being cat ap, and from it you can get one
section or fifty, with any desired combina-
tion of splendid farming land for raising
winter feed. Prices low — terms easy.

State Executive Appeals to Voters of
Oklahoma to Provide Better
Sehool Facilities for Rs-
mote Districts.
Ib a personal apeal to the voters
of Oklahoma, Governor Lee Cruce
asked for the passage of the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
known as the school amendment,
whioh Is intended to help the schools
in the less densely populated commu-
nities in the state. These districts
are not able to levy taxes for the
maintenance of schools for a long
term, and as a result children of
school age d© not get benefits they
should under the present arrange-
ment on the basis of enumeration,
and this naturally gives the advan-
tage to more thickly settled and
richer communities. Governor Cruce’s
appeal to the voters follows:
Bad Luck.
"They oughtn’t to call that railroad
special the Comet.”
“Why not?”
"Because comets nearly .always
have their trains telescoped.”
Accounted For.
"I will not let my wife go to these
fashionable bridge parties.”
“I’m glad you take that stand. So
you think it is Immoral to gamble?”
“No, but she’s such a wretched
player.”
At a Distance.
“She certainly tries to obey her
mother’s injunction not to let the
young men get too near.”
“Why, I saw a young man with his
Sim around her last night.”
“I know, but she had a faraway look
In her eyes.”
Out of Fashion.
“I see where fluffy skirts saved a
girl from drowning in the Chicago
river recently.1 The old styles were
the best styles after all.”
“Huh, she probably tried to drown
herself because she had to wear the
flufBles.”
A DOCTOR'S TRIAL8.

People.
Even doing good to people Is hard
work If'you have too much of It to do.
An overworked Ohio doctor tells his
experience:
“About three years ago as the result
of doing two men’B work, attending a
large practice and looking after the
details of another business, my health
broke down completely, and I was
little better than a physical wreck.
<*I suffered from Indigestion and con-
stipation, loss of weight and appetite,
bloating and pain after meals, Iobs of
memory and lack of nerve force for
continued mental application.
«I became irritable, easily angered
and despondent without cause. The
heart’s action became Irregular and
weak, with frequent attacks of palpi-
tation during the first hour or two
after retiring.
“Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas
came for my lunch one day and
pleased me particularly with the re-
sult. I got more satisfaction from It
than from anything I had eaten for
months, and on further investigation
and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals, served
usually with cream and a sprinkle of
■alt or sugar.
“My improvement was rapid and
permanent, in weight as well as in
physical and mental endurance. In a
word, I am filled with the Joy of liv-
ing again, and continue the daily use
of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often
for the evening meal.
“The little pamphlet, ‘The Road to
Wellvllle,’ found in pkgs., is invari-
ably saved end handed to some needy
patient along with the indicated rem-
edy.”*

To the Voters of Oklahoma:
As governor of Oklahoma, vitally
interested In the primary education
la this state, I feel that I can render
n* greater public service than to use
what little influence I have in an ef-
fort to arouse interest in the passage
of the proposed amendment to the
constitution of Oklahoma, that will
be voted upon in the approaching
general election, known as the
“Sohool Amendment.”
This amendment, if enacted Into
law, will make it possible for the
state to extend aid to those common
school dlstrlots where the taxable
property in euch districts Is insuf-
ficient to support as much as five
months of school per year. Under the
present provisions of our constitu-
tion, all state aid extended to public
schools must be distributed upon a
per capita basis; the result is that the
rich districts receive benefits that
are not needed, and in order to give
to these districts that really need the
help sufficient aid to maintain the
public schools, it would require, the
collection of e tax In the state that
would be unreasonably burdensome.
Longer Terms Desired.
I feel that I can oall upon the men
of all parties to support this measure
for the reason that the different po-
litical parties of ths state, In their
various platforms, have advocated
legislation of this character.
Bach public school in the state
should be open to students in the dis-
tricts for at least five months in the
year, and the state has not done its
full duty by the children of Oklaho-
ma until It h»B made conditions such
as to give every child of common
school age this amount of educational
advantage.
Py the terms of this amendment
the state would not be called upon
to render any aid until the district,
by local taxation, had gathered all
of the money for educational purposes
!n that disuMot the? the fl*e mill levy
will realize. The extent to which the
state would give aid would be to sup-
plement this amount by an amount
sufficient to procure teachers for not
less than five months.
Thin measure should meet with the
approval of every mhn in Oklahoma
who believes in good citizenship and
in good government. We have hith-
erto boasted of the high degree of
literacy among the citizens of this
state. This boast cannot longer be
Indulged in unless we do something
to aid in the education of the children
nuUfttai* eebeeU Many of the Ale-
txisls la Oklahoma belong to this
olase, and there are a number of dis-
tricts this year whlab have no public
school at all. for th© reason that the
amount of revenue collected is so
email as to make it praotically use-
less to undertake to have schools.
Tba lack of educational facilities
for the children in the primary grades
of Oklahoma is made plain to every
citizen by comparing conditions here
with general conditions over the
United States. The average Oklaho-
man indulges In the belief that edu-
cational advantages in this state are
equal to the advantages enjoyed in
the best states of the union, and are
far above the average. Statistics
show that the average time of attend-
ance in school for children through-
out the United States is one hundred
and ten days in each year, while the
average attendance of children in Ok-
lahoma is only seventy-one days, a
difference In favor of the average
state as against Oklahoma of thirty-
nine days. There can be but one re-
sult flow from such a condition, and
it will only be a few years until that
result will begin to tell disastrously
upon the wealth of Oklahoma. A les-
sening of education among people
means a lowering of the standard of
oltizenship and this condition Okla-
homa cannot afford to permit to come
to pass.
All Parties Appealed To.
I appeal to men of all political par-
ties and all professions to come to
the support of this Just amendment.
I make this appeal In the Interest of
the thousands and' tens of thousands
of children whose lives will be made
happier, whose labors will be made
lighter, and whose future usefulness
to the state will be made greater by
the passage of this amendmenL I
make this apeal In the interest of Ok-
lahoma, whose future will reflect the
wisdom of its passage and stand
forth as a perpetual monument to
those who have labored in the Inter-
est of the aspiring youth of the state.
Remember that every man who
votes In the general election who
falls to register his vote in favor of
this amendment will be counted as
voting against It
I hope that newspapers of Okla-
homa that have ever stood for the de-
velopment of the best things In the
state will call the attention of the
voters to the importance of this
pending measure. Teachers and pu-
pils alike should become active in
pleading the oause of education and
In arousing interest in behalf of the
passage of this proposed amendment.
Respectfully,
LEE CRUCE,
Governor.
The natural tendency of people In
this busy age to demand of the di-
gestive organs more than nature in-
tended they should perform, frequent-
ly results In throwing the entire di-
gestive system into disorder. When
the stomach falls to freely digest and
distribute that which is eaten, the
bowels become clogged with a mass
of waste and refuse which ferments
•cd generates poisonous gases that
are gradually forced Into the blood,
causing distress and often serious ill-
ness.
Dr. W. B. Caldwell says that If the
bowels are kept regular there will be
much less sickness, and prescribes a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that Is most effective in
reltavlng any congestion of matter In
the bowels. This compound can be
bought In any drug store under the
name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin,
aud costs only BO cents a bottla. It Is
mild In its action, pleasant to the
taste and positive In effect, a dose at
night bringing relief next morning,
naturally and without griping or oth-
er discomfort. A bottle of Dr. Cald-
well’s Syrup Pepsin in the house will
save many times its cost in doctor
bills. Tour name and address on a

Welcomed Old Friend
John Burroughs Wrote of Pleasure
Experienced on Hearing the Sky-
lark In Honolulu.
One of my pleasant surprises in
Honolulu—one that gave the touch of
nature which made me feel less a
stranger there, was learning that the
European skylark had been introduced
and was thriving on the grassy slopes
ijack of the city. The mlna, a species
of starling from India as large as our
robin and rather showily dressed,
with a loud, strident voice, I had heard
and seen everywhere both in town
and country, but he was a stranger
and did not appeal to me. Yet the
thought of the skylark brought Shelley
and Wordsworth, and English downs
and meadowB, near to me at once, and
I was eager to hear it. So early one
morning we left Pleasanton, our tar-
rying place, and climbed the long, pas-
toral slope above the city, where cattle
and horses were grazing, and listened
for this minstrel from the motherland.
We had not long to wait. Sure enough,
not Tar from us there sprang from the
turf Shelley’s bird, and went climbing
his invisible spiral toward the sky,
pouring out those hurried, ecEjtatio
notes, Just as I had heard him above'
the South Downs of England. It was
a moment of keen delight to me. The
bird soared and hovered, drifting
about, as it were, before the impetuous
current of his song, with all the aban-
don and Joy with which the poets have
credited him. It was like a bit of Eng-
lish literature vocal in the air there
above these alien scenes. Presently
