Another Century.

WHY not celebrate the one hun
dredth anniversary of trouserss We
have observed many less important
centenaries. Who can measure the
influence OF masculine neither gar
ments on the race? Most of the
propress OF the world has occurred
since their introduction and in the
Lands where they have fiourished.
II would be rather startling logic
which would seek TO prove that
trousers are therefore the cause oil
advancement, but at least they are
an attendant circumstance and OUT
ward sign. When the Japs took M
western civilization they discarded
flowing robes and donned the divided
cylinders With which we encase our
legs. Now that the Chinese have es-
tablished a republic they are follow
ing suit.
II Is impossible to determine tn
exact month that saw knee breeches
90 to the discard, and the modern
garment stalk ON the scene, but II
was iust about hundred years ago
Neither has history halded down the
name OF the first brave man who
made the change. This is a great
loss for he would be entitled TO q
monument, in fact two OF them ris-
ing side by side in the inverted form
OF his sartorial invention,
1t is proud day when a boy can
put on long trousers. In the sama
way the year when mankind began
wearing them marked our emergence
from racial childhood.
The name by which these indis
pensable garments have been called
are many. "Breeches" was once
popular, as is shown by the touch
Ing poem, MY Brooches, o Ny
Breeches!" Some Of the heather
still refer to them as pants.
1t is easy to prove that they are
the most important part Of the war
drohe. A man may go without a
coat on the street and may even dis
nense with his shirt on q hot day,
But he has to wear trousers of he

Many Deadly Weapons.

Some persons attribute all crime
to the pistol. forgetting that history
tells us that more crimes were com
mitted in the world before there we're
pistols. What is to prevent a person
murderously inclined from obtaining
and using carving knife, an ice pick,
an ak. or Ratchet, razor or baseball
bat? These all make deadly weap-

Cloverport has never had a more
optimistic citizen to come back home
than Mr.. Eugene Hay is not
only enthusiastic over his own success
full enterprises out West, hut he is
pleased with the bright out look for a
bigger and better Cloverport and a
prosperous year for Brecke nridge
county.
"My dream for Cloverport", said Mr.
Haynes, ''is for the town to have
water-works. You have perfect natur-
al resources here, and said two years
ago, il the town would form the stock
company, would take stock amount-
ing to- at least, eight or ten thousand
dollars, for / see the great possibilities
for a Cloverport with water.works. If
the town would pay off the railroad
bonds with the money that is in the
sinking fund and then take up bonds
for water-works, then city water sup
ply could be arranged for and furnish
ed" Mr.. Haynes said he paid $l.75 a
hundred dollars for insurance in Clo-
yer port and in Durant where they haI t
water works, he pays only % cents.
II would not live in town without
water now-for | have no fears OF fire,
besides the pleasure the water supply
affords" He was sincerely interested
in getting water for Cioverport and also
spoke of improving the cemetery. He
talked, at length, about his old home
town and its advantages.
Mr.. Haynes has been in partnership
with George w. Short thirty years. In
all that time, he says they have not
had one cross word and their relations
have been those of friendship, honor
and true consideration for each other in
business matters as vel, as in personal
affairs.
Short x Haynes have sold out their
drug business in Durant and have their
office in which their time is wholly lie
voted to farming interests. They own
seventeen farms, containing three thou
sand acres. They own and run large
cotton gin, they raise wheat, oats and
other products. Some of their farms
are of river bottom land, lyeing on Blue
River. Mr.. Haynes brought several
photographs of the farms
Seven years ago they moved to DE-
rant-since then the town has had a
slow steady growth to a population of
5000. 'Durant is good town morally,
boot-leggers have poor show of ex-
istance, and hope never to see the
day when Oklahoma will ever be any
thing other than a prohibition state.
1t is too progressive to go back to the
Old way" said Mr.. Haynes.
While here Mr.. Haynes is the guest
Of Mr.. ard Mrs. S. p Conrad. He will
leave tomorr W for his home in Durant.
