CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.
I'ardon us if we became excited sind
exhibit an inordinate amount of emo-
tion. Our excuse is that we "feci just
bk happy u a big sunflower that npds
iimi bend in the breezeg." And. why?
Simply because for once we have seen
the "power of the press" vindicated.
The evidence is unmistakable and you
Juki can't get away from it. That be-
ing the case why idiouldn't we rejoice
with exceed ins great joy?
Kor years and yeara we have been
periodic-ally raising a war cry with
a view to stirrins up thin usually
placid and peaceful community and
HtartiUB a "city beautiful" campaign.
We have written columns and col-
umn urging organized effort lor the
purpoKe of bt-autifyiiiB thu towu but
"nary" once go far uh apparent did
our broadsides cautte a aingle person
to bat an eye. Hut at lat we see the
fruition of our labors and naturally we
feel (sreatly encouraged. Kor once
we have actmlly moved one of our
fsleeiiiej n-uilern lr. J. B. Kelsay to
write a communication In whiiu he
manifest pleasure when the notes
that the Kxpress bus "at last begun to
agitate civic improvement" and he
hope that we'll keep it up. So here
we go with frehh courage and renewi d
determination.
Air. Kelsav makes some suggestions
that are worthy of attention but what
rejoice us most is to find that tin?
ubji-ct Is finally arousing some inter
est and that is really what is needed
tiiosL. As soou ii we make up oiu
Hindu that we want to have the pi el
tiest town In the state we can have
it. It is a fine subject f r public dis-
cussion and we hope other readers of
the Kxpress will contribute to the utlk
Mr. MeN'abb our furm agent who has
I. ud much experience in civic improve
inetit work has agreed to assist us in
organizing and We ought to start the
movement at once. Let's translate
our talk into action wltho-it delay

J. S. As"kew of Chit-kasha former

MORE OPTIMISM
A special dispatch to the Dallas
News from Chicago under date of
January : U brimful of business op
timism carrying a repetition of the
hopeful prophecies that were freely
voiced at the opening of the new year
J. Ogden Armour is quoted as say
ing "The business outlook is rosy in
deed. The manufacturers will be busy
and motley will be easy."
Jumna B. Korean president of th
Kirst National bank of Chicago ob
served that the "tlo ahead" spirit was
dominant and this fact presaged bet
ter business.
Other facts noted In the news dis
patch were as follows:
Since January 1 several thousand
workmen who had been laid off late
In 1 9 J have been put back to worK
in different Industries. Reports are
that working forces will be still fur-
ther Increased.
Among the points advanced as Indi-
cating an active business year are:
The seeming certainty that the rail-
roads will be granted an increase of
five per cent In freight rates.
More plentiful supply of money and
lower interest rates.
Coming inauguration of the new
system of regional reserve banks
which is counted on "to .make panics
lllipi'SKIDie.
Better understanding between bus-
iness men and the administration.
And now the wires are crossed
again and it Is very difficult to catch
the drift of the conversation. Some
of Warden Dick's critics have been
telling us that the trouble at the
prison was all due to lix discipline
but now comeg Miss Kate Barnard
with the information that il was caus
ed by the . practice of cruelty upon
the prisoners. It seenm fairly certain
that somebody is mistaken about it.

Again let us give thanks that our
land is saved from devastation at the
hands of the blood-thirsty Japs. It
looked reasonably warlike a few days
ago in some press dispatches but
the ominous cloud has scudded away.
Baron Makino the Japanese foreign
minister made a statement Saturday
that dissipated the idea that any sort
of bre:ik with t'ncle Sam is - immi-
nent. In reply to a formal inquiry the
minister said: "It is the purpose of
the imperial government to settle the
question in as advantageous .a manner
as possible and I believe the Ameri-
can government is taking measures
of investigation looking to a settle-
ment by a just method." It was fur-
ther indicated that Japan is looking
to the settlement of Uie alien land
controversy through the negotiation
of a new treaty.
Perhaps you have wondered why so
many tlitngs are happening at that
new town Wilson not far from Ard-
niore on the Ringling road. One rea-
son is that C'orb Bardlet one of the
most ialented newspaper correspond-
ents jn the state 1ms moved there aaid
is on the job as press agent. Wilson
is busy no doubt but it is still a
small burg. However the amall pop
ulation didn't discourage Sarchet from
sending out the news that Wilson is
ripe for a league baseball team. Any
piece of news that originates any-
where between Arkansas and the Iian-
handle is liable to bob up under a
Wilson date line.

JUST A THOUGHT
Ere the Day Is Gone.
Most Joyous Life. '
If a man could take his choice of all
the lives that are possible on the
earth there is none so much to be de
sired for its joy-producing quality as
a truly self-denying consecrated
Christian life. Henry Ward Beecher.
EXPRESS PACKAGETTES.
1 think I'll buy a honking car.
And o'er the world I'll travel far.
No more for me long days of toil
I mean to say when 1 strike oil.
However an idle junior is frequent-
ly a very busy critter.
Of course a peppery PaeHagette
would be relished if it hit the other
fellow.
Si Simp says he always notices that
there is more dust in the air when the
wind is blowing hard.
According to the doctor's latest bul-
letin the oil fever patient's tempera-
ture is rising quite rapidly.
I'ncle Hi says the cost of living
d'dn't bother quite as much when ma
used to make her own dresses.
But even if he is not given to vanity
a -man will seldom admit to himself
that he is as homely as he really is.
The mere fact that a boy has
patches on his clothes is no sign th'U
he won't be a millionaire some day.
If a man would just make the prop-
er effort to show off well at home the
rest of his conduct can be viewed
with charity.
Moreover we'll have to say this for
the bag worm: if he shows too "much
pernicious activity he will furnish us
a theme for quite a bundle of Pack-
agettes. A Chiekasha man says that never
since have been such glorious days as
were those in childhood down on the
farm when they used to get up at 3
o'clock in the morning to start to the
circus.
Il was to be expected. One chicken
raiser has already gone to bat with the
report that he bas a hen which lays a
double-yolk egg "every other day" and
he expects her to m her batting aver-
age up to two a day.

Didn't Want to Go.
"1 think it would be a good plan to
send Willie into the country for a
month" said Willie's father; "he's
never been on a farm and it would be
a novel experience for him."
Willie hesitated and when pressed
for a reason said "I don't want to go.

don't want to go where they have
