ed an important addition to the
business inerests of the town, We
reproduce the following article
from the last issue of the Two
Ruttes Sentinel:
Lamar passed mp the OAA high
way from Oklahoma City. Lamar
wanted to make her own terms for
securing the road. Members of the
highway committee of tho Lamar
Young Mems Business Association
Thought the Oklahoma people were
nutting up bluff in naming their
terms, and that lamar could do
some bluffing. too. and get away
with 1t. As a result the Oklahoma
Automobile Association gave la.
mar the cold shoulder and took the
road to Holly. The latter city
eagerly accepted the terms of the
OAA contract. No one begrudges
the road to Holly. for Holly took
the road because she had progress
Give spirit enough to realize its i'm.
portance.
Lamar figured that in any event
she would get the benefit of the
OAA traffic. But now she will not
derive any benefit to sneak of
Holly will route all traffic north
over her new GPC highway and
will leave Lamar holding the sack.
UnconsciOusly or not. Lamar has
snapped at the feeding hand-the
south country and in doing so she
has hurt her own interests. La
mars action in refusing to accept
the OAA contract has denied the
road to the entire country tribu.
tary to Lamar. The road would
have been magnificent advertise
ment for Baca county and for
southern Prowers county. and since
this is all Lamar trade territory. 1t
would have been splendid advcr
tfsement for Lamar in addition to
the advertising Lamar would have
received as the terminus of such
road.
The road would have traversed
some of the best country in La
mars trade territory. and the inter
est in the section trnversed would
have led to nm investigation of the
territory contiguous to the high
way.
An advertisement for the south
country would be an advertisement
for Lamar. Lamar claims the
south country ms her own. Wheth-
er Lamar realized it or not. she
took swat at her own south coun-
try when she bluffed herself out of
the OAA Highway.

First of Free Libraries.

1t is being suggested that every long
distance railway train should be provided with
a library for the use of passengers, in order
that they may spend otherwise tedious hours
in reading good books.
But, according to London It'd Bits, this is
no new idea. That publication says:
Nearly 100 years ago, when omnfbuses first
began to run in London, travellers were fur
nished not only with newspapers and maya
zines, but with books. Each bus had a little
bookcase filled with books by we'll known
authors.
AS new books were expensive in those days
the thoughtfulness of the bus owners was appreE
ciated. 1t is said that people used to ride to
some outlying suburb and back simply for the
purpose of being able to read a book in the
omnibus library.
unfortunately, while the public appreciated
the boon, there were some mean travellers who
stole the books, until at last the proprietors
were obliged to announce that, in consequence
of repeated thefts, the libraries would be dis
continued"
However much of truth is contained in the
experiment by London bus owners of 100 years
ago, it does not follow that libraries on long
distance railway trains would meet with the
same fate. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
they would not. At any rate the experiment
should be tried by some or all trans-continental
railroads. If the experiment should prove the
success which it is almost sure to be, it would
be profitable not only to the railroads, but what
is more important, to those long distance pas
sengers.
A well-selected travellers library containing
among other books those giving descriptions OF
the notable historical and scenic features of
the country through which the travellers are
passing could not fail to prove interesting and
valuable. Such libraries would add very ma
terially to the pleasure and mental profit of
the journey. Those who have Travelled in
Europe know chow much the possession of a
"Baedecker" assists them in understanding
things worth while on their journey.
The long distance railway train that first
introduces a well-selected library for the free
use of its passengers will be chosen by travel
ers in preference to those who lag behind.

The Arbuckle Verdict.

The public had hoped that it would be spared
further rehashing of the nauseating details of
the Fatty Arbuckle hotel party with the verdict
OF the jury that tried the film comedian at San
Francisco on a charge of numbering Virginia
Rape. The jury disagreed and was dis
charged. One woman on the jury stood out for
conviction, the others voting for acquittal.
She declared that she would hold out until hell
freezes over" before she would change her vote
The disagreement means that Arbuckle is to
be tried again. That insures another review
IN the public prints of the disgusting stories
descriptive OF the wild drunk in the ST Francis
hotel on last Labor day. Public opinion has
changed greatly since the first published &C
counts OF the Arbuckle~ party. While none con-
dones the conduct of the comedian, still the
testimony of the various witnesses has done
much toward tempering the feeling OF the
people against Arbuckle. The chief witness
against him was a woman who admitted that
she had taken 10 drinks of liquor and had spent
the greater part of the day in Arbuckle's rooms
enjoying his hospitality. The inference here
was that the woman had had some quarrel with
Arbuckle, for little misunderstanding invar-
Ssbly result from these wild parties.
There was no evidence to prove that
Arbuckle had assaulted Miss Rape. But there
was evidence to show that the young woman
had grown hysterical because of overindulgence
IN liquor. While Arbuckle behaved in a bestial
manner, so did every other member of the
party, including the unfortunate young woman
who lost her life as a result OF her debauch. The
proper thing for the authorities to have done
would have been to have arrested the entire
party and assessed fines on charges OF drunken
ness and disorderly conduct.
The murder charge against Arbuckie was
made by a woman who acknowledged that she
had taken enough liquor to make an ordinary
person drunk Therefore she was in no condi-
ton to give a Straightforward story of what
happened in the later hours of the ArbockIe

Smokehouse Coming Back.

Member the days when the farmer was his
own butcher? Seems like an old-fashioned
idea, but it's going to be in vogue again soon
Iowa farm bureau agents, at their meeting last
week, reported that the farmers were clamoring
for demonstrators TO show them the best meth
DDS of home butchering and meat cutting.
Its a protest against the difference between
scent hogs and Accent bacon" one of the
agents explained. Every demonstration OF
butchering and meat cutting in the state is
booked up solid until March. Like conditions
beget like results. The present price of farm
products has thrown the farmer back to the
customs of a generation ago. Many of them are
pinched more severely than we're the farmers>of
that day, for they are confronted with commod-
fly prices which are, in many instances twice
as high as the level of farm prices.
In the past ten or fifteen years the rural
resident was content to buy clearinghouse meat.
He couldn't be bothered with butchering, but
many of them are forced to this alternative. If
home-butshering is taken up on the scale which
was predicted at the county agents conference,
1t means that less clearinghouse products will
be sold. The decision of the farmer should
awaken those engaged in the meat industry 70
the consequence Of high production costs.
"Butchering days on the farm mean idle
days for packing house workers and restricted
sales for retail shops

"IfIWere Rich"

"If l were rich" Probably that thought has
occurred to everybody who is not rich. 1t is the
aspiration of everyone to win wealth in order
that he may make his dreams come true. 1t is
quite likely, however, that the dreams and the
performance would not be the same. No one
knows what he would do if he were rich. He
only thinks he knows. The ownership of
riches is quite a different matter from mere
dreaming about it. 1t is safe to say that a large
proportion of humanity could not safely be en-
trusted with riches. .
1t very often happens that ownership of
wealth throws people off of their balance, de-
stroys their equilibrium, in which case they
either become riotously extravagant and waste
full or criminally close and stingy. Yet every
one would be willing to try being rich: every
one would willingly, If not eagerly, invite the
test A good deal of the y"rning Of the human
race goes into those four words, IF l were
rich" A great deal of the human energy ex-
pended goes into effort to translate the aspira-
ton into reality. 1t is a dream that men have
dreamed since time began, and doubtless men
will continue to dream it as long as time shall
last. Nevertheless, it would be a contribution
to human happiness if they could forget the
haunting words, "If 1 were rich"

party. II the truth were known 1t Is propaDie
that every member OF the party was intoxicated.
The physicians who examined Miss Rape as
was to be expected, did not all agree. but all
admitted that her death might have been caused
by a condition. aggravated by her heavy drink
ing and the hysteria that subsequently seized
her.
Arbuckle's chief misfortune now seems
to be in having too much money. Inc
proceedings at San Francisco have an
the earmarks OF an attempt to keep
Fatty in peril just so long as his oanK
roll holds out. When he is down to his last
dollar he will in all likelihood be acquitted.
Arbuckie will always stand before the public
as a man who made a great mistake, but other
men have made similar mistakes. However IL
is doubtful if ever a jury will be found tnat
will convict the linn comedian of the charge OF
murder.
