SUGAR AS AN OBJECT LESSON.

SHORTAGE of the sugar supply in this city Is TO cause
considerable inconvenience citizens for some days
weeks Indications point to sugar famine for
short period II is well that there should be exhaustion
Of the sugar supply in this city and in some other cities
While there will be no suffering, unless on the part OF
babes the patience of families will be Soey tried 1t will
be the finest kind Of an object lesson We will be bcought
to realization of what it to he denied some OF the
uxures that we have been accustomed to get by merely
using the telephone.
The shortage OF sugar will remind us OF conditions in
helpless Belgium in starving Poland in Armenia, where
highways are strewn with the dead bodies OF women and
babies who perished on OF having nothing to eat
Let the housewife in Oklahoma City pause TO think Of
the result IT, with the shortage absence OF sugar also
had fats flour meat and only partial ratons Of
the palmer things which barely sustain the body Then
we'll begin comprehend the situation in those bghied
nations OF the old world where hunger brings the death
rattle into the throats Of hundreds of thousands Of human
beings who not beligerents in the war
This exhaustion of the sugar supply teaches object
lesson--TO THINK OF THE OTHER FELLOW-to de
termne that we will economic in the Of foods that
will have supply that send to the sections OF
Europe that are stricken with famine where and

THE TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.

TT is an awful pest-the little typographical error 1t
creeps in the wrong places Editors have trying mo-
mens when they attempt to explain. But we have the
typographical with and it will he in evidence as
long as the printing business exists.
Over at Seminole newspaper printed few kind re-
marks about OF the candidates for governor Luther
Harrison editor OF the paper claims that the types
spoosble for statement which has conveyed different
meaning than intended
Luther Harrison wrote few lines about public man
who is believed to have gubernatorial ambitions This is
what the editor wrote
'1nasmuch as he has been talked positively more than
all others"
One innocent word omitted The printer left out
the word BEEN This made the sentence read this way
"lnasmuch he has talked positively more than all
others"
The deadly typographical error reeps in when least
expected famous singer entertained an audience This
is what printed about the concert:
Grows flocked to hear her" OF course the editor
wrote crowds" and not crows"
Up In Nebraska editor had nervous prostration in
trying to offer explanation to the uanspositon OF
tiny comma poor little bit of type that never meant any
harm TO any Here is what the reporter sent to the
printing department.
Two school teachers came to town with two young
men and, when they left the young men got drunk"
But the comma went rambling along toward the right
making the personal item read this way:
Two school teachers came to town with two young
men and when they left the young men, got drunk
Careful printers are, will turn up, always o.
course, where least wanted When a person makes al
in speech he finds it quite easy slide out of th
by claiming that his language understood
But after the words get into cold type that kind of AT
excuse doesn't get very far Perhaps some day wzart
will turn up and invent "pposcopc" or some other won
derul instrument which will prevent typographical errors
