We have now passed the 10th milestone in our existence as a Bank in
Texhoma.
During this time we have grown from a small beginning to a large
and successful business. We have endeavored to keep abreast of the
times, providing for ourselves every modern appliance and up-to-date
system to facilitate our office work; providing for our depositors every
safe-guard known for their protection and security.
We have given freely to every deserving charity; contributed to every
enterprise that would tend to improve or bring trade to our city.
We enjoy the confidence of the people of this community, and take
this opportunity to thank our customers whose patronage has helped to
make this "Old Reliable" Bank oneof the largest and best in the country

DOCUMENT STAMPS UN-
NECESSARY NOW
By the- terras i.f the revenue *> !
which passed congress this week and
was signed by President Wilson yes-
terday, the people of Oklahoma will
be saved an average of $1,000 a day.
according to a statement made last
night by Hubert L. Bolen, collector
of internal revenue. The following
telegram was received shortly after
the bill was signed from W. H. Os-
borne, commissioner of internal rev-
enue:
"Stamp taxes in schedules A and
B on documents and cosmetics re-
pealed after midnight tonight. In-
form the public."
Oklahoma has paid into the rev-
enue department since the emergency
act was passed over $700,000 on doc-
umentary stamps and cosmetics a-
lone, according to Mr. Bolen. All
wills, deeds, mortgages, insurance
policies, stock certificates, ware-
house and custom house receipts, for-
eign steamship and pullman tickets,
were required to bear the stamps.

Garlington Festivities
The meeting held at Garlington by
Brother Howard was a grand success.
He preached at that place from Wed-
nesday night of last week to and
including Sunday all day and night.
Each sermon was delivered with the
«pirit of God resting upon the speak-
er, and all who attended went with
the spirit of prayer. The best of
attention was given the word spok-

POLITICAL SPEAKING
Hon. Z. A. Harris of Blackwell,
Democratic nominee for congressman
from the eighth district, will address
the voters at Boise City on Thurs-
day night, Sept. 21.
Mr. Harris is making a tour of the
district and is meeting with much
encouragement. He is heralded as
the most forceful orator in north
Oklahoma and is perhaps the best
posted man in the district on nation-
al issues and governmental affairs.
He will make only the one date in
this county and would like to have
a representative attendance from
over the county. He will be worth
going a long ways to hear. Remem-
ber the date and hour, 8 p. m.,
Thursday, September 21.
The Marrieds Outclassed
The married men of Boise City
have claimed the distinction of never
being beat in a baseball game by
the singles. Several games were
played last season in which the mar-
rieds were always the victors and
showed that they were duly proud
by crowing considerable over it.
They even conceived the idea they
had an invincable line-up this season.
A challenge had been in the air for
some time but never materialized in-
to a game until Saturday. With Tay-
lor in the box and Lawrence French
behind the bat, the rest of the sin-
gle's line up including Bill Henshaw,
John Pulis, Walter and Frank Ham-
ilton, Lloyd Swagerty, Claude Shu-
gp.rt and Ira Myers, they put it over

To School Patrons of Oklahoma
In practically every district in the
state arrangements have been made
for the opening of school. Nearly
8,000 of the 13,000 teachers employ-
ed have been attending Summer Nor-
mals this year. In many counties
schools will open for longer terms
than ev: r. New equipment has been
placed in a number of schools. Many
libraries have been added and the
rural social center movement and
consolidated schools have been organ-
ized. For these improvements we
are indeed thankful and we appre-
ciate the influence the press has had
in this new plan of breaking away
from the old idea and making our
school system a real, live, vital bus-
iness, We are urging that more
business be put into school affairs
even if it becomes necessary to elim-
inate some of the professional tra-
ditions and theories. It has been
our plan to use every means avail-
able to make the people as a whole
appreciate the opportunities and pos-
sibilities of the rural school.
There is one condition that we
feel 'will be neglected at this time.
Through the agency of the press I
wish to emphasize the importance
of suitable drinking water. We
have just passed through an unus-
ually hot summer. It has been four
oi five mortns sinec thi wells and
sources of water have been used in
rr.any instances. Only a few cases
of sickness would caues more expense
to. the stale thnn the cost of clean-
ing all the welb. In talking with
the Commissioner c! Health two
years *go I learntd from the statis-
tics in his department that a major-
ity of the cases of scarlet fever, dip-
theria, small pox, typhoid, mening-
itis, chicken pox and many other dis-
eases started in communities about
the time or soon after the opening
of school, and his conclusions were
that this unusual number of contag-
ions diseases was causcd by the fail-
ure to properly prepare the school
buildings for school by fumigation
or airing and by negleat of the water
supply. Therefore, I make a special
request at this time for the people
in the several communities in this
state to join with the teachers and
school board members in an effort
to put the school buildings and the of position of a different nature,
grounds in a sanitary condition be- j should with great caution make new
fore the opening of schools arid to
adopt all possible precautions to in-
sure an abundant supply of pure
water for the pupils. It is as much
the duty of the district to safe-
guard the health of the child as it
is to provide school facilities for him.
Sincerely,
R. H. WILSON,
State Supt. of Public Instruction.
S. S. Convention at Union Chapel
In announcing the Sunday School
Convention last week we made a
mistake through misinformation in
the place where it will be held. We
got it Long School House and it
should have been Union Chapel. Tell
everybody you see about it for there
is not much time now. The conven-
tion is thisSund ay, the 17th.
Eye Specialist Coming
Dr. A. J. Nash of Guymon, Okla.,
Eye Specialist, will be in Boise City
at the Hotel on September 18, 19 and
20—three days or more—to look af-
ter your bad eyes. No charge for
examining the eyes. Glasses fitted.
Helpful Hints to Humanity
Since Christ began teaching the
doctrines upon which hangs the des-
tiny of all humanity, self agrandize-
ment has been condemned, not only
by the Christian world but by every
thinking and conscientious individual.
When a young man enters on the
stage of action endeavoring to make
his own way in the world he too of-
ten makes the sad mistake of allow-
ing self "to become enthroned and
reign supremely in his affections.
It is the privilege of each man to
make life a success or- a failure.
Some men are measurably success-
ful in a financial way, in ]if, but
are miserable failures in death, just
where they should enjoy the troph-
ies of conquerors. They have so
grossly neglected their opportunities
that they have missed the goal for
which the were running the race.
All those passions that are the
heritage of humanity are only sel-
fish motives and should be condemned
by the thinking, conscientious mass-
friends and just as cautiously drop
his old ones. He should be careful
in loosing sight of the sympathetic
kindness that has been bestowed up-
on him, for in this he can easily
piaoe a stone in his own path over
which he may soon stumble and fall.
"Now, the Lord was with Joseph
and he was a prosperous man."
There is a time of preparation.
The mind in youth is impressionable.
Like new fallen snow, the lightest
straw that falls thereon makes its
imprint that remains till the snow
is melted away. But when age and
habits have hardened the mind it
becomes encrusted like the snow af-
ter a freeze. It becomes too hard
for delicate impressions like moth-
er's kind words. Impressions made
in childhood and early life can never
be erased until disintegration occurs
between mind and body, and even
then they may be a help to the pos-
sessor across the "dark valley".
F-A-l-L-U-R-E to the observing
mind has been written on many old
store fronts. It is noticed through
the rurai districts along the road-
sides on the plains; on faces of many
individuals; in the woodland count-
ries; amongst nations of people where
kingdoms, emperdoms and republics
have crumbled and fell. We see it
emblazoned on the countenance of
many lives and frequently notice it
even on the neglected gravestones
of those who were negligent of their
preparation in youth when the time
of preparation was ripe.
How then shaii wealth, honor and j
happiness be attained? Don't ask I
the man who has gained all these
fore you to point the way to a great-
er and more glorious realization of
your achievements."
The unselfish man builds up his
country in the way of modern im-
provements. He does the greatest
good to the greatest number of peo-
ple. Ho strives to help others as
well as himself.
In what does happiness consist?
In making others happy.
How is honor attained? By hon-
oring others and dethroning self.
What is self sacrifice? It is that
principle in the human mind and
heart that is difficult to attain. It
is the opposite of all things low and
degrading. It is that principle that
uplifts man"and buijds character
that is above reproach. It is the ve-
hicle of deportment, honesty, cau-
tion, truth, reverance, love and re-
ligion. It is that light in a man
that shines in the would and casts
its beams n the future to guide his
steps aright.-WOHN QUILL.

been sick and the doctor was called
there to see , him. He is not yet

well to get through at all as he
