Statehood for OKLAHOMA

this section a tremendous impet-
US IN growth and development.
Even now, the towns aud cities
are growing up, requiring more

wide. awake citizens who see
the virtue of encouraging enter
prises of every kind. in needful'
ness and getting more aud bet.
ter facilities, aud more hands to
develop the country.
Briefly, the condition is this
OKLAHOMA Is really in need
of nothing save people. More
men are wanted. There are vast
areas of unimproved land-land
not yielding the crops of which
it Is capable. The same thing
in different way, Is true of the
towns. Few lines of business
are adequately represented.
There are openings of all sorts
for mills and manufacturing
plants, for small stores of all
kinds, for banks, newspapers
and lumber yards. Mechanics
and professional men both are
in demand.

Songs of the Soil"
By Frank L. Stanton
The Ship at Sea.

The ships-they sail the oceau,
and I hail them, far at sea;
But never a ship on the ocean
has a friendly hail for me!
I sing to the great, brave cap
tains: There is love for you
at home!"
But never an answer comes to
me over the starless foam!
The breakers sing to the sea-
board, leaving long riffs of
light;
And l say: "They will toss on
the banks of Time the wrecks
that are lost in Night;
And 1 hear the bells in the har-
bor-to windward and to lee,
But never a bell that rings
Sweet Home to. the loneliest
ship at sea!
Yet l hear the bells in the mid
night sing to me DER and DER,
AS the bells sang "Home' to
Shelley-lost near the Tuscan
shore;
And the bells sing Love forever
to me, where the Night falls
dim
AS the Skylark, under the Eng
| lish skies, sang the love of
God to him!
What is the use in living il
the dark when you can get or
the bright side when the world
turns round?
The man who keeps in the
middle of the read may get dust
on him. but there won't b.
much danger of the Wagon
: turningnover.
If you tell these old sinner
the DEVILS in the weather they'll
soon be under the impression
that hell's getting too cold TO
him.
