Picnic for Illinois People.
All people living in Washita
county who are former residents
of the state of Illinois will meet
in the grove near the Cordell
Academy in Cordell, Oklahoma,
on Decoration Day, May 30,1911,
at 10 a. m., and will spend the
day in-an old-fashioned basket
picnic. Every Illinois family in
which one or more of the mem-
bers of the family are former
residents, are invited to come
and enjoy the day with old
friends from the grand old state
of Illinois. A short program of
speaking, reading and music will
help to make the day pleasant.
Every family is requested to come
with well filled baskets and din-
ner will be served on the grounds,
By order of the committee.

Avoid undue criticism. If a
life be pure, let all oddities alone.
If you are convinced that a not
over brilliant young man is try-
ing to live a clean life and make
an honest record in the world,
don't pick him to pieces in your
after-party talks, even if he is
little bit of a bore or a trifle close
or rather prosy. A pure man is
better than a brilliant man any
day, and truth and honor make a
better crown than cleverness and
wit. Set your aim in this world
toward the making of happy
hearts and homes, as the woman
spoken of in the play "Clitto,'
who "made the grass a little
greener for her foot passing over
it." Strive not so much to be
admired as to be loved, and seek
to awaken that love in the "little
ones." whom the master especial-
ly commended to our care. —Ex.

Woman's Hats.
They look like the tip end of a
hard winter soaked in woe. They
are without form and void; they
are ungainly, ugly, shapeless,
freaky and grotesque. Put these
hats on the man or the dogs or
horses and they will look like the
devil before breakfast.—Emporia

The reason the man rises is the
same reason for a bullet's rising
when shot from a gun into the

it takes some time for gravity to
negative that velocity. -Harper's

We have the largest co-oper-
ating system located in Okla-
homa. No matter where you
are located, or what you have
to sell or trade, we can as-
sist you in getting what you
want for it. We know you
had rather sell for cash than
to trade. We also know that
cash sales are slow. We fur-
ther know that the same con-
ditions exist just now in prac-
tically all parts of the coun-
try. We have therefore in-
augurated a system of ex-
change that overcomes these
conditions and makes it pos-
sible and easy for everyone
to trade what he has for what
he wants.
We have absolutely the cor-
rect system for matching
trades. If you have some-
thing-real estate or mer-
chandise-with a value, and
will be honest with yourself,
with us and with the other
fellow, we can assist you in
getting what you want for it.
Small, legitimate deals re-
ceive as careful attention as
larger ones. There is no deal
too large for us to handle,
and no distance too great to
overcome.
See us about the great Colo-
rado irrigating system, the
great and chief advantage of
Colorado farms, and one it is
hard to overestimate. The
farmer there does not have
to rely on the rainfall for the
growing of his crops. Irri-
gation is a practical insurance
against crop failures. Think
what it means to a farmer to
live where crop failure is
never known, and where the
climate is delightful and
where healthfulness and com-
fort are
Now call and talk this over
with us and look over our
list, and I believe we will
have just what you are look-
ing for, no matter where you
want to locate. We have
land in Kansas, Arkansas,
Missouri, Colorado, Texas
and Oklahoma, and have here
a few bargains to offer you.

Did you know that the high

more I would do it.—Henry Scott.
