Just Listen Now.
Say ]. Pluv'us, stay thy hand,
Have a heart, don't drown the land;
Let the soil dry out bit
If you want to make a hit.
ST Simp says he looks for a wet
season if it keeps on raining regu-
larly
And you will find another reason
why oklahoma is a fine place to live
if you will slip out annd take look
at the wild flowers in the fields and
pastures.
If a man doesn't become a hard
surface roads booster after getting
stuck in the mud few times, there's
no hope for him
We gather from the remarks of Mr..
Frank Simonds that the world would
have been absolutely safe for dem
ocracy if he had written the peace
treaty. Too bad that he was not
given the job
Uncle Hi says he wouldn't mind
Ma going visitin' every year or two
if she didn't want lot of new
things for the house every time she
comes back.
However, we hope J. Pluvius won't
insist upon carrying his play so farI
that we have to go into court and
enjoin him.
One reasonable inference to bel
drawn from the recent election is
that Grady county folks don't really
want a new court house. At any
rate, they're not going to start a riot
to get one.
Furthermore, as a rule man can
afford to concede his wife's conten-
tions in all purely theoretical mat
ters-it doesn't cost anything and
tends to promote domestic harmony. |
Having disposed of a pair of cleo
tions and the Victory loan campaign,
our usually peaceful population can
now settle down to swatting the early
flies for a short spell
AS we view the matter, the peace |
conference is wasting lot of time
trying to figure out good way to
give Herr Bill Hohenzollern what's
due him If they will turn him over
to Judge Moore's or Judge Bunnell's
court, we1l guarantee that his case
will be handled to the Satisfaction of
the whole crowd.

This is the first time in his
tory that provision has been
made by the United States for
the education Of its soldiers.

sonny's seIfishness.


It was sons birthday, and his
mother had told him to invite his lit
tie friends for the afternoon. Then
she set to work and made cakes and
jellies and all sorts of goodies.
The hands of the clock crept
around to tea time at last, and son,
eyeing the laden table, said:
"Can l start now?"
mo. of course not!" said his moth
er. "You must wait till your friends
come"
Mother" ne said, al didn't ask
them to come. l thought it would be
Nnicer to have it quite exclusive. -

of welcome and the girl breathed a
sigh of relief and thankfulness. This
feeling was heightened by the knowl-
edge that Mr.. Mortimer had been
working on her side during the
strange adventure in the country. IN
stead of being the beast She imagined,
he had been doing his best to help
her.
As the girl considered these ques
lions to herself, she wondered IL her
feeling toward her employer Was
something more than mere friendship.
T,id she love MI H Montague NORTH

her head Jane flushed and turned her
face from the man by her side. They
were almost into the city and The

The greatly increased price OF
land in the middle states is begin
ming to cause some uneasiness a.
mong Those who have the interests
of the farmers at heart. 1t is said
that these prices are made by specu-
lators and that the production of
land would not justify the invest
ment. That same story used TO be
told in this locality when land was
selling around here for $50 per acre.
1t has more than doubled that price
and there are parties selling out
because they believe land will de-
preclate in value here. When it has
doubled its present price there will
be those who will realize that their
"hindsight sight is greater than
their foresight"
