From present indications there
will be a great showing of regis-
tered and thoroughbred stock at the
Southwestern Oklahoma Fair at Ho-
bart, September 2-3-4. The farm-
era of this district are stocking
their farms with the best grade of
horses, cattle and hogs, and the
encouragement a fair will give
along with the comparison of the
different grades afforded by the ex-
hibit at the fair will be a great
benefit to them. Bring in yjur
stock and poultry, set them up be-
side those of your neighbor and dis-
cuss with him the propositions which
confront the farmer or progressive

something that will be of great val-

helpyour neighbor. The premiums
will not be large this year; for the
directors have endeavored to pro-
vide a greater number of small ones,
believing that by so doing they will
encourage the farmers to list their
stock.

watched her In silence. Almost at
their feet squatted Fort Hancock
whose guns were to bellow for the
last time. It too, like its fellow forts
was of the dying. Like them its bas
tions would be abandoned and the
men within driven to ways of peace
Fortress and ship, garrison and crew,
would be no more. Crumbling, un-
tenanted walls left as records of a
nation's defense, and rotting uniforms
relegated to garrets, would be all that
were left—armies reorganized and re-
duced for police force only, and sail-
ors become fishermen or passing their
lives In other occupations and rem-
inlscenslng of the sea; swords rusting
In scabbards and guns corroding in
embrasures, nothing more!
The last salute had boomed oat..
Lower and lower flew the radloplanes,
till they were close above the outgoing
ships. The ports of the peacemakers
opened, and from them fell garlands
of flowers, which fluttered down
through the air Indiscriminately upon
the doomed craft and the waves them-
selves—a tribute of peace from the
living and wreaths for the dying
gladiators of war.
Hand In hand Norma and Guy stood
upon the headland beneath the gray
beacon lights that would welcome
strange travelers from foreign ports
no more. Into the darkening skies of
the east the fleets of the nations were
speeding to dissolution and death.
The long, steady swell of the free and
unburdened sea came monotonously
hammering at their feet. In silence
they watched the relics of cruel war
sail out, saw their hulls disappear,
saw the trails of smoke diverge as
each squadron sought Its own course,
and then looked Into each other's
•yes, reading therein nothing but a
promise of love and serenity. Their
troubles had vanished as had those
fleets of the sea, and life with all Its
possibilities of accomplishment and
contentment was before them. They
turned from the great silent ocean
and walked into the golden radiance of
the sunset toward their home.

Raise Black Foxes on Farms.
There are three block fox farms near
Atherton, Prince Edward Island, where
these animals are raised for their
skins. These farms contain 20, 25 and
30 foxes, respectively. The skins ara
sold in London at prices ranging from
$500 to f 1,800 each, according to qual-
home piano of America. It is pre-
ferred by good judes of tone and
alro by long headed purchasers,
who realize that should they ever
want to sell their piano again, they
could more easily sell a Lyon &

Young Man's Action Astonished the
Hotel Clerk.
At a certain Troy hotel a young
man and woman from the country
called for a room Just after the din-
ner hour and were accommodated. The
young man requested that dinner be
sent to his wife and left the hotel for
a few moments.
Meanwhile a waiter was sent to the
lady's room with a bill of fare. She
took It from the waiter, glanced over
It with close scrutiny, and then, pass-
ing it back, remarked: "ThU ain't for
me. 1 don't want It!"
Sakl the waiter; "Why, It's a bill of
fare;" to which the young woman, who
evidently hadn't traveled, again re-
plied:
"Yes, but you have made a mis-
take. It ain't for me, I know. I don't
want It."
Going downstairs the waiter met the
young man and explained to him. He
marked off a dinner and passed on.
The meal was served, and shortly
afterward the young husband came
trudging unsteadily down to the offlce
with the salver full of empty dishes
