As my sister Mrs. Rexroat is
writing you a letter from here l
thought perhaps you would find
space in your paper for a few
lines from me, as haven't writ
ten to the News for quite a
while.
1t can only be imagined how
proud | was to see my sister and
little niece, whom l had not seen
for nearly eight years, and being
an only sister, and one that al
most raised me, as my mother
was an invalid, it was almost like
meeting mother as well as sister,
and the only regret is, she can
only spend a week with me.
Well, every thing in Oklahoma
is looking good. So much wheat
pasture never was known, and
fat horses and cattle in abun-
dance, which is great blessing
to this country. As you all know
the drouth hit the whole country,
but 1t appears to me that we in
the South West got the worst
jolt, as we had chinch bugs and
grasshoppers both to contend
with, outside OF dry weather and
hot winds, and consequently
there was but little feed raised,
but it rained in September, and
has been wet ever since, and
people got out an immense crop
of wheat-never any finer. We
are living in hopes of a good
crop in 1914. Corn is 90 cents
per bushel. wheat 7S cents, Oats
60, and hay SIS to $40 a ton.
Most of the farmers are feeding
wheat and letting the grain deal
ers keep their 80 cent corn.
Horses are cheaper than they
have been for some time, but
one can almost get his own price
for a good milk cow. Steers and
all beef cattle are high, but hogs
are only $3.50 a hundred. Fresh
shoulder meat is only III cents a
pound. Now who makes the
money on hogs? When the
farmer feeds 90 cent corn to hogs
and sells them on foot for $3.50,
/ can't figure any way, only for
him to go into the hole. How
long, o! how long is the Amer
lean farmer going to let the deal
ers price the stuff he raises and
the stuff he buys, and weigh his
stuff for him? There are three
ways for to get robbed, and as a
rule in the West they are not
backward about robbing. There
is one man in Enid that II years
ago was buying grain and carry
ing it in back room in a bushel
basket (accoreing to old settlers
word, and to-day he owns a
flour mill as large as there is in
the State, several elevators in
small towns around, and lives in
a $35, 900 residence, rides in his
big touring cars Now who
built him up? If the farmer
didn't, it looks like a little too
one-sided.
Well, l guess will close by
saying we haven't had scarcely,
any winter at all. and I don't
think there will be any kick COM
ing if it still continues this way.
Respt.,
Loe Bryant.

We can make it succeed if we
keep the faith. Its success
means permanent advance in
values and opportunities. Slow
ly but surely this proposition is
gaining and should be crowned
with success. Believing that a
brigter day is dawning and hop
ing that it will soon be here, The
News extends to it's many read

year in the history of this Sec

importance of using the hours
and days as they swiftly glide.
1T seems but a brief trip from
nineteen hundred and twelve to
the dawn of nineteen hundred
and fourteen, and yet, twelve
full months-a complete year
has been swept from the calen-
dar of time. In reviewing-tak-
ing back look over the year just
closed-The News regrets that
it has not carried more messages
of peace and good will and gave
more hope and. inspiration to the
community it serves. 1t regrets
that its feeble efforts to advance
the welfare of this section have,
in many instances, been misun-
derstood, but it has no regrets
for its insistency for better pub
lie conditions nor the manner it
sought tossecure them. Citizens
of this county, men of good judg-
ment andEmature thought, may
well look back over the year and
note thestendency of action and
accomplishment, and measure
the worth affecting the future.
Time flies, but this community
moves slowly if it moves at all
toward ends to be desired. The
year truly bad its blessings in
many things, and for these all
should be.truly thankful. The
morals of our.people remain good,
their social greetings unim-
paired, educational interests a
few degrees better than former
years, and religious life normal.
No great waves of enthusiasm
have reached this section in any
avenues of living, and it seems
We are drifting .serenely on to-
ward the end of our earthly ca
reer with sbut little effort to
brighten the future such is the
past, such the living of nineteen
hundred and thirteen. Turn to
the future in. the bud-hood of a
new year, and let US all resolve
to change the drift to intelli-
gent, united action to bring bet
ter public conditions in our NOR
, al, intellectual, religious and in
Neutrality-suspicious.. 1t is the du-
ty of all to be good citizens, to
be active and energetic in chosen
avenues of business, and it is
likewise a duty to render good
service to the public. The farm
should be desbetter, the place
of business enhanced, production
enlarged. Individual effort must
direct thrift and advancement in
personal interests, but after all,
public conditions affect, stim-
ulate or cripple individual en-
deavors. 1t behooves us all to
have a thrifty community, and if
united in purpose and action Co.
Iumbia and Adair county can do
more to create thrift and enter
prise during the incoming year
than it has ever done in a decade
before. The News does not pro.
pose to lead out of the wilder
ness, so to speak, but it does pro-
pose to do its whole duty as it
sees it. The effort now on to

PARCEL POST

The postman's brow is sad and stern, the postman's eyes with anger burn, he prays with doleful sound; his heart is full of woe because he's loaded down like Santa Clause each time he goes his round. What wonder that his spirits sore {? He looks like department store that has been placed on legs, with crates of turnips and of cheese, and scythes and forks and humble bees, and packages of eggs. To Jones he brings a crocodile, to Mrs. Jones new spring tile, to Smith a rocking chair; He car ries churns and catalogues and groceries and Shepherd dogs oh, brethern, is it fair? Our postman, who is tired and frail resembles much an action sale as he tolls up the street, three cords of junk upon his back, and you can hear his muscles crack and mark his aching feet Old Uncle Sam should change the rule and for each postman buy a mule, or else a chug- -chug cart; it isn't fair to load him down with all the bric-a- -brac in town and break his honest heart. The postman's heart is full of grief as he conveys 2 side of beef, a pitchfork and a churn, three cuspidors, a phon- ograph, a sawbuch and crated calf-his eyes with anger burn.

THE IDLE BOYS;
 WHO IS TO BLAME?

In two spcific cases in the Washington criminal court last week the testimony showed that the young men charged with offenses against the law had been boys who were idlers, without education, without trades and who had fallen in with evil associates and became youthful criminals. Their stories are not new. Tue pro- bation and juvenile officers will tell you that a majority of arrests of young men can be traced to Ian idle boyhood, no education, no trade, bad com- panions, drink" The story has become such an old one in the police court that they look up- On it as a matter of course.
