The Okemah Ledger says : Farm
ers who devotes the next few years to
feed crops, scientifically cultivated
and fed to a good breed of cattle
and hogs, will ride in his own auto
mobile if he cares to spend his sur-
plus in that way.
Illinois is the first state east of the
Mississippi to grant the franchise ti
woman who can now vote for presi_
dent and for all municipal officers.
This is not the full franchise which
will come in due time,but it is a ong
itep in that direction. Now lets see
if tha women will help to clean up
some t:f the bad spots in municipal
affair.
There are 64,000 people in Alaska
Half of those are Indians, Esquimos
Chinese and Tapanese. Only one
man in each six are married of the
white population. The country is
larger than Sweeden, Denmark, Nor-
way and Finland combined in which
have a population of over twelve
million in the same latitude of Alaska.
The future possibilities of Alaska are
considerable as will be understood
by this comparison.
A successful protracted meeting
held by Eld. A. G. McCown at Ar-
cadia closed Monday night with a
banquet in honor of the new mem-
bers. The Arcadia Gazette says of
'the meeting : "The revival meeting
is progressing. There have been
several additions to the church, five
were baptised last Tuesday. They
had two baptisings in one day. One
candidate for baptism wanted the
creek all to himself, we suppose, or
got ir. a hurry and couldn't wait un-
til evening so had the job done in
the morning
A high school boy in a town not
far away recently made the assertion
in defense of the cigarette that
Thomas A. Edison wa<< a user of cof-
fin nails. His teacher doubted it
and wrote Mr. Edison, and this is
what he replied : "Let me say in
reply. I never smoked one in my life
and no man or boy who smokes cig-
arettes can work in my laboratories
In my opinion fher« are enough de
generates in the world without man*
facturing more by the means of cig-
arette."

Prof. L. E. Jarrell.
Guthrie, Okla.
Dear Mr. Jerrell:
I am glad I availed myself of the
opportunity that the Capital City
B tsiness College of Guthrie offers to
all who desire to improve their op-
portunities and qualify themsslves
for some line of commercial work.
I finished your combined course of
bookkeeping and shorthand in seven
months and earned my expenses at
odd hours at the same time.
I am well pleased with the bene-
fits accruing to me from the training
you gave me in your school, being
employed as stenographer of the
Lagal Department of the Southwest-
ern Merchantile Agency here, where
I navebeen employed since the first
of the year.
Your school is highly commend-
able for the efficiency of its systems,
its practical methods of teaching, the
special fitness of the instructors for
their respective subjects and the high
moral character of the Faculty.
No one makes a mistake in enroll-
ing in tae Capital City Businesss
College of Guthrie for a combined
course in your practical and simpli-
fied systems.
Most respectfully,
I H. B. King.
It would pay any person to listen
to the above letter. Mr. King makes
another statement to a persona)
friend and enclosed with the above
letter: "I appreciate more than
ever before what the school has done
for me. It has put me it. a respon-
sibility where I can greatly improve
my opportunities." Any ycung
person can do what Mr. King dio.
Just believe you can and investigate
the school. Write the Capital City
Business College at Guthrie, OkU.,
and ask for a copy of their large il-
lustrated catalog.—Adv.
The Effect of Good Roads.
The direct effect that changing bad
roaas into good roads has upon land
value and the general economic well
fare of a community is shown in fev-
eral conciete illustrations gathered
by the United States department of
agriculture. The department has
just issued a statement on the subject
based upon a mass of information
gathered hy the office of public roads,
wniuh is making a special study of
the economic effect of road improve-
ment in the country. According to
data gathered, where good roads re-
place bad ones,the values of farm
lands bordering on the roads increase"
to such an extent that the cost of
road improvement is equalized, if not
exceeded. The general land values
as well as farm values.showed mark-
ed advances, following the improve-
ment of roads.

equipped that will compare with any

Mitchell, principal: Mrs Maud
Buchanan, assistant; Miss Edith
Gee, Miss Winnefred Hadley.
A city girl writes : ''It is a fond
dream of mine to become a farmer's
wife, and meander with him down
life's pathway " Ah,yes,that is nice
thing, but when your husband mean-
ders off and leaves you without wood
and you have to meander up and
down the lane pulling splinters off
the fence with which to cook dinner,
and when you meander around in the
wet grass in search cf the cows, till
your shoes are the color of raw hides
and your stockings are soaked, and
when you have to meander across 20
acre of plowed ground with a club
to drive the hogs out of the buck-
wheat, and tear your dress on a barb
wire fence, when you meander back
to find that the billy goat has butted
your only child till he is disfigured
for life, and to find the old hen and 16
little chickens in the parlor, you will
put your hands on your hips and
realize that the meandering business
i.; not what it is cracked up to be.
