SWEAR OFF AND SWEAR AGAIN!
Swcii r oft?
Sure and tlnii swear it your foot
tslips.
Every day in llu year ia u good day
to swear off.
On tin' whole we think more of
every day resolutions- than we do of
Jcw Year's resolutions. The fact is
you'll probably have to renew 'em
every day if yon keep 'em.
No, you won't make a resolution bo
cause you're afraid you can't keep it'.'
Well, peiT.'U us to say that you are
the limit. If you feel (hat way ubout
it, you ouglii to be bored lor t lie fool
ish bug that, is KiiawiiiK on a viial
part, of your brain. Now, do you sup
pose for a moment that yon would ev
er learn to skate if you were nfri'id
to go on the Ice? l'o you suppose
that Columbus would ever have
touched the shores of a new conti
nent if he had been afraid to venture
out on unknown seas? Come to fig
ure it out, did anybody who was
afraid to try it ever accomplish any
worthy achievement?
"Notions venture, nolliiiiK Rain,'1
is a true saying and worthy of ac
ceptation. The men who do things
in this mundane sphere are men who
lesolve ml resolve auuln, unabashed
by failure and ever rc-idy lo resolve
and. to ,lry again..
Wherefore, make your resolution
today if you didn't do it yesterday or
the day before, make another tomor
row and two more the next day and
then soak them all down with a migh
ty resolution to keep the whole
bunch.
Swear off your meanness, whatever
it may be immoderate cussin', pro
fane imbibing of bad licker, and all
other unprofitable practices, back
biting, hating your neighbor, grouch
in', growling, knocking, and
While you are swearing off, Uu't
forget to swear on a lot of good ones.
Resolve that the year I'M:' shall be
i'tiv -h year yon have ever known
that will go a long way toward mak
ing it bo. "The fault, dear Itrtitus,

and to take more out or the dividends
of real pleasure in work and living.

THE COST OF THE AGRICULTUR
AL SCHOOLS.
A I'aytie county farmer who owns
Hit) acres of land .-.ssessed at $l,,"()0
Willi Jiersoual property makes the
statement that, his laxes were $18. fit.
of which $!i.00 is for state purposes.
This $!U)o pays the man's share of
all of the expenses of -Ihe slate gov
ernment, including all of die state
schools and Institutions ol every sort,
lie has calculated Ihe tax Imposed up
on him for Ihe support of the six
district agricultural schools II. is now
proposed to abolish and he finds that
be is paying nearly an cents a year
on his fl.r.OO worth of property, for
Ihe support of insliluUons that give
value at 'the present time lo farm
lands in Oklahoma and nom' out a
promise of greater things In (he fu
ture Tor the industry of agriculture
in this state. The six district agricul
tural schools cost ihe owner of $1,
."() worth of property a little less
than (I cents each, and yet there are
demagogues iiithis slate who appeal
to the ignorance and prejudice of
some people lo abolish these schools
as a means of economy, and for the
reduction of taxes. The average tax
payer would scarcely know the dif
ference in his lax bill Ihis year if all
of the educational Institutions were
abandoned. The cheapest thing wo
have iu Oklahuina Is education, and
the greatest possession of the slate
next lo her natural resources is the
foundation of a school sys'tem suffi
ciently broad to mako education here
a greater factor in the advance of civ
ilization than It has been in any oth
er American commonweal! h.
We have heard much recently of
progressives and reactionaries. The
reactionary in national politics is not
at the present time very popular in
any part of 'the United States. Ho is
considered in league with powerful
financial interests, seeking lo con
I vol the government for personal ad
vantage. The reactionary in Oklaho
ma is at 'Dim present time directing
his iictivitji.s lo undermining; Hie foun
dation of Oklahoma's cducati'mal sys-1
t in . And of Ihe Iwo, Hie reoelien. '
aiy in Washington who seeks to play
into the hands of powerful interests
and I ho reactionary in Oklahoma who
would deprive the people of this state
of th" means of development in intel
ligence, morality and material pros
perity is tli- greater enemy to the
people's welfare.--Knid News.
o
AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW.
The Tut lie Telegram takes an opti
mistic view of the outlook iu Crauy
county, cdiioralii-.es as follows:
"Precipitation for the past, (wo
weeks has exceeded any time within
ihe las three years. Rain and snow
have kept the surface of the ground
covered a greater portion of the time
for the past, two weeks. For the first
lime in three years, we now have a
thorough moisture t the denlh of
about eight feel. !
"We have suffered for three long j
years
lor want of a good season. The
m!nt ll.f l no Ij'tif renel;'!'" q
tr.c
depth of more than a few inches.
"Now, that we have a deep and I
I lorough moisture, a good wheat ami '
oat crop is aiMired fur next spring. A
winter season is the necessary re
quirement iu Oklahoma, for a huge
crop, and never has (here been a
lime within Ihe history of our great
slate that prospects were more prom
ising for the future crop year. j
"No one lias ever disputed the fact j
that tin- soil here is the best that cau !
he found, and when we have a fajr j
season We aiways make a bumper
crop in every line. Our soil is adapt
ed to the growth of all kinds of crops,
cotton, broom corn, vegetables, cane,
fruit, and in fact no crop ever, fails
here when we lone a season.
"It is conceded that our soil will
hold moisture longer than any other
country, and with th spring rains,
and occasional summer rains lliat aie
due us for (he coming yar. it nromis-1
es next Icir lo ha the beat ciup tr
that we have ever had."
We strongly suspect Dial Teddy
would llarkis it if the nomination
were banded him on a silver platter,
but we don't bulieve he'll have a
chance to get it that
the propaganda, of
way, in spite of
the Chickashu
Roosevelt club. .
To its friends and patrons the Kx
prcss extends its sincere thanks for
their generous support during I lie
past year and on this New Y jar's
day renews lis resolution and prom
ise to give them the very best in
Ihe shop during (no coming year.
EXPRESS PACKAGETTES.
(Dy E. S.)
If a man makes money on n deal
It is an investment, otherwise it is
a speculation.
The few minutes added lo Hie day
by Old Sol's early rising Is helping
out wonderfully.
Why Is it that, a man will wal'
until Ihe snow is falling before be
orders his coal?
Many a man marries a woman 'o
escape loneliness and then joins a
club to escape the woman.
We have observed that no mat' el
bow lazy a woman may he, her lazi
ness seldom extends to her tong js
We have observed that the average
couple who apply for a marriage per
mit have the opinion that they ate
Ihe most important people in t.
world.
Now, along comes a new fashioned
mother who declares that the old
fashioned child's prayer "Now I lay
h.e (.own lo Sleep" is loo long for
her children.
.More elusive I ban the soap I hat
has fallen In the bath tub are' the
ways of the seasoned flirt. And by
the way flirting is a habit that often
marriage does not cura.

Aids to Fricassee.
The Indispensable "aids" to a good
fricassee, or slew, especially If it be
a fowl, are Ihe following: For onn
fowl, one quart boiling water, three
sprays of parsley, a bay leaf, a stick
or two of celery, two iillces onion, a
carrot, and seasoning of salt and pep
per to lasle. Given these, slowly
cooked, and you have n delicious dish
which may be served with the follow
ing sauce if it is lo be eaten on any
extra occasion. Cook together two
ounces each, butler and flour, without
allowing it lo brown. Add slowly a
pint of the liquor, and boil ten min
utes. Add the yolk of an egg beat
en with a spoonful of cream and a
soueP7,n of lemon .juice. When hot,
pour over the chicken, and serve at
once.
"Dtrn'ts" for Ironing.
Don't test the iron liy holding up to
the face; serious burns have resulted
from this practice.
Don't put the irons directly on the
coals. Nor, after honing, should they
be left on the stove to cool; this
makes them rough.
Don't iron with the light behind
you; the rays should strike directly
on the work.
Don't have iron too hot; it will
scorch, or cause "blisters." Don't have
it too cold or it will stick, and the
edges of the linen will turn yellow.
