Yes it is a fact that there are
weeds in Chickasha-many more in
fact than there ought TO be. They
grow in the streets, on vacant lots,
in back yards and even in front
yards. They make the city un-
slightly. They indicate lack of
pride and the possession OF an ex-
eessive degree of laziness on the
part Of owners of the premises
where the weeds abound. "Cut em
out" II you are moi able to hire
anyone to do it, light in on them
yourself, Improve the looks Of
your own premises and help make
chickasha a more attractive looking
town.

Too much can scarcely be saic

Too much can scarcely be said
in praise of those citizens who
have voluntarily built side walks
about their property. In a few
cases these walks are as substantial
as can be found anywhere, while in
Others they are of very primitive
character. In either case however
those who have built them deserve
credit. A good citizen, is one who
doesn't wait for the law to com
pei him to do what is manifestly
right and for the good of the town,
There are plenty Of other people in
chickasha who are just as able tc
bnild walks as those who have al
ready built them. Why dOn'i
they build them' Is it lack Of
civic pride, or just common every
day stinginess2 These questions
are passed up to anyone who cares
b answer them.

ALWAYS BE SANGUlNE.

Back Alleys of Life.
Keep TO the broad highways Of hope
and cheerfulnesS Expect to succeed.
Think success. and you will succeed.
Keep out of the back alleys Of gloom
and pessimism Join the procession OF
the cheerful, the willing and the hope
full. Be sanguine. Know the pleasures
of living. Enjoy the sunshine of hope.
Keep away from the scavengers and
ragpickers who infcst the back alleys
of life. Your pessimist is your scaven-
ger, your ragpicker. He may be nee
essary evil, a boil as it We're on the
body social, but too much of him is fa-
tai. He never gave the world smile.
He never contributed to the good cheer
of any human being. Ee never lifted
the gloom from any distressed soul. He
is the antithesiS of progress. He is the
pollywog which in the evolution Of life
is continually dragging backward to-
ward the Shiny past, resisting the prog
ress of development which must go on
with or without him.
Beware Of the encroachments of the
carping, pessimistic spirit. 1t is hardy
plant. 1t takes root easily in the mind,
and, like the thistle. when once it gains
a foothold it is well nigh impossible to
uproot it, but it cannot live in an at
