BUSINESS AND. SOCIAL
LIFE In EVIL WAYS

Greenfield, Mo. May 1s.-The spiri-
tual, social. political and business life
of the day has fallen prey to material
ism and its attendant evils, the Rev.
]. E. Cortner Of Dyersburg. Tenn, re-
firing moderator of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church told the general
assembly of the denomination here to-
day with the warning that the greatest
need of the time is to find again tho
Bible that has been lost"
The world war. the growing divorces
evil, juvenile crime, crooked politics,
and questionable business methods Is
Part of the price being paid for turns
ing away from the teachings OF the
Bible, the moderator declared.
The Bible is even being lost from the
pulpit, he asserted, and he warned that
the faith Of thousands of youths is be-
ing destroyed by prophets Of the new
order" who tell US unblushingly that
most of the Bible is obsolete and has
no bearing on the complex problems Of
twentieth century life.
'The book of the laws has been lost
from our homes and in it's place all
sorts of devilish things have been in-
sttuted, replacing not only the Bible,
but crowding out the very basis Of
spiritual power-the family altar. Is il
any wonder there are so many unhappy
homes; that the divorce courts are
kept busy together with the juvenile
courts?"

ONE WAY TO GET 1T

According to- press dispatches there
Is one safe and sure way for the fellow
with the thirst abnormal, to satisfy
the same with impunity and safety
from embracings by the strong arm Of
the law.
The chap who is n foreign minis
ter, an ambassador from some other
land. plenipotendary from some
realm across the raging main. may
ship into this country. under satety's
seal. sanction OF the government, etc.
all the booze that he feels his con-
stitution will stand up under.
We readily see. therefore, that all
that IS needed by those who are
athirst, is to 80 forth to some other
realm, get political pull, acquire a
standin with the heads Of departments
and come back 10 the United States rs
a minister from that foreign land.
DO this and you can ship It in by
the hogshead. by the tu6ful, by the
Wholesale and retail. and the pesky
minions Of the enforcement office can
not lay the weight Of their hands
upon you.
Those who have not the price Of
journeying to other lands, however.
may be forced 20 content themselves

GOOD HUSBANDS STILL LIVE

We noticed a very appropriate car
toon the other day. 1t told the story
of the good husband being the uni
versal article, the rule, while the bad
spouse was the exception. And, set.
ting the matter, 1t showed that this
opinion was "mothered" by a single
lady, by a woman who, while she
might have longed for years for the
joys Of connubial felicity had man.
aged to escape ENHANCEMENT in the
matrimonial halter.
Now, speaking seriously, we do not
know who might be found better fit
ted to write about the good husbands
OF America than are the multitude,
any and all Of them, of single women,
Of women who have spent years and
years and years looking under the bed,
fearing yet hoping to find a man con-
cealed.
The single woman knows all about
the inherent domineering tendencies OF
her own sex. She knows all about
the manner in which the hens, in her
home barnyard, peck the species male
and send him off about his business
in fear and trembling. Also, she knows
all about the best way to raise babies,
either by natures flow or on bottle,
and seeing the faults of her married
sisters, she can tell all about the best
way to feed a man and coddle man
and cater to a mans faults and fol-
bles.
If the single women who know so
much about keeping husbands good
would not forget all they know as soon
as familiarity with the man begins to
to breed contempt, her rules would
work out in real life and make many.
very many happy homes possible.

TIMELY RAINS SAVE

Oklahoma City, May 20.-Light 10
heavy rains which fell generally over

southwestern parts, according to week.

tons issued here today by the wealth

Good progress was made in plant

report says. "The rains helped wheat
greatly, but while the crop made sat-

northwest counties, its condition gem

Corn generally made fairly good
progress and is of good color. Plant

very good progress was made in
planting cotton and the early planted

Oats generally deteriorated on ac-
count Of scant moisture, rust and the
ravages Of green bugs. The crop is
beginning to head on low straws with
conditions ranging from very poor to
good.
"The planting Of grain sorghums,
broom corn and peanuts continued with
the soil too dry in many sections for
favorable termination"

Growing tired of what they call
trashy American pictures which have

'VThe Tempest" has been selected
this season for Okmulgee's annual al

A WILLING SAVANT,
But HARD MASTER

Money is willing servant but a
hard master, and this saying is brought
home to the American people more to-
day than was thought possible q few
months ago, The average American,
nine months ago, was considering MOTH
ing but the immediate pleasure good
income could afford, spending on luxu-
ries, paying whatever price was asked
and looking not to the future. Their
money was a willing servant and did
not refuse to be spent
Can you say today that money Is
the servant? We think not. Extrava.
gance has made the spender the ser.
want of money and Money is a Hard
Master" You can hire this servant
back if you will put your money to
work for you. 1t may take some little
time to regain your former footing in
your household Of finance, but gave
little each week or month and it will
not take long before you can again
command the respect of your former
servant.

THEN WHAT is 1T?

Railway operators claim that the
falling off in freight shipments and
the slackening up in passenger traf-
fic, is not due to a shippers or trav-
elers strike, but to existing condi-
tons"
We concede the point, but claim that
the existing conditions" are brought
about by the extortionate charges for
freight and passenger service.
And, while we concede that the av
erage American, when it comes to
iarring loose from his surplus change,
is more or less of a good fellow
synonymous with blame fool-yet we
feel constrained to ask, If the falling
off in rail business is not shippers
strike and a travellers strike, then what
the Samuel Henry Hill is it?
For time, as we all know, the
people of the United States were pos
sessed of the spending mania. Men
and women went forth, into the high
ways and byways, hurting their coin
into the hedges and bitches. The best
was none too good, and the bigger
the price asked by the dealer, be that
dealer a seller Of merchandise or trans
portation, the better was the commo-
dity sold.
But these good fellows, the profit
gate spenders. have awakened from
their spending nightmare. They are
no longer the easy marks off Of whom
the profiteers fattened, and the first
evidence that they have regained some
thing OF their normal mental balance
is found in the falling off of rail ship
ments and rail travel
The decrease in patronage OF the
Pullman cars is another evidence.
Where ten persons Travelled In Pull
man cars when the rate was below
the present point OF extortion, an aver
age Of one will be found using those
coaches today.
If the falling off in rail transporta-
ton, freight and passenger. is not a
consumers strike. again we ask, then
what is It?

THAT $4,000 MARK

Every once and so often We hear
someone drop u remark TO the effect
that Ardmore will be a city of not less
than $4,000 inhabitants, within a year
or two, three years at the outside.
This listens" mighty well, and reads
mighty well, and advertises the COM
munity mighty well to those who live
afar off and gather their information
from long. distance sources,
But, if Ardmore is to be a city OF
$4,000 in one. two, three or even ten
years it will be necessary for all wind
Jamming to stop, while the men and
women who do real things, get down
to cases and do their part in city
building.
There is no reason why Ardmore
should not become city of the size
named above-no reason save that
which may be found commanded by
that great military genius who always
advances to the rear-General Apathy
Ardmore has everything favoring it,
1t is the distributing point for the
greatest oil field in the United States,
It is the center Of more oil activity
than is any other city in this state.
1t has all the primary factors need
ed to make it a city equal to Okla
homa City, superior to Tulsa. All that
is needed is push, Push spelt with
great, big letters, Push that will
push without any jealousies upon the
part Of the fellows who are doing the
pushing.
Is it not time, therefore, to stop
all the talk about Ardmore and its
$4,000 inhabitants in two years time
and get down to cases and dig the foun
dation upon which to build that popu-
lation?

namely, physical property and safe

Every man and woman can save

continued savings and by interest earn

WOMEN VOTERS LEAGUE
 SENDS OUT QUESTIONABLE

The citizenship department of the Con- necticut League of Women Voters has mailed to each of it's branch leagues in the state Know Your-Town Question naire" which will form basis for activ- ity this summer among the leagues members in the different towns Miss Mary Buckley, chairman of the citizen ship department, in describing the pur- pose of the questionnaire, says:
 Its value is to acquire information of value. first to the women in the local community, second to people in other towns, third as basis for future legis- lation. When the reports come back from the dineren leagues, the information will be arranged so that it may be read fly available for women in other towns For instance, if the town of Manchester is furnishing school lunches through the initiative of some group, and the women in the town of ,Westport wish to know how this work can be best organized, the experience of the Manchester women may be made available for their use. Certain questions are largely sugges- tive and invite opinion rather than facts"
 The questions concern population, in- dustry, home-making, .health, education, recreation, care for the unfortunate, pub lie utilities, transportation, courts, the county and the state.
 Under Health is asked What is the death rate of infants of one year of age and under in your town? What are the causes? Is there physical examination for school children? What does your town or your health officer do to secure pure milk, meat and to protect food from flies?
 The questions asked under Education
 include the following: Are women on the school board? Are you organizing con- tinuation classes for children in indus try? Have you a parent-teachers' asso. citation?
 | Other matters to be considered are ] What provisions are made for juvenile
 delinquents? Are dependent childrer 1 boarded out in your town? What billi
 came before the last legislature pertain ing especially to your town? Did the! become laws? Have you a woman legis
 Iator? Do you think women capable o being legislators?
