One would not suppose a horse
could get the drop on Fred Gadberry
who has handled horses all his life,
but one set on hair trigger, at the
Farmers Barn Saturday, put a foot
into Mr. Gadberry's left side, and came
near unjointing all of his Stats on that
side. Fortunately it was a glancing
blow or the young man would have
been candidate for plot in the Odd
Fellows cemetery.

A Correction

We beg to correct an item of lastweek which was made toread wrong by line being omitted in setting the type. consequently the devil is to blame for the error. We publish the correct item below:
 Manuel Candalaria. of Concho, one of Apache county's most enterprising, energetic young citizens has been spending the week in town attending to the receiving and shipping of close to 600 bags, over 150, GOO pounds of wool. This is the largest single individual wool clip ever shipped from this station Salter Brothers of Boston, Mass, were the consignees Of the clip. MT. Candelaria believes that what is worth doing at all is worth doing we'll, and we predict that next year his shipment will be much heavier than the present one.
 While we are correcting items we might as we'll correct another that the devil wasn't mixed up with, nobody to blame but the old man himself.

Now, Wasn't He Mean?

The following story is told of an Oklahoma farmer who went into a store recently to buy a saw.
 He saw the kind he wanted and asked the price. It was $1.65, the dealer said.
 Good gracious!'' said the man, q can get the same thing from 6 Go. for $1. 35. ",
 That's less than it cost me, :" said the dealer, ''but I'll sell it on the same terms as the mail order house just the same. '
 "All right" said the customer You can send it along and charge is to my account.
 Not on your life," the dealer replied. No charge accounts. You can't do business with the mail-order house that way. Fork over the cash"
 The customer complied.
 Now two cents postage and five cents for a money order"
 4'What -"
 Certainly. you have to send a letter and a money order to a mail-order house. you know"
 The customer, inwardly rav- ing. kept to his agreement and paid the seven cents.
 Now twenty-five cents ex- pressage." ]"
 Well, I'll be ID he said, but paid it, saying, Now, hand me that saw and I'll take it home myself and be rid of this fool cry"
 Hand it to you? Where do you think you are? You're in Oklahoma and I'm in Chicago, and you'll have to wait two weeks for that saw
 Whereupon the dealer hung the. saw on a peg and put the money in his cash drawer.
 That makes $1.67," he said. Tt has cost you two cents more and taken you two weeks longer to get it than if you had paid my price in the first place. "

In The Early Days.

Advertising is an art that has grown but slowly. Some of the old files of newspapers that are kept stored away in the Congress .sional Library are of the great est interest because they give as nothing else can an aspects of the times in which they were printed. The House Beautiful has found in one of these old newspapers some quaint little advertisements and among them is one of the little shop where lemons were sold in Boston by John Crosby. He called it The Basket of Lemons. This was away back in 1769. and Citizen Crosby modestly asserted that his lemons were as large, in general, as lemons commonly are" and that they were sold ''at 4 per hundred. or ten shill- ings per dozen" That would be from ten to twenty times the present cost. And yet one of the free trade advocates in Con- gress had the assurance last year to charge publicly that the high cost of living was due to the tariff on lemons.
 As to Mir. John Crosby's en- terprise in running a five or six line advertisement in 1769. what would he think now to see the

The Enlarged Homestead

Washington, April 20. Thro- ugh the passage of the enlarged homestead bill, the three year homestead bill, and other measures which have for their purpose more liberal treatment of citizens who desire to secure a home on the public domain, it is believed that the tide of emi- grafton to Canada will be some what checked.
 In all of the public land states there has been dissatisfaction for a number of years over the manner in which the public land laws have been administered. It has seemed as if the intent had been toharrass the settler tosuch an extent that he would abandon his claim and let it revert to it's original condition. Then came the cult of the conservationist, who sought to prevent the pass ing of title to individuals or cor porations altogether, and who wanted, and still wants to create vast rent roll for the govern ment, the idea being to give a bureauracy control and to extend its power and authority.
 Now there is a very natural reaction. The government hav- ing disposed of its choicest pub lie lands, it becomes necessary to make more reasonable regula- tions in order to induce the masses to get back to the land. " Encouragement for the farmer is also coming about as a result of the extensive work of the Agricultural Department at Washington, and the activities of it's trained scientists who are working in all portions of the country to help solve the pro- bIems of the farmer and the fruitgrower. Beside all this, Congress is beginning to look with more kindly eye on the need of extending such pro- lection as is afforded by the tariff to the farmers. At one time the latter seemed to be without the pale. Now the far mer. who made his voice heard when the Canadian reciprocity treaty was under discussion, has compelled the country to notice him, and in the future he will find little trouble in getting Con gress to listen to his petitions.

Fruit For Health.

In all ages the eating of fruit has been recognized as an aid to health. Some of the more ad- vanced dieticians advocate the use of friut and nuts exclusively. The more reasonable plan, how ever, seems to be to eat plenty of fruit" and that is the way Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the famed pure food expert puts it. He be- lieves that everyone should eat fruit say oranges or apples, and they cost about the same every day. The nation seems to be following this advice. Tt will save doctors bills," says Dr. Wiley, and who should know better than he? But that is a fundamental fact which every one should know from experience. It is pretty safe to say that the more fruit people eat, the better the heath of the nation will be.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- ton can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca tarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
