a majority vote of the land owners,

IN MEMORIAM

Miss Sarah Mariah Pendleton was
born in Columbia, Mo-, June 7, 1885.
She was educated in Columbia College
and lived in that city until 1874 when
she came to Ft. Worth, Texas. She has
lived also in Dallas and Gainesville,
Texas, but moved to Ardmore, Okla
in 1899 and has made her home here
since that time.
Aunt Sallie," as she was familarly
known, was loved by all who knew her
numbering as she did her friends by
! her acquaintances. Her striking per-
sonality, kindness of heart, sunny dis
position and beautiful Christian life
! kept her surrounded with host of
/ friends who learned to love her and in
whose hearts she was enshrined as an
ideal woman. None knew her but to
, lover her; none spoke of her but to
praise'-and many hearts and homes
were saddened at her going away.
While she lived her life unmarried
and was without family and hearth
stone of her own, yet she made many
homes of her people glad when she
filled her accustomed place, and each
We'd with the other to make it pleas
ant for her and sought to keep her
always with them.
Her home for the last few years has
been with her niece, Mrs. Edgar Sand
lin, but she was surrounded with hosts
of relatives, from far and near, when
the end came.
And while we know that she. will be
sadly missed and no words spoken can
chase away the gloom that her alb
sence has left, yet It's cheering to
know that she is waiting on the beau
tiful shore of the bright beyond to vel
come those whom she has left behind,
when the summons comes, to come
up higher and share in the joys pre-
pared for those who like her lived
faithful to the trust.
While it is true that there is a va
cant chair in these several homes that
she made glad with her presence, yet
we know that the parting is temporary
and the meeting will be eternal
The monuments that commemorate
her life, are erected in the hearts
of those who were near and dear to her
and are built of her loving words and
deeds of kindness. Let us strive to
emulate the principles her beautiful
Christian character eXemplified and
while we live exercise those virtues
which will tend most to bless and ele-
vate mankind-to scatter along life's
pathway flowers of love which will
soften sorrow and give hope to the
tired spirit. To the sorrowing ones
would say
Weep no that her tolls are over,
Weep not that her race is run,
God grant we may rest as calmly,
When our work, like hers, is done"
Till then we would yield with glad
Our treasure TO him to keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
He giveth His beloved sleep"
A FRIEND.

STOP ALL DRINKING,

article is by Prof. Max Gruber OF the

We quote:
This is no time for the use Of alco-
hol. Not only is the guzzling Of all
alcoholic drinks to be stopped, but
the use of ever small amounts is, as a
rule, an evil.
1T is scientifically established that
even small amounts of alcohol weaken
and paralyze our powers of observa-
ton. memory and judgment, the COM
mand Of our intellect, our Wills and
our reason, u impulses, our brains,

exercise, the endurance of hardships,

DECIDU0US TREES IN LAWNS
Some Reasons Why They Seem e
Thrive Better There Than
Elsewhere.

An observant correspondent writes
to ask why deciduous trees and shrubs
planted in lawns seem to thrive better
than those planted under other condi-
tons, more especially during the sum.
mel months, remarks the Los Angeles
Times.
Our dry summer atmosphere is very
trying on deciduous trees and shrubs
for the eason that such dry air causes
the leaves to transpire faster than
the roots can take up the necessary
moisture. Such conditions during the
hot weather put the trees, figuratively,
in the position Of gasping for breath.
Trees in lawns have the advantage OF
being in a moister atmosphere than
when in soil with a dry surface, and,
therefore, have to labor less and may
breathe" with greater comfort. The
soil moisture in a lawn Is also more
evenly distributed over the entire root
system than could be the case where
water is applied to trees by irrigation,
either by the furrow system of in
basins. Deciduous trees always thrive
best in lawns.

PLANTS MUST BE STUDIED
Successful Culture Is impossible I'm.
less One Thoroughly Understands
Their Characteristics.

Self.education In plant growing can
be carried on in the winter as we'll as
in the summer. It Is interesting to
study the habits and requirements of
any plant, whether it is in season or
not. There r many hardy peren-
malls that can be started in the house,
and, IL the work with them through
the winter is successful, they can be
set out Of doors in the spring. This
includes growing from seed such
plants as rhubarb and asparagus.
There is no end to the plants that may
be thus utilized. Also, a plant started
and successfully brought to maturity
in the home is likely to be harder
than those plants that have been
started in hothouses and afterward
transferred to homes. If one fails
with a plant a lesson should be gained
from the failure in what not to do.
If n tries the growing of a good

are good chances for succeeding with
some Of them, even under adverse con

LOCATING THE NEW HOME

While home building Is not a specu-

the home seeker to consider one or
two points in this connection. For *
ample, could he sell at a profit If,
through business changes or some 9TH
er necessity, he should be obliged to
sell?
1t is a well-known fact that immense
fortunes have been made by people
buying on the great highways of
travel, where the increasing popula-
ton Of some large city, ever pushing
out from the center, pays more and
more for land.

AMERICAS GREATEST FOES.

Had saloons never been discovered,
and were 1t then in my power to por.
tray the effects of such a discovery, all
men, without exception, would declare
1t impossible to conceive Of any more
diabolical plan for the degradation and
destruction of the human race. Our
greatest foes are the manufacturers
and distributors of alcohol. The
stories of injuries done by drink are so
written in the sad life history Of many
OF our greatest men; are so evident
throughout our land in ~squalor, pov.
erty, misery and crime, and replete in
prisons, warehouses; and asylums, as
well as in domestic infelicity, that It
is inconceivable that any intelligent,
rational man can deny the necessity
for strong, united action to rid the
land Of both manufacturer and dis
tributor."-Dr. A. Kelley of Johns Hop
kins Hospital, Baltimore.
