thymic Gem
Old pal if you would start U e
New Year right,
Swear this with your uplifted
hand —
"I'll grab my battle ax and tight
For Crescent and mv own good
fatbf^land."
"I'll throw nway my hammer, I
won't knock;
I am going to join the boosters
in my town.
And keep my old lamp shining in
my block,
I can't afford to let my clock run
down."
"If I am a tiller of the bounteous
soil,
A man that daily feeds the fat-
tening shoats;
I'll buy for wife a car and barrel
of oil,
And get the bids all shiny seal-
skin coats."
"If I'm a school boy, this I most
solenjnlv swear:
I'll never more throw chalk at
Jimmie Jones;
For teacher I will bring some
flowers to wear,
And read m.v lessons in the
sweetest tones."

ClippinQS
The only excuse a preacher
has to offer to his wife, when he
leaves home is this; 1 must go to
a committee meeting. Some
laymen often long for an txcuse
like that.
You can do your best and then
be bested. Even a tigu re of
speech is sometimes padded.
You may have a point of view and
yet not stand on very high
ground. It's all right to paddle
your own canoe but the scenery
is never inspiring going up Salt
Oreek. Some people act as if
they thought self-controlled and
seltish-controlled were one and
the same thing.
When a man attends a dance,
it isn't because he feels the need
of exercise.
The gossips peddle a good d»al
that isn't true, but overlook a
number of interesting facts.
What has become of the old-
fashioned boy whose ambiti.m
was to whip his teacher?
"Snows may corne and snows
may go but the Carter well goes
on forever," is tbo way a Guthrie
man expressed his views with
reference to the oil well now
drilled near that city. Thisquo
tation could be applied with
ke meaning to the Crescent
test if somewhat modified. The
Carter well was started about
two years ago, more than a year
ahead of the Crescent hole. The
snail is a speedy critter when
■compared with some of these oil
tests.
Farmers between Crescent
and Guthrie are complaining a
great deal about the seemingly
endless army of crows that ate
devastating the crops that have
not yet been harvested and
housed. One farmer declares
f iat these pests of the air are in
such numbers that when be-
tween the earth and sun you are
reminded of an eclipse. Every
year this section is subjected to
a visit from these agricultural
thieves, but not in such large
nu mbers as at the present time.
Concerted action is being talked
of among the farmers in that
locality. The loss has been ex-
ceptionally heavy among corn
and kafflr corn growers.
Mrs. John Brant Sick
Mrs. John Brant was taken to
Oklahoma City last week for an
operation for appendicitis. She
was pretty bad and was carried
on a stretcher, however she had
a successful operation and is
getting along tine.
Charley Seifer left for Moline
Kansas Sunday where he has
drilling intrests.
