That Dog Song.
That Missouri “Dawg Song”
has been working both night and
day in the political columns, but
it has been left to a minister of
the gospel to place it over on
the sporting page with an en-
tirely new version on the nation-
al game. Rev. Allen Stockdale
pastor of a prominent church in
Boston, is responsible for it, and
coming from a preacher instead
old Boston town makes it doubly
interesting. It follows:
When the sun gits smilin’ and
the spring is cum,
When the birds git chirpin’ and
the insects hum,
When the grass gits greenin’ in
the frostless groun’
You gotta git throwin’ that ball
aroun’.
When the fans git itchin’ for
the battin’ fun,
When the longin’ strikes ’em for
that hit and run,
When they want some twirlers
on the pitchin’ moun’
You gotta git thro win’ that ball
aroun’.
When the fans git longin’ for a
pennant team,
Full of battin’ wonders and
some pitchin’ steam,
When the fans git hopin’ in the
old Hub town,
You gotta git throwin’ that ball
aroun’.
John Cooper was up from
Kibby way Wednesday.
Sheriff J. E. Garnett was ser-
ving jury summons and other
, papers in the Laverne territory
on Wednesday.
Indications everywhere in Ok-
lahoma point to the banner crop
result this year and the papers
from over the state say that the
people are extremely happy.
Mrs. E. R. Williams, who has
been visiting in the home of her
son, B. E. Williams and family,
departed Monday for a short vis-
it at May before returning to
her home at Chandler.
California and Oklahoma
Some of the newspapers, of
California have printed cartoons
showing groups of farmers ap-
pealing to the weather man to
get busy with the rainfall. In
Oklahoma the soil is filled with
moisture and the farmers are
about to plant seeds which will
result in the greatest harvest in
the history of the state.
California has long held a re-
cord for being rich and resource-
ful. That state has shipped
many thousand cars of products
over the mountains to the middle
west and even to the eastern
seaboard. The Pacific coast has
helped to feed the nation.
But conditions have slightly
changed this year. California
needs rain to develop the crops.
Oklahoma has the rain, will raise
some great crops and may ship
some of the products to*;the far
western states to supply the
hungry people who are hoping
for rain.
As a vanguard of such ship-
ments that are likely to be made,
a car of Oklahoma butter left
our state a few days ago to sup-
ply the markets cf California.
It is reasonable to presume that
other similar shipments will go
forward from Oklahoma to the
state which has been a marvel-
ous producer but finds it necessary
to call on Oklahoma to help sup-
ply the tables of the hungry.
California is a wonderful state.
But Oklahoma is in the same
class and will gladly supply Cali-
fornia with butter and any other
things needed which cannot be
obtained in the region beyond
the Rocky Mountains.
Bank of Buffalo
A Farmer’s Institution.
Mr. Farmer, do you do your business through a
Bank? If not, why don’t you?
There was a time when the Bank was considered bene-
ficial only to the capitalist. The present day sees it of
equal benefit to all and a necessity for the practical far-
mer. There are farmers who have not yet learned the
convenience, safety and profit that a bank account affords,
but those now using it are accepted as up-to-date, thrifty,
business-like. Not alone as a safe and convenient place to
leave his money, but as an ever-ready resort in case of ne-
cessity of financial assistance does the average farmer
view his bank.
This Bank is especially interested in the affairs of
the farmer and it ever looks to their con-
venience and necessities.
We are not only pleased to receive your deposits, which
are guaranteed, but to lend ours upon unquestioned secur-
ity. We will accommodate you in any way that is consis-
tent with conservative banking.

how Big Is Oklahoma?
While Oklahoma is not the
biggest state in the union, its
area is more extensive than the
average citizen realizes. One
county, that of Osage, is twice
as big as Rhode Island and near-
ly as large as Connecticut.
Oklahoma is bigger than Ire-
land and Scotland combined. It
is larger than the combined area
of Switzerland. Denmark, Greece
and the Netherlands. It covers
more ground than Belgium, Por-
to Rico and Portugal together,
with Massachusetts, Delaware
and Connecticut thrown in for
good measure. This is ‘‘some
state” in which we live.
Optimism.
It says light up. Don’t frown!
A smile is humanity’s headlight.
A smile will help you on your
way—wear one. It may cause
you to avoid crushing a flower
against a heart on which it's
worn. To many a downhearted
fellow your light will give a
sense of company. ’Twill help
you see the roses by the way-
side. There’s no discord in a
smile. Sorrow flees before a
smile. Why not wear a smile?
No other thing you can put on is
so inexpensive or so becoming.
Wedding Bells.
Married, last Sunday morning,
April 21, 1912, at 10:00 o’clock a.
m. at the home of the bride’s
parents, in this city, by Justice
I. Monhollon, Miss Woodie Cecil
Hugaboom and Raymond Lee
Story.
The bride is the eldest daught-
er of Mr. and Mrs. George
Hugaboom and the groom is
proprietor of the Buffalo Barber
Shop. They are both favorites
among cur town people and
start out on life’s wedded path-
way midst the best wishes of
the entire community.
After the ceremony a wadding
dinner was served to the imme-
diate relatives and a few family
friends.
May they live long and enjoy
the sw’eet and tender sympathies
of life, and may felicity sweeten
their cares into a ripe old age
when they will enjoy more pleas-
ures than they aaticipate.
They will go to housekeeping
in the home of Mrs. C. L. Caress
where they will be ‘‘at home” to
their many friends.
The Bugle joins in heartiest
congratulations.
It’s Chief Charm.
We think the shad is not so bad
And to the daffodil
We fondly cling. But wThat if

Without the liver pill?
Talking Politics.
Today I went to Beeswack’s
store to buy some hinges for my
door—that door is sagging now
like sin, an agent having kicked
it in. Old Beeswack took the
hingvs down, and wrapped them
up in paper brown, and tied the
package with a string, and as he
toiled he said; ‘‘By jing, the way
they run this government is
causing widespread discontent.
Let me explain this Schedule K,
which deals with setting hens
and hay; just harken to my clari-
on notes concerning geese and
billy goats, and how the rubber
tariff grinds the poor man’s face
until he finds himself up to his
ears in soup” —I interrupted with
a hoop. ‘‘I came for hinges!” I
exclaimed, “and here you’re
handing out your blamed worm-
eaten theories which were stale
when Jonah fooled his pacing
whale. It’s always thus through-
out the land; the grocer’s can-
not sell me sand without discuss-
ing candidates and also-rans and
kindred skates. The laundryman
who boils my shirts discusses is-
sues till it hurts. I simply can-
not buy a thing but I must listen
to a string of punk reflections,
all in vain, that bear upon this
year’s campaign. It’s vain to
make excuse and cringe; I will
not buy your hanged old hinge.
I’ll never blow another cent with
men who roast the government
and chasten me with ancient
news, and bore me wdth their
tiresome view’s.” —Uncle Walt.

When a man ain’t got a cent,
An’ he’s feeling kind of blue,
An’ the clouds hang dark and
heavy,
An’ work won’t let the su»-
shine through,
It’s a great thing, O my brethern,
For a fellow just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder
In a friendly sort of way,
It makes a man feel queerish;
It makes the teardrop start,
An’ you sort of fee],,a flutter
In the region of your heart;
You can’t look up and meet his
eyes,
You don’t know what to say,
When his hand is on your should-
er
In a friendly sort of way.
Oh, the world’s a curious com-
pound,
With its honey and its gall,
With its cares and bitter crosses;
But a good world after all.
An’ a good God must have made
Leastwise, that is what I say
When a hand is on your shoulder
In a friendly sort of way.
—James Whitcomb Riley.

The Bright Side.
A gentleman remarked to us
that the true theory of life was
to get on the admiration side, and
not on the cynical and objurga-
tory side of life. We believe
this is sensible. “Look on
bright side and if there is no
bright side burnish up the dark
side, ” is a little quotation that
we put in our note book more
than a score of years ago. It is
good gospel. It is the doctrine
of hope, says the Ohio State
Journal. Grumbling at every-
thing is unchristian. It will con-
demn a man as sure as profanity
or lying. The Bible says: “But
let all those that put their trust
in thee, rejoice.” There is phil-
osophy for this. A person can-
not do any good in a bad spirit.
If one hates a man he cannot
reform him. Every good thing
that a man does pulls evil up by
the roots. Good deeds grow by
smiles as the wheat grows by
the sunshine. Boost the good
and the bad wfill have a poor
chance, It is right to curb the
evil, if one does not waste all his
strength at it, so that he will
have to sit down and lose heart.
There is no final defeat in an
honest, sincere effort, and that
is the doctrine of the upward
look and the bright side of life.
Silos In Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Farmers are build-
ing silos.
The result will be that more
livestock will be raised in this
state and Oklahoma soon will be
a rival to the states of Texas,
Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska in
the raising of cattle and hogs.
We are favored with a better
climate than any other states
which pretend to be livestock
states and the modern invention
which has made it possible to
have green feed through all the
months of the year means more
to the farmers of this state than
it does to any of the others.
Oklahoma has long growing
seasons; during a large part of
the year it is possible to have
green pastures. In the northern
states, the seasons when crops
grow is short as compared to our
own state and with this advant-
age, livestock raising in Oklaho-
ma promises to develop into the
state’s biggest industry.
Every farmer of Oklahoma
who makes any pretentions to be
a producer of cattle and hogs
should build a silo this year and
fill it with the green forage this
summer. The full silo will make
it possible to market cattle and
hogs during the next winter at a
time when rhere will be no great
crop to sell.
Farmers who have built silos
in this state are arranging to
build more. That is the best re-
commendation that can be offer-
ed. Don’t let this year go by
without installing a silo on the
farm. Farmer-Stockman.
Had A Reason.
O’Flanagan and his spouse
frequently had a falling out.
He came home one night with a
deep band of black crepe around
his hat. “Why, Mike,”exclaim-
ed his wife, “what are you wear-
ing that mournful thing for?”
“I am wearing it for your first
husband,” replied Mike firmly.
“I’m sorry he’s dead.”
Another Letter from Kibby.
Kibby, Okla., April 22, ’12.
Editor Buffalo Bugle: —
Will yqp please give me space
in your paper to answer a letter
which appeared in your paper
last week?
The writer was either misin-
formed or misrepresented the
facts in regard to the Ladies Aid
of Kibby. I believe in giving
honor to whom honor is due.
The Ladies Aid have done well,
judging from a financial stand-
point, and have spent their mon-
ey for a good cause. They have
helped the church in paying the
preacher, but that is all. They
have not supported the Sunday
School as a society in any wray.
There are only three members of
the Aid that are regular attend-
ants at Sunday School.
Brother Green has spent more
time, done more work, given
more money and has been of
more benefit in every way than
all the members of the Ladies
Aid. The facts are, if it hadn’t
been for the efforts of Bro. Green
the Sunday School at Kibby
would have been a thing of the
past several months ago.
We prefer to praise the bridge
that carries us over, rather than
the man who collects the toll.
