Fumln' never wins a fight
An' trettln' never pays;
There ain't no good a broodin'
Over pessimistic ways;
Smile jus' kinder cheerfully
For ihs contest won't be long
Jus' keep a-smilin' thru yer tears
An' keep on keepin' on.

There Is acme first class democracy
In the capital decision of the supreme
court.
Also the weed crop baa "pearted up"
Since the rain. You might just as
welj get ready for the harvest.

The Oklahoman maintains editori-
ally that rain is a mighty good thing.
.We give this doctrine our unqualified
endorsement.
However the capital decision will
Dot affect prohibition until more peo-
ple hi Oklahoma change their views
on the question.
We have it on good authority that
Ihere will bo more rain in June and
July. The croakers can't beat Grady
coutoty out of good corn and cotton
crops this year .
No doubt 'torn McNeal knew that if
glory there would be an exodus from
the Sunflower state to the Promise
Land on the south.

If Oklahoma City does.n't deliver
that free canital she will likely be
guilty of contempt of the supreme
Court and a lot of people In Oklaho-
ma may a'eo feel more or less con-

Chickasha has one man who Is so
pretty that ho has been invited to act

Down in Texas the Methodist breth-
ren are threatening to turn Bro. Col-
quitt the governor out of the church
because ho isn't orthodox on state-
wide prohibition which is one of the
most recently Invented methods for
people to m&ke fools of themselves.

We certainly hope It won't become
necessary to use Galling guns to get
that old gang out of office at Oklaho-
ma City. They ought to know
pnough to quit when the people by ma-
jority vote tell them they are not want-
ed. . It seems to be as hard to tear
Lackey and his crowd loose as it was
to oust old Iiaz.
- . o .
From "Vox I'opuli" comes a protest
because vacant lots in a certain part
of the city are made dumping grounds
for trash. We" haven't seen the place
tut If anybody In Chickasha is doing
a foolish thing like that it ought to
be stopped. Almost anyone should
know that tl'at's no way to beautify
a town. Cut it out also cut the weeds
end plant some garden "sass" on the
vacant lots.
. MAINTAIN THE LIBRARY
Ohtrkasha's public library should be
fctij'ixjrted more liberally than it has

j The repor's of the librarian show j
that the oeniind for books far ex- j
ceeds the supply. This Is esecially I
true In regard to Juvenile books. The j
bchool children are calling for more '
books every day. j
We ou&lit 10 set aside at least ."uu )
annually to be used In purchasing j
books. Pining the past year it hasn't f
cost over fiwx) to maintain the li-
brary. It woald appear that we ought
to be able to spend the small sum of
$1.00 ton the Institution. The levy
necessary to raise this amount would
be so small that nobody would pay
more than a paltry sum. .
In making up the budget for the ex-
cise board let the city figure a reas-
onable sum lor library support and de-
velopment. We cannot afford to have
it said that Chickasha is parsimonious
In regard to 1 matter of so great Im-
portance. Wc have established schools
of which wo are proud. The library
is a necessary adjunct to the schools
in the educational life of the town and
we should make it possible to say
with truth that Chickasha has a pub-
lic library that compares favorably
with the bos' In the elate. It is a re-
flection u)Min the town to have It oth
erwise.

HOW TO SAVE MOISTURE.
(From Wallaces' Farmer.)
When anything becomes scarce we
need to team how to save It. Rain
was scarce last year over the entire
country cast of the Rocky mountains.
Bo far it is source this year over the
territory. So long as ttie scarcity
rH'nRnuYC'Mo'ufd'siudy fow ' to
save the moisture.
Professor Worst of the North Ia-
kota station claims that If he were
to go on to every farm a quarter of a
section in aiea with seven hundred
and forty teams and haul water at
the rate of lour tons per day for a
week be would put on as much as
evaporates from the same quarter
section in a week when there la a
good moisture content in the soil the
weithe' warm and the wind blowing.
Assuming that his figures are cor
rect for his section and he should
know the ouestion is then raised:
what can the farmer do about it?
Well at t'Ms time of the year he can
not do anything about it with hla pas
tures of meadows his oats or wbeat
fields. He eight have done something
early with his spring grain after a
rainfall of an Inch provided he had
not seeded down to grass. That Is he
could have harrowed broken up the
crust formed a mulch of loose dirt.
and kept the rf !u.
He
can however do a great dealivUiey secretions being too frequent
toward saving the rain In his corn-
field ; and that Is where he Is likely
to need it most. After a rain falls
and particularly if it id a beating rain
a crust form? on the surface. Water
is constantly rising up in any good
land from the depths below; and if
there Is a emit on the surface the
particles of soil on the surface being
in close capillary connection the
moisture will pass out. After it con-
tinues passing for a little while Y.e
will see h'.s ground cracking open
whoich menis that bii; clods arf form-
er daily which meaTis that ths roots
of hla corn cut not penetrate ire clods
and can not have fu'l use of the soil.
What then can the farmer do? He
can not do anything when the ground
is muddy for If he did he would im-
pair the physical condition of his soil
but as won as it begins to dry off he
can get on with his disk or hia har-
row and form a dirt mulch. Now this
wiil not prevent all the waste of mois-
ture but it will prevent moBtof it and
put'It In J'irt the place where the roofs
want It. below the surface.
Sometimes during the summer on
many a farm after a period of very
dry weah. when the farmer has
done his bent to make a mulch of dry
dirt thre will be say half an Inch 1
of rain nrobiibly coming down pretty
hard. Now unlets the farmpr harrows 1
his land aftet the rain es soon after-
wards as the ground is In workable j
condition wMch it generally is after j
tlipt much rain he will not only lose j
that half inch but a good deal more.
For a crust will lie formed that half
Inch will he sjt(-di!y evaporated and

worse than all the water down below
on which he Is depending for raising
his crops ftUl go out after It. In this
way a small rain of half an Inch or
even an inch often does more dam-
age to the ccrnfleld than good.
Is this all the farmer can do? All
he can do now but not by any means
all he can do. For if he will Tceep his
land well filled with vegetable mat-
ter by puling half of it in pasture
and meadow and manure it each year
j his soil will hold more water than it
otherwise wonld and it will not be
nearly so likely to form a crust. Hence
the farmer who follows this plan will
not only have much more water in his
soil in a dry time but it will escape
far lesa readily and the effect of it
are seen in the large crops he grows
as compared with the man who has
used up the vegetable matter of his
soil by constant cultivation of cereal
crops.
There is something else the farmer
can do. In the drier sections of the
country he can plant windbreaks.
What have windbreaks to do with the
saving of moisture? A great deal;
for the evaporation from the soil Is
determined to a great extent by the
force of the winds particularly In
drier sections. WInbreaks deflect the
wind currents upward and leave a
comparative calm on the lee side.

Echoes Told Location of Icebergs.
Captain Anderson of the Scandinar-lan-Amerlcan
liner Kentucky from Co-
penhagen said recently:
"Life on the sea is being made easier
not so much by science as by common
sense. When the Kentucky was to the
eastward of the Grand Hanks of New-
foundland in a dense fog the tempera-
ture began to drop and the atmosphere
indicated the presence of Icebergs.
"We were at a loss to tell whether
they were ahead astern or abeam. I
thought of an experiment. I had the
'whistle blown the sound waves struck
ibe huge masses of floating ice and by
'means of echoes we were able to tell
:the locution of the Icebergs and steer-
ed to the southward away from ths
idrifUng bergs.
Russia Versus New York.
The other day the New Tork papers
!carrled a rather remarkable "story."
A Russian named Mark Selboff who
escaned from the convict mines In
Siberia announced that he was tired
of trying to gain a livelihood In New
Tork; that the competition was so
great and the strain so hard that
the mines of Siberia were preferabla
He had skwd mp hia-scant savings
until be had enough to get a ticket
back to Russia and be was leaving
to re-enter themlnes. This is cer-
tainly not a glowing tribute to the
'land of great freedom from a man
who has come out of that which la
1 pictured as the one of deep gloom
and great tribulation.
IN CLEANING HOUSE.
ThlB spring you will discover many
old volumes or plenty of old maga-
zines that you wish to save but want
them in compact form to preserve
them.
I am now prepared to do such bind-
ing of all classes of books in tho
best manner and at the most reason-
able figure. My work Is as good as
the work of any bindery In the coun-
try or even better than the ma-
chine bound books as I do all my
binding by hand. Every page is
carefully handled and placed In the
proper place. I guarantee all of my
work or ask no pay.
I solicit your work and would
greatly appreciate any work given

Why the Women Fly.
A man observer has found out why
Washington society women are taking
such an active interest In aviation.
Many have delved deeply into the lore
of aeronautics and several of the more
daring even have been vmpted aloft.
The reason is because the feminine
students of flying wish to wear the
strikingly becoming costume which
Gladys Hinckley has devised for her-
self and her sisters who soar. Miss
Hinckley when she practices flights
from the Speedway Is dressed In a
gown of pale lavender corduroy fitted
tightly. The' waist also of corduroy
Is made with what are known as
"peasant sleeves" and has a Dutch
neck. The hat is an effective as It
Is novel bet af'er all it Is the boots
which take the eye of the women and
make them desire to play at aero-
planing even If they never get off the
ground. The boots are of soft tan
leather and la to the knee. The
skirt "is short e ' Jgh so the footgear
is by no means hidden. Many of the
aviation enthusiasts are planning to
have machines sent to their summer
homes and In the fall It Is intended
to have a meet in which debutantes
and matrons will compete.
Incident! of Census Taking.
Many curicus Incidents cropped up
at the taking of the British census a
few days ago. An old woman at North-
wich hiid to visit the churchyard to
ascertain how many of her children
had died; the number was four: "I
have to keep him I am the head of
the family" pleaded a wife in Kings-ton-on-the-Thames
but the enumerat-
or entered the husband first. A fam-
ily of seventeen Bons and daughters
required a second form at Barnton
Northwlch as the ordinary schedule
has only fifteen spaces. Resenting the
persistence of a census officer who
had to knock three times before he
could get a reply a Ifoxton man slruck
the enumerator badly bruising one of
bis eyes; while a proud father in Ec-
clesall who hud a baby a few hours
old calmly explained on the census
form that the baby was slugle and not
married.
