Mark Twain discovered that the
ant had a bogus reputation for being
a worker, and the editor of the Du-
rant Democrat says that the bee's
energy has been greatly overesti-
mated, as observation discloses that
bees work only three months In the
year and loaf nine.

Several days ago the Sapulpa Her-

had committed suicide, and In a later

did not commit suicide, and did not

conversation between the editor and
the woman.—Dally Iklahoman.
Sometimes the progress of a town
or community Is greatly hindered be-
cause everybody wants to lead things
—fellows who won't play unless they
are allowed to pitch the game—and
then sometimes a town or commu-

of no one willing to assume the re
sponsibillty and labor Involved of
leading. Then Is the time to take
the reins without hesitating. Can
you push or pull as the occasion may
demand?—Clinton Record.

C. A. Brumager, a showman, gave
an entertainment at the school house
last Saturday night and as he was
about to give the closing act, "A
Dive for Life," which consisted of
sliding down a wire stretched from
the belfry on the school building to
a telephone post at the corner, by
A. M. Darling's residence, by his
teeth. As he was about midway the
wire broke, letting him fall about
forty feet, breaking both bones In
the lower left leg, the bones protrud-
ing and sticking three or four Inches

called and Mr. Brumager was taken
to the Hopkins hotel, where Dr. E.
A. Kelleam dressed his wounds. As

We are to vote upon having juries
composed of fewer than twelve men.
Capital cases will require twelve
men. The bill provides for a consti-
tutional amendment to be voted upon
by the people. • • • When the legis-
lature voted not to investigate the
other members of the state corpor-
The "short ballot" amendment
proposed by Judge John H. Burford
of Guthrie and which has been pend-
ing before the senate, ought to be
given careful consideration. The
people of this state are undoubtedly
In favor of this reform. The fac:
that this amendment was proposed
by a republican is not sufficient ex-
cuse for the legislature to offer for
failure to give it consideration. We I
do not believe the Burford amend- 1
ment goes far enough, but It cer-
tainly is a very great improvement
over the present condition. Under
the Burford amendment we would
elect a governor, lieutenant governor,
secretary of state, state auditor,
state treasurer, attorney general,
corporation commissioners and the
officers of the Judiciary. We do not
see any necessity of electing a secre-
tary of state or an attorney general.
The secretary of state Is purely a
clerical officer and his election is not
necessary to maintain the time-hon-
ored theory of checks and balances.
The attorney general Is in reality the
attorney to the governor and then-
is no good reason why he should no;
be appointed by the governor. While
we should like to see the ballot short-
ened more than Judge Burford pro-
poses, yet the Burford amendment
will be of tremendous value to the
state. It is up to the democrats to
give this matter serious considera-
tion. They owe It to the party and
their constituency to give the people
a chance to vote on this amendment
A prosperity item from the Liberal
News: "Twelve years ago the farm
land that sold at from $200 to $300
per quarter section is today selling
at $3,000 to $4,000. About all thn
readers of the paper who note the
sales in today's paper are acquainted
with these farms and know well the
value they were thought to possess
a dozen years ago. We can remem-
ber clearly having heard one citizen
commenting on the sale of a 160-
'acre tract with a little improvement
about six miles miles from town sell
iing for about $40c>, and the burden
j of the opinion was that some poor
fellow had been robbed of his baiiK
account. You could not buy thai
same land today for less than $9,-
000."
things other papers tell
Last Friday Paul Kruger of the
Ware neighborhood sold five hogs to
W. X. Stone for $106.64. The hogs
weighed 1,720 pounds; four were a
year old and the fifth was the old
mammy of the four. He still has
three of the same litter, which at the
same rate are worth $64, making the
total value of the old sow and her
family $170.64. Xot bad. even If
bogs are worth a couple of cents per
pound less than a year ago, and Mr
Kruger is well satisfied that raising
hogs pays. On Tuesday H. L. Le-
Clere of the Wilcoe neighborhood
sold Mr. Stane five hogs whose ag-
gregate weight was 2.060 pounds and
brought hftn In even figures $120.
The hogs were pastured until fall,
and the tact that they grew steadily
is evidenced by their weight. And
he also thinks raising hogs pays.—

Double Service Tire* are double
the thickness of the best standard
make tires.
This 100< greater wearing surface
naturally gives that much more mile-
age and service. The average of lJ
plies of tough fabric and one inch
surface tread rubber makes these
tires ab olutely punrtnreproof.
These tires excel all ethers for use
in the country over rough and rug-
ged roads as well as on hard pave-
ments. They are as easy riding and
resilient as any other pneumatic tir?
the air space and pressure being
the san.e.
They are the most economical and
"care free" tires made and are used
where tires must be depended on
and tire troubles cannot be tolerated.
Many Double Service style tires are
in use in the United States govern-
ment and European War service.

Pleasant Hill. N. C.-"l suffered lor
three summers," writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, "and the third and
last time, was my worst.
I had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about. Could not do any of my
housework.
I also had dreadful pains In my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, 1
would have to give up and lie down,
until il wore off.
I was certainly in a dreadful state of
health, when 1 finally decided to try
Cardui. the woman's tonic, and 1 firmly
believe I would have died if I hadn't
taken it.
After I began taking Cardui, I was
greatly helped, and all three bottles re-
lieved me entirely.
1 fattened up, and grew so much
stronger in three months, I felt like an-
other person altogether."
; Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle-
' acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonio
effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner-
vous system, and helns to make pale,
sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you, what it has
done for them. Try Cardui today. ^

"I
Thursday a representative of the
Republican made a trip with Dr. W.
H. Rhodes to his farm east of Gray
and made a general inspection of the
silo, and his stock. At the farm we
found Harrison Miller, who is a part-
ner of Rhodes, in the farm opera-
tions busily engaged in choring and
fixing up about the place, and he
took special pains to show us the
silo, his method of feeding and the
ravenous manner in which all kinds
of stock on the place devoured the
ensilage, and with a peculiar wink
he also informed us that he was very
anxious to reach a certain depth of
the silo where he had, after cutting
It In half, deposited a large water-
melon, so If some day you notice him
coming in town in his car at a rate
of spead far exceeding the lawful and
safe limit do not be surprised or ac-
cuse him of having been the victim
of some hootlegger. The present
winter they have carried through suc-
cessfully 110 hogs, a number of milk
cows and calves and a number of
horses and mules, none of which ex-
cept those they have worked have
had anything to eat except the ensil-
age, and they are all In good condi-
tion, and while the hogs are not fat,
they are in fine, healthy, growing
condition, and they have now placed
about half of them in the fattening
pen and In addition to the ensilage
are feeding them ground feed. In
the barn adjoining the grain bins
they have installed a feed grinder
which Is run by a gasoline engine,
and when the weather permits work-
ing outside they put In their time
grinding feed. Dr. Rhodes find Har-
rison Miller are both well pleased
with the results obtained from their
silo.—Bearver Republican.
