Put II, II Was Q Matter
Of Duty.

Ellis Parker Butler. the well-known
humorist, has a story in the American
Magazine in which the main character
says:
"'Well, Jimmy had been with the
Burtons six years and Annie, our
hired girl, had been with us five years.
/ guess everybody thought she hadn't
any other name at all until one eve
ming when Jimmy came over and
knocked at the back door and asked
mother If Miss Dornbacher was home.
She wasn't because she had gone TO
the Evangelical Lutheran church. but
after that Jimmy used TO come over.
and Annie would put two chairs out in
the yard under the apple tree and they
would sit and talk. Or Jimmy would
talk. He would talk and talk and talk,
and every once In while Annie would
say, YES" and, after she learned IL.
"No." So, after couple OF years.
Jimmy began to hold Annie's hand
when he talked TO her. and in couple
OF years more they got engaged. /
guess they liked each other.
"T was In our dining room one day,
looking TO see If Annie had put any
fresh cookies In the jar In the closet,
when ! heard my mother say. "Oh.
Anniel" in the kitchen, as If she was
sorry about something. So then Annie
said:
" i bin sorry TO go away, too. ma'am.
but II is right everybody should get

What Makes Thunder Rumble.

Why does thunder rumble? The
path of n lightning flash through the air
may be several miles in length. All
along this path the sudden expansion
Of the heated Aria true explosion
sets up an atmospheric wave, which
spreads In all directions, and eventual

Since the lightning discharge is almost
instantaneous the sound wave Is pro-
duced at very nearly the same time
along the whole path. But the sound
wave travels slowly through the air.
Its speed is approximately 1000 feet
per second. Thus the sound from the
part of the lightning's path that is
nearest TO us reaches us first, and that
from the other parts of the path after

termittent crashes and booming effects
are due chiefly 10 irregularities in the
shape of the path.-Popular Science

Long ago. In the days before the
Civil war, when great plantations
fiourlshed In the South and many ne
groes were owned by the planters. the
slaves were usually sent out TO work
all day In the fields and given a lunch
TO take along with them for their midi
dry meal. Wishing something hot To
eat. they acquired the habit OF mix
ing batter, generally of cornmeal
and water. with little salt stirred
In, and baking II upon their hoes on
the hot Goals OF fire which they
built. II was the same thing which
the women In their homes cooked on
the hearth before the cabin fire. only,
in the houses, they usually added
about teaspoonful OF butter. lard
or bacon drippings. They used just
enough water 10 moisten the meal, so
that they could spread II out upon
their tins or boards.
Later on, so a Southern woman
says the white people, the plantation
owners, made similar dish, with
variations, and liked II very well.

ARROW COTTON TIE is
NOW IN GENERAL tSE

Ever since cotton has been grown it
has been necessary to use some form
of it with which to bale it. In the
early years when the crops were small.
rope and some form Of iron strips were
used, but with the larger crops and
greater number Of bales the Standard
Arrow Cotton Tie came into universal
use
Some of the mills now within the
Carnegie steel Company were the
pioneers in making the STANDARD Arrow
Cotton Tie-first in iron and later, as
steel was further developed, the steel
lie. Some of these mills have been in
continuous operation for 80 years and
are still making the Standard Arrow
Cotton Tie. The Carnegie steel Com.
pany are very large manufacturers
of Arrow Cotton Ties and for nearly
20 years have been sellers and dis
tributors throughout the cotton belt.
They manufacture what is considered
the best cotton tie and will be pre-
pared this year to offer direct to the
wholesale grocers, cotton seed oil mills,
or whoever handles cotton ties. They
carry stocks at the mills and in certain
warehouses and are prepared to make
prompt deliveries and give the very
hest service.

first woman mayor of a Kansas town
and probably the first woman mayor
IN the world, again is exercising the
right to vote in municipal elections
Mrs. Salter resumed this right in
the primary in Norman.
Argonia was the Kansas town over
whose destinies Mrs. Salter presided
as mayor in 1887. She was elected
for only one term, refusing to be
candidate a second term, and at that
time Kansas town officials held office
for only one year.
Those were the days when bootleg
gers bothered Kansas officials much
or more than they worry Oklahoma law
enforcers now, but they had no foot
hold in Argonia Furthermore they
did not even try To get a foothod dur
ing Mrs. Salter's administration. So
law-abiding was the community that
only two arrests occurred in the entire
year, and these were in arranged
cases TO test the legality of new dray
| license law.
Argonia was a town of about coo
population in those days and has not
