It looks like the Japs are go-
ing to win.
The weed proposition is here
in town and country too.
. Egotism is not a rare jewel
by any means; we've all got a
good stock of it in trade.
Parker will be nominated on
firat ballot—the Weatherford
Herald will please take crow.
When you meet one of these
fellows that's eternally boosting
himself, as a general rule, there
ain't mnch in him.
It looks like Parker is
going to be nominated on lirst
ballot in the National Conven-
tion.
Sometimes a fellow will get
lonesome, the stations oft times
are a long ways apart, neither
is it all sunshine and fun—but
(J 1 * ■ L '
if you will just stick to the
trail through thick arid thin
you will win the prize. The
preachers say that it is the
easiest to do right—but that's
not our experience; it always
seemed to us that it was a heap
easier to do wrong than to do
right—but the results or the
premium on right doing is
what we should ever have in
view, ,
. •• '
The cotton choppers are
whistling, the frogs are holler-
ing, the flowers are blooming,
the lark has flew up to meet
the sun, the quails are singing
"Bob White, is your wheat
ripe," the politicians are hus-
tling and the county candi-
dates are rustling. The plow-
boy ia between the plow
bandies from early morn until
dewey eve, hollering, "Whoa,
gee, haw, Pete and the lying
fishermen are with us. Teddy
has whipped his party in-
to line and Parker the Silent
will oapture the palm of vic-
tory on July the 6th. Japan
is licking Russia, the picnic
season is on and the ice cream
girl is in the zenith of her glory
and for all these blessiugs we
say, thank God.
P. A. Martin, editor of the
Graham Leader is our kind of
a man; brother Martin has been
a strong Hearst man all the
while, but has come to the con-
clusion that Parker is the man
of the hour, and just like a
good fellow is going to sit down
and eat his orow and look
pleasant. We admire that
kind of a spirit in a man; of
course we knew all the time,
brother Martin, that you were
betting on the wrong colt, and
we knew that your air castles
would fall to the ground—you
have eaten your crow and been
•o nice about it, we will forgive
yon all the hard things that
yon have said about Parker;
now hop in'the band wagon,
P. A., and help us whoop 'em
up and the country will be
Mfed.
Shinplastered Aristocracy.
The Shinplastered Aristocra-
cy is a class of people who
do business in tips world on
the reputation of their ances-
tors; as a rule they never do
anything morally, spiritually,
or financially, yet to hear them
tell it their pedigrees are with-
out a missing link in the chain
that goes clear back to the he-
roes that were executors of
great deeds and architects of
vast fortunes. We once work-
ed with a man on a railroad
dump, who claimed that he
had an uncle on the supreme
bench of hjs native state and
his elder brother was Attorney
General; he was a great stick-
ler for honor and blood—but
with it all, he was the biggest
dead beat ort the works. No,
the penitentaries are full of
men who were reared in christ-
ian homes—h—11 is crowded
with men who had praying
mothers. The lunatic asylums
are teeming with the relatives
of statesmen, philosophers and
war generals. It always makes
us tired to hear onie of these
shinplastered aristocrats going
around asking for something
on the reputation of their kin-
folks. We admire a man that
lays oil' his own corn rows,'
plants his own corn, and makes
his own tater hil^s and strives
to do it better than his daddy
did, and if he don't lie's a scrub.
We had a sweetheart once who
was as fair as a lilly, and as
beautiful as a poet's dream,
and oh! she had such a lovely
pedigree. It was love at lirst
sight (with us) and looked like
we were going to hitch up in
spite of fate—but when she
called on us for an abstract of
our pedigree we couldn't trace
it any further back than our
great granddaddy, who was a
full-blooded Irishman, and was
foreman on a railroad. That
settled it, our love dream faded
and she wedded a thorough-
bred. We met the couple in
after years, not in the forum,
nor in the social whirl—but in-
stead it was away out in the
rural district. He was laying
off corn ground with a yoke of
oxen and she was planting the
corn. That is where w$ have
all got to start from, at the
stump. We have got to clear
our own fields, and build our
own palaces, and feather our
own nest. If we would occupy
places of trust and give to pos-
terity an honorable name, we
must cut and carve the stones
for the foundation with our own
hands.
The lirst bale of cotton in
Texas has been marketed and
brought the sum of 21 cents
per pound. How does that
strike you for war time prices*

The honest man in the world
is the man who lives right.
To do right in all things makes
a man bold and fearless. The
hardest man to whip is the man
that lives a pure chean life.
The route along the paths of
right are never crowded.
Every town should have a
purpose, and every man should
move together for the accom-
plishment of that purpose; if
that purpose is to kill the
town, the quicker you do it,
the better, and if it is for the
upbuilding of the town, the
quicker it is done the better.
Climb up high if you would
get the best of everything.
The man that lives for him-
self alone, needs an imposing
gravemonument to perpetuate j
his memory.
•" ' ' I
"Knock and it shall be open-
ed, seek and ye shall iind."j
This is a biblical quotation and
applies, to spiritual things—
but it can be applied to the
natural things of life as well.
The man that don't seek a 11"l'
the things of this life and seek
without ceasing don't usually
lind very much, and after he
lilitis it he should batter down
the doors and walk in and
make-himself master of every
situation.
Put On your thinking cap
boys and think out e*ery prob-
lem that looms up before you
that you don't understand.
Don't shirk it and say it ain't
worth your while; it won't only
add to your stock of knowledge
but it,will develop your brain,
broaden your mental horizon
and equip you for the hard
fought battles that are yet to
be won. There's nothing that
pays a larger dividend on the
investment than a brain well
stored with useful knowledge.
There are many things, though
insignificant to the youthful
mind—but ah, how important
they are in the structure of hu-
man knowledge, it may be a
little thing now, but in after
years it may prove a bludgeon
to combat and down your ad
versaries.

Lost opportunities are the
regrets of every one .who has
an ambition to get up out of
the valley of failures. It's the
regret of everyone's life that
they failed jo embrace the op-
portunities that have knocked
at their door. Oh, if we could
just call back the moments,
the hours and the days that we
have spent in idleness, how
precious they would be, and
how differently we would use
them. When we sit down and
begin to count and ponder over
the many opportunities that
we have let go by, the many
subjects and sciences that we
have failed to master, it ap-
palls us. Idleness, idleness,
man's greatest curse. If there
was one wish in the world
above another, we would say:
Father Time, give tis back the
years that we have spent in
idleness.
