Friday, September 26, 1913 A Georgia man shot himself while holding the picture of a woman in the other hand. Some pictures will make a man do most anything it seems.

There are men in the world of so little importance that they have not a single enemy. A man who has no enemies, has no friends either, for a man can not have one without the other. May the Lord bless our It is a fact that there--ore many teachers in our public schools who do not tak a news paper and do not therefore keep Tip with the current events that every teacher should know. Many teachers fall shoii of v. hat they should do to such an extent that they do not even take their own'local" paper.

A teacher who really is one that puts value on the knowledge of current Signal. A movement on foot in-'this county, which deserves the hearty endorsement, of every one is the Boys and Girl's Farm Club work. The exhibits of these youngsters at the county fair last week, when compared with the othep agricultural exhibits, made us suspect that, at their tender age, they can already "show 'Dad' a few things' and certainly point to a better day on the farms, When they have taken the reins, and conduct every thing on such an enlightened and systematic basis. Congressman Wm, H. Murray is out with a circular etter in which he attacks Senator Gore for the appointment of A.

E. Patterson to the position of Rog ister of the Treasury, in order he says, "that the people of Oklahoma may know, without the least doubt. Mho is responsible for the negro's appointment." However the good people of Oklahoma not see it in the light of a kind-hearted'and gen erous favor, done for their ben efit. They are too very famil iar with the fact that the Con gressman has an axe to grind On the other hand, the method he has selected is a rather dan gerdus one, for an attack on Senator Gore will be' nothing less than a step on the toes of a large majority of the people the state, who and who have a right to believe that T. Gore "is the right man in the right place." Nor will these charges of such men as Senator Vardaman and Congressman Murray, who have sought so diligently to enlarge this sec ondary affair, ever serve to de ter their admiration for so cap able a man.

oOo A petition is being circulated thru the state to refer the cap ital appropriation bill, or to hold another state election on the capital question. The peo pie of this state have twice voted on this subject, at a min imum cost of $105,000.00 each time, to the taxpayers of the state, and in each election, ex their desire to have the capital located at Oklahome City. In.view of the fact tha this appropriation will provide the means for going ahead with the work of building of a capi tal without any increase of tax at on, we fail to see' where any good purpose can be served by tying matter up further and enforcing- an additional delay The people of this state are tired of this agitation, and it is indeed time to stop this scrap ping over this question, and.a allowing one section to put the whole state to an expense because that one section may advance its own selfish interests What we need is united effort for the upbuilding of this whole state and developing her un limited resources and opportun ities. Itis natural-: and just for each city to want good things for itself, but let them go after them thru their, own.resources and stop the ceaseless growl be cause another town has something better. Many letters expressing grati tud'e over the Department's stand in! extending for a period of one year the deferred pay incuts on lands in the domain of the Five Civilized tribes have been received in Washington from the settlers affected.

All members of the Oklahoma dele galion worked diligently to obtain the extension of the payments, inasmuch as forced collection meant financial ruin for hundreds of land purchasers. MAIL ORDER HOUSED ADYER TISE. The mailorder the very nature of the case, must draw business from the entire country. To do this it and its business must be well known throughout the country, There is one big mail house whose name and place of bus iness, and nearest branch house are known to the whole nation. The number of people "not fa miliar with them is a negligible quantity.

And it is pretty well known in foreign countries. How has it achieved this wonderful familiarity 7 Thrugh advertising. Every year this big concern issues its general catalogue, a book two inches thick and wei ghing several pounds. It is filled with illustrations, descriptions and very allur almost every article man, woman or child uses or plays with. Millions of these big books are printed, and they are put into every farm home in the country, and into thousands of homes in the towns an smaller cities.

They are sent through the mail, and distributed by hand. In millions of homes they are carefully pre served, an ever present remind er of the bargains the big house offers. In addition to the bigcatalp gue, millions of smaller de partment catalogues are issued and distributed. Circulars and forifi letters are sent out by the ons. Half and full and even double-page advertisements are run in papers and magazines of wide circulation.

The result of all of this advertising is that they get the business, get it from everywhere, get business that the lo cal small-town merchants be ieve they ought to get They get it through advertising, and the' small-Town merchanT will big, careful scale to get" It back and hold it. BAPTIST HERE. 'resent Association Dissolved. The Longtown Baptist Association met with the Baptist church of Eufaula Sunday and 13th, 4th and 15th. The meeting was in 'piany respects one of the greatest in the history of the association.

It was decided to disolve the 'esent organization as two new associations are being formed from the old one. One to )e known as Haskell county and the other as Mcintosh Co.
