MOTHER’S DAY.
Of .11 the daye of all the year.
The one that you ahould love moet deur
la Mother's Day.
You're ever in dear mother's prayer-
No matter who you are. or where.
Bless Mother's Day.
The white carnation typifies
The love-incense that shall arise
On Mother's Day—
From off the altar of your heart,
Tho' you and she are far apart.
On Mother's Day.
For mother's love is tried and true;
No sacrifice too great for you
On Mother's Day.
We’ll bless her name and keep her shrine
Aglow with love almost divine
On Mother's Day.
-Warren E. Comstock.
The union services held at the
Christian church last Sunday
morning were largely attended.
Rev. S. G. Sloan delivered an
excellent eulogy to “Mother,”
which appealed strongly to his
many listeners. The choir ren-
dered special and appropriate
songs in honor of the occasion,
the church was profusely and
beautifully decorated with flow-
ers, carnations were everywhere
in evidence and the services were
well spoken of by all who at-
tended.
Prompt People.
Don’t live a single hour of
your life without doing exactly
what is to be done in it, and go-
ing straight through it from be-
ginning to end. Work, play,
study, whatever it is, take hold
at once and finish it up squarely;
then to the next thing, without
letting any minutes drop between.
It is wonderful to see how many
hours these prompt people con-
trive to make of a day; it is as
if they picked up the minutes
that the dawdlers lost. And if
you ever find yourself where you
have so many things pressing
upon you that you hardly know
how to begin, let me tell you a
secret: Take hold of the first
one that comes to hand, and you
will find the rest all fall into file,
and follow after, like a company
of well-trained soldiers; and
though work may be hard to
meet when it charges in a squad,
ic is easily vanquished if you can
bring it into line. You may have
often seen the anecdote of the
man who was asked how he had
accomplished so much in his life.
“My father taught me,” was the
reply, “when I had anything to
do, to go and do it.” There is
the secret—the magic woiti
“now!”—The Lutheran.
Our City’s Valuation.
Buffalo, the magic city and the
coming metropolis of northwest
Oklahoma, still grows. The as-
sessor’s return shows an increase
ever last year’s valuation in the
erty as follows:

BLUEBELL.
Who Arc They? We Know!
Several of our patrons have re-
marked that they have taken
special notice and see where two
of the business men in Buffalo
are not represented in the Bugle
with their ads. We’ll admit that
they are not, and maybe they
have reason for not placing their
ads with us. However, in their
defense we will state that so far
we haven’t solicited them for
any advertising. They know our
location and we know theirs if
in need of anything in their re-
spective lines. We won’t threat-
en them, however, for when our
business doesn’t pay we’re not
mai'ried to the proposition. We
are doing better than we antici-
pated and we are for you, one
and all, and wish you all the
best of success along with our-
selves.
Agriculture is the basis of all
wealth, prosperity and luxury.
In a free country where the till-
ers of the soil are free, every-
body is free and ought to be
prosperous. Happy is that coun-
try where those who cultivate
the land own it. Patriotism is
born in the woods and fields—by
lakes and plains.- Ingersoll.

Several hats have already been

win the victory.

The baseball game last Satur-
day between the Willard and the

good game and a fair attendance
was present.
Mrs. W. H. Miller entertained
her scholars with a picnic last

The population of the sixteen
southern states is 33.000.000,
while that of the United States
in 1880 was 50,000,000. But the
capital invested in manufactur-
ing in the south is now $3,000,-
1000,000. or $300,000,000 more
1 than the total capital invested in
manufacturing in the United
!States in 1880.
Possibly the most striking il-
lustration of the increasing
wealth of the south is that,
though its population is 17.000.-
•100 less than that of the United
States in 1>80. the individual de-
posits in its national banks ex-
ceed the individual deposits in |
the national hanks of the U. S.
1 in 1880 by $81,000,000.

Still we grow! The Bugle is
fast coming unto its own. A
newspaper will reap its reward
on its merits as a newspaper.
The past week has been one of
much profit to us in a subscrip-

scription support we are receiv-
ing, and in return we will at all
times endeavor to give you each
week a paper brim full of home
news for $1.00 a year.
