Views of the visiIantss
PLATINUM JEWELRY. Ey Abbie Farwsii Brown ef The
 vieilantss.

zz
 Who would have thought that so small thing as a bit of jewelry might show ohe's iinpattiutism? And yet it is so! Every woman who wears bit of platinum jewelry is defrauding the government of just SC much power for war. Every man who buys a platihiIhi ing the badge Of his carelessness upon her. Every jeweler wfao pefsuades a buyer that platinum is more chic than the gold Of other days is acting con- trary to the nations interests.
 Platinhfn is exceedingly important ih the steel and iron works and in the manufacture of munitions. From it is produced shiphufic acid, used in mak ing high explosives. It is 6fie of the big assets of power; but platinum is scarce, growing scafcer every day. The situation is So serious as to cripple both the university laboratories whose patriotic chemists are working on war problems, af1d the chemical industries which have developed here since war began, to replace German productions. Our country contains no platinum mines, and the supply from the Ural mountains is almost tinobtaihable now 1 in the Russian crisis. Our other great platinum source Colombia, has alse apparently failed us at this jtineture. l The shortage is such that the metal 1 now costs $5s an ounce! But for that very reasen-beeaase it. is doubly precious-sorne minimizing persons de- sire it all the. more to adorn them selves. Think of it! To adorn ones silly selfy> at the expense of ones country's safetyl Surely there is no American woman so selfish, when once she knows the truth. Surely no one desires to be more beautiful at the cost of blood.
 l Jewelry set in platinum Is undeniably rich. But one is not, hope, thinking | about rich effects in dress nowadays. It is no time to court admiration with 1 jewelry. Patriotism Is the only bright 1 particular jewel worth displaying.
 So keen is the anxiety Of the chem ists over the high cost of platinum
 that one world famous scientist has
 sacrificed a beautiful platinum dish presented to him in recognition Of his distinguished services to science. This patriot sold his precious keepsake, tht
 reward of years of faithful research fo1 mankind, in order that the metal i contained might be fashioned into chemists supplies for the further ait
 of his country. Such a memorial wa.
 worth more than jewels.
 Cannot all the women Of America D,
 as self sacrificing as this great man e science?

CONTROLLING OUR SHIPS.

In keeping with the declaration which has been frequently made that the need of the nation is ''shfps, ships and more ships" 1t must be reeog- nized that the action of President Will son in putting the entire foreign trade of this country under the control of the war trade board, involving the liz censing of all exports and the control Of 6tir imports, has been taken for the purpose of securing the best use of the ships which are already available.
 Serious handicaps have been en- eeuntered because of the difficulty in getting ships. War material has piled up in ports and terminals much faster than it has been taken away It has resulted In the clogging of these im- portaiit trade points and the railroads have likewise suffered because of their inability to deliver the goods which have been transported.
 Tnasinuch as the new ships have moi been turned out as yet In sufficient number to take care 6f this situation 1t becomes necessary to use the ships which are possessed to the best ad- vantage and under the new arrange ment they will be utilized for the handling of that which is absolutely necessary and that which is not es- sehtial must 30 as opportunity Is found for trahsporting it. The new
 plan affects all countries although
 greater consideration viii Of neces sity be given to those which are al.
 lied with us in the conduct Of ths war. It is step which has beer forced by conditions but it must bs
 realized that if we are going to obtain an early and victorious peace VI
 must get the best results from oui shipping.

No PEACE FOR soksAEviKi.

Even the bolshevlki must realize, as much as they dislike to, that the days of lighting are by 1e means over. They have told Germany that their part in the war is over but such will not be accepted by that country for it is already making plans and ffiovA ing troops for the purpose Of bringing the bolsheviki completely to their knees and forcing them to sign a peace which will be to the liking of Ger many. Not only has Germany got its eyes upon those provinces which lie just east of that country but it un- ouestionably intends to take posses sion of the important port of Reval on the Baltic coast which is Of vital importance in the defense of Petro- grad.
 But in addition to striking directly at the bolsheviki by such a method, Germany has through the peace which it has negotiated with the UkraifiiaTls shouldered the obligation of support ing those people in their declaration of Independence, and inasmuch as they are already fighting the boishevili troops Germany must, if it is going to receive the benefit in the way of food stuffs from the Ukraine that it has long coveted, push it's soldiers into that province for the assistance o1
 those people in their revolt Thus Germany is going to do it's best te keep the bolsheviki engaged in the great war of nations as well as be. come involved in it's civil strife which with the trouble in Finland, the opposition which is being encountered from the Rumanians and the Pole. makes it evident that the bolsheviiS
 have got to fight or perish and it i. not out of the bounds of reason tha they will do both.

 With such a disclosure. however, and the knowledge that 1t was p6ssi- tie t6 surround / milling operations with greater safety in the past, it is bound to result in greater attention being given to this matter in the fu- ture. It is safety first work which de- serves the deepest consideration and greatest effort afid the very fact that conditions have been shown to bd what they ought not to De should spun all involved to greater realization of personal responsibility.

COAL BY WATER.

Announcement which comes from Washington to the effect that in- creased shipments of coal are to De made from the tidewater supply at Hampton Roads 10 New England by water will be welcome news to this part Of the country, but in view of the fact that so many similar promises have been made in the past it will be necessary to Gre some of 1t de,iv- cred before any great reliance will be placed on 1t. These shipments it is understood are to be in addition tc 800 tons day which are expected tc reach New England by rail.
 This would indicate that after q long time the needs of New England are getting increased attention iii Washington. When those who are trying to get the products of the fac tories in this part of the country which are engaged on war work learned that production is being seri. onsiy hampersd by the lack of fuel il looks very much as if some new in. fiuence was brought to bear upon the situation and steps taken to increase the relief, but when naval colliers were loaned for one trip only for the pur. pose of getting fuel here and have beer obliged to make several it ought tt have been evident that still great CT effort should be made to improv, conditions
 But regardless of what brought abou the change in Washington it is l; common sense move. The logical wa. for New England to get its coal is b, water. That is the method which hal always been used for two thirds 0 An extraordinarily long time to convinc' Washington of the necessity of utiliz Ing water facilities now.

STORIES OF TIE WAR
Shortage of German rorpedoes.

Shortage of German Iorpedoes.
 ICorrespendence of The Associated Press.)
 Shortage of torpedoes Is one of the most serious facts with which the di- rectors Of the German U-boat war are
 now faced. It is a well known and admitted fact that German factories are at present absolutely unable to turn out first-class torpedoes in any, where near sufficient quantities for the needs of the submarines. In fact, the underwater craft are being turn 1 ed out faster than the torpedoes with l to various expedients to keep the sub marines supplied with their chief weapon.
 Germany's fleet of U-boats must
 carry thousands of torpedoes. Thous- ands more must always be ready in
 reserve. In fact the reserve supply ! should be larger today than year ago
 to allow the more frequent calls made upon it. The augmented destroyer
 patrol is responsible for this. They
 have made the submarines use up
 more terpedoes and have caused them
 to return to their base more frequent
 ly for reloading. Al
 Eight may be said to be the aver 1 ago HuAiocT OL toIpSuOcS SdIIAcu III one submarine. The number ranges l from four to twelve, according to the l type of submarine The U-5S which I raided shipping off the Atlantic coast of the United States carried ten. More
 recent types load as many as twelve Mine layers can accommodate two, four
 and six, depending on their size,
 In connection with this shortage Is the interesting fact that all U-boat
 commanders are strictly "rationed" as
 far as their supply of torpedoes is concerned and are not permitted tc
 waste torpedoes on long "chance shots" except under circumstances
 which they must explain in detail as | justifying the expenditure of the precious underwater missiles.

An alleged mad dog has again been Killed in Waterbury after running wild course, incidentally pu1icturing the skin of number of citizens. Those who are. in a position to know say pos- itively that while Waterbury is the cause of the present restrictive orders on dogs in this part of the state that It has paid almost no attention to the law itself and has permitted dogs to run as freely as ever.

a weak or disordered stomach. Are
you one of them? Mrs. M. r. SearI,

perience in the use of these tablets:
II had bad spell with my stomach
about six months ago, and was troub-
led for two or three weeks with gas
and severe pains in the pit of my
stomach. Our druggist advised me
to take Chamberlain's Tablets. |
took a bottle home and the first
dose relieved me wonderfully, and |
kept on taking them until l was
cured" These tablets do not relieve
pain, but after the pain has been re-
lieved may prevent its recurrence.

GIBBS WRITES TO
VOTERS OF COUNTY

TO the voters of Grady county:
In asking the people to support me
for sheriff of our county, / realize
that am asking them to place Sc
rious responsibility in my hands, and
il elected shall so consider 1t, and
will try to make a sheriff for all the
people. My earnest efforts viii be
to give you clean, impartial and
economical administration, and en-
force all laws, without fear or favor,
OF any men or set OF men.
As a man and citizen / stand for
all that good citizenship stands for,
viz: The suppression of crime and
lawlessness; the support and encour-
agement of churches and schools;
and everything that tends to the
moral, mental and physical improve
ment of the people, and elevation of
the character of our boys and girls
| believe that at all times, but es-
pecially now in the stress and strug-
gle of our great war for liberty that
all officers, national, state, county
and municipal, should work together
in perfect harmony for the good of
their country and the people. And
il every officer has just regard for
his good citizenship, there can be
no friction among them.
We all know that Grady has as
good a citizenship as any county in
the state, and that Chickasha, our
county seat, stands at the very head
as to schools, churches and a broad
minded, liberty-living people. And
nowhere in this state for a city of
its size is there as little crime and
lawlessness. | know that there are
violations of the law here that should
be corrected, and if ! am your sher-
If | will undertake to correct them,
and if l fail, the whole people will
know the reason.
The civil processes of our county,
as they pertain to the sheriff's of.
flee, are much greater than the Grim
inal, and I assure the people that
am familiar with that branch of the
work. 1t will not be possible for me
to see all the voters, but to the many
that l will be unable to see, refer
you to the citizens of Ninnekah, Alex,
Bradley and many in Chickasha as
to my character and qualifications.
Thanking everyone for any support
you may give me, am,
Yours very truly,
