For Its Food Values
You Should Buy 1t

An important Comparison
Bread and butter contain all the ele-
ments required to sustain the human
body just as potatoes and meat do.
1t has been scientifically proven that
half as much bread made of Larrabee's
Best Flour, spread with butter, supplies
fully five times as many fats and carbo-
hydrates as meat and potatoes and al
most as much protein.
This flour makes more ioaves to the
sack than any other and is used by all
Audrain County housewives who are
particular regarding their baking.

WHY NOT HAVE TRAFFIC REGULATION

1t has been suggested that some
steps be taken toward regulating traffic
on Douglas Avenue and the suggestion
ia good one. The question il, how
can it be brought about and who will
start the ball rolling?
The parking Of automobiles is among
the things suggested, and il is thought
by some that a provision foe parking
6n the middle of the street. instead Of
along the sides, would be the better
way. This plan is being followed in
many towns, and is proving successful
We have noticed that this plan is fol
lowed at Liberal, Kansas. and are con
WINGED that it must he good one, for
Liberal usually does business along the
proper lines. We don't claim to know
which is the better way. but il the
middle OF the street is the proper thing,
then we say, by all means, let's put the
cars in the middle OF the street. What
do you say2

"HUMILIATINC WOMEN. /"

The Federated Women's Club move
ment is earnestly advocating the ballot
for women. The president writes in
her message to the various clubs; "l
like to think our men are always will
ing to give women credit for much OF
the rapid upbuilding of this new state.
and will not be the last in the Union
to- recognize women's judgment and
capabilities, for do think the men OF
this State believe Oklahoma women
are the equals of any state, and they
will not humiliate us by being the last
women to be granted the privilege of
the ballot
The concurrent resolution now be-
fore the legislature will prove whether
Oklahoma men mean to "humiliate'
their women, or to raise them to the
status OF the negro in citizen ship

TURBANED CITIZENS AND POLITICS.

Must have been interesting in the
Hackensack, New Jersey, court house
when subjects of seven foreign powers
swore allegiance to the American Flag.
0ne of the new citizens was an Orien-
tai wearing a huge green turbsn. He
WAS solemn looking applicant, and
insisted that turbsns were the proper
hesdgesr when taking the oath. After
much protesting he finally consented
T. replace the turban with green
skull cap, and was duly made sover-
eIgn citizen of these United States. He
will be privileged to vote on the ques-
tion OF giving American women the
right OF the ballot when the measure
IL submitted in New jersey. 1t must
afford considerable comfort to New

The county treasurer has started col

The assessed property owner better
consider this official notice, because he

The taxes have been due since Nov

quent on January |. However, as the

Executed by Gen. Scott.

No officers here can recall any such
wholesale execution in the army within
tho memory of the present generation.
The last of its kind was the execution
Of members of the so-called est Pat
rick's battalion" by Gen. Scott in the
Mexican war
Members OF the battalion deserted.
Joined the Mexican forces and later made
their homes in Mexico, marrying native
women. and many OF their descendants
now are found there, natives OF that
country in all respects, but bearing names
quite foreign to tho language they speak.
A largo number Of them were executed
by Gen. Scott at tho battle Of Chepulte-
PEG. and their last glimpse of life was
the sight OF the American flag breaking
out OF the breeze as SCOTS legions
stormed tho ramparts.
The speedy manner in which tho Hous-
ton rioters were tried and executed.
without much publicity, was the subject
OF remark today at the War Department.
The last incident involving rioting among
negro troops was tho celebrated Browns
VILE affair. as the result of which Pres
ident Roosevelt summarily dismissed a
whole battalion from the Army.
