A Horsetraders' Convention.

The horsetraders of Texas, Okla
homa and Arkansas are going to hold a
convention in June at C~oalgate, Okl.
Just where the committee on creden-
tails proposes to draw the line of eligi-
bility is not set out in the call, but it
is a fair presumption that the man who
trades sight unseen from the owner
will not be admitted; in fact the GUS
tom of that section has been tb use
such traders for the sole purpose of
decorating trees.
In addition to the human element to
make the convention representative it
should include the halt, the lame, the
blind, the w~ind-broken and the spav-
ined of the equine race. with a few
balky ones and a mule or two thrown
in for good measure, so hat a realistic
horse trade clinic might be made a part
of the program. over the door of the
convention hall might be blazoned the
sign, "He who enters here leave truth
behind" for truth has NJ more place
in the repertoire of a horse trader than
in that of a fisherman.
The projected convention should be
worth going miles to see and for
novelty and originality the wild west
shows would not be in It. Right here
is room for some man who wants to
make a pot of money by putting it on
the road. The automobile has so side
tracked the horse trader in most sec
tions of the country that, like the In
dian and buffalo, he is becoming a GU
riosity. With a Yankee, a Quaker, a
cowboy, a horse wrangler and a sod
buster in the principal roles, the show
would take like wildire. There is
millions in 1t" for some enterprising
man who seizes upon the opportunity
before it ID too late.

OVerfatness Condemned

Fat, or even fattish. women readers who
want to be in the mode this year must I'M
derstand that the demand is for lines, not
curves. and govern themselves accordingly.
That means OFF with the fat. It has be-
come a duty. Many are trying exercise or
dieting; but IL is certain they will find
these methods too slow and unreliable. The
cheapest and safest way to get in form for
the Directoire mode is by means of Mar
mola Prescription Tablets Any druggist
Tor the Marmola Company, Dept. 533. De-
troit, Mich.,) will give you a large-sized
case Of these elegant little fat reducers.
containing a good, generous supply, for
seventy-flve cents. and even this quantity
should be enough to make a decided i'm
preston on your excess fat. Many have
lost as much as a pound a day.
These Marmol Prescription Tablets NAV
be used with impunity and likewise perfect
confidence. for, being made strictly in ac-
cordance with the famous Marmnla Pre-
scription, they are, of course, quite harm
less. They are rather beneficial than other
wise. in fact, never disturbing the stomach
or causing a wrinkling Of the flesh.

Council Organization.

The new city council has perfected
its organization by the election of
Councilman Burmester as presiding
officer, which likewise puts him in line
to be acting mayor whenever the
mayor may be temporarily absent from
the city or otherwise prevented from
performing the duties of his office.
With the council evenly divided on
political lines, 1t was inevitable that
whoever should be made president
would have to be elected with the help
of votes from the opposite camp. The
fact that all six of the democrats we're
second termers, with the advantage of
councilmanic experience, would ordi-
narily give them an advantage, but in
this case it has worked to the con-
trary because the democrats found
themselves divided ove personal diff
ferences carried along with them from
the preceding council. The choice of
Mr.. Burmester in preference to the
other republican councilmen is recog-
milton of his previous service in the
council. whereas all of the others are
entering upon councilmanic work for
the first time.
Mr.. Burmester has the ability and
experience to make an acceptable pre-
siding officer. The possession of the
chair should be a point in favor of the
republicans in the work OF the council
even though they number the same as
the democrats. Few of the matters
which come UP for councilmanic &C
ton, however, are of a partisan char
acter and on all things which go to
make good and efficient city govern
ment the councilmen will be expected
to work together regardless of political
divisions.
