However there's nothing so bad but that it might be ‘wusser’ (that is except me). You see I live a good deal in the past. I like to revert in_mem- ory to the callow, days of my youth when I was breakin’ into ‘sasstety’— and wooing a maideza fair (also’ for fair). I had found the gal 1 wanted, took her to a party and-as everything seemed propitious (the sky being in its proper place, ete.) ! decided to tell her the old old, yet never new, story. I thought her mine for the asking. But she wasn't. _No, in- deedy, for when the day wes over and ended all the play, she heard me through, then turned her back and said Boy! and walked away. I've traveled ‘round the world since then and wooed the muses coy. I’ve earned a living by my pen and been of fame a toy. But never in my brightest dreams nor in my keenest joy could I forget the female spite with which she called me ‘Boy!’ There’s no use of talkin’, I’m agoin’ to quit this-walkin’. I’m goin’ to fly an air plane way up high. How the Angels all will giggle when | do that awful wiggle, when I do the Hoochie Kootchie in the sky. I am willing to give up (for the allies) clothes, food, money, tea, cof- fee, whiskey, tobacco, my tin Lizzie all my poor relations, Chinese- rugs, ingrowing toe nails, corns, bunions, | blisters—Fact is, 1’m willing to give up all of the necessaries except— Life. And yet, when a fellow has giv- | en up all these, what is there left to live for? Guess I'll let the tail go with the hide and give my life too. I never. did believe in half doing any- thing. A very prominent paper wants to know ‘What Heaven is’. 11's very evident the editor knows wiat is. That is, if he has been long in the newspaper biz, My idea cf what Heaven is, is a contented family, a home where sunshine and happiness abide and where mother is. That is what Heaven is to me and also where it is: I notice that the death rate of in-| fants in Germany is on the decrease. | Also that England's death rate is on ‘Hell’ whistle on_Ira-Wiser's_job ‘Monday morning, Wheat made 27 1-2 bushels atfd oats, 50 bushels to the acre. pest, Baker is on the sick list this week, Now is a good time to have your family picture taken while you are all at home. I want your job.. Think the matter over and don’t put it off any longer. , Uncle John Hyatt says he is going up to Washington ang see Wilson and have the war closed for it is causing too much confusion among the women, The 28th is the day set for the women to register, that is all who. want to take part in war af- fairs. H. O. Maxey of Butler, was out to Spruce and got up a club of 10 called the Red Cross. They will fix ban- dages and equipment for the wounded in the war. (Too late for last week.)

Westover brothers fhave cut 300 acres of oats and wheat with their |harvesting tractor with two 8-foot binders. They cut it cleaner, faster and with less expense than with horses. F. B. Collins on route 8 sold his 12 1-2 acre farm to a young widow from Mexico, Mo., for $1850. Mr. Collins is going to try the northern part of Oklahoma. © Jim Welch has his new Ford car in operation. Arch Seelinger, Will Welch's farm | helper, had to quit the oat field Mon- | day morning and take his eyes to an eye doctor in Butler. Uncle Payton Burton sold two suckling mules to Pink Ellington for $200. They are Jim Welch’s stock. W. W.{ Park, on route 5, bought the Virginia school house and has moved it on his farm. Mr. George of Butler is looking for a job with threshers. Those wanting the increase, due to the fact that Germans are very proficient in drop- ping bombs on the school houses. | Mexico has declared war on tie kraut eaters. Much more to the point} Mexico will borrow the coin of the| - realm with which to carry on said | war from your Uncle Sammy, and | yet, if I mistake not (and J think 1] do) Mexico didn't salute the flag either, Not so you could notice it, eh?” A fellow came to me ‘onct’ and said, “I'm Owen Moore.” “Well,” says I, “why in the name of Heinz’s 57 varieties don't you go and pay him? The very fact that your Owen Moore indicates that you are in debt to him. Go my friend and pay ali that thou owest.” He gaped at me} (his eyes and mouth were like those | «fa fish) and said, “For the love of the Allies, man, what is ailin™ you. Wait, man, and listen. It's like this— I’m Owen Moore who went away, owing more than he could pay. Owen Moore came back today owe- ing more—”’ When they hac _ suc- ceeded in bringing me back from deamland he was gone and as i have never seen him since I very strongly suspect that he is still Owen Moore. Get up and hustle, that’s my style. Be a doin’ somethin’ all the while. A bright, sunny face wins many a smile, by jing. The lark is up to meet the sun and dew.

Jackson, Westover and Burris made a trip to Olathe, Kas., to visit Mrs. Emma McCollough, Mr. Wes- tover’s daughter, in Mr. Burris’ car last Sunday. M. H. Meinen says it was not his that was dead. His brother and wife had three boys of war age in the army and two of them were killed and one has never been heard from. The mother wor- ried until she died. The father died 10 days afterwards. They died nat- ural deaths: The report was that they had starved to death, but he says that they had plenty of means. Pink Ellington wants to buy a second hand flax self rake machine.

There will be preaching at the M. E. church next Sunday,-morning and Kansas Burdee Don’t let the birds be happier n you. just sing. A man who makes no mistakes nev- er accomplishes anything nor gets anywhere, while the fellow who makes a mistake gets his pay check, also an invitation to come back no more. So what's the use.

When I went to turn old Daisy in the back pasture last evening I had to climb over the gate and untwist the wire that was holding the gate up from the inside. I never noticed just how much trouble it was to unwire a gate every time you opened it until it got so hot. And I said why not use horse sense and buy one of those No-Sag gates that has good strong hinges and angle Iron Upright pieces, and that stays where you hang them, and never sags, and always swings easy on the hinges. ‘ The No-Sag easy openéd, strong lot and pasture gates is one more of Lomoco aereice: We have. the gates ready made. all you do is to hang them. \ \ LOGAN-MOORE LUMBER CoM July 28, 1917 Logan-Moore Lumber Co. _ Texas, Geo.
