FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1911.
The Waldron Argus makes the
wise observation that they have
never had a dry spell over there
that did not break up with a rain.
The Kansas Farmer, speaking
of the recent victories gained by
the suffragists, says that women
now have the right to vote in Okla-
homa. Well, they may have, but
we have not heard anything about
it down there.
We have just been wondering,
since the rains came and washed
away our fears of a crop failure,
what the commercial club is going
to do this season in the way of
boosting Manchester. Will we
have another booster trip? Or will
some other means of advertising
the town be devised? We must
not let our neighboring towns out-
do us. When one town advertises
and its neighbor does not. they are
in the exact relative position of the
merchant who advertises and the
one who doesn’t. And any pro-
gressive merchant can explain that
position.
Nahum J. Bacheldor, master
of the National Grange, under-
takes to show where the Canadian
reciprocity agreement will lower
the price of wheat in the United
States, and increase the price in
Canada. He points out that in
Chicago the price of wheat has de-
clined eight cents since the bill was
introduced in Congress, while the
decline in Canada has been only
5-1 cents. He lays this to the
prospect of reciprocity, and says
nothing whatever of the effect the
recent rains might have upon the
wheat market. These rains have
been general throughout the wheat-
growing states, and greatly increas-
es the prospects for a wheat crop.
And in Canada, (wherethe rainfall
has been less general) if the re-
ciprocity offers such prospect for
better market in this country, why
that decline of even 5-j[ cents?
And above all this, it has never
been brought to our notice that
the United States is a wheat im-
porting country. We rather think
the activity of the National Grange
and other opponents of the pro-
posed measure, are based upon the
old story of "competition for the
other fellow, but protects mv line
of trade.”
Just NMiat You Want
Many people don’t like tragedy
because it makes them cry; others
don’t like comedy because it gives
them hysterics. The author of
"Hick’ry Farm” knew this, but
how was he going to write a good,
strong play with neither tragedy
nor comedy. In his preplexity, he
hit upon a happy compromise. He
would write a play in which the
too were so commingled that, all
could enjoy it. And that is what
he did.
He painted the life story of Zeke
Fortune, and an unhappy story it
was. It was a picture, when com-
pleted, to bring tears the eyes of
the most stolid. Then he went
over the canvass, and touched it up,
so to speak. Here and there,
where things seemed the darkest in
the life of the honest old farmer,
he brightened them up with a
touch of comedy, of real humor.
And when he had finished, he had
a picture that would delight the
eyes of all. You don’t have time
to figure out whether you want to
laugh or cry. When Zeke finds
that his little Jess has run away
with "that dirty cuss from the city '
you may have a little moisture in
your eye, and your lip may give an
unusal twitch, but that tear doesn’t
have time to roll down your cheek,
as you are laughing at some fool
break on the part of Larry Me Kee-
gan, the Irishman who saves the
day.
By the way, did you ever see a
thrice widowed mortal trying for
the fourth time to lure some poor
fellow into her net? If you have,
you no doubt had lots of fun about
it. If you havri’t, come up and
see this play, and you will be given
a pretty good idea of how this
trick is turned. And you men
can’t tell—it may be useful to you
sometime.
All good people like to see a man
get his due. no matter what it may
be. Especially is this true in the
case of a man who has lived a life
of sin; a man who has filled some
others cup of sorrow to overflowing;
who has left sorrow and woe in his
wake. We all like to see that fel-
low get "his,” and in "Hick’ry
Farm” Darkwood, the robber, ab-
ductor, and all ‘round scoundrel,
certainly gets it.
This play, a companion play to
"The Old Homestead,” will be put
on at the opera house at Manches-
ter on Saturday, March 4th. A
good, strong company will present
the story in all its beauty, and you
cannot afford to miss it.

Fecuilar Custom That Prevails Among
the People Who Inhabit the
Banks Islands.
In at leatf one portion of the world
the paternal aunt of a family of chil-
dren is of much consequence in the
scheme of family organization. That
is in the Banks islands, a part of the
Melanesian islands in the South seas,
where the natives hold her in unusual
esteem and give her an exalted posi-
'ion.
Among the Inhabitants of the Banks
islands the father’s sister must never
Lu addressed by her own name by
her nephew or niece, but by some spe-
cial title of respect adopted by her.
A visitor to the islands tells of an In-
stance in which a woman had been re-
due;,! to tears because this mark of
re f t cl had been withhold. The
u.olhu- might be spoken to strongly,
emphatically, with assurance; but a
n v. culd never even take the Initia-
tive in addressing his maternal aunt,
but would always wait until he had
i’rst been spoken to. It was her
’unction to choose the man's wife, and
:o a very considerable extent com-
munity of goods prevailed between
aunt and nephew.
Ir, these islands there is also a
uni ie method of determining the par-
entage of a child. It is determined
cei eruouially by the act of payment to
the woman selected to look after the
mother. This woman is selected by
'.he father's sister. In the ordinary
co irso. the actual father pays the
*• oney, but if another Is more anxious
than himself to own the child he may
te lore-stalled in this payment, and
lose bis right to his own child. The
father's sister Is entitled to some of
the child’s nail parings, and she keep*
these hidden in a leaf and hung about
her neck. The possession of them has
to be acknowledged by the child, who
can be called upon to give a feast in
his aunt's honor. After the birth of
the first-born child in the Island of
Motlay all the women of the village
come to the house with their mats
and sleep there for 20 days, feasting
on a different kind of food every day,
which they are privileged to take
from the gardens of any one, indi-
cating an early practise of communal
property.—Illustrated Sunday Maga-
tine.

Young Man of Fertile Brain Saw Hie

proved It.
lip in Burlington. Vt., was a young
mtun summering. Ho was a shoe clerk
He was stopping at a cheap hotel fur
the country air.
While out one afternoon gathering
in suburban air im noted a vacant lot
of land between iwo fashionable rest
dences of the port cochere type. He
decided that particular piece of land
would be fine upon which to erect a
cheap boarding and lodging house. He
found that it was owned by a farmer
live miles out of the city.
The larmer. although shrewd, was
not versed in the value of city rfU es
fate beyond the assessed valuation. Ac
the tract was small and not damaging
m appearance to the properties on
either side, there had never been a
seeker for it.
Tho young man said he had a little
money he would like to invest and the
farmer was overjoyed to see a small
piece of land go for $700 when his er.
tire farm of TOO acres was not worth
over $2,500. He thought the city chap
was easy.
Then the young man returned to the
city and began plans to erect his new
lodging and boarding house. He let
the newspapers In on the fact that he
was going to do so and the story of
the proposed lodging house was spread
broadcast. The owners of the adjoin-
ing properties got apoplectic.
It wound up by ihe young man sell
ing them the strip < f land for the
modest sum of $5,000 after he had
actually had ground broken for the
cheap lodging house scheme.

The best way to do this is to put it where you cannot get
it on short notice. In the Oklahoma Savings & Loan Associa-
tion you will find one of the best methods of saving your
money, and when you want it you must give thirty days
notice, which protects you against the practice of buying
things you do not need with the money you do need.
We have the agency for this association, and will be
pleased to show you the advantages it offers to those who
desire to make a good paying investment, and one that is
backed by the banking laws of the state of Oklahoma.
1* will cost you nothing to investigate, and it may be the
means of doing you a great deal of good. If you have a few
dollars that you will not need in your business right away,
and that you would like to see earning you good dividends,
cal! at the Journal office and see what we have for you.
