BRAIN STORMS
By tkc Bees
Since the Boss has been sick for a
part of the week and is now in Dall-
as trying to recuperate and play
golf, the entire weight of the respon-
sibility for this great journal has
been shifted to the somewhat in-
competent shoulders of his eldest lia-
bility. And if anyone happens to
think it is easy to sell advertising
this time of year just let him come
around and try it—on a commission
basis. '
—o—
The worst part of it all is that
the Boss didn’t find time to stir up
a Brain Storm column and the whole
task of developing mental tornadoes
is left to a younger and much less
experienced hand.
—o—
One of these high powered sky pi-
lots up in New York said something
about A1 Smith the other day that
was just a bit uncomplimentary, and
A1 has proceeded to call his hand.
They haven’t done anything worth
mentioning yet, but they are- both
getting plenty of publicity, and that
is probably what they are after.

NATIONAL POULTRY SHOW
AT ARDMORE AUG. 14-18
-O-
(Special to The Enterprise)
ARDMORE, Okla., August 9.—
With less than one week remain-
ing before the opening date of the
International Poultry show, to be
held here August 14-18 in conjunc-
tion with the national convention of
the American Poultry association,
arrangements for the entertainment
of 5000 or more guests have been
completed.
Meantime entries for the show it-
self continue to pour in daily as the
date for final enlistment approaches.
W. C. Tallant, show manager, esti-
mates that more than 3000 brds
have already been entered and that
the final check will show a larger
number than this.
The entry list already includes
every breed and type of fowl and
likewise boasts a number of exceed-
ingly rare birds, seldom if ever be-
fore exhibited at an American show.
Appreciating the number of en-
tries to be cared for at the show,
the committee will begin this week
arranging the commodious buildings
in Fair park, where the show will Jae
held, to accommodate the birds. The
loving cups, medals and other awards
and trophies to be given the suc-
cessful contenders are arriving ‘ and
seven have been placed on display.
An unusual feature of the show is
the high spirit of cooperation being
accorded by other towns in this part
of Oklahoma towards the success of
the event.
Newlyweds are constantly .ad-
vised to make their honeymoons per-
petual, but no one seems to take into
account . the expense of such an
undertaking.
Now that the first primary is
over and a large percent of the
candidates have been given the ver-
dict those in the runoff campaigns
have unlimbered their guns and
have started an intensive campaign
for the nominations.
The tiqie is fast approaching for
the boys to trot out their collegiate torium.

various institutions of higher educa- hogs have been shipped from Lynn

SAILING OUT OF THE PAST
—o— ,
In this age of the modernistic,
the, impressionistic, the futuristic,
when novelty is the password to
popularity, it is good to read such
news items as one which recently
came from Cornwall. This story
tells of Great Britian’s oldest sea-
going ship, a 52-ton ketch which
was built in 1811 and is just cele-
brating her 117th birthday—still
sea-worthy and classed “Al” by
the British Board of Trade. This
gallant little ship was scudding
across the Bay of Biscay with car-
goes of fruit from Spain during the
Napoleonic wax’s, and dodged U-boats
along the Cornish coast. Her master
is Captain Petherick, whose family
have sailed on the ship for four
generations.
This is not a modern story; it!
presents nothing novel or with a!
“kick,” no “cat’s whiskers,” nto
syncopation, nothing “hot.”Though
the press dispatch gives us no pic-
ture of Captain Petherick, he
doubtless wears whiskers, as all
self-respecting old salts should. He
probably would not recognize one
of our present day “pretty babies,”
or even anything so antiquated as
a “red-hot mama.” In all probabil-
ity, if handed a saxophone, he
would fill it with shag for an en-
joyable smoke. Judging from Corn-
ishmen we have known, the good
Captain is doubtless a back number,
hopelessly out of date; but what
a background he has! Of the fourth
generatioix to tread the deck of his
awn ship, to sail the seas—what a
histoi’y that family could tell; what
a part in history, they themselves
have had!
There is a strength which
comes from the years. There are
records of courage, of stern duty
performed, which must be lived up
to or surpassed. There is a pride
in deeds accomplished which holds
men in face of danger, a pride which
is good in soil in which to take root
and grow straight and sturdy.
In our striving for the new,
possibly the better, let us not too
lightly discard the past. From it
we may draw a heritage of strength
of resolution of character—price-
less treasures of the race which
cannot be grown in a day, or even
in a single lifetime.—Southwestern
Ambassador.

NEW POULTRY BUILDING STATE FAIR. OF TEXAS
Dallas—(Special)—Last year the Poultry Department of the State Fair
of Texas had to refuse nearly a thousand entries of really good birds because
the exhibitors had not entered them in time to secure space in the Poultry
Building.
This impelled the Directors of the State Fair to provide a new building
large enough to accommodate all the entries of high-class poulti’y that might
be offered. The building is completed and ready for the opening of the Fair,
October 6.
It is located near the Grand Avenue gate, not a stone's throw from the
east end of the massive Manufacturers’ and Automotive Trades Building and
just a step off of the main avenue which leads from the front gates of the
gi’ounds to the Grandstand.
Superintendent Walter Burton states that the poultry exhibits at the
coming State Fair will be of higher quality than those of any other poultry
show in America. The premium list is now ready for distribution, he states.
