THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1917
Some women are very cau-
tious about tanning their com-
plexion, and so much so, that
they will even wear a hat to the
show at night.
We don't claim to be pub-
lishing the "only progressive
newspaper" in the county, but
dq claim to have the largest
circulation of any paper in the
county.
A man recently remarked
here in Hollis that he was in
search of a wash woman, or in
other words he wanted a cook,
and to make it short he wanted
a wife. He was told that if he
wanted a good wash woman, a
good cook, all combined, he
would have to get more than
one woman.
Now that the winter is fair
ly under way, we begin to won-
der ai>oi4 what seeds we are
going to plant- Perhaps you are
going to sow 100 bushels of oats.
Maybe part of it is good and
part of it is bad. Say, for in-
stance, that fifteen grains out
of every 100 will not sprout.
That doesn't seem lajrge, and
yet it means that fifteen bush-
els out of every 100 will be
wasted on your farm. That fif-
teen bushels would help carry
your livestock through until the
new feed is produced. More
costly than that, however, 11
means that you have a poor
stand. Why not test your seed
before you plant.it and, if it
a poor vitality, sell it or feed
it, and arrange to get some bet-
ter seed.
I wonder how it would do to
ducted in the district." Those on
the affirmative are L. A. Corbin,
Bert Branmgan, Mirses May
Mills and Josie Box, and Mal-
colm Donaldson. Negative, C.

Bro. Boyett filled his ap-
pointment Sunday P. M. He

Our Sunday school is grow-
ing in attendance and interest.
The house was about full Sun-
day and a good lesson was the
report of each teacher.

INDEPENDENCE ITEMS
J Some folks say that the rea-
ction so many farm women lose
their minds is because every
qay is like the day before—full
erf hard work and drudgery,
With never an opportunity of
pleasure or a chance to get
alway from home and mix with
the rest of mankind, In lots ot
* farm homes the mother's chair
is often vacant because of the
fact that she wore herself out
working for those who were
dear to her. I wonder if there
jfen't some way that we cojdd
Man to help her Vith her work,
IT make her life a little more
Measant and her duties a little

5ie time will soon come when
ijt cannot be said of Oklahoma
t"hat her larm women must toil,
day by day, in the hot sun in
the field alongside of the men.
Let's try, at least to teach our
boys a method of farming in
Oklahoma, under Oklahoma con-
ditions, that will make it possi-
x « ««« — - Roy and Arvella Curry spent
ask the boys to help plan the | gunday wjth the children of
work and advise with them „ Hurley
about the farm work. Or, do
we want them to be always
taught to do the things that
dad directs and have nothing
to do with the planning and
thinking of the management of
the farm. Possibly they would
take a better interest in the
work of the farm if we would
take them into our confidence
and ask them wflat they think
about so and so.—Ex.
NUMBER FOUR
Our night school continues to
hold its bi-weekly sessions.
Our enrollment is growing as
is also the interest. If there is
another moonlight school being :
conducted in the county, we
would be glad to hear from it
through , the county papers.
Our "School Club" will give
another program next Friday
evening, March 9th, beginning
at 8 o'clock. The program will
consist of songs, recitations,
and conclude with a debate.
The question is: "Resolved,
that a compulsory law should
be passed requiring all able
bodied men and women between
the ages of 21 and 50 to attend
two thirds of the session of the
night school where one is con-

The first day of March re-

March comes in like a lion it
goes out like a lamb".
Several of the young people
attended a party Friday night
at the home of Mr. Hayes.

It takes more than money to build a good low-price car.
It takes money wisely managed. It takes brains, experience and money to ui
a dependable car. .
A car must be a complete mechanical harmony. The relationship or one part o
another must be true. And it is most important that each unit, the motor, clutch, trans-
mission and axle, be built of exacting materials.
Th Chevrolet, built by one of the most powerful motor organizations m America,
conforms to these ideals. #

conditions . are favorable, is
probably a pretty good time to
sow it. By all means it should
be planted on a firm seedbed as
it refuses to grow in real soft,
loose, unpacked soil.

Girl's Statement
Help Hollis.
Here is the girl's own story:
"For years I had dyspepsia,
sour stomach and constipation-
I drank hot water and olive Oil-
by the gallon. Nothing helped
me until I tried buckthorn bark
glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad-
ler-i-ka. One spoonful helped
me instantly." Because Adler-
i-ka flushes the entire aliment-
ary tract, it relieves any case
constipation, sour stomach or
gas and prevents appendicitis.
It has quickest action of any-
thing we ever sold.
