LONG FACE NEVER
 EARNED \ PENNY

And a grouch never helped q human being. You can offord a . smile even if you do not feel . like it. A smile does not cost you anything, yet it has a busi- ness value. The chap who ducks up smiling when everybody IS pulling long faces is the chap you want to dc business with.
 The grouch only. begets grouch- es. Look out you are not infected bv the grouch. His poison is more dangerous than bolshevism, mosquitoes and fake "hootch combined.
 Smile when you mean 1t, and smile when you don't, and keep right on, with a cheerful mug. It is good business. It helps your digestion. And it makes you well come everywhere, advises Sugar mans Indicator.

THE NEXT STEP IN IRELAND.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 High hope for ending the deplor- able situation in Ireland, has been fol lowed by black despair since the ef. fort at settlement has taken so bad 8 turn. The Sim Feiners wiil bs satis- fled with nothing less than full inde- pendence, and this Great Britain will not allow. In England they are dis, cussing now how the war power shall be used in Ireland.
 The London Times says Great Brit. ain must impose upon Ireland what she considers just settlement or lei South Ireland go her way as an in. dependent republic. It adds that this last would be treason to England ana is absolutely unthinkable. The Lon. don Observer urges the British gov. ernment not to resort to military ter. rorism, but to adopt, instead of a pol, icy of occupation, policy of evacu. aticn
 Under the Observers plan loyalisi supporters and British troops would be withdrawn from Southern Ireland as would be all rolling stock of tho railways Ulster would hold it's owr frontier and the British would hold g few strategic points along the coast and at the mouth of the River Shan. non. South Ireland would be al lowed, as the Observer puts it. "te stew in it's own juice
 Since the Sim Fein will accept onlN complete independence and sine, Great Britain under no circumstance, will grant complete independence, it i. to be hoped that the Observers plaY or some other plan that will save lives and prevents horrors such q, have shocked the world during th. past few years, will be adopted

WHEAT MONEY FOR GASOLINE. Nearly Entire Proceeds of Kansas
 Crop Go to Motor Car Upkeep.

Wichita, Kas.. Aug. 22.-It takes the proceeds of practically the entire wheat erop of Kansas to keep the au- tomobiies of Kansas in gasoline and oil each year, according to figures compiled by Tom Voss, of Wichita, collector of motor car license for this territory.
 Mir. Voss has estimated that of the S00,000 ears in Kansas, an average of one dollar a day is expended for oil and gas. This means total of S109,- 500,000 year. Kansas wheat grow CTS this year produced 122 million bushels of wheat, valued at approxi- mately 122 million dollars. He then estimated that the difference-121s million bushels of wheat-will cover seeding and other expenses on the farms for the year.

President Harding has appointed Charles G. Dawes as director of the budget. Dawes is Investigating the activities of every government de. partment and learning how money car be saved.
 But Dawes has no power to force any department or official to cut ex- penditures. Dawes cannot even make suggestions directly to department head.
 Dawes status is that of an adviser to the president. After he has col lected his information, he will lay a plan of reorganization and retrench- ment before the president and Con- gross. Then Dawes will be thru.
 Whether any money is actually saved depends on what action the president and Congress may take or Dawes suggestions Dawes can in- vessigate, advise and suggest until he is blue in the face, without saving a single penny, unless the president and Congress back him up.
 In 1910. President Taft appointed a Commission on Economy and Eff ciency which was to serve the same purpose Dawes is expected to serve.
 This commission painstakingly gathered information from every gov ernment agency. Then it presented retrenchment suggestions to Con- gross.
 The suggestions were entirely dis. regarded and government waste went merrily on. After spending $100,00( in fruitless investigation, the com. mission was disbanded.
 Let's sec to it that history does not repeat itself.
 If we are to end government waste, we must insist that Congress go thru with the Dawes program--or improve upon it.

OFFICER WON IN
 BATTLE FOR LIFE fCanfinf1nd Ernrn pa1a Onel

fContinued From Page One) was the plan it went wrong, for find- ing himself surrounded Shorter pulled his own revolver and while Bell held on the barrel, fired three shots from the weapon. One of the shots went wild. Another pierced the body of Dunnigan, who stood to one side of Shorter striking the officer with the butt of q revolver. The third shot grazed the body of young Bell, who pleaded with the officer to not kill him.
 Upon Shorter's promise to not kill Bell, the last named released his hold on the officers revolver. Before mak- ing the promise Shorter is said to have told Bell and Johnson:
 "I'm going to arrest you both and put the handcuffs on you"
 Put On the Handcuffs.
 Which promise he fulfilled despite the fact his head was beaten and bloody from the blows received. Later when Dr. F. A. Lee, summoned from Vandervoort, had arrived, it was dis covered that Shorter's skull was frac- tured. Eleven stitches were required to sew up the wounded officers scalp. After having seen his prisoners turned over to Deputy Tolle, Shorter was taken to his home, not far distant. While it is reported that he is ser iously injured his friends believe that ne Will soon be up and about, for Shorter IS known to be a man of powerful physique and strong vital- ity.
 Dead Man Chased As Stacker.
 The body of Dunnigan was taken to Nandervoort, where it was inferred Thursday afternoon. The dead man was classed as a stacker during the war and is said to be a member of the lawless element that haunts the hills in the country around Hatton. Dun- nlgan was aDout 30 years of age. a widower and is believed to have sev- eral children, whose whereabouts are unknown to the authorities. He was shot thru the stomach, the bullet en- tering at point four inches above and to the right of the navel and ranging upwards. Death was instan- | taneous.
 The bullet that wounded Bell simply grazed the skin of his abdomen and did not infict a serious injury. Two other shots are said to have been fired during the mixup, but by whom. the officers could not ascertain. No inquest was considered neces- sary as to the cause of Dunnipan's death. but in order to make a proper record of the killing and Shorter's connection with it, an examining trial VIII be held in Mena.

MANDATE ISLE IS .LOOTED, IS CHARGE
Australians Accused of Bad Faith in Running Ex-German Colony of New Guinea--Germans Are Run Out
 Plantations Deteriorating.

London, Aug. 19.-Australia, hay ing received a League of Nations mandate for New Guinea, is now en- gagged in 'looting" this former Ger man territory, declares Henry Stead, an Australian writer and editor of Stead's Review. He makes wholesale charges of inefficiency in administra- ton of the mandate and accuses the Australian government of ghastly mistakes.
 When Rabaul was occupied by the Australian troops in 1914 the German Governor did not surrender uncondi- tionally," write Stead. General Holmes, the Australian commander, undertook to send him and his officials back to Germany and to respect the property of private persons. The peace treaty, it is true, gives Australia the right to conhscate German prop erty, but by so doing she is breaking the definite agreement she made with the Germans at the time the place was captured.
 Germans Are Run Out.
 Not only has private property be- longing to Germans been expropriat- ed, but many Germans who have spent from fifteen to twenty years in devel- oping the copra industry are being cleared out. Despite the fact that the Appropriation Board employs a great crowd of officials, in only one OF two 0f kA ( I Germans been able to secure a state ment concerning their estates. Yet it is a fact that three Australians are employed for every German employed before the board took oyer the Ger man properties.
 "Fhe Germans are in a grevious condition. They cannot get any money from the German government It is therefore impossible for them to start life again anywhere else. This seems to be an entirely unnecessary refinement of cruelty, of which it is safe to say the people of Australia are generally quite ignorant.
 Plantations Deteriorating.
 "The German plantations have been placed in temporary charge of re- turned soldiers, young men who have no knowledge of cocoanut growing and who have no experience whatever in handling natives. Is it any sur prise to learn that these plantations, which everyone admits were models of efficiency and productivity under German control, are rapidly deterior- ating2
 There is general agreement that there is going to be debaele in Ger man New Guinea within three years. Many say the crash will come sooner than that. It is becoming more and more clear that. in it's desire to get the whole of the loot, the Australian Government has made ghastly mis- take"

"The Greatest Iover


 The Greatest Love-" Lewis J. Selz- hicks powerful Select Special, which will appear for the first time in Bis bee at the Lyric theatre today, is re- markable for many things, but one outstanding point that immediately impressed itself upon the observer is the magnitude and quality of the cast
 The star of the production is Vera Gordon, whose spectacular rise to fame as the Mother" Of Humores- que" was the sensation of the year in screen circles. Vera Gordon also has mother" part in this re- markable Select Picture, and it is said her portrayal of Mrs. Lantini far excels her previous screen eff forts
 One of the principal male roles has been assigned to Hugh Huntley. whe is both by experience and per sonality fitted for this role which calls for some unusual emotional acting.
 w. II. Hooker, one Of the most sought after character actors on the screen, and who recently starred in "The Stealers." has the part of Mir. Manton, while the "heayy" part falls to the lot of Donald Hall, who has long been a screen favorite and who. even before that, was q musical com edv star in such productions as "Floradora.' The Girl Behind the Counter" etc. In the difficult emo tional role of Mrs. Sewel will be seer S"lly Crute, whose blonde beau. ty has long been an attraction on the screen.
 The story of The Greatest Love" calls for three juvenile leads. and Fann'e Shelton, Bobby Watson and Ray Dean are three youthful players who display marked ability, especial ly Fannie shelton. who gives every in ication of becoming star in the nc distant future. Bertr N Mar bu-gh, an actor of experience, and Jessie simpson, m comedy charac- torization, complete thS adult mem. bers of the cast
 The child players, however, should not be overlooked, as they have very important parts in the production. Foremost among these is little Bob by Connolly, who has been betore the public since he was three years If age. Dainty DCt Williams plays opposite Bobby Cannolly Dot is also player of experience despite the fact that shc is not yet twelve years of agC.
