Nebraska as far back as 1870 land
was bought at $15 per acre, and it is
now bringing up to 8150 per acre.
And in Oklahoma land was purchased
in 1890 at about $10 per acre, with very
little selling for much loss than $10U
per acre to-day.
Wh.U was done twenty years ago in
Iowa, what was done ten years ago in
Oklahoma, can Ik; repeated in the next
decade.
People who soiled these opportunities
in Oklahoma became rich in a few years.
This is one way fortunes have been
who float through life with nothing of
value in their possession, but who drift
from placo to place, buffeted by every
turn. The man who owns his own home
usually acquires other real proporty as
fast as he can, after paying for his iirst
property.
The man of property, be it ever so
humble an amount, gives more serious
consideration to every question. Ho is
a better neighbor, and is considered to be
a better citizen. It also makes him
moro satisfied with himsejf. It makes
him independent, and the hubit of accu-
mulating once started nearly always
grows.
One may go ahead with his present
work and at the same time a little of the
savings set aside may be jjaced in land.
In a few years you become & ,real prop-
erty owner.
There may be ft little less luxury here
or there, a bit of self denial now and
then, but it will be towards)qrli'tinite pur-
pose anfl will pot de regfet^cj. j
Nobody objects to that noise of re-
viving industry.
The Hughes whiskers are almost
big as the Hughes boom.
It takes a strong minded woman to
support the weight of a morry widow
bonnet,
\Vinning an oratorical contest in a
university seldom helps a young women
to win a husband.
When people get so that thbV can fly
from placo to place policemen will have
to be good wing shots.
If Anna Gould reads one-half tho c'orn-
| monts on her prince in tho daily press
she is hardly likely to feel like a merry
widow.
"Do you know of anything that is
harder than to get money?" asks an
exchange. No; we do not, but Mr.
Bryan docs.
When giving thanks for the blessings
vouchsafed us, don't forget that the re-
porters have been unable to locate
Eveljn Thaw for over a week.
WILL EE WEAR THE CLERICAL
BLACK OR BAR TENDER S APRON
Snyder Signal-Star.
Kiowa county is to have a preacher as
booze vender at the Hobart dispensary.
Tho governor has appointed Rov. J. W.
McCollom as the local dispensary agent.
The question now arises as to whether
the clorical cloth will be discarded, by
the reverend booze vender, and the bar
tender's garb adopted or will he still re-
tain hia clerical cloth and dispense the
boozofrom some anteroom of the church,
in which he ministers to. the spiritual
needs of his people.
The Signal-Star has no patience with
and loses all renpect for a preacher who
is presumed to be a "Man of God" who
will seek to accept the privilege of sell-
ing booze even under authority of phy-
sician's prescriptions. ]f it was wrong
to sell ljquors when these same gentle
men preached and taught that "wine is
a mocker and strong drink rasing," then
it js §tjlj wrong ta sell it.
In the old saloon days the churches
would not recognize a saloon man as a
good citizen, no matter how straight he
was in his business transactions or how
exemplary his personal life, some of
them even refusing to recognize hia
family or to in any way encourage them
in attending church or Sunday school.
Engaging in the sale of liquor was a dis-
grace—the calling a disreputable one—
and yet many of these who were then
loudest in their denunciations are now
fallirig OVet thetiiaelves to get into the
business because they see an opportu-
nity to make a little iilty lucre by put-
ting the cup to their neighbors' lips.
This may bo christian consistency but
the Signal-Star doesn't believe that
these clerical booze venders are doing as
the Christ from whom they get all hope,
inspiration and example would do were
He again walking the paths and byways
on this earth. When He was here He
drove the money changers from the
temple with scathing words of censure
and it is certninly a pity that He is not
again on earth in person as well as in
spirit that Ho might drive these monej
changers and booze vending preachers
out of the temple into the streets where
