The last half of the 1910 taxes will
become dilinquent June IS. You
will save cost by attending to this
matter before that date.
The progressive people of Wellson
are organizing to sink a couple of
wells in search of oil. They beleive
they are in the oil belt and they have
$2,200 ready for the work.
Until within recent years there
had been ascertained no trustworthy
way of finding out the age of fish.
It has been shown that mere size does
not indicate age. Reibisch, Heincke
and others have discovered tnatmany
of the bones, scales and otoliths of
fishes have annual age rings, resem-
bling those in tree trunks.
It is said that the commissioner of
pensions has ruled that after August
all pensioners may be paid at their
homes without hunting up a notary
public, whose services will no longer
be necessary after that date. The
vouchers will be sent direct to each
pensioner, with an attached blank
whereon two neighbors certify that
thepensioner was alive on the quarter
day for which the payment is thus
made.
Now is the time of year for the
farmers to ground the wires of their
pasture fence. It is a very simple
thing to do but may save the loss of
several head of valuable live stock
during a thunder storm, such as we
frequently have in this part of the
state. A wire fastened every few rods
from the wires on the fence "and
grounded will prevent the current
from traveling any considerable dis-
tance.—Spearville (Kans.,) News.
"Tinker's dam" is not profane, ac-
cording to the Holton Recorder's au-
thority. He explains: "In the old
days when tinkers traveled through
Engiand mending the tinwars for
house wives they soften small pieces
of bread in their mouths and place
them in the corners of the vessel to
dam up the melted solder. These
bits of wet bread were called tinker's
dams. The man who says a thing
isn't worth a tinker's dam may think
he is saying something very naughty,
but he isn't."
Will Visit Lincoln County.
Professor Gould, the State Geolo-
gist, writes that he expects to have
a party in this county the coming
summer studying the geological
structure of the region and conduct-
ing investigations looking toward the
the possibilites of oil and gas. The
party will be in charge of Dr. J. W.
Beede, of the University of Indiana
and will include several advanced
students of geology at the University
of Oklahoma.
Profesor Gould i& anxious to learn
of any fossils in this locality. What
he wants paticularly is the impres-
sions ot fern leaves in the red sand-
stone or shale. If he can learn where
these things are found, he will see to
it that some member of the party
visits that place and examines the
fossils.
We hope that anyone who knows
of fossils near here, either leaves,
bones or shells, will write Professor
Gould, C. N., at Norman.
At present there is unusual activ-
ity tc draw the rural trade. Chand-
ler's progressive business men are
giving prices, Kendrick has a game
of base ball every Saturday after-
noon. Davenport has purchased a
new road grader to loan to the farm-
ers and agree to help them to build
good roads to that town, and Meeker
pays the top prices—and then seme,
for produce. This activity in gen-
eral goes to show that we have a
hustling class of business men in
some of our towns in Lincoln county
and these men, backed by a thrifty
class of farmers, are bound to keep
Lincoln county in the front rank as
a prosperous, productive county.—
Meeker Herald.
Newspaper Space.
Every line in a newspaper cost the
publisher something. If it is to bene-
fit some individual he may fairly ex-
pect to pay something. You do not
go into a grocery store and ask the
proprietor to hand you out ten pounds
of sugar, for nothing, even though
the grocer might be a personal friend
and even though the gift might not
be a large one. If the beneficiary
of advertising does not pay it,
the proprietor .has to settle the bill.
Nevertheless many people carnot
seem to learn that a newspaper pays
its expenses by renting space, and
that it is just as mufch entitled to
collect rent for every day that spa;e
is occupied as you are for the house
you rent a tenant.—Lawton Consti-
tution.
An American girl is said to have
paid $25,000 for a handkerchief in
Paris the other day. She must be
getting ready for the hay fever sea-
son.
This warning from Thoma H. Ben.
ton Missouri's greatest Senator writ-
ten fifty years ago seems almost
prophetic. "I warn you that our
great republic is in no danger from
foreign foes or internal revolution.
Its great danger today from the cor-
ruption of the sources of politcial
power. Our wonderful advance-
ment and progress and immense
home productions and foreign trade
will be a very poor recompense for
the loss of political purity, and the
appearance of money and bribery as
determining factors great political
contests. Aroused patriotism can
crush resistance to law, but ccrupt-
ion kills honor, virtue and patrot-
ism saps and undermines the found-
ations and organizations of society
and brings down the structures of
states and nation in ruin and dis-
honor."
I once knew a man who claimed he
had found seventeen errors in the dic-
tionary. If he spent as much time
looking for weeds in his com as he
had in looking for mistakes in the dic-
tionary, he would have been a rich
man. Are you waisting your days
looking for mistakes while your crops
grow up to weeds."—Bert Walker.
About all the religicn the average
man has got to-Jay is in his wife.s
name, declared Doctor Charles E
Woodcock, Bishop of Kentucky, in
an address recently delivered ir, St.
Louis.
"Mama do all angels fly?" "Yir,
Willie, w^y do you ask?" "Csuse
I heard dad call the hired girl an
angel the other day. Will she fly,
too?" "Yes, William,to-morrow."

eating important state documents
Probably looking for inside informa-
