Having but recently lived in the
Oil district of Oklahoma where oil is
the subject of all conversation, we
were in hopes that we might get a
breathing spell and discuss weather,
crops, politics and other subjects. But
we find that it is hard to "get it out
of our system" and since this section
has a severe attack of "oil fever"
which promises to become chronic, we
drift into the subject of oil upon the
slightest provocation.

BENEFITS - DIRECT AND
INDIRECT

One of the greatest factors in the
business world, and one which too
many business men overlook, are the
benefits that come indirectly. Most
OF us fail to see good in the project or
proposition which does not work to
our direct benefit This was brought
very forcibly to our mind through a
little circumstance occurring not a
great while ago. We were a member
Of committee from the Commercial
Club to solicit funds for a carnival,
and in the course of the canvass
called upon lumber dealer. He hes
itated to contribute to the fund on
the ground that carnival would be
OF no benefit to his business, but fin
ally subscribed a sum for the enter
tainment. Less than a year later the
owner of restaurant, who had pros
pered, erected new residence and
the lumber dealer sold a good bill of
lumber. The lumberman has received
the indirect benefit from that carni-
val and other institutions which
caused the restaurant man to pros
per.
Many instance of a similar nature
could be cited. What benefits one
business will help every business in
the town, and each should have
friendly interest in the other. If you
can build for yourself by first build
ing for the other follow, you have
benefited the town doubly.
Let us, as we strive to push Lib
eral still further to the front, think
on these things. If we do we will
build on a solid foundation.

THE DOCTOR
By Sarah Lane


He gave his time to Science cold and
grim.
The lighter joys of life were not for
him.
Good fellowship passed by with jovi-
al sport,
And left him to his test tube and re-
tort.
With men he wore an air reserved
and grave,
Few men to him the hand of friend
ship gave.
In vain did summers call from lake
and rill,
Yet, DER his endless task he Bonded
still.
Yet, for this very work ten thousand s
came,
In after years to bless his very name.
Men walk who, would but for him
would have lain
In helpless beds of feebleness and
pain;
And babes grew up to be their par
ents' pride
Who, but for his help, would have
surely died.
For in the wards where fever grasp
for breath,
He stretched his hand and closed the
door of death.
His work seems hard, his life seems
one of gloom,
But Gods have worked with him in
that room.

EDWARDS

Only the most intimate friends Of
Mrs. A. Edwards knew that she was
sick, so that when it became known
on Saturday morning that she had
died, great was the surprise. She
was a quiet, retiring, Christian lady,
whose devotion to her family was a
leading characteristic. But she is
gone. Another name is stricken from
the ever lessening roll of our older
citizens, and solitary man in the
sunset of life, and lonely home, are
left to attest how sadly they will miss
her. 1t must be SO; these tender hui
man ties cannot be severed without
a pang. Yet in such death there is
no cause for grief. Her work was
done, and we'll done. She was near
ing her golden wedding day, and
wearied with life's duties and cares,
weary of suffering and waiting, she
lay down to rest.
Miss Della Cook was born October
80, 1913, in Johnson county, Indiana.
She was married to A. Edwards, Oc-
tobe 20, 1867, and died December 20,
1916, at their home in Guymon, aged
70 years, / month and 29 days. To
this union eight children were born,
four of whom are living: Mrs. E. \
Twist of Meade, Kansas; Mrs. Nellie
Jones of Pueblo, Colorado; Mrs. Hat
tie FRITZ of Guymon; B. F. Edwards
of layton, Texas. These were all per-
mitted to be present, besides Mr.. Ed
wards sister from Liberal, Kansas.
The funeral was conducted in the
First Baptist church Of Guymon by
the pastor, Rev. A. v. Pendleton. Mrs.
Edwards was member of the Range,

Two classes of men who are the
subjects of many cruel "jibes' are
real estate men and life insurance
agents, yet both are doing a great
work. We are of the opinion that if
all the residents OF Western Kansas

would attribute their success to the

FLOOR WALKER SHOULD
ATTEND THE NOW


Jack Pickford strolled into Fifth
avenue department store the other
day and startled floor walker by an
nouncing that he was looking for a
pair of short trousers. The floor
walker took one appraising glance at
Jack, who was attired rather ultra
ultra, as it were, and led him to the
riding suits department, with a gen.

So the poor bewildered floor walker
escorted him back to the boys de-
partment and looked on in consterna-
ton when Jack actually bought pair

wanted them for forthcoming Fam

Vice President Thomas Riley Mar

tions of the Senate for four years. He
has not thrust himself much into the
public notice. although his quaint say

supply piquant paragraphs for the
newspapers.
But those who follow the national
legislature closely know that Mr..
Marshall has shown marked ability as

ever, that among his important works

saw in the energetic governor "Presiden-

friends and came to the Baltimore Demo-
cratic convention of 1912, with a few
pledged delegates.
That convention developed into q pro-
tracted struggle. Champ Clark had more
than a majority of votes on the tenth

ceived the necessary two-thirds.
With William H. Taft and Theodore
Roosevelt dividing his opponents Mr..
Wilson was easily elected. On his entry
into office he Immediately took up the
question OF changing the tariff and the
Underwood act was the result. The credit
for this should go mostly to Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson believes in personal con-
tact between the people and their Off

going to the Capitol to read his mes
sages to Congress, breaking all prece-
dents in this respect.
The Mexican troubles have engaged a
large share of President Wilson's atten-
