BROKE LEG.

Last Saturday Mrs. C. J. Crow
ley started with her little daugh-
ter to walk to the home of MIR.
Davis, a neighbOr. When within
about a block of the Davis home
Mrs. Crowley fell and was unable
to get up. The daughter haStened
to the Davis home and Mr.. Davis
came and got her while the daugh-
ter went TO DR.. FOcht'S house and
DIR. Kendall was summoned and
an examination showed that a
couple of bones had been broken
near the ankle.
Mrs. Crowley had fallen a short
time previous to this accident and
as she thought, sprained her an
kle and had be able TO walk only
with difficulty. Probably the
bone had been fractured by the
previous fall. DR.. Kendall set
the broken bones and the patient
is reported as getting along nicely.

Just. A Flood

The rain which began on Tues
day of this week did not amount
to much until about midnight,
when things began to happen.
From then on for a few hours it
really rained, and not less than
six inches of water fell between
that time and seven o'clock in the
morning.
The streets of the town, the
roads in the country, and the
fields were badly washed.
Spring river is getting out of
banks as fast as possible, and
Neosho river is three miles wide.
1t was the biggest rain seen
in this country in years.

Speak a Good Word

When the stranger enters your
gate, speak a good word for youI
town, for your neighbor, for the
community.
It is but little for you to do,
but it is rich in the fruits of af-
ter years.
A community is judged by the
words and acts of its people, and
we of this community are judged
BY others in like manner.
If the hearts of our people are
warmed by the fires of comrade-
ship and brotherly love our acts
will be in accord with our feel
ings, and the world will know
US as a community of honor and
integrity, as a people with a
soul, as a place worthy of a fu-
ture.
But if we lose the flO0dgates
of criticism and abuse and belit-
tie the community and its peo-
pie, then in time we will descend
to a level which we create for
ourselves, and the world will
know us as a people whom it is
we'll to let alone.
Every day we are adding new
rungs to the community ladder,
but are they going up, or down?

Misusing
His Brains.

Everybody has brains, but not
everyone uses them to best ad-
van are.
For instance: One day we
dropped into a business house
that never advertises and noted a
rough sign on the window offer
ing a certain article for sale at a
reduced price, but with no figures
given.
We said nothing, but casually
glanced around for the article.
1t was no where to be seen.
Others came iu and looked around
bought a few things and went out.
That business man has a fair
allotment of brains, but he simp-
ly fails to apply them properly.
He should have inserted an ad
in this paper offering the article
in question at a specially reduced
price, and should have stated the
price. That would have started
a certain number of people to
looking for it.
Then he should have set out
one or more of the articles on the
counter with a placard reading,
"As Advertised, $1.25," or what
ever the price may have been.
Another one with a placard
might have been placed in his
store window.
The advertisement in the paper
would have conveyed the inform
alton of bargain to the general
public. The article prominently
displayed with price attached
would have made the sales.
Brains are a good thing to
have, but they are vastly more
effective when used to advantage.

Spirit reckoning to arise:
Drives the frowning brow OF
night.
Glory bursting DER. the skies.
Thou. Lord Of al withtui
