NAMES HIS PET AvERsI0NS
Physician Pretty Well Covers Every
thing in Making the Following
Fervent Prayer.

Doctors, it appears, do sometimes re-
sort to prayer, according to the Medi-
cal Times. But, since such communica-
tons are usually strictly confidential
in character they are seldom recorded
(here below, at least,) although they
undoubtedly express the innermost
warnings of the supplicants soul. A
certain Doctor Jacobson has recently,
and openly, prayed to be delivered
from the following things:
Health insurance; from deadbeats;
from the neurasthenic who keeps a
diary; from the birth-control crank
and other professional sociologists;
from the writer's of unneeded text
books; from drug fiends; from the
young married woman who is not
strong enough to bear a child; from
obese pigs who won't diet as direct
ed; and from might calls. Also, from
fool legislation; from food cranks who
tell us how to live for ten days on
S1.1O; from soclalistic health boards
from half-baked specialists; from New
Thoughtists; from seekers after false
certificates of illness; from moribund
journals, third-rate journals, and freak
sex journals.

which in the course of time will rival
Hutchinson, and will be strong con-
tender for supremacy in this section.
Liberal is the logical location for
such city, as it is the center of some
of the best territory in the entire
southwest. What has made Hutchin-
son what it is today is needed here
F, railroads.
With a direct route to the Gulf
this would be the most logical loca-
tion in the state for great terminal
elevators, big -four mills, packing
houses, wholesale produce houses.
The cattle on our ranges could be
/, dressed and manufactured right
here, giving us the benefit Of every
, thing there is in it.
We could have business colleges
here, providing educational advan-
tages close to home, and the many
business institutions that would To-
cate here would provide positions for
the young people who prefer bust
ness career.
These things are all within reason.
All that is necessary is the building of
this north and south road. Should it
pass thru this section it will be the
fore-runner of others at later date.
This section will have railroads as
time goes on, and the town that gets
them now will be in position to get
3 them at a later date. If we build a
city and improve the surrounding
country, settle up all the vacant lands
with the class of farmers who do
things there is not one of us but
who will be individually benefited,
whether the road comes within hail
ing distance or is twenty miles from
us.
Some may say that if the COM
pany wants to build this road they will
build it whether they receive aid or
not. The promoters tell us they posi-
lively will not do it. They have 9TH
er propositions to receive aid and If
we turn them down there are others
who are anxious to take them up.
Railroads do not always build thru
territory which refuses to give aid.
When the Frisco was builded west
from Enid, Woodward wanted the
road. Woodward was the logical
place for the road to strike, so Wood
ward turned down bond issue-and
the road went to Award. Had the
town given them the requested aid
they would have had the line today
and the taxes that the road paid
would have reimbursed them for the
bonds and interest. The loss to the
town was also loss to the county, fol

Two Freaks Of Nature.

Two contrasting freaks Of nature
are the Island of Fire and the Lake
of Snow. The Island Of Fire is called
the Home of Hot Devils. 1t is sit
uated in the midst of large lake Of
boiling mud in the Island of Java.
The steam and gases which arise
from the sticky mud form them
selves into bubbles, attaining diam
eter of five or six feet, and sail high
up in the air like balloons, carried
hither and thither by the wind and
finally exploding with loud crash.
The biggest snow lake Is seen from
the summit of Hlspar pass, in the
Karakoram range. 1t is more than
800 square miles in area. In Switzer-
land the sea Of ice might better be
called the sea Of SNOW, as the sur
face is broken up by solar heat
which makes minute assuring in
the ice, giving it the appearance of
snow.

FIRST TO BUILD GOOD ROADS
MeAdam, by His Invention and Work,
Did Much to Advance the Pros
perity Of England.

The inventor of macadamized roads
was John LoudOn McAdam and few
inventors ever gave their name more
currency than he did by his good roads
invention. He was born In Scotland In
1855 and came. pretty near becoming
an American, for he came to New
York in ITO and remained there in
the employ of an uncle Is years. Re-
turning to England in 1888 he took up
the study Of road-making and from
that time on it was his life work. He
was the father of good roads in Eng
land. Macaulay, in his history Of
England, has chapter on the bad
roads Of that period in which he says,
ION the best lines of communication
the ruts were deep, the descents were
precipitous and the way often such as
it was hardly possible to distinguish.
1t happened, almost every day, that
coaches stuck fast, until team of cat
tie could be procured from some neigh
boring farm to tug them out Of the
Slough" McAdam's views In regard
to road-making, especially in regard to
the use of broken stone, were finally
adopted by authorities and In 1927
he was appointed surveyor general of
roads in Great Britain. Parliament
voted him $4,000 for his services and
offered him knighthood and title, but
he declined them. He died in 1896 In
his eighty-frst year. bi0grapher
says: "McAdam's efforts largely con-
tributed 10 produce that network of

There was an old man Of Thessaly
And he was wondrous wise.
He'd take dose of medicine
OF almost any size.
But though he emptied bottles
Enough to load train,
And pill and powder boxes,
That didn't stop his pain.
One day he found doctor
Who didn't trust in dope;
One osteopathic treatment
Began to give him hope.
And when he'd had dozen
He threw his cane away
And likewise all his bottles
For he was cured to stay.

Women Of Ancient Babylon.

To some extent women's rights were
recognized in Babylon. Indeed, in
some respects, they were acknowledged
as mems equals. They entered into
business partnerships, they could lend
and borrow, they could bequeath their

the great temples of Babylon, the
priests and priestesses stood on the
same level. The marriage laws of the

He looked down the road hopefully,
but whether hopeful they would re-
turn, or wouldn't, the twins could not
have told. At any rate, he seemed
quite impatient until they were ready
to start, and then, very gayly, the
three wended their way out the pretty
country road toward the creek and
Blackbird lane. They had a good time !;
the twins always did insist that no one

dear old Duckie, but In her heart Carol
registered a solemn VOW to have 1t out

had no opportunity that night. Fairy
and Gene telephoned that they would
not be home for dinner, and the pro-
fessor had gone, and the twins were
sleeping soundly, when Fairy crept
softly up the stairs.

was consclentiously bringing order out

thing Fairy always did after a perfect

was with genuine reproach In her voice
that she spoke at last, after standing

as she deftly twirled long ribbons
about her fingers and then laid them in
methodical piles in separate corners of
the drawers.
