Lets quit whining about hard
times and net luixy for a higgH1,
livlier (Job nv.
When you go to vote next Tues-
day forget what party yon belong
to and vote on each olllee for your
best interests like you were en-
gaging a hired man.
Those “nigger*1 cartoons the
Democratic campaign committee
are putting out to appeal to the
prejudice of the ignorant is
enough to insult any intellgent
man whether he is from the
North or the South and the voters
in Oklahoma should re cut it
with their ballot ut the poles ao
empatieally no ganged' politicians
will ever dare to perpretrate such
all outrage again.
COUNTY ENROLL.
MENT LOW
County Superintendent Wal-
lace visited some of the schools
last week. He reports fifteen
schools are in session, fifteen will
start the 1st of November, and
from that time on many will open
in different parts of the county,
however some will not open uti
til early in December.
In the districts visited by the
Superintendent only ubout one-
third of the children of sc hot d
age were in attendance, the iwo
thirds putting up five cent cottou
against an education with no
chance of fiver winning. So long
as the effort is made to crown
cotton king just so long will ig
uorunce follow as his queen.—
Herald Beuteiiel.
OBSERVER COMES
AGAIN WITH A FEW
MORE IDEAS FOR YOU
Rv “Observer”
Here euines the old maid—or old
bachelor avrain (we’ll leave the
sex to you) to tell you something
about your children, first, and then
to give you a hint on a useful
household article that I feel sure
you will appreciate.
In speaking of children in this
article, 1 mean especially those
boys and girls in school. Do they
get enough sleep? The eminent
aiillioili.v, l>r. I). Mminelf Holt,
says every child under sixteen
years of ago should sleep not less
llitm nilie hours evi.ry night. An-
other point tor, frequently over-
looked is the drinking of sufficient
pure water. The great American
trouble Is constinnt'on. Water
helps largely to .n. ivoine it. A
drink of file water the Hirst thing
in the morning and the Iasi tiling
at night is conducive to good
health.
Most children holt their food in
surgeon.h adhesive plaster at the
Irug store. If will prove a friend In
scores of ways. We have used
it as follows i
To wrap around a cut finger. It
stays in place hotter than a hand
age-
|o put over a blister.
To put inride the heel of a shoe
worn rough so that it bregks the
stocking.
To fasten plants to up-right sup-
ports.
A strip placed inside rubbers,
umbrella, etc. makes a white sur-
,ace upon which the name may lie
written in black ink.
A leaky faucet may be tempor-
arily mended wdt.li it.
A painful corn may he protected
l,y cutting a circular piece with a
lode iii the middle and of chumois,
placing tliin so that tlie- corn comes
through the opening and binding
the chamois in place with adhes-
ive.
Labels for fruit cans, pantry box-
es, etc.
To bind up the splintered handles
of household utensils.
