OFFICIOUS jim REED

WOODROW WILSON in a letter to former Gov
ernor Lon Stephens OF Missouri styles James A.
Reed a marplot. nrrplot readers is one who by
ofcious interference illustrates some plan. We be-
ieve that Mr.. Reed has been dignfed by the title
The fact that he refused to comment on the Wilson
letter would indicate that his egotism has been tick
led by the word.
For James A. Reed is an egotist. This admission
from Mr.. Wilson that Reed by his interference helped
Illustrate the league OF nations plan is more sop to
the vanity OF the Missouri g, or II Woodrow
Wilson had called him ineffective and incapable
Senator Reed would have replied with a bitter at
tack on the former president.
But the word marpot to one OF Reeds calibre Is
music TO the ears. 1t true thai Wilson has placed
him in the proper category but We can think OF less
euphonious yet more vigorous words in the Ian
guage that might be applied to the senator.
With Wilson trust that the democrats oi
Missouri will clean house and that man who i.
more in keeping with the spirit OF democracy will be
chosen TO take his place.

OPPORTUNITY KEEPS KNOCKING

NEWFOUNDLAND seal hunters for generations
have wasted most OF their tune in the actual
location OF seal herds. 1t was like spending an hour
looking for berry bush tha; could be picked

This appealed TO the Imagination of Alan s. But

He contracted to locate the seal herds at l0c

It's humbug that opportunity knocks once a

mans front gate but she usually has to be dragged
to the door by constant watcher.

This matter OF seizing opportunity OF being pune

careful and attentive to detail
There are some men who may ride in a glorious

not one mite OF attention to detail Oklahoma has
seen many OF them. The history of the oil game is
replete with stories OF their plungng Yet there are
few OF them that long survive They rise for time

go down before who are more careful OF detail

examination OF himself for something is not IN his

BertOnB BraleyS Daily Poem
THE GAMBLER


The boys who. play the ponies,
The lads who buck the wheel,
The men who rig The market
In railroads. mines or steel
May seem like reckless gamblers
And yet their ways are tame
Compared to all the chances of
The Farmers daring game
He CANDLES with the sunshine,
He bets upon the rain,
He shoves his stack across the board
With all to lose or gain;
Against hail, frost and tempest
He cody lays his odds
While from the daylight to the dark
He piows and tlls the clods.
He bets his time and labor,
His everlasting toll
Against the locust and the worm
That make his crops their spoil;
Each year he risks his fortune
His strength and thought as well
Upon a shifting market
Which no man may foretell.
Through all his life he plunges.
A gambler unafraid,
His bets with nature and with man
Upon the board are laid;
Upon the very wheel Of fate
His wages bold IRE hurled
The greatest gambler Of them all
Who feeds hungry world.

APPRECIATION is IN SOUL

ART, particularly music is the best preventive of
crime among the young. says Otto II. Kahn,
New York banker.
His idea is that beautiful and inspiring things are
"sure fire" uplfers. And the uplift need not be
hghbrow.
The occupant Of gallery scat a, a concert who
paid 2sc for may be far richer for his evening than
the blase and indifferent woman at the Met
ropolitan opera
KAhns theory is sound. as far as it goes. Unfor-
tunately, appreciation Of music and art is born in
the soul and cannot be planted like sweet peas and
cabbages.

whoever it is that steals chick
ems, milks COWS and robs pan

nightly, has eluded all traps and
spread CONSERVATION among the
population of this citys small
neighborhood.
Several. months ago some boys
reported that despite the cold a
nude human covered with hair,
fled at their approach. That has
given rise to the fear it may be a
wild man or maniac.
The nightly prowler stays COIL
cealed during the daytime and
every effort to trace his hiding
place has failed. One night he
will rob the chicken roosts in the
north of Garrison and milk the
COWS of some farmer in the south
of Garrison. The following day
he is as apt to confne his thiev-
cry to the east of the town.
