this Is done carefully over the entire

METiM E S.

Sometimes | long for lazy isle,
Ten thousand miles from home,
Where the warm sun shines and the
blue skies smile
And the milk-white breakers foam
A coral island, bravely set
Ir the midst OF the Southern sea,
Away from the hurry and noise and
fret
Forever surrounding me,
For l tire of labor and care and
fight,
And ever and ever my thought take
flight
To the island of my dream;
And | fancy browsing the whole day
long
In a hammock that gently swings
Away from the clamorous, toiiing
throng,
Away from the swirl of things
And vet I know in little while,
When the first glad hours were
spent,
I'd sicken and tire OF my lazy isle
And cease to be content.
I'd hear the call of the worlds great
game
The battle with gold and men
And Id sail once more, withea heart
of flame,
Back to the game again

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS.

The meeting OF merchants which vii
be held this evening is matter o
great Importance to Chickasha.
II will be definitely decided whether
Chickasha, like many other progres
siye cities and towns, will get into
the trade getting game with a style
show this spring.
One fact stands out conspicuously
and should be borne in mind from the
start: 1t is useless to attempt to put
on the proposed show unless all the re-
tailers in the city are ready to give
IT their hearty cooperation to make i
a success. A half-hearted effort will
be worse than none at all, for the rea-
son that the price of a "fizzle" in 4
thing of this kind is very high.
Ii anything is to be done, it must
be attended to at once. Let US have
distinct understanding at the start
10 this end It is to be earnestly hoped
that every merchant will be present at
the meeting this evening that the de-
cision reached may represent the
wishes and the concensus of opinion
of all the men who have interests at
stake in the enterprise.
It isn't necessary to have half
dozen or more meetings in order to
determine what we are going to do ana
we can't proceed in that way if we ex
pect to put over the proposition. There
is no time 10 be lost Regardless OF
what action may be taken tonight il
is almost certain that some merchant
tomorrow will say q wasn't here
and I don't know what those fellows
did" Now, don't you be one Of the
number who manifest that little inter
est in matter that requires COM
rlete unity of action upon the part of
the business community Be at the
meeting and have voice in deciding
the question.
Do you want to have the show or are
you opposed to it2 "a you fail to at
tend the meeting you will forfeit your
right to have any SAY" about it. For
once. let us take common counsel and
have unanimity Of sentiment, no mat
ter what course may be decided upon.

Careless Use of
Soap Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully!
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Nest soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much allkall.
This dries the sealp. makes the hair
brittle, and ruins il.
The hest thing for steady use Is just
ordinary mulsihed cocoanut oil (Which
is Turc and greRscleas). and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
