WHAT THINK YE NOW?
........ ■ o
T cs! What think ye now? Do I haps none better and beanie you
you appreciate the eight page
•p^per that we are now publish-
ing each week We want to give
our ttibscribers a good paper and
one that they will welcome into
their homes each week. We could
not do that with a four page pap-
er thats the-reason we are pub-
lishing eight pages. Just take a
good look at this issue, and see
what you will find. The first page
you are now reading. How do you
like it? Then turn to page two.
What have you found? I’ll bet 1
can guess. It’s three columns of
the very latest general news that
we received last night from one
of the largest news gathering
agencies in the world, which is
furnished to us at no small ex-
pense, but What do we care what
the cost is as long as we are giv-
got this feature each week. The
“Kitchen Cabinet" edited by
Nellie Maxwell is worth many
times what you have to pay for
the Progress for one year. The
recipes if cut out and pasted in
your scrap book will be mighty
fine to refer to in the future.
Pages four and five contains
the very latest local and home
news.
On pages six will be found a
good roads column and some of
the latest jokes.
. Then comes page seven will be
found one of the best stories ever
published. This story is high class
and strictly moral in every re-
spect. The author, Harold Mac
Gratn, is famed the world over
for his high class stories. One of
his stories, “Zudora’’ is now be-
;v

it just splendid? Ladies could you to us that “The Adventures of
find a better page outside of a| Kathlyn” is not strictly moral in
regular fashion magazine? Per- 'every respect should do so.
Meet Bruce
the brave, voting American
who saves Kathlyn from the
blood-thirsty beasts of the
jungle, the cruel cunning of
the crafty Hindus and the
terrifying dangers of a
race of wild men of India.
and Imitriguae

black-skinned Hindoo to force the
beautiful California girl to mount
the throne of Allaha and accept
him as her consort—all told in a

The Jackson County Athletic
and Oratorical Association will
hold* their annual fair early in
May at Altus. This is to be one
of the best Fairs, in the history
of the Association, if nothing
prevents the plans of the Board
of Directors being carried out.
The contract for the printing
of the catalog has been let and
the copy should be in the hands
of the printer the latter part of
this week and the catalogs will
l| be ready for distribution early in
a February. The Oriental Progress
will do the printint for the Ass’n
this year.
Under the able management of
A. M. Whortan, Pres. Blair; S.
E. Van Burkleo, V. Pres. War-
ren; C. H. Daw, Sec’y, Prairie
Hill and A. R. Miller, Treas., of
Eldorado, the Fair is sure to be
a grand sucess. All of the schools
in the county should co-operate
to a greater extent this year
than ever before. The Fair man-
agement expects a greater dis-
play of school work than last
year, and from what information
| we can get, the Blair school is
I preparing to get a good share of
' the prizes and honors. They are
I much better prepared and are
applying their time much closer
to their work than they did last
ye£tr and the school that wins
more honors than the Blair school
will be going some.
THE PA6E "FOR THE LADIES OF JACK-
SON AND GREER COUNTIES" SHOULD
APPEAL TO THE LADIES. WATCH FOR IT.
-AND A 6000 STORY EACH WEEK.
A NEW PAPER FOR BLAIR
Thut’a just what we said. A
New l’a|)er for Blair. The first
issue appeared last Friday and
will api>car on that day each
week. “The Helper" the name
of the new paper is a four page
and is published by the Knights
of Ezelah, a young peoples or-
ganization of the Methodist
Church. Rev. Jesse Crumpton,
the pastor of the M. K. Church
has the editorial management,
and the first issue shows that he
is ably fitted for that position.
The object of "The Helper" is
to influence people to take a
greater interest in Church work.
It carried a nice line of adver-
tising, and we understand that
all above the expenses will be
given to the Missionary Fund,
and no one that is connected
with the publishingof The Helper
will receive compensation for
their service, but will donate
their time for the cause that it
represents. If you have not re-
ceived a copy you should see that
you get one this week. Let it be
a Helper to you. Whil»it is a
Methodist publication, that should
not keep it from being received
in every home in Blair. It is the
intentions of the publishers to
get the people of Blair to attend
some church -the church of their
choice-those that have been
negligent to attend regular and
those that have not been attend-
ing, to begin.
We welcome The Helper into
the journalistic field and hope
for it much success, as there is
plenty of room in Blair for it.
Publications of the nature of The
Helper are not plentiful enough.
There should be a Helper pub-
lished in every town and it should
be placed in every home. m
We will not comment on the
mechanical work of The Helper
as all the type was set and it was
printed by the Oriental Progress
force and those that have visited
our plant know that we have one
of the best equipped offices for
a small town, in this part of the
state. Visit us. You are welcome.
