Where they come from, what in-
violable law they obey, 110 mortal
can explain---they simply come,
and then pass away.
Sometimes the same is true of
birds. The)7 darken the air for
days and then pass on. Often in
past time the same has been true
of the pestilence. It is invisible,
but it moves on its course and
leaves behind it a fearful trail of
death and sorrow.
So in earlier centuries there
were like exoduses of people.
Such were the dreadful move-
ments of the Tartars, such the
swelling scourges of the Huns
and Goths. In the cases of these
last, looking back and reading
the story of what they did, we
imagine now that while they per-
sonally had no motive save to
find a softer climate and more
generous soil, or possibly more
the awful human wave. More
than once on our western prairies,
a flight of grasshoppeas has stop-
ped railroad trains They con-
tinued to fall until the tracKs
were oiled with their piled up
masses until the wheels could no
longer obtain any hold upon tne
rails. And at last the most val-
iant arms can be wearied to help-
lessness just through slaughter.
Sometimes the earth's surface
becomes overburdened by people.
It is that way now in parts of
China and India. Suppose to do
away with the surplus millions a
new exodus should begin.
The history of the migrating
Tartars, Huns and Goths would
be as nothing to what this last
uprising would be. It is said a
race only lists through cycles of
some five thousand years.
The white race has ruled thru
ample hunting grounds; there,that time; who knows when
was behind them a plan which
t'ate was working out, to bring
them in contact with civilization
where, through the centuries they
were to learn the viccs of civil-
isation, but at the same time
where to have their minds quick-
ened and their souls illuminated
by the dawn of a new hope, of a
world beyond this world, and
where, through suffering and
discipline, they were to take on
at last the attributes which caused
them at last to revolve them-
selves into individual families
and found that most perfect crea-
tion of man, the modern home.
Noting these things in insects,
in birds, in animals and men, it
is natural to wonder if following
that ancient law, the world will
not before very long, see a rene-
wal of what has been in the past.
For instance, there are behind
the mountains of Asia, in China
and India, seven hundred millions
of human beings, nearly one-half
the inhabitants of the earth.
They are cooped up in a space so
small that with millions of them
their whole lives, from the cradle
to the grave are exhausted in a
constant struggle to obtain food
on which to live.
SuppoHe the law which starts
the locus in flight, were to seize
upon them, how then would it be
with the people say of Europe
Of course, the strnggle would he
and how they are to pass away?

sufficient acidity to pass the law

We have no patience with any
dealer who depends on the weather
or the side wain, for his trade.
Some think you should be sen-
sational; not a bit of it; simply
make readable news of your
advertising. It is the news-
paper's business to distribute
that news, and when the patrons
of that paper want a good stylish
hat or pair of shoes, the advertise-
ment is what they want; not some
big .article about the Creek upris-
ing against the militia, or some-
thing of that kind.
When pay day comes, pay up.
When the wholesale people send
bills to our merchants, they ex-
pect the money in return. They
have to have the money to do
business. Just so our merchants
have to have money to transact
their business. Arrange your
purchasing so that if you have to
buy on credit when pay day
comes you can pay up.
TAXES! TAXES!
TAXES!
The 1909 tax becomes due and pay-
able October 15th. You have until
February 1st to pay without penalty.
If not paid by February 1st a penal-
ty of 1 1-2 per cent, is added. All
the tax must be paid at one time as
the new law does not provide for
paying half of the tax.
We have the tax list as usual at
the First National Bank. We ac-
cept payment for taxes for the bene-
fit of east Kingfisher and west Logan
counties and do the work without
charge.
