Chickasaw County Sunday School
Convention.
INTERESTING PROGRAM CARRIED
OUT LAST WEEK AT
Houston

OCdC0 OSCISCdIy, RcN. TFeu
Long, who is always practical,
told US at the outset of his dis
covery on his way to the conven-
ton of two boys who had never
been to Sunday School. They
were fourteen or fifteen years of
age. They live about four miles
from Okolona. Every one, at
all interested in Sunday Schools
ought to attend these conven-
tions. We find out what we are
not doing. We are not doing
our best work on those who at.
tend our schools. Those who
are the most successful take ad-
vantage Of all such gatherings
and are constantly reading books
to help. Yet we never reach our
ideals. However, we find some
splendid Schools in Chickasaw
county and some others that are
going toimprove. They are get
ting in touch with others who
can tell them how.
President John W. Hill makes
a good presiding officer. While
modest as to his claims at speech
making, his words are effective.
What he does not know of the
work over the county Mr.. P. W.
Shell could tell him.
The convention was a great
help, Brother Long and W. A.
Chisolm had so many good things
to say we cannot begin to enum-
crate. They are always at their
beat. Rev. J. H. Holder gave a
we'll thoughtout address on the
Essentials of a Well Organized
School. Suppose every Superin-
tendent and officer and teacher
would discover these essential
things and apply them. We
would have such a differentstate
of affairs. 1t is easier to get
along well organized than it is to
go hap-hazard. Rev. j. F. Ed
dins spoke about the Opening
and Closing Exercises. No
school has yet been discovered
which has ten O'Clock for it's
hour of meeting that really gets
its membership present at that
hour and begins on time. Peo-
pie will come at 9:30 much easier
than than they will at ten.
They are impressed that there is
something to go to and not just
a little affair to get through with
before preaching, Mr.. Scott, a
former resident of Houston,
brought US amessage, not simply
a report, from his school at Gle
burne, Texas, a real spiritual
message. Mrs. w. W. Jack and
Miss Grace Evans furnished
splendid we'll prepared papers on
Primary work. These ladies are
eminently qualified to tell others
of things in their line.
An interesting feature of the
program was the reception given
by the Young Ladies Class in
the Sunday School rooms of the
Methodist church where the ses-
sions were held. This part Of
the church has recently been re-
modelled. An example of what
most any church could do by
way of improving its equipment.
The convention took great in
terest in the young ladies ano
their organization work. Rev.
R. P. Neblett and his wife left
nothing unthought of for the
convenience Of guests and were
important factors in making the
convention a success.
The next meeting will be with
Ebenezer church.
The following are the names
of officers elected for the coming
year: President, A. T. Stovall,
Vice President, Wiley Lewis;
Secretary and Treasurer, J. W.
Hill.

THE MAN WHO TRIES

When we find a good thing it
does us good to push it along.
When we find our sentiments ex-
pressed better than we can do
it-well, here it is, copied from
THE Charity Ledger" the
Presbyterian Orphanage paper
printed at Columbus:
Sing me a song of the man who
tries,
The man who pictures his goal
ahead,
And keeps it always before his
eyes.
Determined to reach it with
faithful tread;
Who fails to-day, but tomorrow
COll4OD
Right back to the hill he wants
to climb,
And the merry song from his
heart he huns
There is the man who will win
sometime.
Sing me a song of the man who
tries,
The man who follows a certain
way,
Who journeys on under leaden
skies,
Content with the progress made
each day;
Who slips and fails, but with
courage great
And faith in himself that is
sublime.
Still fights his battle with man
and fate
There is the man who will
WIN sometime" "

Life

Look to this day, for it is Life
the very Life of Life. In its
brief course lies all the varities
and realities of your existance,
The bliss of Grouth, the glory OF
Action, the splendor of Beauty,
For yesterday is already a adream
and tomorrow is only a vision;
but today we'll lived, makes
every yesterday a dream of hap
piness and every tomorrow a
vision of hope. Look we'll,
therefore, to this Day. Such is
the salutation of the Dawn.

 Der Of County Officials.

 Officially tabulated returns from seventy-siX counties and unofficial returns from the remaining seven in the state give Fred w. Hclt Socialist candidate for governor, J, ,267 votes. R. l.. Williams. Democrat, who won. received few votes more than 1OO.- 900. and John Fields, Republican, re- coived about 95.000.
 The Socialist showing in Oklahoma this ysar reveals that the party is relatively stronger in Oklahoma than ln any ether state, and leaders of the other two parties already are plan hing active warfare against it.
 Old Parties Fall Oif.
 Compared with four years ago. when Oklahoma last elected a gov ernor, the Democratic vote fell off 20,000, the Republican vote fell off 4,00o and the Socialist vote gained 10000 Compared with the presiden- tial election two years ago, the Demo- cratic vote fell off 29000, the Kepub- lican vote fell off 4,Oo0. and the So- cialist vote gained 15,000. At the same time the two big parties were making this showing the Socialists were increasing, the Progressive and Prohibition parties pclled such weak vote as to lose their places on the ballot.

Friendly Fish.

A curious instance of tic familiarity of fishes with human beings has been observed in Portland, Ore, at the Unl- ted States barge office. The official boat is kept at the end of the wharf. Some time ago one of the boatmen began to notice fish about eight inches long, and resembling a carr that seemed to wish to scrape acqualn- tance. The fish would come up to the top of the water whenever the man ap- peared, and did not seem to be at ali afraid. After time all the men got to know the fish; and began to tako friends to see him. At first ne might not be in sight, but he would very soon appear and frisk around near the surface. Once or twice he has come so close ;ls to rub his nose against tne boatlnan's hand, and the men are waiting further developments.

GOVERNMENT.

Washington, d. C.-Chas. S. Mel
len will testify tomorrow before the
commerce commission, notwithstand-
ing earleir indications that the in
quiry might be ended lest immunity
be given witnesses. This announce
ment was made by Folk after stir

Folk and Commissioner McChord
went to the attorney generals office,
where Senator Kern of Indiana, and
Senator Norris of Nebraska, had
preceded them within a few minu-
ties. Folk and McChord left the con-
ference showing excitement. Asked
why he left, Folk said:
''1'he conduct of Mr.. McReynolds
was such that we did not care TO re-
main"
After the conference Senator Nor
ris, author of the resolution which
instituted the New Haven inquiry
went to Folks office. At the conclu-
sion of the talk with Norris Mr.. Folk
said:
Eve are going ahead with this in
vestigation and Mr.. Mellen and the
directors of the Kew Haven will be
put on the stand. We are going to
bring out the truth, the whole truth
no matter whom it hits or hurts'

farms and only small percentage
would speculate. In studying the
figures relative to what would be
done with the money it is interesting
to note that the farmers who want
to buy live stock were living in To-
calities having a high interest rate.
This is surely good sign and argues
we'll for the Better Farming work
that has been done for the past few
years. Farmers having valued their
land at $50 per acre and estimate
that s2305 can be borrowed on each
quarter section.
IF there is cheaper money pro-
blem it can only be solved by better
ing our credit. Our credit is deter
mined by our financial trustworthi-
ness. To better the credit there must
be greater confidence in the financial
|trustworthiness of the farmer. ~
This can be had by becoming bet
ter farmers, better statesmen of farm
products and by farming so as to save
in place of wasting soil fertility.
