If you have any of those new
suspiciuous looking nickles and
don't like them, we will take them.
Nowadays a weather prophet
does not seem to be honored in
anybody's country.
Next to the music of a trea frog,
the wail of a dissapointed office-
seeker is about the loneliest sound
on earth.
The Oklahoma doctrine that an
officer has a right to cat open
traveler' suit cases on trains and in
depots, search residences and break
in doors without regularly issued
warrants has led to the death of
two officers on a citizen's doorstep
Volume 1, Number 1 of the Try-
on Journal was received last week
Esther Cox is the lo:al editor and
Roscoe Cox and Manford Cox are
the contributing editors. The
Journal is a neat paper, same size
of the Enterprise, Democratic in
politics and starts out with a fair
patronaga from the business men of
the town. Here's hoping it may
meet with prosperity.
An editor in a neighboring town,
who was evidently disgusted with
the growth of weeds in his town,
has the following iionical admoni-
tion ; "Don't cut the weeds just now,
wait a few days, or a week or two,
and giv# them time tc ripen their
seed. If weeds along alleys and
on vacant lots and private premises
are cut before the seeds fully de.
velop it might seriously curtail next
year's crop and would lose the
chief ornament of the city. Don't
cut the weeds yet. Wait.''

Carter H. Harrison, mayor of
Chicago, is the highe'st priced city
official in the United States, accor-
ding to a bulletin recently issued by
thefederal census bureau. Mr. Har-
rison draws a yearly salary of $18,
000, which is more than that paid
any governor in the Uoitedlj States,
the vice president or the chief jus-
tice of the United States Supreme
court. The mayor of New York
city ranks second with an annual
salary of $15*000.
Carlyle, in one of his essays
uses three very potent phrases
Tney are these: Prudent insin
cerity, open varacity of profit, and
closed sense of truth, They may
be consolidated into three words,
viz., lasciviousness, selfishness, and
intolerance, and we have no doubt,
that if our gentle reader, however
good and proper he is, woulld apply
the inmost meaning of the faults
to himself, he would be astonished
at how close they touch his life
Herein moral duty, religion and
citizenship blend in the one great
aim to divest one's personality of
these dark faults. But it will not
do to trust entirely to religion or
education in order to escape these
perils. One must choose his en-
vironment. He must keep out of
swamps where these snakes live
He must keep up heights where
high thoughts and aims dwell.
•No permanent road has cvei
been constructed or ever will be,"
according to road specialists cf the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, who amplify the statement
with an appeal for keeping the
roads in good repair. The federal
official claim that the general im-
pression that tnere are certain types
of road that are permanent is
erroneous". It is pointed out that
the only things about the road that
may be considered permanent are
grading, culverts and bridges, and
therefore the Washington author-
ities asset that " the first and last
commandment toward road main-
tainance is to keep the surface
well drained.
More than 50 per cent of all fires
are caused by simple carlessness,
which is unnecessary and criminal.
Repairs to dilapidated buildings,
the removal of all fire breeding
material, cars in burning weeds
and rubbish, the placing of engines
at a safe distance from build-
ings, the removal of oily waste,
proper ventilation—in brief, plain
common sense, will minimize the
danger from this class of fires.
Some people remind us of the
man who was bragging about earn-
ing his living with his head when a
friend informed him that he had
nothing to feel proud over, as the
woodpecker did the same thing.
Head work is all right but it de-
pends upon whose head is doing
tbe work.
It has been discovered that a
national law forbids issuing any
checks on a bank for less than one
dollar. This is only another of
the many laws made to bother the
editors as they have to keep under
this limit to avoid over drafts.
August.
August is the month when men
sweat and wouen perspire
Women keep from really sweating
by dobbing their pores full of com
etics. The little that does ooze
through is then called perspiration
It really is, of course old-fashonedi
odoriferius sweat that has lost its
distinctive qualities by being strained
through an inch of scented enamel.
August is a hard month on kids
and dogs. The barefoot kid has a
hard time finding a place on either
the ground or sidewalk tbat will
not blister his feet, and every dog
must be careful to not let his tongue
be se?n, for a dog with a tongue in
August is a sure enough "mad dog"
reeking with hydrophobia germs,
and a bullet is coming his way.
Then there are the August chau-
tauquas, too. Every town has a
Chautauqua in August. The Chau-
tauqua has had a record n.ucfc like
-that of the newspaper—when the
first 01.e started everybody said the
United States would never support
two. Well, they are not supported
as they should be, but every ham-
let now has a newspaper, and if it
docsn t have an annual chautauqua
the inhabitants are wondering how
they can get one. If all the ora-
tory that breaks loose on chatau-
qua platforms this month could be
bound into one book, it probably
would represent a collection of the
World's worst literature.
The heated rays of August's sun
will keep the ice men on the run.
It gives a blush to orchard peach,
but more to those upon the beach—
to these it gives a darker pink that
keeps our eye-lids on the blink,
and while we like the orchard
brand we love the ones out on the
sand.
I The average man has to become
powerful enough to feel sure he
has the whiphand in order to be
able to forgive his enemies success-
fully.
Gives School Opinion.
A school superintendent may be
employed for a term of three yrars
at a fixed salary for the entire term,
according to an opinion rendered
by the attorney general's office,
but the salary fixed in the contract
will have to be conditional on it
coming within the amount of the
estimate approved ^ach year and
should it exceed the amount pro-
vided for in the estimate, it will
only be binding after the first year
for the amount provided for in the
approved estimate.
We owe it to the community in
which we live to do everything in
every way possible that will be to
its advantage. Our neighbor's pror-
perity means a great deal more
to us than someone's who lives
elsewhere. We should bear this in
mind in buying our goods.
Do You Realize

nothing to protect your prop"
erty.

ses promptly in CASH with.
