ECHOES FROM HERE AND THERE.

Your mother was quite right. my
Lady Hal. The best friend we have is
one that thinks enough of US to point
out our faults and help US to correct
them. Still think she will agree with
me that Capt. Ed Beale went about it
in the wrong way. 1t never does any
good to wound feelings by odious com
parlsons and his last thrust was that
a hog rancher would not live with our
people, if We would give them our
land. We admit that we have a few
bad people and that all of US have our
faults, and it is only by the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ that the world
can be made better, though a woman
with hatcher made Kansas and Okla
homa habitable.
Reading of the noble and heroic deed
OF Catron brought memories of the
years gone by. We have a photo of
Charlie, made when he was less than a
year old-a blue-eyed, flaxen haired,
chubby baby boy, with such a lovabe
sweetness of expression. Since the
mother gave 1t me, have never met mo-
ther or son, though the echoes tell US
the mother has wrought we'll, and she
has honorable representation in the
army and navy, in the highest educa-
tlonal circles and in the grandest in
stitution of all the home. And this is
message of love and congratulation
to my old school friend.
Rex, who was it that said There is
always good in the worst of us, ALWAYS
bad in the best of u.s.. So it doesn't
behooVe any of us to talk about the
rest of US. Do you practice YOUR
preachlngs? If you do know you are
a noble neighbOr. We surely appreci-
ated the compliment u paid one of
US, but we are in pondery as to
winch or US deserved it. OF course,
each of US take it for granted that it is
ours. There is so much more of each
OF US now than then we surely rust be
whole lot'' better looking.
Here comes BoboIink telling US that
automoblllng doesn't afford the "Ideal
opportunity of the old fashion buggy
ride small talk" | agree with vou
Bob, for some times | think it must
afford some aWfully big talk if Ma
dame RumOr is always true.
Say, G. S. B., it's a seldom occur
renee that you find such a hospitable
fellow as Mr.. Swinney. Lending auto,
furnishing a driver and company, too,
is a compliment desirous of repetition,
isn't it? 1t beats one of our BOYS over
here. There were two pretty girls
who wanted to so some few miles out
to a picnic, one was to prepare a lunch,
the other borrow CD a car. So they
sdilea atf QUE I'7iioTN1. tr 11ra4rfeu nlt&4J,
his car was engaged that day. TEey
were kinder abashed at asking a single
fellow to lend his, so asked him for his
car and him (?) to drive. why er,
I-er believe | can make the trip for
$3.50. y We'll, thank you, III let you
know later if we decide to CO." De-
eide? Why he surely decided for
them. And Echoest laughed some, for
they had told her that they did not
want her hanging around that day.
Guess it is a good thing for Mr.. Swim
ney that he doesn't live over east.
Mr.. J. R. Brown is busily engaged
in cutting and baling hay on the Glen
Donald farm this week.
Mr., and Mrs. Milton Ellard are at
bedside of their little grandson, John
ROamond Howard, anxiousIy watching
and praying for convaIescence from
a severe attack of congestion. We. too,
