Most all of the Singleton were
doing business in Midland Satur-

Although the season is quite
well advanced, haying in many To-
calities seems just to be getting
a nice start owing to the scarcity
of help and much work which the
good crops have made necessary.
Heard in a hotel not far away a
few days ago: The maid was
something of Stacker, and the
mistress bore with her patiently
at first, but on the third day she
placed a very unclean dinner on
the table before one of the Bon
ton guests and patience broke
loose: Really, Mary, you might
at least see that the plates are
clean" We'll, num-" Mary re-
piled, Il am guilty of them thumb
marks, but them dried fruit and
egg stains was there afore | came.

Horse buyers from Oklahoma

Grain threshing has now advanc-

crop is assured. "Oh, the tender
foot is coming, he is holding down
his claim and this wild and woody
country will be civilized and tame.
Well all be pumpkin rollers, there
will be no cattle kings, not cow
boy on his broncho with his jing-

windy cattle ranges there will be
no beef to kill, when the railroad
climbs up every hill. All the dol
lars that | counted for my bank
account and booze, it's cinch |
stand to loose. Just you wait the
compensation wont have any little
lack, wait until the bowling bliz-
zard gets it's work in on the shack
and the red hot sun of summer, is
rolling up the corn, and the tend
erfoot is wishing that he never
had been born. He'll go back to
wife's relation with a wiser, sad
regret, have it in for the locator
loading him when it was wet.
What is that you say, its raining,
great black clouds across the sky,
Gee I'm going to country where
its either wet or dry"
1t is no easy matter for a man
who is all wrong to find anything
that is all right.

Now that we have women suff-

like the following almost any time:
What's all this talk about Hard
ing and Cox" asked bright little
woman of her husband over in OF
tumwa few days ago. Well my
dear, the people want Harding
why don't they get him them
Well, it depends on the convention
and fall election, you know" What
is the use of the convention or ell
ecetion if you can't get what you
want?" Well, blest if know, but
it has to be done that way. If
the women had the doing of it
and they wanted Harding they
would just say, here Mr.. Harding,
take it and that would end all
this nonsense. When we elected a
presidnt of our sewing society, last
year, the rules wouldn't allow us
TO give it to Mrs. Ezra Roughneck
but we just said it was either Mrs.
Roughneck or no sewing society,
and Mrs. Roughneck it was. Why
