A g<H«) deal of the old feudal idea 'till remains.
The ancient lords could afford to be magnani-
mous. Their motto was, "Noblesse oblige."
Their nobility gave them certain responsibili-
ties. They were the leaders. People looked up
to them and depended on them. That "Noblesse
oblige” is a good motto to adopt today, <\en
when there are no hereditary lords. It is a
motto that the everyday man can adopt and
profit by. If you.keep boosting everywhere
you go, others will unconsciously recognize in

If you don’t believe this, try it for a while and
see if it is not so. .
SOLID PHILOSOPHY.
The man who happens to lie known beyond
the limits of his own community who has made
any manner of success in business always has
a hand of little canines harking at his heels.
They bark because that is the only thing thHt
they are big enough to do—only way they can
attract attention.
These little "green-eyed," jealous fellows are
very inconsiderate in their rag" and many times
resort to absolute misrepr • entation and false-
hood to carry their point. It is the little people
who snarl and bite at the more successful ones.
Whenever you hear one of uiese saying that thjs
man or that man “won’t do" just, put it down
that fellow is in the little dog’s way.

About a score of (’handler women are devot-
ing hours each day knitting, sewing, studying
first aid and otherwise assisting in Red Cross
work, this that American boys now serving in
Europe and who may hereafter he sent to the
firing line may have some of the comforts of
life while lighting and while lying wounded in
a hospital. Clod will bless these loyal, patriotic
women. But—what of the hundreds of other
women of the city and county who, with time to
spare, refuse to aid in any way whatsoever in
this great work of love? How can they turn
a deaf ear to the call? How do they settle with
their conscience? Women, you are needed.
Rally,to the cause join in the knitting or the
sewing. Call at Red Cross headquarters and
those in charge will gladly instruct you in thj
work. Do it now.
Would you like to be thought stronger and
more resourceful than the average man? Would
you like to have others admire and look up to
you? The recipe is simple. Have something
good to say about everybody, about your neigh-
bor, and about your town. Boost, even if you
have to go out of your way to boost. Lend a
helping hand. Have some word of encourage-
ment always ready for the fellow who is down
on his luck. People will think then that you can
afford to do it; that you are so successful and

j a mirth and south road was built ex-
tending from Shawm - to Stillwater,
i.i Chandler. ('arm and Perk i -
I After a great deal of expense and la-
bor this road was made a state road,
mapped out in blue print and made
dragable to four miles north of Car-
ney. At this point work stopped and
two miles of road, the worst on the
ntire route, was left unfinished, and den t know why I did it. Hilly hnd

or west and make the distance back
to get to Perkins or Stillwater.
A meeting of the business men of

secure labor to finish i. e. "opi
and put in drugable condition" the
above road. The meeting was well
attended and the two divergent opin-
ions were expressed by two citizens.'

in the past; the former ”1 would noil

Tin* average person employed to drag the
roads waits too long after a rain before doing
the dragging. It does practically no good to
drag ropds after they are dry. Men employed
to drag highways should be instructed to get
out on the roads with drags right away after
the showers, because th* object in dragging
roads is to keep them level by dragging soft
dirt or mud into the low places where it will
stiffen up and stay. To wait till the roads are
dry and then drag dust into the low places does
more harm than good. On roads gypped the
time to do the dragging is when they are slick
and slippery, for at that time the drag will cut
the high places and the soft gyp will harden
in the*low places. The trouble with the (bag-
gers is that they wait too long before getting
out and at that time the dragging does about as
much harm as good, or it at least does no good
and is work wasted.
"I wonder if
I people to let
them"; luckily the latter view was
hopelessly in the minority.
As a result of meeting the neces-
sary donations were made, and by
the assistance of farmers near the
supervision of Road Supt. Arthur

What we heard a ’merchant say yesterday:
“A young lady came into the store this week
and asked if we had ‘any of those clastic bands
capable of beini; elongated and adjusted at
pleasure, and used by the feminine portion of
mankind for putting around the lower extremi-
ties of their locomotive members to keep in the
proper position and the required altitude habili-
ments of their tibias.' ’’ The clerk is contem-
plating going on a sheep ranch.
True Advertising—
you WILL FIND THE MERCHAN-
•l DISE handled by us to be of the
best standard quality. Wre have de-
rided that we would not handle any
"junk” or “bargain stuff" under any
consideration.
—Another point worth remembering,
“What We Advertise Is True. We
will not permit any exaggerations in
the goods advertised. You can be
assured what you see over our signa-
ture is as represented’

WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said lii.it every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
f the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
can si by enriching tour blood w.tb tin*
oil food in Scott's I m il «
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. *J rv it.
