w. P. Wright Gaining

The many friends of W. P. Wright,
proprietor of the Economy store, who
left several weeks ago for Eureka
Springs, Arkansas, In search of
health, will be pleased to learn he is
gradually improving The following
article is taken from a recent issue
of the Eureka Springs Times Echo
"W. p Wright of Liberal, Kan, a
prominent business man of his town,
came TO Eureka Springs several weeks
ago for his health. He had been in
poor health for long time, suffering
with his stomach. Hearing of this
resort, and feeling that health was
worth more to him than wealth, left
his business in hands OF others, and
came here coating at % Pine street
Mr. Wright is more than pleased with
the marked improvement he has re-
ceived and the several pounds of ex-
ira flesh he has taken on. His whole
counleDance is changed, showing a
pleased and happy face. Pure air,
Eureka Springs water and mountain
climbing, with just little of DR.. NJ.

1t Should be Enforced

The large speed limit signs placed
by the city council in different parts
OF the town don't seem to be large
enough for some fellows to read
driving by them. 1t seems that a
lot of people whose mechanical know
ledge is limited to the proper mani
pulation of wheelbarrow take a
keen delight in throwing her wide
open" when driving through the
business part of town, regardless to
the risk of the lives of the pedes-
trians or the danger to other cars.
We have seen several inst ances this
week of hair-breadth escapes from
these speed fiends, and some day
someone is going to get change Of
scenery in hurry as a result of this
carelessness. Arresting q few of
these fellows and good stiff fine
might take a little enthusiasm out
Of bunch that carry scrambled eggs
where grey matter ought to grow.

Our friend Zimmerman of the
Guymon Herald is also throwing on a
little dog" in his old days. He is
threatening to build bran new
home for his paper, one made of
brick and big enough to cover half
the townsite of Guymon. 1t seems
funny that a republican paper can
prosper so in these democratic hard
times and financial strlngency, but
this religious weekly Is pleased to
think that little things like that
don't hold Zim back.

Wheat Looks Good

1t was the writer's privilege this
week 10 get look at the country be-
tween Liberal and Hooker and a
couple of short drives north and west
of town. In every direction the
wheat is looking exceptionally we'll
this year, and If the season turns out
all right the prospects are good for
even better crop of the staple than
the crop just harvested The heavy
rams OF the last few weeks have been
of wide scope aud fell in a manner
that allowed the earth to absorb the
moisture as fast as it fell. The
wheat is now IN such condition that
it can withstand rough winter
without any more moisture, but that
we will have plenty of rain this fall
is almost an assured fact. There is
considerable volunteer wheat in diff.
ferent localities, great deal of which
is coming up thicker than that which
is sown. This should either be har-
rOwed over in order TO thin it out or
be grazed down closely by cattle.
Wheat that is too thickly sown will
not do well unless assisted by an ex-
traurdifary amount of rain during
the growing season
Not only does the small grain crop
look promising, but the maize, kafir,
feterita and other small grain crops
will yield abundantly. There will be
plenty of work for all the threshing
rigs in the country from now until
next spring II the fall crops have
time to mature properly before frost
hits them. Some of our Seward
county farmers will have to place
their orders soon for barrels to put
their money in if they intend to take
proper care Of it when their crops are
marketed.

The Fret Frost

The first frost of the season hit
this part of the country Monday
night. 1t was very light and would
have been unnoticeable had the wind
that night been little stronger. No
damage was done the growing crops

gentle reminder that the good old

either English and U. S. history,
commercial arithmetic and book
keeping.
The last named courses are both
good, but lack of teaching force
makes both impossible. The course
desired by the majority of the class
will be given.
The play ground and school
swings features OF the school, will
be again important factors in the
school work. The school Welfare
League and the school annual will
not be forsaken during the coming
year. Other new features will be
introduced to make the school of as
great service as possible to the
comm unity.
Parents are urged to make an eff
fort to have the children in school
as early in the year as possible. 1t
is OF advantage both to pupil and to
the school. Every child who enters
late holds back the grade as rule.
So those who can are requested to
have the children in town ready for
work Sept. 6.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE
POSTAL SYSTEM

One hundred and forty years ago
Postmaster Benjamin Franklin took
over the private mail system which
had undertaken the delivery of let
tiers in this country and made it a
government institution. The sys-
tenn then consisted of 80 postoff1ces
nine post riders and a slow schoon-
er line to Atlantic coast points. To.
day there are fully 10000 post
offices in the United States postal
syst m and the department employs
100000 persons.
In the early days when Franklin
still had charge of thesystem, moth
ing was supposed to be carried but
letters, although the carriers oc-
casiQnally took weekly papers and
packages as special favor. AS
late as 1880 one small leather
pouch was large enough to hold all
the mail bound south from New
w. in one day. Today the depart
ment makes use of 100000 mail
sacks
