No one moved. and in a few minutes

BONDS
Of Peace Among Nations
Would War in China
Prove.

Judge S. Fl. Harris, one of the ablest
members of the Noble county bar, was
in the city yesterday. The judge was
much interested in oriental events.
Said he, "War in China would be a
powerful bond among the Christian
nations of the world, if the soldiers of
the allied powers fought side by side
in a great conflict, it wound bind ties
that the eXigencies of world politics
would have difficulty in breaking.
The spirit of comradeship that comes
from fighting and suffering in a COM
mon cause knits the strongest sympa-
thy that man can know. Not only
would the svmpthy prevail among the
soldiers in the field. but it would ex-
tend to the friends at home, waiting
in anxiety for news from the battle.
"The mother in America would un'
derstand the heartache of the mother
in England, in Germany, in Rus ie,
and even in distant Japan. and do you
suppose she would ever look with fav,
or upon war that would take her
son into conflict with the man who had
stood at his side in China, had given
him drink, perhaps, when he lay
suffering from wounds? / think not
and l te ieve all Americans, all Eng
lishmen and all Germans and the peo
pie of other powers engaged would
feel in uniasm with the mother AS
the nations come to know each other
better war between them grows more
and more improbable, and nothing
could bring knowledge quicker than
war against common foe"

The Reason You Trim Your window

Is that you wish to favorably infu-
ence the passer-by-that they may be
attracted by the values, and come in
and buy. If no such result was in
prospect, you would hardly risk the
the trouble and expense, for a man
only exerts himself when there is a
possibility of returns.
Your advertisement is your show
window. as well, but more people look
into it, and larger number see the
display, and If you've something that
appeals to them, they'll come and buy.
You get their attention at an oppor-
tune time-just when the mind is in a
receptive condition, and If your offer
ings are right you will get their trade.
Keep your advertisement in the
Leader, and your show window is then
looked into by the prosperous class
those whose patronage you value.

Poor, Green Fruit

Why the fruit growers persist in pull

There Was An Electrical Meter in the

There Was An Electrical Meter in the
Cellar.
One of Guthries most prominent
citizens recently took a six weeks trip
easy, accompanied by his wife, He
left the house in care of nice lady
who has a natural aversion to trusts,
com bina.ions and corporations which
charge high prices and high rates.
This lady had heard the gentleman
complain of high prices for lights and
various other conveniences.
His house is elegantly lighted with
electricity. She thought to enhance
her employers appreciation of her
services that she would reveal to him
the fact that she had gotten even TO
some extent with the electric company
by turning on the current and allow
ing the lights to burn all night long
during the absence of the folks. This
news almost shocked his nerves and
he threw up his hands in horror, ex.
claiming why M, there is a meter
in the cellar. He examined it and
figured up the amount of his bill tc
the company. He went around the
next morning and paid it, which
amounted to S32. so, and he hadn't re
ceived any benefit from it, either.

acres for settlement, mostly rich agrl'
cultural lands save the Wichita noun

past the entire eastern border OF the

the northeast corner, a new line has
been built within the past year across
the reservation paralleling its north

to the town of Granite. So in this way
it controls the railroad situation to the
entire district from the Washita to

is located.
"There will be one of the greatest
rushes for this land Oklahoma has ev-

settlers. Every body has been driven

HOW WILLIE MADE MONEY.

Novel Method of West Side Boy to Ears
Pennies
A small boy on the west side was in
the habit of teasing his mother for
pennies until at last she said to him=
"Now, Willie, l don't like to give
you pennies. If yon want money you
should go to work and earn it,"
The boy remained thoughtful for
some time Then within few days
the mother perceived that Willie had
plenty of pennies. She wondered
little where he got them, but did not
question him. But one day she noticed
that some sort of hullabaloo was
going on in the back yard, Looking
out she saw Willie surrounded by a
mob of boys who were yelling with
delight. She went down into the yard
to see what was going on, and as she
passed out she saw, stuck up on the
back wall of the house, this notice,
quite neatly printed" out with a
