MOTOR FOOT

A new disease has been discovered. Strangely
enough it is not one whose cure depends upon
the use of alcoholic beverages. 1t is motor
foot" and consists of a displacement OF the
metatarsal bones of the right foot due to con-
tinued pressure upon the accelerator of a motor
car. 1t is said to be very painful, and so many
cases have been reported among western tour
lists that the California Pedic Society proposes
to take the subject up for study at its conVen-
lion next month.
The worst thing about this stylish trouble is
that it makes walking hurt and interferes even
more with golf, tennis and other active vacation
sports, leaving the poor victim delicately poised
on his good foot between the devil and the deep
sea, with no way to amuse himself except DS
sitting in a chair or walking on his hands
OF course there will be mean souls to ASK
why step on the accelerator so often? Why'
trv to pass all the other cars on the roadE
And such disagreeable questions the motorlst
will not be able to answer. He wouldn't have
motor foot il he were in the habit of using his
head.

DOCKS BRING SHIPS

One of the arguments that has been made
against the development of Perth Amboy's
waterfront for shipping purposes is that there
would be no ships to land here after the docks
and warehouses were built. Show us the ships,
they say, and we will then consider building
the wharves. In the meantime all the vessels
go to New York or some other Atlantic port and
show no inclination to come to Perth Amboy.
In this connection it is interesting to read the
letter which Richard Ferris, editor of the Pan
American Magazine, has written to the New
York Sun. He says in regard to the develop
nlent of the port of New York, of which Perth
Amboy is now a part, that if piers are built the
ships and railroads will come quickly enough.
.It must be regarded as indisputable," he says,
that a pier now, or in the future, available for
docking the ships now on the seas is of incom-
parably greater actual value to the mme of
the port of New York than a projected railroad
loop west of the Orange mountains or a projec-
ted tunnel under the Narrows, which cannot pos
sibly be built for twenty-five years to come, and
then only at an expenditure which is prohibi-
tive"
II Perth Amboy had shown more interest In
per waterfront development in the past it is not
likely that the newly created Port New YORK
Authority would be passing us by in such an in
different manner as is now apparent. But even
vet there is opportunity for Perth Amboy and

TAXES AND WAR
By Frederic j.. Haskin.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-Must international
war cease because the common man VIII no
longer put up the money necessary to carry 1t
On? .
That is the real question which the Wash!ng-
ton conference on disarmament and information
al finance will consider. There is some nope
of results from this conference because 1t ap-
breaches the question of war from a new angie.
There have been efforts to abolish war since
before Christ, and all of them have failed COM
pletely, Rulers and men of wealth have al
ways wanted wars in order to increase their
mower and wealth. Often most OF the people
want war too. A war may be a great national
calamity, but it is also a great national emo
| tional debauch and shake-up. Our participation
in the World War was just that. Many We're
killed and manned, but many others had a gooo
time, or made money, or saw the Worlu' Vi
gained a new point of view. 1t is useless TO pre-
tend that wars are desired only by men IN pow
err who make them. The excitement and changt
which they afford is often craved by the CON,
mon man as well, even though he bears all th'
cost and takes all the risk.
But the cost and the risk are always pecom'
ing greater, and the excitement less. our par

SHIPPED CAR OF WHEAT
TO wHEAT GROWERS ASSN.

Geo. Ratzlaff of the Lorena, Okla
homa, neighborhood, shipped car
of wheat to the Wheat Growers AS
sociation last Friday morning. Mr..
Ratzlaff says he has several more to
ship and that several in his neighbor-
hood are planning on shipping to the
Association. He says also, that the
organization is not dead in Beaver
county and that they expect to con-
tinue the organization and prove
its benefit. Mr.. Ratzlaff has bunch
of cards printed at this office to tack
on the cars. We failed to save one
but it reads something like this:
Organization, Cooperation, Affilia-
ton, Save Nation from Damnation,
Wheat Growers Association"
Mr.. Ratzlaff is certainly booster
for the Wheat Growers Association,
and if every farmer was as good a
one the organization would certainly
set the price on wheat-and would
make it stick, too.

new constitution and set Of by
avs for their organization.
For one solid week, working nigh,

good fight and had turned out what
they believe will be real set of by
laws that will serve the international

to come.
The constitution and bylaws they
have evolved after the week of toll

and It Sounds Reasonable
Enough to be True

There is considerable talk going
the rounds that the Wichita Falls &

that the line will be extended on to
Garden City.
There is no way of finding out the
truth of the report but it listens
good anyway. According to the re-
port Mr.. Byers will bend his energies
to push the Kansas & Oklahoma thru
to Trinidad or other Colorado point,
and the Katy will build here to con-
meet. If this is the plan, the Garden
City extension does not sound feas-
able, although it is possible this is
contemplated.

builds through to Trinidad and the
Katy builds from Forgan here. do
not care whether we ever get any
oil or not, Liberal is going to make
