1ITK HUNTING BOOBS
It mpv stem superfluous to sound
n warning about the hunting .sea-on.
but casualties are already lieing re-
ported so freely that the annual re-
marks may be in order.
Of all the accident which lould In-
prevented the hunting auident is thi
most ur.t ailed for.
There is the man who takes his
neighbor for a rabbit.
There is the greenhorn who thinks
the guide was a deer.
There i.s the seasonable old hard-
shell who drags his gun after him
through the fence.
There is the dub who doesn't know
.it is loaded and the one who is sure
that the safety catch is up. and the
proud guy who carries a loaded gun
over his shoulder through the thicket
with other men bchirid him.
There is the fool who rests his gun
on the bottom of the bumping Lizzie
of the rocking duck boat muzzle to-
ward him. and all the rest of the nuts
who if thty had used the care about
their guns that they do filling their
pipes woulJ have hurt neither them-
selves nor others.
The warning is for these. The
other boys -don't need it.

CURB THE TONGUE
It requires years of correct living
to build up an unblemished reputa-
tion. Often it takes but a whispered
innuendo to. destroy it.
Yet people who otherwise lead ex-
emplary lives will indulge in gossip
that starts stories that grow into
mountains Of scandal that envelop
-and crush many an innocent person.
People who cannot curb their
tongues should become hermits. They
would be misled but not mourned.
oo
. THE IDLE RUMORS
'Idle rumors ire busy little things.
You never know when they will stop.
In time they are often accepted as
stupendous facts.
Any person can suggest something
that is utterly atsurd. and there will
he hundreds of people ready to believe
it. especially If it is at the expense
of some other person.
The -next timet ou hear a piece of
.juicy scandal do not be too hasty in
awuuuwing it wnoie.
Three-fourths of it may be rumor
igrown to large proportions.

THE UNPUNISHED KILLERS
Killing people in New York City is
usually regarded as a serious matter
unless it is done with an automo-
'olle.
The chief medical examiner of the
city renoits that with H.r.K m.rsnrw
Wiled by automobiles on the city
streets in the year ending Julv ill
four hundrui of them admittedly
through (iiiuinnl negligence not one
of the offenders has been punished or
held rvbponlhi.
Here is surely a cimmis state of
nffans and one which has its coun-
terpart on a smaller si ale in many
another city. Automobile drivers
habitually bei.iletl and cnmli-mncd for
careless and illegal dtmng ami jet
when one of them is guilt j ol a lum-
inal nit he w seldom pi'iiiislnd and
few people "eem to expect him to lie.
The Luge nuiiilii r of killinir-t m
New Yoik and the fiuluie to hold the
offendeis an Dilutable obviously go
xogerner. n tlie guilty weie punisliid
these inei usable killings would
cense.
What is needed everywhere is 5ess
loose I'litii'ism of automobilists as a
class and more effective- punishmr-iit
of the few who ile"ere it.
oo
YOUR THOUGHTS CONTROL
When shi cling in the told this
winter do not let your thoughts dwell
too much upon s-lmeiing. That is op-
pi essive.
Turn them townid the warm and
sunny days of another summer. That
would be anticipation.
Dwelling too much upon disagree-
able things shuts out the brightest
side of life. It stifles enthusiasm and
renders impotent many of the best
efforts of mankind.
Wo have but one life to live upon
this earth and that life will be ns we
make it.
Bright spots should be cultivated
until they compose the greater part
of existence. Dark ones should be
eradicated and then forgotten.
Shiver but think of the sunny days
ahead.
THE KNOCKERS
When vou hear n fellow continual-
ly knocking this country ask him
where ho came from.
Ask him why he left his country-
Ask him why he doesn't go back
tbi re.
If he says he is a native of this
country tell him he is not a credit
to his nativity. '
If he is just a chronic kiiker tell
him the devil is waiting for him.
There are many other things you
might tell him but it would be use-
less. Wholesome truths seldom sink
into a tough hide.
oo
THE NEWS
An editor was severely critiiixed
l;v many of his subscribers for print-
ing the plain tiuth in his paper.
.Stung to the quick he announced
that on a given date he would omit
I loin his columns every class of news
tr which objeitton was made uy any
person.
When the paper was issued every
page was blank.
To what class of the news do you
object?

SPEEDY JUSTICE
In Chicago a reckless motorist
passed a street car on the left a for-
bidden side and killed a little girl.
He was brought to trial and con-
victed and a judge promptly jm
TXJsed a prison sentence of from one
to fourteen years.
That a the kind of judge to have.
Fines mean nothing to the automo-
hile "Smart Aleck" but bars have a
holy terror for him.
And since fines will not check him.
prison bars should detain him.
A lire for a Hie though might be a
more edequate punishment in many
cases.
THE DISAGREEABLE TRUTH
Because a man has a reputation of
toiling the truth is no indication that
his truthfulness is in all cases commendable.
Some people with even the best of
intentions do not know how to curb
their tongues. They blurt out the
truth upon all occasions and par
ticularly at the wrong time.
There are times when the cause of
justice and humanity requires the
suppression of the truth until the
psycological moment for divulging
it. Any other course would result in
a miscarriage of justice.
A wise tongue knows when not to
wag.
oo
YOUR TROUBLES
In a court the other day a husband
and -wife asked a judge to arbitrate
a family quarrel. The wife had asked
that the husband be arrested and he
had made a typical reply. The judge
asked them both to sit with him on
the bench 'for an hour or so and lis-
ten to the other cases that came be-
fore him. They sat there silently
witnessing the troubles problems and
unhappiness of others; saw so muih
distress that they were ashamed and
npologized to the judge for bothering
mm wun tneir petty mtferenees
This is a story told by Colliei's
Weekly which adds to the obvious
moral that "the best wny to get rid of
our troubles is to find out what other
people are suffering.
All of us have troubles but most of
us would have little to complain if if
we Knew what others are healing up
under.
NOT A BADGE OF DISHONOR
A city paper lays stress upon the
fact that a great many of the crimi-
nals of this country are of foreign
birth.
The editor of that sheet might also
have stated with justice that hun
dreds of thousands of our best citi-
zens are also of foreign birth.
Thete are two vital causes which
contribute to the present state of law-
lessness on the part of certain for-
eigners now resident in this country.
First our immigration laws are cut
tirely too lux. Foreigners are admit-
ted without proper investigation as to
their iharacters in their own lands.
Second upon nrrlval in this country
the foreigner unable to speak our
language is practically turned loose
upon an indifferent public to become
a good litircn or a curse to us as
his inclination and past training may
lead him.
What we need is a system whereby
a foreigner can be taken in hand Upon
arrival and converted into a good citizen.
If we are lax in our method of
treating him when he first comes to
us we should not be surprised if the
criminal element of our population
gains an ascendancy over him before
he has familiarized himself with the
benefits to be derived from good citizenship.
the possession of a foreign name is
by no means a badge of dishonor
either in this or in any other country.
A FISHING LICENSE I.S THE
NEXT THING IN LINE
The State Game Warden. Ben
Watt is asking the f.. incoming leg-
islature to make a law requiring
people who want to fish to nave a
license just the same ns those who
want to hunt and he is said to al-
ready be promising that the law will
be passed. He wants to combine the
fishing and hunting license into one
license to cost residents 1.25 the
ptesent price of the hunting lliense
alone.
ALL LIONS IN ATTENDANCE -AT
MONDAY'S MEETING
M.
E. GOODING SUSTAINS
SERIOUS INJURY IN FALL
M. E. Gooding sustained serious in
juries 'Monday morning when a lad
der on which he was preparing to
descend from the platform of his
lumber shed slipped throwing him to
the ground. He lighted on his left
heel and the sum of injuries re-
ceived was the fracture of the heel
bone and the lower end of the big
cone of tne lower leg a dislocation
of the ankle and a bad sprain of the
big tendon. He was taken to the
Memorial Hospital where the injur-
ies were repaired and he is get-
ting along as well as could be ex
pected at this time.
The Lions Club of Durant had a
100-per icnt meeting Monday noon
which is to say that every member of
the oiganization was present and par-
tiiipated in the meeting. Perfect at-
tendance meetings are the ideal to
which such organizations constantly
look forward. When all members are
in attendance it is obvious that they
profit more by their memberships
and conversely the organization pro
fits more from them.
HRACKIN'S MOTION FOR NEW
TRIAL IS CONTINUED
Wednesday in District Court the
motion of Matt Howard Brackin for
a new trial on charge of murder
came up and was continued for the
term. Brackin was recently convic-
ted of murder in connection with
the brutal killing of R. C. Means on
a highway near here last spring and
given a life sentence in the penitentiary.
CHOCTAW COUNTY JUDGE

Judge W. T. Glenn for fourteen
years county judge of Choctaw
county died at Paris Texas Tuesday
night following injuries sustained in
an automobile accident. In com-
pany with two other men. Judge
Glenn was going to his farm when
in making a sharp turn the car
turned over and he was thrown out
on the paved road on his head
crushing his skull. He was immedi-
ately taken to Paris but died last
night.
NAZARINE REVIVAL

gin at the Nuzarinc Church on West
La. St. December the 1st continuing

ture of the meeting. Our leader

more will make yau appreciate spir-
itual singing more than ever before

A hearty welcome awaits you.

FALL POTATOES ARE FINE
There are on exhibition at the
Chamber of Commerce specimans of
two varieties of fall potatoes grown
by Uncle Doug Anderson on J. R.
McKinney's farm northeast of town.
They are among the finest eve; seen
here. It is proven beyond doubt
that fall potatoes turn out well as a
fall crop in this country and potatoes
are probably the most useful single
article of food known to man.
