Suggests Wet Platform

The democrats had to crack rid
die at their convention on the booze
question, straddling the delemma by
nominating wet candidate. As
long as the matter has had SO much
discussion I'VE feel at liberty to sug-
gest campaign platform plank
that would span the gap from grape
juice to bourbon. We suggest the
America, who saved the democracy
from the world, favor the enforce
ment of the law, be it wet or dry.
When it was wet we liked our bour-
bon, at a bit a drink and when it
is dry, I'VE get along as best we can I;
standing, however, unalterably op-
posed to whiskey at more than ten
dollars quart, either wet or dry, and
we recommend that all bootleggars
rally round the flag and patriotically
cut the price (wet or dry We be-
lieve that the republican party is to
blame for high cost of booze (wet or
dry) and we democrats solemnly pro-
mise all law abiding citizens that we
will wage a relentless war against all
bootleggars who sell or attempt to
sell law abiding and liberty loving
citizens whiskey (wet or dry for
more than ten dollars quart. We
favor pohibition and are opposed to
whiskey selling for more than ten
dollars a quart.-(Canyon City, Blue

Housewives and Sugar Hoard.
ing

IN spite of a world shortage of
sugar and decrease Of 400,000,00
pounds in domestic production, there
has been used or boarded during the
current year in the United States is
per cent more sugar than in former
years, states the Department Of Agri-
culture, which goes on to suspect
that both housewives and commercial
concerns must be boarding.
These great government depart
ments deal in masses of course.
Statistics are available to them that
are not available to the average news
paper editor, but we are going to take
the bull by the horns and asserveate
that the Department of Agriculture is
wrong when it includes housewives
among the hoarders of sugar.
Certainly, of course, many a house
wife has fifty pounds, or even hun
dred pounds, laid away in the cup
board. But that's not boarding. She
accumulated that 100 pounds from
fear-fear that when canning time
arrived she couldn't get any sugar at
all. Fear that, in a few months per-
haps, she couldn't supply her hus-
band and children with very great
necessity-sugar.
Moreover, it was not uncommon
for woman to buy 100 pounds OF
sugar in the old days, or even bar
rel. 1t was not boarding then, when
the big profiteers didn't have us
throttled. Why is it boarding now?

Germany Must Disarm

1t was the plain purpose of the
Germans when they appeared at the
Spa conference to evade complying
with the disarmament provisions OF
the peace treaty. Under sharp pres
sure fom the Allies they are coming
TO clearer sense of their response
bilities. Afte protesting that the re-
duction OF their forces TO loo, ,O00
would require fifteen months, they
are forced to accept January /, 1921,
as the ultimate limit.
The obligation to reduce the Ger
man army to 100000 was never a
matter to be adjusted according to
the Germans convenience. 1t was
definite and positive condition i'm
posed upon them for reasons of safe
ty. when they deliberately disre-
garded their engagements in this i'm
portant respect it i'll becomes them
to complain that they should be
charged with bad faith. Compulsion
is the answer that they invite.
The German contention that an
army OF 100000 was necessary, and
that it would take at least fifteen
months to bring it down to the size
authorized by the treaty, was based
on the pretext that internal condi-
tions were unsettled and millions Of
rifles and machine guns remained in
the hands of the people. No effort, it
WAS admitted, had been made by the
government to recover the guns car
ried of by soldiers at the end of the
war, no attempt to secure possession
of thousands of machine guns, NOR
tars and cannon and make the proper
disposition of them, as required by
the treaty. Pleading its own weak
ness as an excuse, it confessed that
it had contributed to its weakness
by doing nothing to disarm disor-
derly elements among the people,
says the New York World.
At the instance of the allies, the
German government may find means
to keep faith with them and hope to
regain the confidence of which it
has proved unworthy. If it again vio-
lates the conditions to which it has
newly subscribed, it must submit to
further occupation of German terri
tory, presumably the Ruhr region.
So long as it hesitates over disarma-
ment it will be treated with open
suspicion and be shut out from
friendly intercourse with its neigh
bors. 1t cannot expect to enter
again into normal relations with the
rest Of Europe while inviting accu-
sations of trickery and dishonesty by
its obvious reluctance to comply with
its obligations.

The BubOnic Plague in Amer
lea

Prevention is always better than
cure. II We can prevent the i'll
uom coming cur way, We avoid the
troubles ami expense that comes with
tue cure. And also We avoid the risk
ii disaster that comes with the i'll.
We believe that it is the duty Of
a newspaper TO warn its readers
whenever 1t thinks that an i'll is COM
ng their way inorder that they may
take preventative measures.
Bubonic plague has entered this
country again. Coming from Mexico,
Il has obtained foothold in Pensa-
cola, in New Orleans, in Galveston,
and Houston. We are, therefore,
bounded on the south by the bubonic
plague.
The great distributor of this black
death is the rat, You can Quaran-
tine against humans, against cattle
and live stock in general. But you
cant quarantine the living rat. You
are only safe when he is dead. The
health department of one OF the Gulf
cities attacked has caught large
number of rats and examined their
dead bodies mieroscopically and sci
1t was found that 40 per
cent of them carried the germs of
bubonic; "a very high percentage"
said the health officer.
The United States Government es-
Inmates that there is one rat per per-
son in this country. That means
one hundred and ten million rats.
If not controlled, it would be easy
for these rodents to carry the bubonic
plague to every corner of America.
What's the answer? Plainly, a war
to the death in every community, in
every house. on every farm against
rats. The situation is so grave that
no time should be lost. Let US get
together in this town, in this COM
and plan for a relentless
drive that shall take in every foot
of ground.
Prevent the plague from coming
to this neighborhood. Let's get busy,

She wore dainty dress of pink organdie with picture hat of the same material. l. Philip Platten of Cleveland acted as groomsman for MT. Gordon.

OLD SHEETS UTILIZED FOR
 PROTECTORS

A sheet that is all worn out can still be. utilized by making it into good garment protector. Sew 1t up the sides and bottom if necessary into the form of a bag and make a wide hem at the, top. Through this run a tape or cord. The garment is then hung on a coat hanger and put into the bag, the cords tied about the top of the garment or hanger. and thus protects the garment from dust during the summer months.
 With the price of cotton as high as it is it is a wise woman who saves all of her husbands shirts after they are too badly worn to be of further use as shirts. These shirts make very pretty little tea or sewing aprons.
 Take the bottom part of the back, cut off half way. Use the fronts for ruffle to go all of the way around and make it about six inches wide What good parts that are left of the sleeves will make the belt and strings

PROMISED NOT
 TO MAKE LOVE TO OTHER WOMEN

New York, Aug. 21.-When Beverly Towles, president of the Beverly Towles Company, Inc, disagreed with his wife, she says he signed the fol- lowing to get back into her good graces:
 MY DUTY TO MY WIFE.
 My wife comes first. before everything and everybody, and must have my salary every week.
 2.-Boss of the home and has every thing to say about home life, plea sure and comforts and must have atten- tions such outings and theatres when we can afford it.
 3.-No swearing or insults or rude treatment in the home.
 4.-No love making to other women around the house or calling on or corresponding with other women.
 5.-No arguments or mentioning unpleasant things of the past.
 6.-Each to have own friends with out objection. if they are respectable.
 Mrs. Towles cited this outline of a husbands duties in suing Towles for separation in the Supreme Court. She declared that he has an income of at least $10,000 a year from his business and from his work as a designer for magazines. Towles, however, said that his drawing account was only $50 a week and that his wife had greatly exaggerated the amount ot property that he owns. In her complaint she declared tha he doused her with a glass of water one time, threatened to shoot her and was too attentive to other women Towles said his home life was made miserable by his wife's fondness fol liquors and cigarettes.
