The average an anal precipitation at Enid for the vine years prior to 19 IS wan 32 1-2 iaehea, but during the season of 1912 autd 1913 this region wan affected by the drought that prevailed through out the west "and middle went -and (he rainfall was only 18 Inches, The serious effect of this drought on the crops suggested the utilisation of (round water for Irrigation, and the director of the Geologic! Bexvey was urgently requested by Gbngrtnaman Morgan tad McGuIre nasi fear W. II. Bcariff. secretary of the Enid Cham ber of Commerce, to have an Invest! fauon made of the ground water prospects In this region. . The report Just Issued Is the result of a brief ex minatlon of the conditions at Knld fcy A. T. Schwenneten, of the Survey staff. It contains a map that shows the distribution, over a part of Gar Bold county, of the Tertiary sands nnd gravels, and those of later origin which are the principal water-bear tng beds of the region.' ' V The ground water supply of these beds, the report states, I replenish ed chiefly by the local rain rait. This PPly ! by no means Inexhaustible, but moderate drafts on It during the comparatively short season In which Irrigation is necessary will be com pensated by the rainfall throughout the year. Pumping can be done at comparatively low cost, and If the ground water which is available is used conservatively and intelligently for irrigation it can be made to add sreatly to the agricultural produc tion of the community. '' ; ' ' " A KICJN OF .MENTAL WEAKNESS There la considerable trtilh in the assertion that extravagance is evid ence of mentsl unbalance. It Is weakness to do a thing Just simply because someone else doe it. nnd that Tart la at the bottom of moot of le extravagance in whlcfc people In dulge. Because someone who can wel afford it has an automobile, or a pleasure yacht, or a span of fine driv ing horses his neighbor srho cannot afford It, must go and do likewise even tf it means going kitavlly into debt. :So in the matter of dress and household living. That some weal thyfamily can afford ass number of luxuries on the table aad the : wife and children wear very costly dresses creates heartburning and dissatisfac tion with some nearby family until they live and dress In the name way. v And what do they get out of Itf Not real satisfaction, for there can be no thing of that feeling with debt piling up and haunting the family like a specter. Not real joy, for it Is im possible to experience ouch when there is the constant reminder that the pace cannot last : The strong, well balanced mind win cause one to live according to his means . without regard to the style of living another may assume. And such a man will get real satis faction, Joy and contentment out of life, and not unlikely in a far great er measure than the other man who lives extravagantly because be can afford it. For even the man of un bounded wealth shows mental unbal ance when he Indulges In all manner of expense simply to gratify his love f display and be the envy of others. AH AH ADYKItTlSlNU MHDIUM . Arthur Brisbane, who Is said to be he most blghly paid newspaper man la the world an whose genius is everywhere noocnlied understood the truth of this statement when he esJdi The local newspaper tn propor tion to Its circulation is, in my opin ion,, infinitely the most rakiable ad vertising medium we hare. The val ue of the country newspaper is baaed i.iyjfeiy upon the tact tnat tne man who reads it looks upon It as a neigh bor and a friend, a personal acquaint ance, and attaches to tiie printed statements and advertisements of the country newspaper far greater Im portanoe than the big city attaches is the statements and advertisements la ths big city newspapers.

LI) IP OIK TOWN There seems to be quite a jealousy among some business men, a disposi tion to try to break down their ad versary in order to build themselves up on their opponent's 'downfall. This petty feeling among rivals in business Is all wrong. The best way to build up a town is to stand by ev ery man In the place, who does " " " ururtui B UJBU IS UUlUg WfH I no not tear mm down.

Here are some interesting statis- tlcs concerning the dead soldiers , of the war: There are 12 national cem eteries, containing 32,179 soldiers. nearly one-half of whom are classi fied as "unknown." Twenty-one of these burial spots contain over 8.000 bodies each, among them the famous cemeteries at Vicksburg and Corinth, In Mississippi. At Salisbury, N. C, out of a total of 12.132, only 97 are known." I If Hlo's Column , 'A Georgia paper published the fol lowing mix-up of an account of a wedding and auction sale: , i ' William Smith, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, and Mius Lucy Anderson were disposed of at public Mr. and Mrs. Leon Hancock of Lake auction on my farm one mile east, in side were in Alliance yesterday. tne presence or seventy guests, in- Hervey C.

Sampson of Ellsworth were iu Al bome of the bride was decorated with .llance yesterday. one sulky rake, one feed grinder and two seta of work harness, and just before the ceremony was pronounced the Mendel tt Son's wedding march was rendered by one milch cow five years old and one Jersey cow and one sheep, who carried a bunch or bridal roses in her hand and was beautiful. She wore one light spring wagon, two crates of apples, three racks of bay and one grindstone of muslin de soi and trimmed with about one hundred bushels of spuds. The bridal couple left yesterday on an extended trip, terms spot cash. Recently a visitor In Wayne from a Nebraska town lifted his nose con temptuously ln referring to his home paper. He said It did not accord ln proportion and quality with the standard of his town. But when told the cost of producing the kind of pa per pictured by his Imagination, his excitement subsided somewhat. A community' usually gets In the way of a newspaper all it pays for and sometimes much more. If It is pub lished where people appreciate the value of advertising and have devel oped the modern habit of using its c umns to sell and buy th'ngs, it can expand by adding latest equip ment and employing help of the high est skllL If people are plugging along at a pace customary In country towns thirty years ago, they can't J expect to have their whims gratited by'a publication"of the highest order. f' Publishers are at fault If thev fall to! make an effort to educate thetr oar- Ishioners up to the standard of buy ing publicity that will make possible a growing institution. The one who groans most over the shortcomings of a paper, la likely to be the one who never advertises because he is far in the rear of the times and does not understand the Importance of adver tising. An editor who Is creeping laxity along tn a rut Is very apt to be sctlng in perfect harmony with his surroundings. Wayne Herald. i ..' LOCAL ITFMA t from KrMitj'N Daily: ; ; D. E.
