Usually it is the man who doesn't
need a jfun who carries one.
The second "p" in pumpkin is silent
when the pie is made of squash.
People seldom attempt to sit on the
man who stands up for himself.
Another helpful"thought is that now
is the time to eat sweet potatoes.
A man like Mn Taft can lose 80
pounds without feeling light-headed.
Every man should live so as to return
the friendship and respect to his own
stomach.
Oysters digest themselves. Your re-
sponsibility ends when you swallow
them.
The last rose of summer isn't half as
inspiring as the first dandelion oi
spring. ^
E\en cannibals have some notions ol
reform, but thev have reference to pol
roasts.
We have no use for an authoress wht
Je.s che hero escape without getting
id an ied.
People who always have pleasam
thoughts will run no risk by saying
what they think.
Talk of the return of hoopskirtt
ought to reconcile almost anybody tt
the present styles.
Many of us who boast of our freedom
sometimes awaken to find ourselves
mere slaves of liberty.
Women have splendid business heads
to be able to support the family
their husbands salaries.
If men should wear trousers that let
the sunlight through, women would
faint on the streets by scores.
Wood for artificial legs is said to be
running short. Perhaps the demand
for long legs has been too great.
Some folks look with suspicion upon
some men merely because they are so
particular about attending church.
Lost in Kansas City, a woman seven
feet high; weight three hundred pounds.
Have they looked under the chiffonier'.
People who would resent the idea,
that they are not enlightened will re-
fuse to eat a cucumber because tradi-
tion says there is an ache in it.
The early bird catches the worm and
so it is with merchants. If he gets on
his new patterns and styles early and
advertises them he is the early bird
and gets the money.
Mrs. Belmont thinks it will be aglor-
iout sight to behold husbands and wives
walking to the polls together. Not i
word about the grass widows. Will
tney have to go alone?
It is reported that the temperature
of the moon ranges in a single day from
16«) degrees below freezing to the boil-
ing point. Evidently the man in the
moon is like the average janitor.
'The lips from sweet expression from
the inner workings of the mind," sayt
Lillian, who knows. And you can see
how impossible it would be to have
sweet expression with a cold blister or.
your mind.
There are many bright and interest-
ing feminine writers in the country
but no man should make the mistake ol
thinking that he can get a perfect un
derslanding of woman by reading what
they have to say.
The other day a man made the re-
mark to us that we had made a mis-
take. Thats true, we all make them
The fellow thats ready to tell the newt
paper of his mistake is the fellow whe
never sees his own mistakes. If it wer*
a ciime to maJie mistakes, there would
be no one to watch the jails.
Like the Sangamon River steam boat
of which Lincoln spoke, some folkt
blow their whistle so much that they
haven't any steam left to run the en
gine. We know of one who used to
whistle the automobile so much of the
time, ti e steam has gone down and
can't b« raised. Its nice to soar high
but its b- to fall.
Sis patches from Minnesota have told
of the rotting of thousands of bushels
of apples for no other reason than that
the cost of gathering «k! marketing
them was large rtiun the price the ap-
ple cox - -wLimend in theanarket We

The new game laws will make the
hunter more truthful. He will not dare
to lie beyond the limit of the bag.
After all the missionaries we have
sent to China, many of the males of
that benighted country wear garters
outside their trousers.
A North Carolina man 123 years of
age has been refused a license to marry
probably on the ground that he is old
enough to know better.
Two million and two hundred thous-
and yards of twine are required to rnn
the postolfice department a year. Not
to mention the red tape.
Scientists say the temperature in the
crator of Vesuvius is 690 degrees. If
you do not care to take their word for
it, go and investigate for yourself.
What has become of the old-fashion-
ed man who used to say nobody would
ever see any farmers riding about in
gosh-dinged automobiles. What about
the air-ships?
A Kansas City girl has settled a
breach of promise case for two steers
and eight bushels of corn in the ear.
Another argument in favor of the con-
servation of calves.
What makes a town grow? Business
and population. What makes business?
Good streets, good farmers, wide-awake
business men who advertise and let the
world know they are on the map.
Business is just what we make it.
Some people certainly have theii
nerve, to present a statement on the
first of the month made out on a com-
mon piece of paper, on a letter-head
and on a "fill-in-blank." Then we hear
3ome of these same fellows say "1
ion't see why the newspaper business
isn't good." We have known accounts
to be turned down until put on a print-
ed statement. Thats what ought to be
done, as most everyone likes to keep
che printed statement on tile as a re-
ceipt, and if it is on a common piece of
paper they can never tell who it is from.
Now days it is a common occurance to
have things charged and then bring
around a statement (not a common
piece of paper) on the first. It is not
a business like way and in fact a good
business man will not do thus.
MOST COTTON, BEST MARKET
One fellow gays there isn't
much cotton, another one says
there is more than we had last
year. We are inclined to believe
as the latter one. To look at the
cotton now on our yards you
would think all the cotton i n
Kiowa was being brought here.
There is more cotton on the
yards here than the whole county
expected to get a first.
Cotton is making much more
to the acre than was first thought
it would make. It must be an
evident fact that our cotton buy-
ers are paying a high market
price for the cotton or else they
would not get the chance to buy
as much cotton as they are if it
were not. Two of our cotton
buyers are merchants, and they
realize that the more cotton Go-
tebo gets the more money there
will be in circulation for their
trade, thus they are paying the
top market price.
Educational Improvement
Advancement of the Sunday School
NEW HARNESS SHOP
A new place of business has
been opened ud in the Richard-
son building near the Rock Is-
land depot, of which part of the
building is being occupied as a
creamery, The new harness and
shoe shop is the only one in town
and its proprietors are Messrs
Schwab and Romary.
See their advertisement in this
issue of the paper.
It is reported to us that Anna
Tolbert, daughter of A. J. Lam-
berson, died in Oklahoma City
Friday while undergoing an op-
eration, and was buried Sunday,
many here know her.
As an individual, so does * Sunday
School pass through three distinct per-
iods in the advance to better things.
1. The period of devices—It might
also be called the period ol awakening'
when officers and teachers first begin
to realize that somethiug must be done.
The paramouut question is not how,
nor why, but what? What can 1 do
to overcome this or thnt difficulty? It
is really the childhood period of Hie
Sun'day School work.
2. The period of methods—In this
we pass from the superficial to the pro
found, from devices to tncthoTls. The
questiou is no longer what, but how?
We are now on the lookout for new aud
better ways of doing things. We are
willing to copy any method bliudly,
thoughtlessly, and of course ineffective-
ly, simply provided someone has made
a success of it, or some Suuday School
Expert has reeeomeoded it. It is the
adalescent period of our growth.
3. The period of principles, or the
Philosophic period—Now we are not
satisified with mere devices aud finely
wrought out methods, but we go deep-
er and seek for principles. We now
search for the uuderlayiug principles of
methods. Methods change—in fact,
must change, to adopt themselves-to
changing times and conditions—prin-
ciples are eternal and change uot.
Our question is uow no longer what,
nor how, but why? Why are these
things true? Why this failure here?
Why that success there? What prin-
ciples aie involved?
Iu our tfforts to answer the question
"Why?" we go to the profound depths
of cause and effect and strike the solid
granite of reason and poilosophy. We
are uow entering the period of mature
manhood, the period of power, and
therefore of real substantial progress.
Sunday School worker,, locate your
school and plan to advance the work
When this is done, we may look for
the greatest revival the world has ever
known.

SHALL IT BE A MAJESTIC?
Do you intend to continue laboring, burning valuable fuel and destroying
high priced food with that old worn-out cook stove? You know that old
stove eats up a lot of fuel each year. You know that you have trouble in
getting it to bake just right, in fact, spoil a batch of bread every once in a
while—you know it costs considerable for yearly repairs. Stop and think
and figure. Wouldn't it pay you to buy a good range-a range with a repu-
tation?
