From East to Weit
In a recent number of the Ameri-
can Magazine, Ray Stannard Baker
bad this tribute to the glorious
West, with all of which we heartily
agree; 'I did not really begin to
have the 'feel of the West' until I
left Indianapolis. I had gone to
bed the night before feeling tired
and Eastern and old. and I cannot
tell how good it seemed the next
morning when the train rolled out
of Indianapolis into the broad and
open Western conntry. 1 saw again
the familiar corn fields with the
sun upon them, part of the corn in
shocks and brown with autumn,
and yellow pumpkins not yet gath-
ered in, and green fields of late
turnips, and cattle feeding quietly
in the wide meadows, and great,
generous red, barnes, each with u
circular silo at the end of it. How
restful the distances were to the
eye, how comfoi table and prosper-
ous the face of the country!" "By
necessity 1 took a local train out of
Indianapolis, but I was soon glad of
it, for at each small station the
West flowed literally into the car,
through it, and out of it. It was a
breezy, talkative, local crowd that
knew the-eonductor and joked the
brakeman. and called out 'Hello,
Bill!' ,wheoit came in and 'Su long,
Jim!' wkeo it went out. T*o men
in black slouch hats and iwdttteethe
color of old copper sat down in
front of me and began talking ol
the prices of corn and ho£s and
cattle. In the East men manage
to appear, at first glimpse, more
than they are; but in the West one
must often revise his impression
upward. These were landed men
with fields of there own, and cattle
and buildings, and money in the
bank. One of them pronounced
the word Chicago with a familiar
twang, as though the second syll-
able were spelled 'caw —broad and
rich and flat, like the prairies. It
gave me a curious thrill—like get-
ting home. The west again!' I
said to myself, and I began look-
ing out more intently for other
signs of it".

John A. Gex.
The meeting of the Sorosis club,
on Wed. April 15th was one of un-
usual interest. The topic for the
afternoon's work being, 'Women of
to day. The questions prepared by
the very capable leader, Mrs. Kin-
sey covered the ground thoroughly
in the diversified occupations of
"Noted Women of the present day".
Mrs. Blake favored the members
with a most excellently prepared
article on "Authors of to day'. Her
papers contained criticisms and
biographical sketches of the later
Women writers and was interst-
ing as well as instructive and en-
tertaning. Mrs. Goodman treated
her theme Philanthropists" from
the view point that she who gives
her time, gives more than money
Her paper dealt more especially
with the "Women work against the
white slave traffic" and the two en
tirely unlike, philanthropists, She
used as illustration, Miss Living-
stone and Maud Miner, typified the
great work done in this line by the
highest and most humble workers
in the land. The general discus-
sion on "Womens achievements of
last century" was animated and
long and rather inclined one to be-
lieve that their achievement, have
been in certain fields, parallel with
those of the sterner sex. The re
sponses to roll call were artists,
feminine of course. At the close
of the session the hostess. Mrs
Job, served a specialy dainty and
tempting lunch, which was another
practical illustration of a woman's
achievements of the present day.
The club adjorned then to meet
on April 29 with Mrs. Kinsey as
hostess and the subject of study,
'"Holland".
Social Affair
Mrs. J. J. Dimmitt entertained
two tables of guest at Royal Auction
Bridge on Tuesday afternoon from
3 till 6 o'clock at her pleasant home
in south Texhoma. Mrs. Dimmitt
possesses a rare talent at enter-
taning and every one enjoys her
club dates. The occassion was
made all the more pleasant by the
presence of Mesdames. Hargrove
of Hereford, Texas, and Benson of
Kansas City, Mo., Little Miss Vivia
Iniz Branstetter also made her de-
but in club life upon this day.
After a series of five games
the hostess served her guests with
a two course luncheon, which was
pleasing to the eye and tempting to
the palate, and which was pro-
nounced by all to be perfect. Mrs.
Benson who is a pianist and voca-
list of ability was gracious in com-
plying to the numerous encores re-
sulting from her performance in this
line. The club members present
were Mesdams. Beall, Maus, San-
ford, Branstetter, Terry, Scribner
and Dimmitt, with Medames. Har-
grove and Benson as club guests.

A Buy at Home Creed
In a Kansas town where the Com-
mercial club and retail merchants'
association are co-operating to great
mutual advantage they have en-
volved a "creed" that is proving ex-
tremely effective in educating the
inhabitants as to the fallacy of buy-
ing from the mail order houses.
The creed in effect is a statement
of principles concering the question,
gotton up in epigrammatic style,
printing in bold-face type and dis-
tributed to all classes of people.
It is reproduced below:
I buy at home because—
My interest are here;
The community which is goood
enough for me to live in is good
enough for me to buy in;
I believe in transacting business
with my friends,
I want to see the goods;
My home merchant "carries" me
when I "run short;
The dollar I spend at home stays
at home and works for the com-
munity in which I live;
The man I buy from stands back
of the Goods;
I sell most of what I produce
here at home and here I buy;
The man I buy from pays his
part of the town and, country and
state tax;
The men 1 buy from help support
my schools, my church, my lodge,
my home;
When ill luck, misfortune or be-
reavement comes, the man I buy
from is here with kindly greetings,
his words of cheer, and his pocket-
book if need be

I have just noticed in the Texhoma Times,
Of the last issue and number, how it rhymes;
It was written by a Rogertown, Texas, boy,
1 presume it did well for some to enjoy.

That sells pills, there are several more;
What about Maus and Frazar selling pills?
They sell the most that help our ills.
Fank Sewell and Art Littell have a car.
But just think, a little Ford, there you are.
1 don't own a big automobile,but I do
Like to hold up for others, would'nt you?
I think the Times is just the cracker,
For we have Bill Kreiger for the backer;
1 think the Times' news is very great,
And the advertising is right up to date.
L. E. Job and his motorcycle are alright,
But some day Mr. Job is going to light,
Upon the hard old ground with a jam;
His last work will be done for Uncle Sarn,
