There used TO be time when men
preferred the doll type of woman, but
that period has passed, or, rather
there are SO few men with these pref

hold her husband, and the average
man. realizing Ills, looks for AFFAIR
amount Of brains in The woman he
selects to be his wife, OF course, there
will always be husbands who prefer
to have all the brains ia the matrimon-
ial partnership, who look upon their
wives as playthings, TO be excluded
from all the real interests and real
issues of life. Mental attraction plays
as big a part us physical attraction

County Agent Cooper has mes
sage for the farmers Of Grady county
and it is one which he wishes to state
clearly. 1t is essential that the Okla
hcma farmer raise something to eat
this year, Each farmer should raise
beans and peas and have his own hogs,
not OILY for his home use but to sup
ply his neighbor. Oklahoma cannot
depend on the north for anything this
year but on the other hand will have
to supply the north which will send
its supplies TO the allies, we will
haVo to raise our own wheat and food
stu.gs here" he said, "for the crops in
tha north will nearly all be confiscated
for the shipment to Europe. We shall
have to supply not only our own people
but those of the north who are forced
to give up what they raise. Every. far
mer in Grady county should raise ore
acre Of sweet potatoes, and half acre
each Of beans and peas Even II
there is a, surplus they will get good
prices for them for they are bringing

Much Of the corn has been replant-
ed in the county Corn which is plant
ed now will yield as well as that which
was planted earlier and which has
stunted.
Every farmer in the county should
raise good crop of corn but should
not rely wholly upon that. The good
corn crop last year is going to ruin
many farmer this year for he will
rely on corn alone. Every man should
raise ten acres Of kaffir corn. Corn

THE FELLOW TO FIT THE JOB.
Editor: Under selectiYe drafting,
the president can take a farm boy
and put him in the army ranks and
a city boy and put him on the farm,
raising war food, can't he?-A Boy.

Yes. Under recently enacted and
the proposed legislation, the presi-
dent is given control of all the coun-
try's resources, including its man
power of every description. Modern
warfare has demonstrated the vital
importance of centralized control
and systematic organization in the
potato field as well as on the BATTLE
field, and so, Pres. Wilson is not only
commander-in-chief of our army and
navy, but is also to be comander-in-
chief of all the necessaries for army
and navy, and he will use our youth
Of service. age and capacity as he sees
fit. He can put a city boy into the
potato trenches on a farm, or a farm
boy into the war trenches on a battle
front, if he pleases, when the plan of
'selective drafting goes into opera
ton. And some such changes in vO-
cation and environment would be
fine, in peace as well as war.
Folks ought to pull together more,
rather than each one pulling for him
self exclusively. If, for spell, the

latter as a dude, the paupeT as a mill
iOnaire and the latter as a paUper,
the distiller as a drunkaTd and the
latter as a distiller, the preacher as
a chronic sinner and vice versa, and
so on, folks would surely better I'M
derstand each others labOrs, tempta-

environment. This would mean
more observation-disclosures, more pa
thence, more true charity and strong
er brotherhood. 1t would thin out
the ranks of the habitUal critics,
faUlt-fnders and knockers. To put
yourself in the other fellows shoes
is to better understand him to know
your own self better
Of course, we do not think that
the president will put many city boys
at farm work. The principle under
lying the selective draft is to get
every fellow into the war job for
which he is best fitted. The city boy,
as a rule, is not the equal Of the
country boy at raising wheat, corn,
beans and potatoes, but he may be
his equal at miscellaneous fighting,
quite likely a bit his superior One
of Mr.. Wilson's difficulties. is going to
be to convince boys, and men, too,
that there is just as much glory and
patriotism in shouldering a hoe as in
shouldering a musket. The boy be-
hind the gun is vital to the cause,
but the boy behind that boy, with
grub to give, is Of just as high i'm
pOrtance. Martial glory is no longer
confined to those who cut Threats or
themselves are cut. There's posi-
bility of patriotic service and heroism
on every arabic acre in these United
States. There may be no uniform in
it, no flag flying over it, no noise Of
powder about it, but it's there just
the same.
