The Press'Democr ('s First "Think.™
The Press-Democrat's first "think" i thnt
flemieKHey in 1 lio haul town of its inches in
Oklahoma. Ami we've tlio proof at hnnd lor
liny doubting Thomas who dares dispute the
statement. Hennessey is the geographical cen-
tre of as lino a scope of country as can lio fohnd
in tlio entire southwest, inhabited by as thrifty
and intelligent a class of people as those of any
section of the United States. This year has
been 110 exception to the rule. Farmers have
prospered. Crops are bountiful. Stock is
thriving beyond all expectations. The business
men of Hennessey are handling a volume of
trado, in consequonce, that is highly satisfac-
tory. Tlio result, naturally, is a happy, con-
tented people. \\ hat nioro could bo expected
or desired Y In the onward inarch for com-
mercial greatness Hennessey is proudly hold-
ing her own—outstripping many of her sister
towns with an outlook that promises greater
things in tho future. Lot's stand up for Hen-
nessey. Let's put our shoulders to t he wheel
and push our fair little city another league in
advance of all competitors. Hennessey pos-
sesses now the proud distinction of being the
host town between Enid on the north and El
1 Rono on the south, with practically nothing to
the oast or west to bar her progress. This is
much to be proud of, but there's still a brighter
future in store for Hennessey. Lot's hasten it 011!
Again, the Press-Democrat Thinks,
That one might go a lonK way farther and
fare a whole lot worse than to pitch his tent in
Hennessey. If ho is a tradesman, or if he de-
sires to engage in mercantile pursuits, no town
anywhere in this part of the world presents
superior inducements. If lie is an agriculturist
and stockraiser, thero isn't a better county than
this- Kingfisher—in all Oklahoma. Hennessey
is a "wide open" town. There's 110 puritanisin
hereno hypocrasy. We're a plain people,
law-respocting, free of speech, with all the
rights and privileges that the constitution guar-
antees to American citizens. We stand upon
an equal footing here. No shoddy genteel, no
"rag-tag and bob-tail" aristocracy, (iood schools
and good churches aro ours. A fair-minded and
liberal class of businessmen conduct the town's
commercial interests. Altogether, Hennessey
is a town one doesu't see every day. And a
better 0110 to live in isn't shown on (lie map of
()klahoma.

IEWING the matter from the
\ depths of experience and con
trarting conditions as scientists have
ivealed them, we know of no stronger/
or mors conscientious advice to offer to
i art:.t humanity than this: "Educate
your children to drink beer." In this
•.ay and nly this way can you ward
off the p ssible evils of intemperance,
who like beer, have no use for
•vli:. ey, and the statistics of the world
prov ' that beer-drinking nations - Eng-
land, America and Germany are the
happiest,the most prosperous, the most
wholesome and the least given to
viciousness.
