Why Oklahoma Farmers are Poor
A Bryan county girl, londering
why so many of the farmers dere SO
poor, paused by the roadside one day
and reasoned it out. The average
farmer gets up early with the Con-
necticutt alarm clock, buttons his Chi
cago suspenders to his Detroit over
alls, puts on pair oil cowhide boots
made in Cleveland, washes in Pitts
burg basin, uses Cincinnati soap and
dries on a cotton towel made in New
Hampshire, sits dbwn to Grand
Rapids table, eats breakfast food from
Battle Creek, hot biscuit made from
Minnesota flour, Kansas City bacon
and Indiana grits fried in Omaha lard
on St. Louis stove, buys Irish pota-
toes grown in Michigan and canned
fruit put up in California, seasoned
with Rhode Island spices, fills his
pipe with Kentucky tobacco, puts on
his hat made in Philadelphia and har-
nesses his Missouri mules fed on Iowa
corn, with New York harness, and
plows his farm covered with Mas
sachusetts mortgage with an Indiana
plow. At night he crawls under a
New Jersey blanket nd is kept awake
by dog, the only home product on
the place, and wonders why he keeps
so poor. A., M. "A.

The members of the Young Wom- cn's Christian association are ask ing friends to be their guests on Thursday evening.

The gathering will be in Eastlake park and supper will be served al f1esco Chat means in the open air) as soon after six o'clock as possible,
 The recreation committee eXperi creed some difficulty in wording the invitation properly Each member of the '. W. (. A. is asked to bring enc friend. but as friend is very inclusive term and might be con- Strucd to mean q man (banish the thought at d r. ". C. A. gathering) that word would not do.
 Lady friend was not to be con sidered; girl friend was not suffi- ciently inclusive; person of the female sex was not good form, so finally the committee decided that the secretary might use the word woman friend to express the proper meaning
 After using so much gray matter to properly word the invitation, the committee hope a good number of the membership will use gray mat . ter in corresponding ratio to remem- Der time and place and the proper escort
 That they may have some idea for now many to prepare. it is urged that members telephone their ac- ceptance of the invitation or leave word with the secretary at the desk
 The committee urge further as q very important feature of the occa = sion that each person provide her self with fork and cup. As the question has already been raised. lease note that the sentence reads each person will provide: also. that the request is not confined to the membership: two persons being un- able properly to use one cup and one fork at the same time and place.
 Note also the conjunction. one cup and one fork, not one cup or one fork, the articles not being inter changeable.
 Remember the date, Thursday May 2S. at Eastlake park

Trial of Nathan Hale

The name of Nathan Hale presetnS at once to our minds the ideal hero. TC meet execution as a spy is not all especially glorious death, yet is requires great courage and fortitude tc serve in such capacity, and Nathan Hale deserves well of hiS country for the loyalty he displayed
 When Washington and his half starved army of patriots lay before the city of New York many difficult questions arose, and upon their solu- tion depended it's fate. The general realized it was necessary to send d SPY to the British lines to learn their intention. lie requested Colonel knoWlton to call his officers tOgeth- CT to ask for d volunteer. When the plan was stated there was silence and not one expressed willingness tc undertake the arduous task.
 Just then Nathan Hale entered and in a cheerful, determined voice said T will go When his friends tried to dissuade him he replied: "l am full sensible of the conse- quences of discovery and capture in such situation
 Hale called upon Washington. re- ceived his instructions, and started CT the dangerous expedition. H. clothed himself in the garb of a schoolmaster, and, carrying with him his college diploma, Hale walk cd about forty miles, and crossed from Harlem Heights to Long Island end from there he finally reached New York Thus far he was sue cesstul. He had been for nearly two weeks within the enemy's lines: he made designs of all the notifications c. Howe, he formed an estimate of the strength and numbers of the en- emy, and he was now about to re- turn
 It was not to be wondered at that he grew d little reckless and over continent as he sat .in the tavern of Widow Chichester, the resort ot | officers and Tories of the town | While there he understood from the i proprietor that boat was nearinl the shore, and Hale rushed out, be- lieving it bore a party of his friends but imagine his surprise when all most to land he found number o1 muskets leveled at him with tho | command to surrender

NOT A STlMULANT

E. C <eister, NJ. D., superintend cit sanitarium for mental and nerV ous diseases. page 127, senate Docu mcnt 4S, SiXty-first Congress, first session:
 Recent investigation clearly dis proves the old theory of alcohol be- ing a heart stimulant. It no longer lays any claim to it's supposed power of augmenting the hearts action, but on the contrary, it slowly depresses the action of the heart muscle, and ultimately paralyzes both the muscle and the delicate nerves of the leart " ."
 It is a true saying that "a man is no older, no younger. and no stronger than his blood vessels
 We have most de- rlorable condition of the vessels, the cells. and walls of the stomach in persons addicted to the moderate use of alcohol, giving rise to the many and varied symptoms of dys- pepsia, such as slowing the process of digestion by the destructive ef- fleets of alcohol on the pepsin of the gastric juice. It is claimed that one grain of alcohol is capable of de- stroying 500 grains of pepsin. one of the well-known character istics of alcohol is it's power to eX- tract water from any object with which it comes in contact. hence its | deleterious effect on the blood cor | puscles, which contain 79 per cent .f leo ffrfa irfIf which contains 97 per cent water; I the pancreatic juice which contains | 90 per cent; the saliva, which con tains 99 per cent water, etc. IL eX i tracts the moisture from the 5000 900 little cells that supply the gas tric juice to the stomach. and de slroys the protoplasm of the epi- | lhelia cells of the lining of the stomach, and in 50 doing the func- tons of this important organ of di gestion are almost obliterated. We find that the entire alimentary canal is more or less affected by the same destructive process. in fact. no part of the human structure escapes tLe destructive influence Of this in | sidious enemy.

MYSTIC
Village Has Population of 5,000-Many
 Advantages. but Some Needs.

The Publicity committee of the Mems club of Mystic places the pop ulation of Mystic at over 5000, show ing a nice gain in the last 15 years. But, there is room for many more. There are as fine building sites as can be found anywhere in Connecticut either for summer homes or for homes for the year round. There are many beautiful places for rides or walks It will be hard to find a better place for a boat ride than on the Mystic river As a place for manufacturing, Mystic has many advantages. Mystic has one of the most beautiful ceme- teries in the state.
 Mstic has four or five clubhouses and several halls that are used as meeting places, by a number of socie- ties. It has five chhurches and two up-to- date schoolhouses. But there a few things that Mystic should have, including a free public library with reading room, at least one playground and a park and a hall for the Boy Scouts of America. There are many places in Connecticut of less than 1000 inhabitants that have all of these and the people are pleased with the benefits derived from them. Local a right to have it. There is a. great deal of complaint about children spending so much time on the streets. Where else can they go when they leave their homes or schools? If the churches, the clubs, societies and all the people of Mystic would take up this matter something might be done for the benefit of the boys and girls of Mystic.
