Not long ago, in Chicago, a fanatical father
shot his son because he was running with evil as-
sociates and getting into evil habits; the father
wanted to keep him out of the penitentiary whero
ho probably would have gone sooner or later. It is
strange that so many fathers wait until the peni-
tentiary looms large on tha horlson before they at-
tempt, as this father attempted, though with less
success perhaps since their treatment is not so
strenuous, to keep their sons outside of those stone
walls. It seems that they do not realise tha power
of evil associates and evil habits early in life. Why
do they allow their young boys to wander about at
night free to choose whom they will for friends, and
what they will for entertainment T
We can all be optomists
Of the finest type and kind,
If we just remember others
An’ show a kindly mind.
Help them to see the better life
Avoid the world’s wickedness
And scorn its awful strife.
Oh! we can all teach, the glory
Of the upper an’ better way;
We can show the weak the coining
Of a grand an’ glorious day.
We can help to right the wrong,
When we chase away the sorrow
With potomistic song.
If you cannot be an optometrist
Just be a good live optomist.
See an’ read the better life
Not the wranglin’ and the strife.
Cheer up! Quit being droll
“The optomist sees the dough nut
The pessimist the hole.”
If things don’t go just right
An’ you are beginin’ to slip
Just take a little optomism
And get a firmer grip.
Just keep on a doin’ right
‘Til you reach the upper mesa
With its never-endin’ light.
Oh! Ther’s a lot of good
That you have never seen.
You better quit fault findin’
Change the picture on the screen—
Made by the things you do—
Lest you hear Saint Peter say,
“No! You can’t get through.”
—W. H. KINDRED.

YOUR HOME TOWN FIRST
Work for your own town.
Beautify it. Improve it. Make it attractive.
The World War and the Treaty of Peace and
the Protective Tariff and all such things are im-
portant subjects but what’s the good of cleaning up
the world unless you sweep your oyn doorstep.
The city, whose main street is dirty, sordid-
looking, cluttered, uninviting, suffers much. Such
a city wants to be cleaned, recreated, made a thing
of beauty so that people will come miles to see it.
The best advertisement of your business is the
town you live in.
Towns get reputations as well as men. Make
your town talked of all over the State. It will thus
draw people. And where the people come, there is
prosperity.
It does not take money. It takes something
that is scarcer. It takes cooperation.
Get together. Organize for civic improvement.
Develop the civic nerve.
Rid your town of one eyesore after another.
Clean up the vacant lots and plant them in gardens.
Make a cluttered yard a disgrace. Make public
opinion too hot for those who will not help.
It pays. It will promote law and order. It
will help in the education of your children. It will
draw factories and other business enterprises to
your locality.
Shiftlessness, untidiness, dirt and selfishness, as
shown in your streets and buildings, react upon
your people.
Such things make your boys and girls grow up
hating their home town.
Make your home town a children’s paradise,
something their memory will lovingly turn back to.
Look after your amusements, your parks, your
playgrounds, your theatres, and all your other means
of communal enjoyment.
Make your homo town happy.
It pays.
—Dr. Frank Crane.

The Farmers’ Loss.
It will be of interest to our readers in Pawhuska
and vicinity to know that the Farmers’ National
Council, after an investigation lasting for several
months, has filed a report showing that the farmers
of the United States lost more than six billions of
dollars last year. It is of interest because it will
prove so quickly that the ones who claimed the
farmers of this country were profiteers didn’t know
what they were talking about.
According to the report, the total cost and ex-
penditures on all furms last year was thirty-one
billion dollars. The total valuo of the crops was
sixteen billion, and the value of the animal products
nine billion. The labor item alone, the amount paid
by the farmers for help, was five billion dollars.
Freight charges amounted to six hundred million.
It is ubout time that some o fus were estimating
the farmer at his true worth, and appreciate the
many disadvantages under which he labors. He can
not take a vacation, like most of us, for the farm
must run every duy. He cun not stop at noon on
Saturday and take up his duties Monday morning;
there Is much to bo done Suturdny afternoon and
one Sundays. Then, the farmer cannot surround
himself with all the modern conveniences known to
the city. Most of hla work Ib drudgery, pure and
simple, and that of his wife is nothing else. Hu
cannot adopt an eight-hour day, becuuse the weeds
uro growing ull the time and insocts do not work
union hours. In fact, we could recite a hundred
reasons why the farmer Is deserving of greater
credit that most people give him—and any one of
the reasons Is sufficient to stamp as a lie any state-
ment to the effect that the farmers of this nation
are profiteers.

Trouble comes to all of us, but each one is
Interested only In hla own brand. Bear this in mind
and don't bore otheff people by constantly repeating
your troubles to them.
