Don t he fatten them.
We invite your attention to the
statements by the Bank of Bix-
by and the farmers and Merch-
ants State Bank. These institu-
tions are a credit to a city many
times the size of Bixby and they
serve as an evidence of prosperi-
ty in this community.
The Result of a Kiss.
He kissed her on the cheek,
It seemed a harmless frolic;
He’s been laid up a week-
They say it’s painters colic.
—Scottish Rite News.
He kissed her on the cheek,
It made him rather faint
He’s been in bed a week—
With his kisser full of paint.

Si. Saved, Mr. Farmer

SAVE WHAT TOU HAVE BEEN WASTIN6
By investing in a Silo, you
save what you have been wasting.
In buying an Automobile, you
waste what you have been saving
See the point?
As proof of these statements,
see what Prof. Holden of Iowa,
one of the leading Scientific
Agriculturist of the w’orld has to
say: “If I owned every farm in
the state of Iowa, I would put a
Silo on every farm in the state.
By the present method, 30 to 40%
of the corn crop is wasted, most
of which can be saved by the use
of a Silo.”
BULLETIN NO 137: South Dak©
ta station gives the following re-
sults from feeding ensilage to a
bunch of steers: Feeding was
done in the winter of 1911-12.
Steers averaged 773 ppunds at
the begining of the test. Steers
ate an average of 63 pounds per
head per day. After 90 days
their average weight was 989
pounds, or an average daily gain
of two and four tenths pounds.
Think op it! A pound of beef
produced with 26 pounds of insil-
age at a cost of Three and Nine.
Tenths (3.9) cents. All this was
a ccomplished in the winter time.
You are glad if your steers don ’t
actually loose weight during the
>eriod when this wonderful
showing was made. Moral: Buy
a silo now.
THE CROWN SILO.
Plans and specifications for
this Scientifically construct-
ed Silo are now in our office
ready for your inspection.
We extend a cordial invita-
tion to every farmer and
stock raiser to come and ex-
amine these plans of theOnly
Silo every designed by a
thoroughly competent ehgi-
Kce;’.
THE STAVE SILO IS SUPERIOR
It is conceded by all authori-
ties that ensilage, like whiskey
keeps better in wood than any
other material. This is not dis-
puted. The stave silo is superi-
or to any other type of wood silo.
You will consede this.
A BSOLUTELY GUARAN TEED
Come and investigate^ this
startling proposition. See the
elaborate blue prints showing
the details of this perfect Silo.
Read the dear and intimate spe-
cifications telling exactly how
this wonderful Silo is built. A
set of these blue prints and spe-
cifications go with each silo. You
don’t have to guess how to put
up this silo. It is so perfect in all
it’s appointments that we are
willing to sell it to you fully e-
rected, roofed, painted and, note
this, absolutely guaranteed a-
gainst falling down or collapsing.
Wo will build It and when finished, rive you
our personal mmruntee that tills SILO will
not full down or collapse, within three yeurs
fsom date of erection, from any cause whut-
soevot.uctsof province alone excepted, and
redirect It free of cost If It should.
IMMEDIATE ACTION NEOCESSArY
Immediate action necessary,
as we must know how much of
this material we will have to pro-
vide. It is now on the Pacific cost
several thousand miles from here
and many are bound to be disap-
pointed in getting this wonder-
ful crown silo up in time for use
this year—unless you order now.
J. A. Butts Lumber Company
Tulsa world says that socks
are being worn by the women
these long, hot days, an ex-
change is looking for some“brave
hearted mere man who will es-
tablish a style for office men to
wear filmy, silk kimonos during
the summer.”
Opportunity a Queer Animal.
The man who sets with expect
ant countance and idle hands
waiting for Prosperity to jolt up
against him, and ask to be taken
in over night, bids fair to be dis-
appointed again. There was
never a time yet when prosperity
was looking around for furnish-
ed rooms in the house of any
person on record. Prosperity is
not that kind of an animal and no
man should sit with his mouth
open waiting for the morsels of
the succulent article to drop into
it. He will catch nothing but a
few unsatisfactory flies and per-
haps a bad cold. The man who
is really desirous of cultivating
t ie acquaintance of the illusive
creature will have to put his
hustling clothes on, as heretofore
and get up and dust. •

Be A Booster.
j- The Arpcr-'cnn. Lumberman
has some timely advice on this
subject that is as applicable in
our town as anywhere else. It
says that if you want to see this
town grow you should remember
that you are a part of it and that
its growth depends as much on
you as on your neighbors.
Don’t get the idea that the future
prosperity of this town rests
with a few for it is the business
of the many. Above all, don’t
criticise those who are buildihg
up the community and do noth-
ing yourself. They at least have
the proper spirit and just as
long as you deny them your sup-
port, just that much harder their
work will be.
Be a booster for the town and
lend your co-operation to those
who had the nerve to start first.
It is never too earley to start
and it is never too late to be-
gin. _______
