Truth and T0mbStOneS.

When through the quiet fields l go where
side by side sleep high and low, l seldom
see an epitaph which tells the truth or even
half. If we could sift the wheat from chaff
If pious lies no more were read but only bit
ter truth instead, with little LETT to soothe
and please, some stones would tell us facts
like these: Poor Mary Jones lies in this
tomb, she pushed too far heavy broom Her
husband grieves, his sorrow deeper because
he bought no carpet sweeper" In memory
of Hetty Burke, who died of general over
work Her husband finds it much more both

Carries a Concert With Him.
From the Telfair Enterprise.

The bluebrd and the robin are no longer
the real harbingers of spring in this section.
The baby chick has chirped them out of first
place The infant industry of incubating eggs
has grown to enormous proportions in the
last two or three seasons, and if we may be-
lieve our ears it is about twice as great this
time as it ever was before. Almost any day,
in almost any country postoffice, the air has
been filled with the chatter of day-old white
leghorns or barred rocks. Life is no longer
lonesome Cif it ever was) for the rural free
delivery carrier. He carries his concert right
with him. When we add these millions of
birds to the other millions Matched under the
old hens and in the farm incubators we may
be sure that the poultry population of this
country is far greater than it ever was before.
There is no reason, however, to be dis
mayed. Even if prices go down little the
cost of production has also decreased. The
cheaper the spring friers and the fresh eggs
become the greater the consumption, and it
is hard to imagine there will ever be too
many chickens.

CURRENT COMMENT.

New York Telegraph: rs it hot enough
for vou?" is about the most insane express
sion we ever heard, and the man who asks
the question should be kept in chains until
snow comes. Nothing is gained by bothering
about the weather. 1t is one thing we cannot
control: that is the business Of the Lord on
HIGH and He attends to it without reference
TO the wishes of the worms OF the earth wan
dering around looking for GOODNESS. And heat
merely is a matter Of opinion, anyway. Yes
terdav was called hot by the folk OF this COM
munity; it would have been chilly to those
residing at the equator. Think OF Shadrack
and his two mates walking in the fiery FUR
mace to and fro while the smoke and flame
hared UP the fue; they were not overhead
ed: they minded not the fire into which the
tvrant king cast them. They believed they
would not suffer and they did not. One trou-
ble,with Americans is that they eat too much;
meat three times day will make any one
uncomfortable when the mercury is up around
90 degrees This is a good time to cut the
cost OF living Cut meat off your menu Tor
few weeks, reduce your weight if you are
fat wear light clothing and drink two gal
Ions OF water every day Eschew rum and
don't talk about the weather, keep on the
shady side OF the street; don't rum walk at
policemans gait Do all these things and any
thing else that comes into your mind and
YOU will be all right Cool weather will be
here in twelve or thirteen weeks anyway.

SELFISH GREED THE TROUBLE.

Over in the old world the war goes merrily
on in their efforts to preserve peace. To the
observer over on this side OF the Atlantic
there appears, however, to be one necessary
element that is almost entirely lacking. The
welfare of humanity is forgotten. 1t has been
side-tracked in favor of self-interest and
greed 1t is readily conceded that the nations
desire lasting peace, but each wants that
peace on terms that predominant in their own
favor The league of nations is failure for
that reason, and the Genoa conference was
tarred with the same brush. Now at the meet
being held at The Hague, unless history re-
verses ITSELF the same road will be travelled.
Nothing of lasting nature can be accom-
plished in world adjustment until humanity
rriunphs over selfish greed, and that day has
not yet come. This government should speak
softly and keep the powder dry. There are
no wings yet in sight.

CHEAP MONEY FOR FARMERS.

Louisville Courier Journal: Reduction OF in
terest to 5A per cent by the federal land
bank illustrates the improved situation OF
the farmer in the money market Formerly
the farmer paid the highest rate OF interest,
often paying a commission to someone who
procured loan for him, always knowing that
fluctuations of money due to changing bust
ness conditions would not affect him favor
ably. When a farmer can borrow money at
5A per cent and arrange loan on the amor
tization plan he has a chance as business
man which he hadn't until the federal land
bank came to his relief. Under the present
conditions he asks no favors when he Dor
rows money. He gets it at the current price,
as he would buy a plow or pair OF shoes.
His land is gilt-edged security for the loan.
He is not "beholden" to anybody. He is
more Independent than the business man who
does business on borrowed capital. Reduction
of rates on farm loans is novelty Of the
period. A farmer under the new conditions
cannot be made the victim of money lenders.
He need not look upon loan as family
skeleton 1t is no longer a financial burden
greater than that borne by business man
whose capital requirements are the same as
his.

We admire person who adheres strictly
to the truth in everything he says. To tell
nothing but the truth is a good policy to
adopt and live up to, provided we do not
make habit of telling lot OF things just
because they are the truth. Many truthful
things are best left untold A man may have
holes in his socks or a split or patch in his
trousers, or woman may do her own wash
ing or forget to sew buttons on her hus-
bands clothes, but-there is nothing TO be
gained by going around telling everybody
about it.

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT

Democracy rose to the occasion
Yesterday ineOklahoma City. The
platform as finally adopted by the
state convention IS big enough and
broad enough for the most literally
inclined, yet breathing throughout
the time-honored and time-tested
traditions OF the party.
In eliminating, as it did, the tax
exemption plank and the state bank
feature, the convention, we believe,
removed the two most dangerous
elements OF the Shawnee Farmer
Labor platform and the two which
smacked OF socialism.
The comprehensive expression Of
LOYALTY to the masses, the unswerv-
ing affirmation OF Jeffersonian
ideals, the direct pledges to the peo-
pie OF service and consideration are
all that could be asked of the great
party in this state.
The platform as now formulated
is truly Democratic.
The Ardmoreite believes Mr.. Wal
ton. democratic nominee, will ac-
cept the platform as it stands, thus
going before the people Of Okla
homa with a program that is con-
structive and yet which will not at
tempt to destroy established insti-
tutions in Oklahoma.

Tests so far indicate that rubber
makes the best road and in the long
