The proof.

This may stand as a broad asser-
ton. But into those who rise to say
that we are wrong we hereby fire
broadside OF succulent statistics to
chow exactly where we stand. We
are not dealing with opinions here
hut with cold clammy and pallidid
proofs arrayed from cluster of
facts. Frank Is now in his third
world series. He has faced the best
pitching Cubs and Giants have had
to offer pennant winning pitching
considered above par. And in these
three years out of ffty-nine trips to
The plate, he has torn OFF twenty-five
base hits for an average exactly .424
In the same period Collins has been
al bat fifty-four times, where he has
delivered twenty-five hits for the
average OF 406. Just let this sink in
for a moment as YOU ponder on the
why's and wherefore.

a VERY GOOD SUGGESTION.

i seems that there are some OF them
in Altus, too. Anyway. the Altus Dem
ocrat offers food for thought in
every community, together with a very
valuable suggestion, in the following
editorial
"The so-called citizen OF this good
town Of Altus, who has no more use
for his time or talents than to sit
around and whittle on everything and
everybody, the idler, croaker, knocker,
or anything you have a mind to call
him, II he cannot induce himself to be
useful in times like these, which, above
everything else, demand the best indi-
yidual efforts, and a decent and fair
attitude Of man to man, might at leas;
ber less harmful, il he were to exert
himself even enough to just keep quiet.
Every man has a perfect right to
his own time, but he ought to look to
his own case, rather than be eternally
meddling in the motives Of his fellow
citizens. When a man reaches the
point where he is willing to do less
than turn hand to neip progressive
community interest. less than spend
cent to better his own community. and
less than even think a constructive
thought to bring up the average senti
ment Of progress, but insists on attack
ing the motives of the man who does
invest, his time, money and energies
in an effort to better the average CON
dltions OF the community. it suggests,
that, II not in weight, at least in the
value of citizenship, the parcel post
rate would apply, in case some Of these
wiseacres took a notion to leave town.

ROAD TALK AND ROAD WORK.

Eating barbecued chicken and talk
ing" good roads is a picnic-but work
ing the roads and dining on barbecued
beef is what really makes showing
--Verden News.
In the above paragraph our verden
contemporary takes sly dig at the
Chickasha good readers, intimating
that they are disposed to do their road
building with their jaws rather than
with their strong arms.
On examining the record IN this case
the court finds that the verden folks
have to their credit one very successes
ful Coed Roads Day" when the whole
population turned out and worked like
beavers and That they have arranged
for another similar performance. On
this point the testimony Of the News
is as follows:
Tuesday, July 22, was another red
letter day for the people OF this com
munity and the result Of the days
work on the road north Of town has
added wonderfully toward the compile:
tion Of this stretch Of sandy road.
Another days work, with the force
that will turn out next Goods Roads
Day, August 10, the second Tuesday
OF the month, will complete the road
and put it in first class condition anc
the people Of this community may well
feel proud and glad to be numbered
among the real community builders.
The spirit shown by the worthy cit
izens Of Verden and our farmers in
building roads has not abated but Is
gradually showing more interest, and
the result Of their labor is putting
them in the front rank OF enterprising
men and real workers, on whom de-
pend the upbuilding and advancement
Of Yerden and the surrounding coun-
try"
Looking into the other side OF the
case, the court further finds It to be
fact that up to the present time the
tangible results shown by our own good
readers amount to nothing more than
lot OF fine talks. We therefore ac-
cept the gentle chiding Of our verden
contemporary with due meekness.
However, in justice TO our home
Highway builders, let it be said that it
viii not be ever thus The truth is
that some very definite results win
soon emerge from the m4zes OF mere
conversation Agitation is the preilra-
mary stage OF all great movements
and we therefore had to go through ii
but now We are entering upon the
period Of actual work and unless all
signs fail. ere many moons. the Mil.
tary highway through Grady county
will become the real thing. When the
time is ripe our industrious citizens
