When you get that idea that you are suro has them all beat, scratch It off on anything from linen stationery to ono of tho postcards that come in the back of a cake of Hershey's chocolates and take a chance. "A.

Dear Mr. Mowat: Please enter A. M. In your limerick contest with the above for a starter. I will send you more as soon as the sun begins to shine. This cold weather seems to freeze the poetic colls of my family's brains and we cannot do our best work during this kind of weather. A. M. The Contest.

Some folks may like it And think It is wit. But to me it seems frightfully tame. B. V. D. The fact that many of cur contrib utors to tho contest fail to send their names with their verse has made a new rule soom wise Hereafter in itials only will do. Then when the contest Is over wo will name the win ner in this column and the proud owner may lay claim to his verse and the year's subscription. Habits of Anhlnnders You Know.

A lit tle over five weeks ago he went to San Antonio, Texas, for a month's vacation in an effort to rid himself of an annoying attack of that malady. He returned to the bank last Monday morning, feeling considerably better but by no means well. Friday ho was forced to quit work and go to his home. His condition ! became rapidly worse and resulted in his death Sunday morning. Mr. Cook had lived in Muskogee for twenty years. He was born In Columbus, Ky. His death occurred on the same day of the month as that of his mother, February 11. For tho past six years Mr. Cook had been assistant to the president of the Commercial National Bank. Ho founded what is now the Musko gee Wholesale Oroccry several years ago. He was for several years credit man for the Turner Hardware Com pany. Ho was captain of tho steam boat "City of luskogee." when she was brought down the Mississippi and up the Arkansas river to Muskogee in 1909. He was an active member of the Masonic order and the Elks. For two years he was commissioner of pu.blic safety after Muskogee's new charter went Into effect. You See.

Jndge Watson tells us this is the kind of weather that inspires verse about snow. Judge asked us if we had ever heard his poem about snow and we told him no. He settled down at the typewriter and we walk ed around for a half hour, expecting to get a nice fat poem, only to find out that he was writing a letter to some chicken feed company. After wading across tho street we decided snow poetry could hardly be anything but slush, anyhow. E. T. Staples says the grass Is growing underneath the snow and that warm sunshine and buttercups and daisies will spring up as soon as tho snow stops snowing, and that the chances are the hills will be greener than they over were bo fore.
