Don't forget to bring a load of wheat to the mill
and receive for every bushel of No. 2 wheat 32 pounds
highest patent flour, 12 pounds of bran and 13 pounds
of shorts and low grade, and pay us a fee of 12c per
bushel. We will sack the patent flour and you furnish
sacks for the feed. From each pound wheat falls under
No. 2 we will take one pound from the highest patent
and add to the bran.
NORTHEAST GLEANINGS.
(By Grandfather Clause)
James Blubaugh lost a horse by
lightning.
It. W Dahlern spent Sunday at the
home of L. If. Richardson.
It looks to us like a safe and sane
Fourth all right. We will celebrate
In the harvest field.
Mrs. Jack Bevelle returned to Sa-
pulpa Wednesday, after a weeks visit
with A J. llodson aud friends.
We failed to get our mail out last
Monday, we were starting a binder
and entirely forgot the Gleanings.
If Uncle Sam wants to flight he had
better jump onto Mexico, Germany
appears to be a tough proposition.
Last Wednesday about noon the at-
mosphere became smoky, and several
thought it was a fore runner of a bad
storm.
Oats are about ready to cut and
wheat is still in the field, and while
this is being written it is ready to
rain again.
Reporter of the Bugle went to Med-
ford Friday by the train route, accom-
panied by the city marsiial of Clyde
and two children.
That Medford Booster crowd failed
to appear at Lyle, we will remember
the slight, and will never go to the
trouble again to tie up the marshal
and pry off Die lid.
Several farmers have purchased
gasoline engines to run their binders,
some have had bad luck and tore up
their machines. The dog-gone things
won’t stop when you say whoa!
Harvest has been on for about ten
days and but very little of the wheat
has been cut, the drouth was again
broken Sunday morning, which will
put off cutting for a day or two longer.
The Supreme Court has knocked
out the grandfather clause. Welland
good, but how about Quinlan aud
Beals, tiie Kingfisher County Election
Officers, who were convicted. Quin-
lan and Beals as election officers, took
the oath to support the constitution
of the United States and the State
of Oklahoma, and to see that, tlie elec-
tion law was enforced. Had they
failed to enforce the grandfather
clause, the state would have prose-
cuted. and as they honestly enforced
the clause, the Federal Government
prosecuted. Now what I would like
to know, is wtiat has become of Quin-
lan and Beals, they are absolutely in-
nocent of wrong doing, yet they have
to suffer, they were arrested aud tried
in the federal court, on which the ap-
peal was taken. Did they have to
pay a fine and go to jail?
MISS FLING ENTERTAINS
The W. W. W's , of tiie Christian
Church, met at the home of M iss Loie
Fling to hold ttieir mouthly class meet-
ing. The early part of the evening
was spent in eDjoying music both vo
cal and instrumental, after which
many pleasant outdoor games were
played. The class was served with a
dainty luncheon which was enjoyed by
all. The W. WAV’s , departed at a
late hour all agreeing that Miss Fling
was an ideal hostess aud that the ev
ening was indeed a very joyful one
The number present was 21. Several

Mr.Clurg, Dentist,. 49-t.f
Messrs. Hugh Willett, Clarksou and
Arnett, brought a bunch of cattle,
from Anthony, to go on pasture west
of town.
The farmers are bending every en-
ergy to save their wheat and many
fields are so wet they have to be cut
in patches.
II. W. Reneau has our thanks for a
joy-ride Wednesday evening in his bit'
car, going around tiie section west

miliarly called, will locate, it was re-

wanted him to take charge of their
real estate business at Enid, but they
changed and sent him to Wichita-
The Manchester ball team defeated
the Gibbon team recently by a score
of 7 to4. and drew only an eight line
notice of tiie performance in the
Manchest er Journal. Not long ago the
same stunt would nave been good for
at least a t wo-column writeup But in
view of what happened t o Thomas
you can hardly blame tiie preseut ed-
itor of tiie Journal for being careful.—
Wakita Herald. Oil Pshaw! Grant,
“sposin” there was only eight lines,
that is more than we have ever seen
in tiie Herald about Wakita’s ball
team. What's the matter with your

A little four-year hoy came into the
office the other and said: “Did you
kuow they have a dead man down at
Frank Simmons’ store, he is dressed
just like a harvest hand?” We weut
ro the store of Sim mens & Reneau to
see wtiat had led him to think some
one tiad been killed, aud found in one
of their show wiudows a “dummy”
dressed up with everything a harvest
hand is supposed to need aud reclin-
ing a chair in the corner of the wind-
ow. The other window contained a
display of groceiies and canned goods,
which makes it the finest advertising
display we have ever seen. Every-
body that passes stops aud looks.

ATTENTION! FARMERS
Let us help you make some money, ”We will
furnish you with enough lumber to build a gran-
ary to hold 1000 bushels of wheat for $55.
and throw in the Paint to give it two coats." The
granary built of LUMBER will increase the value
of your farm the full S55.00 and an advance of
5 1 -2c a bushel in wheat will pay for the bin.
CAN YOU MAKE MONEY
ANY EASIER?
Call aud let us tell you the reason why a gran-
ary built of lumber costing only $55.00 is a bet-
ter investment than a galvanized iron bin at $100

What Are We Waiting For?
Why should we postpone our lov-
ing and the being happy that goes
with it? The wife we are going to
show more affection for as soon as we
have made a little more of a pile, the
husband we are going to be more
companionable and sunshiny with as
soon as we get a little more service
In the house, the children whose lives
we will enter more fully as soon as we
feel the pressure of circumstances a
little less, the people we are going to
show how genial we really are as soon
as we have time—none of these ways
of loving depend on the things we are
waiting for. Indeed, our opportunity
comes more now than it will come
when we have these things. The very
pressure of our day brings us In con-
taot with people who must need a
show of kindliness, and who will
warmly respond to it. The wife most
needs and will value most love in her
days when she is most being a help-
meet. The husband most needs and
most prizes love in his years of strug-
gle. What are we waiting for? The
kingdom of heaven is within am} will
not come of circumstances.
Where He Is Needed.
While everybody will regret that
owing to the many important inter
I national questions pending President
I Wilson is unable to take a well-earned
| vacation for the purpose of visiting
1 the Panama exposition this month, it
is also true that everybody will feel
more secure with his skilled hand at
the helm in Washington.
