INVAlU LIABLE AID IN COOKING
Use Of Thermometer Will Help
the Housewife.

Every housewife is aware that the
actual cooking of a dish is very i'm
portant factor of success or failure. A
"hot oven" and moderate oven" are
often referred to, and testing by hold
ing the hand inside for few seconds
is a method frequently employed.
But there is no real dependency on
such haphazard methods, since one
person can bear much more heat than
another. Therefore, in an efficient
household a kitchen thermometer TO
register cooking heats should be con-
sidered as necessary as a clinical
thermometer. There are two varieties
of kitchen thermometers to be had.
The cheaper kind is of white china,
and can only be used for oven cooking.
A more durable make, of brass, which
costs a little more, can be used for
testing frying fats, etc, and will not
break so easily. An iron leg supports
the thermometer, so that it stands up
right and can be read at glance when
IN the oven. Every degree of heat from
low to high temperature is registered,
and at the side the standard tempera-
lures for cooking are printed.-Man-
chester Guardian Weekly.

the reaction was tremendous. Peo-

GOVERNMENT CONTROL

Since the public has been harass-
ed this year by two strikes of ma
lor Importance, there has been an
increase in the sentiment for gov
ernmental ownership of national
utilities such as rails and coal.
1t is quite natural that the peo-
pie should seek relief from a con-
tinued disturbed condition.
A large per cent of the miners as
well as the railroad men would like
to see these two industries in the
hands OF the government. They
have an idea that If the govern
ment would just take them over, all
would be well. That, also is along
the line OF present day thought
that the government is a great fix
er and can by merely proclaming
be it enacted change the spots
on the leapord or make black
white.
The public generally doesn't want
governmental control OF utilities.
This is indicated by the great reliei
experienced when the government
turned back the railroads follow
ing the war operation. The deficit
left under government control still
rankles in the breasts of average
Americans. We are still paying the
bills too, for that matter.
Private control of utilities. with
all its drawbacks, is far better than
political control. Not only is such
operation no part Of governmental
affairs. hut it could not but result
disastrously in the long run. What

Such a reform must come from the

WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

With the Republican state cam
paign actually launched and with
the Democratic organization just
on the eve of a general revival of
activity, it will be only short time
until politics will again be the sub
ject of Importance.
Since John Fields in his keynote
speech in Oklahoma City early
this week, made strong bid for
the conservative elements of both
parties, speculation has been rather
general as to the probable effect
of the G.. O. P. tactics. Republi-
cans themselves believe Fields will
be able to muster quite following
OF the independent vote among
conservatives, but admit the obvious
indication that Walton and the rest
of the Democratic ticket will more
than offset this with the great
mass of the labor-farmer class who
are attracted more by the liberal
planks in the Walton platform than
they are by strict party lines.
SO far as the Fields tactics are
concerned, old time Democrats in
sist that this is the same sort of
dope the Republicans have been
feeding the weakened since
statehood.
The Ardmoreite is inclined to be-
ieve that in spite of the furore
created by the wide split in Dem
ocratic ranks during the primary
and in spite OF the radical element
that attached itself to the Demo
cratic party at this time, the en-
tire Democratic ticket is going to
carry an overwhelming majority in
the fall election. Sincerely we re-
gret that Jack Walton, nominee of
the Democratic party, has advo-
Gated some of the ideas included
7 in the original platform, and we
i yet hope to see him come out
{ squarely in support OF the Demo-
cratic platform as written in Okla
homa City some time back. In spite
OF these ideas, however, he will be
able to claim the rank and file
of the Democratic majority in this
state and will no doubt hold the
,ff elements who entered the party
n support of these very ideas.
Democrats who love their party
and believe that the greater good
to nation and state can be accom-
plished while it is in power, will
necessarily swallow good deal be-
lore they will join in with the
enemy conspirators.

LIFE OF A $500 BILL

The life OF S. bill is about 10
months. Then it is worn out and
has to be replaced with new one.
This is reported by the Federal
Reserve Bank OF New York. 1t
keeps constantly on hand an excess
supply of $5OO,O0O,OOO OF paper
money to be substituted for worm
out bills.
You are not surprised at the
short life of S. bills, having observ-
ed the speed with which they travel,
rarely lingering long enough to get
acquainted.
