HOT OFF THE BAT

The fool who cannot stand prosper
ity is still in evidence.
If somebody "gets your goat" may
be all they want is the glands.
You will never get anywhere trav-
cling the line Of least resistance.
The shipyard men got hundred
times more than the soldiers did.
Even radium can't cure chronic
kicker.
Russia, Poland, Mexico and hell are
all good places-to keep away from.
Political pills do not seem to cure
they just cause another pain.
If we die to beat the n. C. L. game
the undertaker's bill is still to face.

COUNTY MEDICAL CLINIC
ITO Cure is the Voice of the Past; to
Prevent the Divine Whisper of
the Present"


"Every person realizes that any
machine in constant use should have
supervision at regular intervals. No
farmer tries to run his machinery
without having it overhauled occas-
ionally. A motorist does not wait for
his automobile to break down before
having necessary changes or repairs
made.
Then why should people wait until
they are driven by distressing symp-
, toms before consulting a physician? !?
There are many diseases that begin
slowly and insidiously. Periodical
physical examinations will afford an
opportunity for the recognition of an
abnormal condition. Upon recogniz-
ing the early beginning of disease
measures can be promptly taken to
check it.
tuberculosis, cancer, Bright's di-
sease, disease of the heart and circu-
lation, intestinal diseases, and others
more or less chronic in character, can
be recognized early.
A free consulting clinic will be held
in Mo. Valley at High School building
from 1000 a. m. until 500 p. M,
Monday, August End by the Harrison
County Medical Association and the
American Red Cross. Any resident
of the county is welcome to attend.

A whole lot is being heard in these
days about the advance in wages of
first this class of workmen and then
that. and considerable sympathy is
being expressed for the "white col
lar" workers. Likewise, we hear a
lot about how the cost Of living is
gradually creeping up and up, en-
quilting the poor laboring man and
tho "slave" Of the white collar.
Strikes, threats of strikes and ssvaca-
tions" Of all sorts are constantly being
aired in the press, while wage in
creases Of every kind have ceased
! to be novelty. Yet, with all this in
the air, and all the talk and trouble
and worry, every one seems to have
forgotten one poor individual, and not
one has ever expressed any sorrow for
his troubles nor worried over how the
increased cost of living may have af-
fected him. No tears have been shed
for him, no editorials printed, no SYM
pathy expressed. Indeed no, not a
bit-waft minute, we will mention
just one person who has wept with
this individual and wondered just
what was going to be done, and that
sole person who expressed any SYM
jathy because of conditions that have
been and are existing is the better
half, she who is commonly known as
the wife, Of that individual. Not one
person other than she-no, not one
has ever expressed any sympathy, or
in fact even thought much about the
matter.
1t was only the other day that my
attention was brought to this matter
and then fastened to the editor Of
The Inland Printer, and told him
about the thing. He was just as
much surprised as I, and then he in
sisted that ! take some space and tell
all about it, just as one paper told
about the troubles of the postman
whose muddy feet ofttimes spoil the
appearance of the front porch, and
whose coming brings such bad tidings
along about the first of the month.
The one person forgotten, disregar-
ded, and who has been the outcast. is
the proprietor of a printing office.
What about the employers salary?
What should he be drawing right now
as living wage, to enable him to
keep the wolf from the door and also
give his devoted and long suffering
wife enough so she can feed him once
IN while? The profits of the pres
dent Of a corporation, or the general
manager of a large concern, or corpo-
ration or anything of that kind does
not interest US, but what is of interest
IS the amount real onest-to-good-
ness proprietor of a printing office
should be drawing as fair wage
not salary, just wage-right now in
view of conditions and wages paid
workmen.-R. T. Porte, in Inland
Printer.

Ten Commandments for Good Roads
1. Thou shalt have no other roads
before thee except highways, broad
level and permanent.
2. Thou shalt not spend thy peo-
pies money in building highways un-
til thou hast secured deed and title
to the right-of-way.
8. Thou shalt remember always
that the shortest distance between
two points is a straight line, and
build thy highways accordingly.
a. Thou shalt not build culverts
and bridges far above the grade Of
the roadway, for if thou dost. when
the multitudes hump against them
they will bemoan thy lack Of intelli-
gence, and curse thee.
s. Thou shalt not build roads OF
gravel and thus waste the substance
of thy people. Road bond issues are
not thy heritage only, but the heri.
tage of future generations. and il
thou waste it on temporary construc.
ton thine own children will rise ur
under the burden of debt and call thee
stupid and without vision.
Thou shalt mark thy high.
ways plain and often, SO that the
wayfarer thereon, though a fool
shall find his way.
z. Thou shalt not make the turns
in thy highways right angle turr
thereby endangering the lives Of thy
people and wasting their tires ant
gasoline.
8. Thou shalt avoid the deadly
railroad crossing in the construction
of the highways, as menace to thy
people and their children.
9. Thou shalt give always supper,
and sustenance to the good roads or.
ganizations Of thy country, for they
are thy benefactors.
10. Thou shalt vote always 70,
road bond issues and cause thy
neighbor to do likewise. for only b,
SO doing can highways be built fol
thy comfort.

though his work has taken him away
a good deal.-Observer.

TELLS STORY OF
CHISHOLM TRAIL
Noted FrOntierSman, Now.
Nearing His 10th Birth
day, Talks EntertainingIy
of Early Days on Plains.

FOrth worth, Tex, NOV. Ia
Capt, Henry Speaks. the frontiers
man who many years ago blazed
the way for millions of Texas and
Oklahoma longhorns between the
southwestern ranges and Kansas,
is nearing his seventy ninth birth
day in Calera. Bryan county, Okla
homa. Footprints of this pioneer
herd were beaten into the historic
Chisholm trail, tho origin of which
until now, has been a mystery.
Ranchmen and cowboys, espe-
oially those who preceded the rail
roads upon the plains CT Texas,
have long since disputed various
claims regarding the oris.l of the
Chisholm trail--now the right-of-
way of the Santa Fe through okla
homa and much of Texas, Rut the
story from captain Speaks clears
the mystery and determines it's his
tory.
Though John Chisholm, trap
per, made the trail with his wag-
ons all the way from oklahoma
City to Kansas City, Captain
Speaks, following later with herd
of cattle, was the first to utilize
and lengthen it. -Four cowboys &C
companied Speaks on this trip. one
of whom survives and now lives at
Centraliu, Mo.
Chisholm's trail became the San
Ia Fe trail Of the southwest. over
it trod longhorns from all of Texas
and most of oklahoma, seeking the

eous became this trail that the
Santa Fe railroad parallePd it from
Kansas into north Texas

His wagons were heavy with furs
for the winter had been a protita-

north from the Canadian river at
the point where Oklahoma city
now stands and reached the Santa
ZEE trail up in Kansas, thence to
Kansas City.
A. few days after Chisholm and
his wagons had started north
