Occasionally you meet a man
who is so chivalrous toward women
that he is actually polite io his
own wife.
Solomon must have bsen i hen
perked old mutt. He said that all
men were liars, and kept quiet
about the women.

The oldest citizen of the United

We owe'it to the community in
which we live to do everything in
every way possible that will be
its advantage. Our neighbor's
prosperity means a great deal moie
to us than someone's who lives slse-
where. We should bear this in mind
when buying our goods
The Prague Record truthfully
says: ''When you hear an individ
ual "knocking" an institution
that is always laboring for the up
building of a town or community
you can set it down that nine times
out of ten that the said individual
is of a very low degree of iotelli
gence and that pretty jealously
and ignorant is chi-fly his prin
cipal makeup "
We think the earth is large,
and It is, by man's measurements.
But the sun, our source of light
and heat, is a thousand times
larger, And just to bewilder the
human mind, they tell us that the
star Canopus has 55,000 times the
light of the sun and a diameter
235 times greater, and that it
would require 466 years for light
o travel from Canopus to the eartd
And it is not known but that there
are worlds greater, 1 he earth is
but a grain of dust in the make-up
of the Universe, an "atom amidst
immensity."
On August 15th, the Panama
! canal will be opened to the world.
This is the greatest event of the
worlds history as a result of man s
ingenuity ar.d ability to accomplish
apparently impossible engineering
feats. The tonnage that will pass
thru this new waterway in the next
decade is almost incalculable. The
effect upon the world's civilization
too is of untold importance. The
trade of much of western Europe
will find its way to the orient thru
this new passage from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Competition with
the cheap labor of oriental countries
will be multiplied and still further
disturb labor conditions. Let us
hope that the good results will far
outnumber the evil ones
Point to a good and successful
farmer and you will generally find
that he has a good wife. Far too
many farmers' wives get so in the
habit of working themselves to the
point of exhaustion that they are
not able to enjoy recreation, even
alter there is money in the bank
ai>d the big debts have been paid.
Every man owes it to himself as
well as his wife to see that she gets
a fair share of the good and enjoy-
able things of life. And it docs
not do to wait till you have bought
all the land you want or put up
and paid for all the farm buildings
before you begin. Take a little
jenoyment as you go along.

girl who is unable to attend schools
for the sighted that he may send
them information concerning the
school for the blind. If you know
of such a perion, write Superintend-
ent Stewart, Muskogee, Oklahoma.
By Way Of Comparison.
The difference in cost of service
between the various transportation
mediums may be seen from a com-
parison of relative work $1 will per-
form when applied to the several
means of conveyance! It is esti-
mated that:

Four hundred miles by lakes and
inland water ways.

where.—Chicago Tribune."
It Stands Alone.
You temember Noah had to work
a long time on the ark. It was
uphill business, too, at best, build-
ing a boat away out on dry land,
while the local anvil and hammer
club sat around spitting tobacco
juice upon his lumber, whittling up
pine boards with their jack knives
and telling him what a tool he was
tor expecting a big rain in a country
that was too dry to grow alfalfa
But he nept at it. Finally the

actly what was coming to them

Golobie asks "Are Farmers Refus-
ing Cheap Money?" and then asks:
"Governor Cruce in his reply to

down for repairs. Thi^ is the
shortest mid-summer shutdown in
recent years. The Craddock-
Terry Company will put 700 or
8oo additional operatives to work
as fast as they can be secured and
trained. This company will in-
crease its payroll during the next
twelve months by $800,000, a con-
dition due to the enlargement of its
business in the Southwestern States.
Within a month or two more 3hoe
workers will be employed here than
ever before.
President Wilson has ended the
bitterest fight of his administration
by withdjawing the name of Thos.
