THE FLIMSIEST OF EXCUSES.

A RICH man Of this city sputcrcd and dodged and
Al whined and declined to contribute small amount OF
money to the Y NJ and Y. w. cause giving as reason
that he bought Liberty bonds
This is disgusting This is the flnSlcN kind OF an ex-
cuse This rich man probably invested 5000 IN Liberty
bonds The government will give him back his money
and will also give him back 5000 in addition for the use
OF the money OF course the rich will have to wait
little while to get back the supplemental money he cannot
expect TO recover it in ten or fifteen minutes But when
he puts in 5000 he knows that he's going to take ont
sl OO0 which is notion OF the craIeS excuse in eX-
stence for failure to respond with subscription to any OF
the patriotic movements claiming the attention OF the
American people.
Shame on the rich man who hides under the bed and
saws he cannot donate money TO Y' the Red
Cross or any others of that class account Of having
bought Liberty bonds When q acquire, Liberty bonds
the procedure is ono of the moncy-making kind The
buying Of Liberty bonds is not donation The who
invests in Liberty bonds i, entitled to credit for patriotism
IN lending money to the government but il the rich man is
as smart as he thinks he h he will promptly cut out this
msy excuse behind which he hides collect his interest
the Liberty bonds and send the money to the committees
having charge Of the patriotic programs.
hgain-if any man says he bought Liberty bonds ant
ha, no money left give movements for the public safe
the cause that he avors The who has money br
owns bonds just as we'll equipped to show lberalit
and patriotism as the man who has real cash Out wit
the bonds; let's have no Of these wild, imsy ex
suses

A WORD FOR THE RETAILER.

WTIILE some retailers might charge excessive profits
on foods, many are earning only legitimate profits
in harmony with the service which they render The
nounccmcnt made by the food administration that retail
poitccrs may have their supplies cut off indicates that
dealers who have charged abnormal profits about to
he apprchcndcd But it will be found that some Of these
high prices originate long before the retail grocer gets
fling at the profit
One dealer has Investigated Inc matter Of certain
breakfast foods, he opened package Of cereal product
and found that the contents represented value the
state OF about cents, Yet the pretty package is sold
to the consumer for 20 cents
OF course the cost Of manufacture is considerable the
there too great difference between the cost Of the raw
by the consumer.
People will have fancy breakfast foods; these products
taste good tho genius Of the manufacturer attends to
that il you please Meanwhile the old fashioned hominy
sells at prices far below that Of some of the fancy package
foods which manufactured Of the grain that Is
used to make the humble hominy
The food administration expects 10 license the manu-
iacturer Of foods This process to determine JUS, who
gets profits, and will show Just what is equitable profit
for maker jobbcr and retailer Perhaps it Mill be found
that the retailer is getting profit much below the per
ccnage Of gain rcapcd by the manufacturer Of some Of the
food products that in daily consumption. We think
the retailer is to blame for only small part Of this irr
tating thing that designate the high cost of living
McacsS days and whcaess days in this country mcar

our food with foreign friends, those friends will pcril

BARRING THE WORD XMAS"

DRIOR to the holidays Of 1910 the word Xmas appeared
in many advertisements in newspapers of Americas
largest cities. Possibly the word crept advertisements
In Oklahoma City. Let us hope that the word will not be
used this year.
Why Xmas when "Chri,tmas" is meant Can
any give reason' OF course there may be times when
is desired to crowd word into small space in the
papers This may have invited some OF the ad writers to
the word of four letters instead of the OF nine let
ters If the word christmas" will go in the newspaper
space offered the writers OF advertisement Of that nature
will do well to omit it and not try to find disappointing
substitute
The writers OF advertisements in Oklahoma City are
viewed unusually re,ourociu and ,sllul We cannot
believe that they any end by using the Objectionable
word Xmas" Let's drop it this year and for all time
Our local advertising club is invited to consider this
matter This club is strong organization It is composed
of young men who leaders in art and commerce Let
them bar the word "Nmas" Let them go a step further
and issue plea to ad writer's all over the land t., stick to
| that magnificent word CHRISTMAS"

SURPRISING Mr.. MUCK.

WHEN the police commissioners OF Baltimore forbade
the Boston symphony orchestra from appearing at a
theater in that city Of Muck the leader having
refused to play The Star Spauglcd Banner at concert IN
Providence r. L. they gave the reason thar the sup
preston was IN the interest Of public safety. The stand
taken by the officials assured the safety Of that town,
since the appearance Of the uuparotc orchestra leader
would have prccptaed large sized riot IN the city that
is located so near the scene where Francis Scott Key com
posed the national anthem
The place for the leader, Muck IS Berlin There IS no
place for him in this country The time has arrived for
every person in the United States TO define his position
he is not for this government he should be deported
The patience Of the American people has been exhausted
Wasted food in the United State, mean, starved babies
