FEED’S THE THING
During the winter and spring of 1911-12, not less than
$25,000,000 went from Oklahoma to other states to pay
for feed shipped in During the fall and winter of
1912-13, at least $25,000,000 came into Oklahoma in
payment for feed shipped out. Tins constitutes the
essential difference between the business situation in
the state now and a year ago. Instead of there being a
constant drain on individual and collective resources for
maintenance of work stock, business is resuming the
normal channels of improvement and development.
Years like 1911 will come again. They will not bring
disaster if every business man will ‘ continuously exert
his influence to induce every farmer to “Farm Bv a
Safe System.” But until not less than 3,000,000 acres
of kafir and milo are planted every year and treated
like real crops, every business interest in the state will
be in constant jeopardy.
The acerage planted to kafir and milo should at least be
doubled in 1913; That means an average of 25 acres
on every upland farm in the state.
Sure feed crops, and livestock to consume them, should
be considered first and cash crops second when attempt-
ing do forecast the net financial outcome of the season’s
operations on any farm.

and the only passage now is by
boat. No word has been receiv-
ed as to whether the bridge
material is on the road or not.
It would be a good idea for the
business men of Wellston to
get together and* bring what in-
fluence they rightly can, to
have work on this bridge push-
ed a little. The bridge comp-
any agreed to have it built by
May 1st., but it is doubtful
whether it is accomplished or
not, and it is mighty inconven-
ient for a great many people to
have this road closed. As an
illustration, John Body lias a
farm one mile west of town,
and he is compelled to travel
about live or six miles in order
to reach it. Others living north

their lodge room, Monday
night. It was a most enjoyable
affair, the success of which may
be attributed to the earnest
efforts of Geo. Kirkman, L. N.
Clark, A. H. Hawkins, .). A.
Malone, Jack Nelson and S. M.
Lyon, ably seconded and assist-
ed by other members of the
order.
Those present first gathered
in the lodge room and were
entertained by a short but ex-
cellent program, readings, sing-
ing and music. Supper was
then announced, the ladies
being served first, the gentle-
men following at the second
table, and everyone was lilied
to repletion except possibly
John and Jim Lynch, Joe

Purity in food, lower cost of living—
these are the demands of the day.
Pure food is health, and health is economy
itself We cannot have health without health-
ful food.
The most healthful foods are the quickly
raised flour foods — biscuit, cake, muffins,
crusts and other pastry, when perfectly made
from v. holesome ingredients.
Dr. PRICE’S baking: powder makes these
foods in specially attractive, appetizing and
wholesome form, and for both economic and
hygienic reasons, such food should be more
largely substituted for meat in the daily diet.
But bear in mind that alum, or
unwholesome baking powder,
can never make pure, whole-
some food.

his absence. He will start bis

the hands of his son Fred, who
did not find a satisfactory open-
ing in the oil fields to engage in
business for lnmself.

Hotd Local cMerchants Can Kill
Mail Order Competition
Mail order business is that department of business
whereby thru the medium of advertising, merchandise is
sold direct to the consumer by mail. This business has
grown in leaps and bounds. Why? Because the local
merchant does not keep pace with the increased demands of
an increasing population.
1 he five big mail order houses of Chicago receive on an
average of 2;>0,00O orders a day. And this enormous busi-
ness comes from communities whoso natural trade belongs
to the local merchant. The local merchant must make
more effort, to hold his business and get new business or the
big concerns will make greater inroads. lie must beat the
mail order houses at their own game. He can do this by
handling honest goods at honest prices and telling about
the goods in such a way people will believe him. Fault
finding or appealing to local pride is of no avail.
It is the careful, systematic, elaborate and half-truthful
description in mail order advertising that has built up the
big mail order business. If the local merchant will be
careful, systematic, elaborate and truthful in bis local adver-
tising he will win. The advertiser who i-, truthful will in
the end get the business.
The public can never know what a merchant has to sell
unless he tells about it. There is no better friend of the
merchant and no better means of publicity titan the local
paper. Every merchant who carries on a systematic ad-
vertising campaign in his local paper, properly and honestly
describing what lie has for sale, will find his business in no
way affected by mail order.competition.

The pair.t that is fit to
put on a house (your Home)
should be of sufficient quality
to withstand the extremes and
most severe weather—This
is possible only by using paint
which is made by scientific
paintmakers who know what
materials when used together
will produce a covering which
will keep out the destructive
forces of nature, such as rain,
snow, frost, dew, heat from
the sun. These forces will
destroy (decay) bare wood or
