A bunch of high flyers will he
in Wichita next week. They are
going to have an aerial meet at
that place.
Keep your eye on Foraker,
tin- Queen of the Osage and see
how soon she will grow to be
a city of five to ten thousand
people.
What can prevent a town
located in the heart of so many
natural resources as Foraker
from soon becoming a great and
ever growing city?
It seems funny why some peo-
ple can't see when a cement
sidewalk is not ready to walk
ou. Very near every piece of
' walk put in has been marred.
With the budding of spring
would it not be wise for the town
to take on a new lease of life
and get buisy with our commer-
cial club and get things lined up
so we can do something.
Down in Kentucky a mob took
a negro and strung him up to the
rafters of the opera house and
sold shots at him at so much per
and the money to go the family
of the man the negro killed.
"Good mute'' is a subject that
is promised its full measure of
attention in an almost nation-
wide movement, so novel and
apparently so prrctical that it is
certain to attract attention in all
parts of the country dnring the
coming summer and fall. Even
the railroads are to take a promi-
nent paat in the promotion of
improved country highways,
according to plans outlined by!

roads and the American Associa-1

Never Out Of Work.
Tne busiest little things ever made
are Dr. King's New Life Pills. Every
pill is a sugar-coated globule of health,

languor into energy, brain-fag into

headache, chills, dyspepsia, malaria.

Newspapers cannot sell goods, nev-
er could and never will, but only sell
the lield. It's up to the advertiser to
do the rest. There are few advertis-
er:; who do not think the publisher
is to blame if they get no returns. 1
have had them say to me, in nil ag-
greved tone, "1 don't get a single in-
quiry." Vet I am absolutely certain
hundreds of readers to whom that pa-
per goes spend thousands of dollars
! annually for the product this man is
trying to sell. Js the publisher to
blaine.' Why one advertiser gets re-
turns and another doesn't is simply
because the successful one under-
stands human nature and knows what
arguments pull business. Advertising
after all, is simply salesmanship
paper, less the personality of the man
selling goods. For this reason it
must be written to the point.
The pulling power of an advertise
ment depends on these things. It
must be in the right medium; it must
be attractive; it should be changed
often. The argument must be logical
and the statements made must be
proved. Reasons ought to be given
for every assertion made. Illustrations
should be arguments themselves not
merely space fillers. If the adver-
tiser will do this he cannot say adver-
tising does not pay him, for it will.
Saved His Mother's Life.
"Four doctors had given me up,"
writes Mrs. Laura Gains, of Avoca,
La., "and my children and all my
friends were looking for me to die,
when my son insisted that I use Electric
Bitters. I did so, and they have done
mo a world of good. I will always
praise them." Electric Bitters is a
priceless blessing to women troubled
with fainting and dizzy spells, backache,
headache, weakness, debility, constipa-
tion or kidney disorders. Use them
and gain new health, strength and
vigor. They're guaranteed to satisfy

across the country at forty miles an
hour.
The parlor as a parlor will soon be a
relic of the past. The very name seems
to suggest stillness and lack of com-
fort. The new houses will have the
best room,- the one in which the whole
family gathers, a warm, sunny place,
a home room in its truest sense. The
nest generation will not waste space on
parlors. Perhaps a little library, for
privacy, will also lie indispensable to
many. This eheery room of the future
will hold the piano, the general books,
the piclnres, work baskets and every
thing that serves to make a home a
heaven of rest for loyal hearts. Speed
the day. *"v

Courtesy At Home.
"Can one possibly keep up the cere-
monies and conventions of society at
home?"
By "courtesy at home" I do not
mean those rivets which seem necessary
to hold society together, but the kind-
ness and consideration which should be
the habit with every one of us. So
much a habit that it will become sec-
ond nature and no more easily laid
aside at will than one's head.
The root of bad manners is selfish-
ness. When self ia first, consideration
for others lags far behind, and in time
will disapear altogether.
The are men who display toward
their womankind manners that they
In connection with our fussing about
Mexico someone has called attention to
the vast unoccupied grazing lands in
that country and to the fact that the
great cattle ranches of the I'. S. are
lisappearing before the advance of
small farms, the intimation being that
we ought to grab Mexico in order to
bolster up our supply of meat. But
let's don't worry about meat.
While we Americans are undoubtedly
the greatest meat eaters among nations
not barbarous, science and sense are
silently but strongly pulling us away
from meat diet. There are today,
our nation, probably ten people who
eat little or no meat where there was
one such 20 years ago, when millions
of acres of our country were occupied
by the great cattle ranches.
The change has not been largely due
to increased cost of meats. Simply,
a lot of people have been learning that
there are not only cheaper, but cleaner,
fresher and more easily secured.
There are still plenty of people who
demamd meat but with folk outside
the ranks of manual labor meat is
rapidly losing its standing as a necess-
ity. Now-a-days, even people who can
get meat three times a day deny them-
selves. They know better. We have
not so many great cattle ranches as
formerly, bift we have many, many
more kitchen gardens and hen coops
and a lot more knowledge as to what
will best make the human machine go
smoothly and for long.

Because Foraker is only just starting to grow and with
growth Town Lots will grow in value.
Foraker will grow becausc in the near future the lands around Foraker will all
be under cultivation and there is enough land around Foraker to support
a city of 10,000 population.
Remember, Foraker is a Government townsite. The U. S. Government has
never made a mistake in locating a townsite in Oklahoma. Every govern-
ment townsite in Oklahoma has "made good." Put some of your
money and allof your faith in Foraker and "watch her grow."
