The Lid is On.

If anyone doubts that the lid is
on in this section of the beautiful
earth, just let him meander forth
and try to irrigate his interior ap-
paratus with anything in the shape
of headache drops, from Scotch
highball down to flip of the dope
that made Milwaukee famous. Yes.
the lid is clamped on good ana plen-
ty with officers of the law roosting
en- the safety valve, and the man
who needs any fluid in his boilers
will now have to be satisfied with
the undiluted mixture, which we have
learned TO call water, as 1t comes
from the city lake or from within
the historic banks of the raging
Caddo.

ARE YOU A BOOSTER?


We do not mean by this to ask
if you are one who announces to the
public that the general good of the
community demands that such and
such things should be done. but TO
ask if you are one of those who will
grab hold and go out and help to
do these things? II you belong to
the first class you are several de-
grees above the town knocker, but
are by no means entitled to wings OF
guaze or a halo. II you belong to the
second class-to the class made up
of the truly public spirited who work,
as well as talk, for the benefit of
the town and of all the people in
the town, then you are live wire
and really entitled to have your
name carved on the corner stones OF
some of the buildings which will
stand after you have been gathered
to your fathers (unless the graft in
the construction of those buildings
has been so great that, like pride,
IL will encompass their untimely falD.
Everybody knows the knocker. His
name is legion and he is to be found
in every community, from the VII
lage of fifty inhabitants to the CITY
with its hundreds Of thousands He
is a harmful element in the popula-
tion of every state, of every city, OF
every town-but he Is not nearly so
harmful as the lukewarm booster
the fellow who says everything under
the sun could and should find an
abiding place in the portion of the
universe which he enriches and hon
ors by living in it-but who, when
it comes to a show down is willing
to do nothing but the shouting. Such
men make good starters, but awfully
poor finishers.
The man who will attend the mass
meeting" and crate at great length
on the good things which are to be

red handed knocker who will stand
on the sidewalks breezy edge and
tell all passers by that "the scheme

the movement are not the right sort.
The class of men which build up
nations and towns are the fellows
who will roll up their sleeve sand

A Chickasha lawyer matched wits,
a few days ago with an old, white
headed negro. He loaned the negro
eighty-five dollars and the negro
secured him by signing a mortgage
on "one brindle COW, Molly, one red
COW, Maggie, one sixteen hand five
year-old horse Tom" and numerous
ether chattels, all of which were es-
timated as worth five hundred dol
lars. Investigation showeth that
Molly and Maggie and Tom, together
with the other chattels, existed in
the imagination only of the negro.
The negro has turned the eighty-five
dollars over to another lawyer to
use in getting him out of Jail. Okla
homa just has to have the protection
of the grandfather clause in more
ways than one.

commencing Tuesday morning, and oc-
cupying two days. About $50 appli-

has been a decided decrease in the
number of applicants at the semi-an-
nual examination.

name the county health officers for the
seventy-nine counties of the state
Spirited contests for some of these
berths are in prospect, each county
furnishing from two to a dozen as
pirantsI The officers will be selected

There has been plenty of hot sun.

the farmers are hopeful that this con-

at this time, and corn can go for at
least week longer without injury if
no rains occur.
The only fly in the ointment is the
appearance of boil weevils in large
numbers in many of the southern
counties. Thus far, however, none of
the insects have been seen in the delta
section.
