THE DAILY MIRACLE.
Rv Strickland Gillian.


He's out with the dawn on his rubber
tired wheel.
Or his slkate-and-soap-b 'scootmo-
bile.r
He takes the corners with hendish
whoop,
Like circus cyclists who loop the loop.
He's wholly callous to fear Of cars
That hurtle along like shooting stars
He seems to snatch at the slightest
chance,
And leads my heart prodigious dancel
And yet at dusk, when he staggers
home,
And we 'reune" in the evenings gloam,
We find that his legs and arms are still
Intact, and yield TO his boyish wilt
We find his head on his shoulders tight,
Although from dawn till the fall Of
night
He's braved a thousand and many more
OF dangers that boys have braved be-
forei
Then when he has supped and is put
away,
At the end OF an average boyhood day,
We hold an invoice to make quite sure
Each part Of his body is still secure.
And, finding his parts are all intact
His safety really honest fact
We marvel: 1T seems he's as good as
new,
But how on earth did the lad pull
through"

BERT SIMPSONS MESSAGE TO ARDMORE PEOPLE

.B. A. Simpson one Of the biggest oil
operators in this section of the state
has returned from visit TO eastern
cities. When asked II he had mess
age for Oklahoma people MIR. Simpson
said: "Ardlnore people do not know
how happy they ought 10 be that they
live in the best state In the union. and
In the best town in that state, No one
In this country Is entitled TO grumble.
The depression has never affected
this country ~ II has Others"
Mr.. Simpson said he saw many hun.
dreds OF men line up around the offices
Of the evening papers to watch the
classified columns for "a job Of work.
He learned that in many localities
where there was no market for farm
products that farmers are being ra-
toned meal and bacon and molasses
somewhat like old time slaves were ra-
toned and there does not seem to be
any relief until new crop IL placed
on the market. Mr.. Simpson says labor
must be contented. railways must solve
their rate questions and commerce
must find markets abroad before the
world gets back 10 normalcy and Just
when that will be no one knows. 49,,
The one message that Mr.. Simpson
brings home Is one TO arouse gratitude
that conditions here are ~ good and
to encourage every fellow 10 do just
rs he i doing now--work and not
grlmble, earn and spend and divide
and be generous and help others and
stay cheerful aud do something for
your city or your community each
day.

INDICATIONS ARE THAT BOYS
WHO WORE KHAKI ARE NOT
PLEASED WITH THE NEW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER

Relative TO the action taken by the
American Legion on the appointment
Of John Appleby as federal enforce
ment officer, II. r. Fell, commander
Of Oklahoma department, stated that
the legions interest in Applebys ae-
tions started back In March of the
present year. when the 100000 ap.
preparation bill for the disabled sol
diers of the state was defeated in
the house.
AT a meeting OF the executive
committee Of the Legion. April ."
Commander Fell said. Legion men
who were at the state capital when
the 100000 bill was voted on, stated
that prior TO the voting of the bill
members Of the house had told them
that everything looked favorable for
It's passage, Then Appleby entered
the house. What he said to the mem
bers no one knows. but ON vote, the
bill was defeated.
1T Is very strange that men who
spoke for the appropriation, voted
against IL.
"A Legion man heard MIR Applcby
make this remark: Well. It was a
hard fight, but We won our victory.
II was then. at the meeting April
g. that resolutions We're passed con-
demning Appleby's actions. At the
recent meeting OF the post command
ers at Shawnee, practically the same
resolutions were adopted. We request.
ed that Applcby be not appointed to
any position of trust This We re.
spectfully presented to Senator Har-
reid. inasmuoh as We thought that
senator Harreld would have arge
part In the appointments. However,
as you know. Appleby was appointed.
There Is no doubt In the minds OF
the Legion men that the $500 600
measure was defeated through Apple
by's activities,
THE Legion Is not content TO let
the matter drop and at the present
time a thorough investigation Is under
way OF Appleby's record during the
war; and his actions concerning mat
ters pertaining To soldiers"
