U DOGS ON A DIET.

GONE STORY for the sob squad is that Of { II Russell,
~ county food administrator, that here in Oklahoma City
pet dog, loll in luxury while children go hungry to bed.
There should, Of course, be no hungry children in this land
Of plenty, and there arc flaws in the social scheme which
permits such a condition, but it is a mistake to blame It on
the helpless CANNES. That is about as reasonable as the old
fashioned custom Of charging Providence with caamitieS
which were really due to a lack Of sanitation. No one
should hold the blooded bull terrier, the petted Pomeranian
or the able Airedalc superior to happy childhood, and those
who keep dogs instead Of children would sacrifice their
pets if need he to save the nation from starvation.
On the other hand, it seems wrong, when no such crisis
exits, to spread the inference that IL does. Such an i'm
preston is unfair to the humans as well as the dogs, for
it is encouraging old John X. Gloom, an enemy Of consider
able force when once he gets a ioothold. Live and let
live is a helpful slogan, which may still be applied to chill
dren and even dogs, and possibly all others except the
hateful Huns. However, when lIooycriling is the order
Of the day, it is not right that dogs should lnger in the Lap
Of luxury and fatten in gluttonouS case, For them even
more than humans, there should be a campaign Of con
servation to reduce their waiSt-lines and furnish food tC
table, and this is the time 70 revert TO the simple life Of
woliish ancestors.
Meanwhile, let the proper authorities locate the hungry
children, If such there be, and a generous public will Sc,
that they are fed. The liberal response at Christmas tim,
to pleas for the poor is proof that this is not a hcartless
community. Even Mr.. Hoover has admitted there is food
enough, il only it is properly distributed.

"Saue the Waste and Win the War"
LET BUSINESS MEN AWAKE.

BUSINESS MEN In Oklahoma are properly proud OF
- their state. That assertion is made without fear OF
succe,sful contradiction in this boosting. booming and busy
commonwealth. Therefore, II must he oarslessne's or
throushtle,sness which has caused them, all too many OF
them. TO neglect TO establish war savings stamp agencies as
requested by the government. 1t comes as something OF
shock to those who have watched Oklahoma swing to the
forefront Of many patriotic campaigns, to learn that only
iIoj thrift stamp agencies have been established in the
state when our quota Il, 5000. Most Of these agencies arc
located in pos,ofiices and banks, although quite a number
Of hotel, and express offices are also boosting the baby
bonds.
But that Il not nearly enough, II the campaign Is to
NEE. the success, il deserves, and which the government
needs and expects. Every retail merchant is asked TO be
come an agent, and also other men in any line Of business
where they come in contact with the public. Such business
men a. have neglected this patriotic service should get
busy now. There is work in this war for all to do, and all
should do that work
! Furthermore, merchants can well afford to encourage
this policy Of thrift, even were il not needed to win the
war. Thrifty customers may buy a little less at times, but
they are not the sor, to postpone payment or jump their
bills. In any thrifty community, business is good, and col
lections easy. That is a condition businessmen appreciate,
and they should also appreciate their country enough to
undertake this additional service for its cause. II isn't
much Of q task, when you consider what others are going
against along the western front. Now is the accepted
time, q, the evangelist says, and Oklahoma is no place for
slackers in any line.

MODELLING THE WOMEN.

WOMEN may not view with alarm the statement Of
w David Lubin that it may be necessary to mobilize
American women for farm work However, we warn
them in advance that the lot of a woman in farm labor
won't be anything like the milkmaid in the chorus OF the
"Trip Lightly" company. Except for the hot and heavy job
Of feeding the men who do the work, woman's part in agri-
culture in this country has heretofore been negligible, and
it isn't desirable that she take up the task in ignorance.
The hay is no longer raked in the s~trong-arm manner
Maud Muller applied, and modern methods have lesSencd
other ~drudgery to some extent, but the tiller of the soil
continues to be horny-handed, and much that he picks up
is heavy. The women will do their share of that work
if necessary, but the farm is no place TO go seeking ro-
nance or a soft snap.

HIGH PRICE OF LOW PRESSURE.

IA PNEUMATIC ENGINEER, and who is better fitted
to explain the airy, fairy business of the gas company,
Is authority for the statement that the gas under two ounce
pressure furnishes but one -fourth the heat units of gas UNI
der the normal eight-ounce pressure. Here is occasion for
chilly consumers again to warm themselves with anger when
the feeble CRATE fire has failed to accomplish that end. The
statement means not only failure to get adequate heat
In times Of frentied %frigidity, but paying four times as
much for such as is delivered. If that isn't adding insult
to injury, what is it, And, even admitting the helplessness
Of the gas company to deliver the goods, can't some other
means Of measurement be found for the chilly season,
Instead Of the enthusiastic meter which goes on forever,
like the brook of which the bard sang' We pause for a
few replies.

send Us coal to thaw the plumbing, and we shall give no
further heed to breeIes which arc now benumbing. So

less fire, and we can even stand with grace the s]pringtime
