'IUXURIES"

You people, mon and women, who are
beginning to feel the pinch of the real
reconstruction" might now take a
day off and figure out how much you
spent, unnecessarily, upon Injuries,
and things which were of no real
value or worth, during the period when
affluence walked about the land
The old advice given. in tabled story,
10 the sluggard, the advice which told
him to so TO the busy bee and the
Woodworking ant and learn wisdom,
might we'll be applied to the giddy
splcnder Of the era of crazy and in
discriminate spending just closed.
Many a fellow who is today number
ed as a unit in the great army of the
unemployed, may look back regretfully
upon the money thrown away during
the time high wages were lavishly paid
the time employment was to be had
for the asking. But, in feeling this re-
gret he must remember that the

ed by the water which has already
past.
Regrets will be vain, regrets will be
useless. regrets will buy you nothing,
will get you nowhere.
It is, therefore, it seems to US, the
duty Of those who were not too profli-
gate in their expenditures, the men
and women who did not scatter and
break all the eggs before the goose
was killed, to start in and really prac-
tice that thrift Of which so much was
written, of which so much was adver-
tised. of which so little was practiced
during the times of plenty throughout
the land.

CARTER COUNTY TRUCK
GROWERS WILL MEET ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON

The Carter County Truck Growers
association will me-. a. y Chamber Of
/ Commerce Saturday afternoon, for the
purpose Of discussing mpfket conditions
Tic prospects for ;;g irelon crop was
never better in this locality than it is
at present, and the growers want to b.
sure that they get all the melons are
worth when time comes to put them or
the market.
The Oklahoma market commission
has agreed to assist local growers with
this task, and from recent reports II
seems that approximately 100 cars Of
melons will be shipped from here this
season.
The question Of marketing has always
been the bugbear of growers in this
section of the state. Truck growers all
state that this soil and locality is ideally
suited to truck growing, but the ques-
ton of selling their stuff after it has
been produced is question that has
caused them all a great deal OF worry
and financial loss in the past.
With the Oklahoma market commits
sion on the job assisting them the loca,
growers are looking forward 10 a pros.
porous season.
They have all entered into an agree
ment 10 raise only the best standard
varieties Of melons. and these will be
graded by a competent member of the
commission in order that the highes,
possible price will be obtained when solo
in carload lots.
The meeting will be called TO order
at o'clock and every one interested in
truck growing is urged to be on hanl
promptly.

EINSTELN SIMPLIFIED.

We see where we can get "Einstein
Simplified" for zone Dollar. Mailed
Prepaid"
'"The book that will popularize the
Theory Of Relatively" the publisher
says. $50 pages"
Well, If it takes $50 pages TO popu-
larize theory the chances are it will
remain as at present-unpopular.
We have never read any OF Professor
Einstein's theory in his own words.
Not because it is too intricate, how.
ever, nor too technical. From what
] have read, however, it seems that de-
scriptive geometry is a primer CON-
pared with the professors vocabulary.
Relatively has something to do with
Cosmos" at least we have heard that
much. But the most concise and lucid
explanation yet observed was by the
man who said the Professors theory
Is, that If you start from this planet
and draw a straight line in the same
direction, and go far enough with 1t,
you will return to the spot from which
YOU started.
If that's the case, we can see only
one support for RELATIVELY" It's un-
conventional. Christopher Columbus
had an unconventional idea. Everyone
elsc--or rather, everyone except q
queen with a fortune in jewels-enter-
tained the conventional conception OF
things cosmic. which was to the ef-
feet that this planet was built like a
dry goods box. II was the popular
conception.
After Columbus, came Magellan. He
elrcumnavigated the globe without
finding the four corners. Since that
it has been the convention conception
