Says Money Rates
 Lower Bond Price

WASHINGTON, May 14.--Senator Owen, democrat, Oklahoma. today made public a letter from Governor Harding of the federal reserve board on which he disagreed with the views recently expressed by the governor that increased discount rates ordered by the reserve board did not tend to reduce liberty bond prices.
 If money was cheap and credits were available at low rates," sa,u Senator Owen, ''it is perfectly obvi- ous that these bonds would go to par, and just to the degree that the banks of the country raise the rates to very high artificial figures. to that degree the Liberty bonds and victory bonds vii assuredly fall in market value"
 High interest rates on call money, he declared, threaten public confi- dence and industrial depression.

FORD WRECK.

A man who has the genuine
love of work in his heart simply
can't be downed. Such a man is
the Post-Dispatch's most eff
cient foreman-Billy Covington.
Last Friday night he started
for his home about 1880 in a
Ford, in which were his brother,
John Covington, and B. F. Sim
clair, of Raeford, and Misses
Berta, Mary Eliza and Allie
Mex. Hicks. John Covington
was driving. The night was
foggy and when just across
Hitchcock Creek, the driver ran
off the 20-foot fill. The car
turned completely over twice,
but for a wonder not one of the
six occupants were injured other
than a general shaking up. De-
spite his unusual experience, Bill
ly was on the job as usual Satur-
day. It takes more than a little
old Ford to put a crimp in his
speed.

Again this paper deems it a
duty to sound a warning to the
young men of our towns, villages
and farming community.
Stay away from the big cities
remain on the farm.
All over the country there is a
tremendous shortage in dwell
ing houses in the centers of
population. In the cities fabu-
lous prices are charged for rents
simply because the landlords
know that they can collect any
sum they choose.
But why this coundition of af-
fairs?
Very simple. The higher
wages in the cities are drawing
people in from the farms by the
humid eds of thousands, and
they must be housed and fed.
They receive higher wages, it
is true, but they forget until too
late that their expenses are in
like proportion.
Daily the farms are becoming
depopulated, and if the stampede
continues and there is no influx
of farm labor from the old world
we will soon be face to face with
the national calamity of a nom
production of the food necessary
to sustain life.

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
DOUBLE NEGATIVES.

a LTHOUGH the double negative

express the negative when one is need
eds found in early English and in
other languages, its use in English
nowadays is incorrect. The use OF
such phrases as "She don't want
none" II can't do no more" I'VE don
know nothing" etc, marks the care
less speaker. They are found seldom
in writing, since the very act OF writ
ing, save in letters by the uneducated,
induces a more careful selection or
words than does speaking.
Shakespeare says, 81 cannot go no
further" but in this the unsurpassed
writer probably followed the usage of
his own times; a modern writer or

Similar to the use of the double
