SAFETY A SCHOOL STUDY

Thirty-nine children were killed in
accidents in Kansas City in 1921, 16
beink killed by motor cars; three by
street cars; five by firearms; five by
burns, and seven by other unnatural
and unexpected causes. These trage-
dies, perhaps, partly account for the
fact that the Kansas City school
board and the city council have de-
cided to include safety study in the
school room.
Safety in the everyday life of the
child, in his school hours and in his
play time, at his home and on the
streets; the sanctity of human life
and the necessity of constant alert
ness to preserve it--these things will
be taken to the school children, and
within the next few weeks the plan
will be tried out with everybody par
ticipating to annul criminal careless
ness on the part of all.
Certainly. in view of the fact that
motor travel is what it is today. every
city, town and village should be in
terested in the safety program of this
big city, and it would seem that al
most every school could with profit
put on a similar study.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL

The following was recently con-
tributed by Jonas Cook to the Chick
asha Daily Express:
"If the telephone girl would tell
half she hears of gossip on the wires
each day, it would stir up a muss
that would end in fuss and the dew
il would be to pay. So she sits in
her seat and will never repeat the
message the wires convey-for she
knows if she blows anything but her
nose. some people will say, She's too
gayv
"She knows many men who talk
sweet now and then, but their wives
are not on the line-for if they were
there, these men would swear and say
things that wouldn't sound fine. She
listens all day to what people say
and seldom receives any thanks; but
when the line does not work, she's
brought up with a jerk, and they
snort and cut up some pranks.
ut seems even thus those who
serve US are frequently treated un-
fair, yet it pays to be just and no.

THE BEES INTELLIGENCE

]. M. Cutter & Son, of Montgom-
cry, Ala, paid $160 for one-half in
terest in Achievement Girl" The
girl is queen bee raised at Aber-
deem, N. d., and her children have
beaten al records for honey produc-
tion.
The queen was sent by mail, regis
tered and insured, to Montgomery, to
spend the winter producing young
bees-and then return to Aberdeen
to continue her work on $3.50 basis
for the double ownership.
The record price for a queen bee is
more interesting than any race horse
price and the bee is a more eXtraor-
dinary animal than any horse. The
worker bees take the young Of that
queen and make of any one fertile
queen, spending her life in mother
hood, or a sterile worker, to gather
honey.
Bees know things that humans
don't know, and in some ways they are
wiser. They sting to death all the
worthless drones as soon as the queen
has made her choice among them for
a husband. We feed our drOnes in
definitely.

THE BEST .DISINFECTANT

Soap and water make the best dis
infectant. If you are in doubt, read
the following quotation from the re-
port of a competent civic health COM
mission:
"The city health department has
stopped using fermaldehyde to disin-
feet homes where communicable dis
eases have been reported. We have
found soap and water is best"
The information is especially time
ly, just on, the eve of winter, when
communicable diseases are most pre-
valent, and disinfecting is likely to be
a problem in any home.
Scrupulous cleanliness is the person
and ditto for the house and all of its
appliances is better safeguard
against infection and the spread OF
disease than all the high-priced re-
medies.
Soap and water, fresh air and sun
shine will kill almost any kind o.
germ.

THE HATE MONGER

A man who rObs a bank is a baC
citizen, but his act is not such as tc
do a lasting injury to the citizenship
of the community in which his Of
fense is committed.
The stolen money can be replaced
and the robbed bank reopens for
business as usual.
Even the fiend who commits mur-
der leaves but a comparatively small
circle within which the effect of his
crime is felt with any degree of
keeness for an appreciable length of
time.
But the man or woman who spreads
the propaganda of hatred, jealousy
and suspicion, class hatred, race hat
red, religious hatred and fear and
suspicion in commercial and social
circles of life is a demon who pOis-
ons the very life blood of the nation
and whose field for harm is limited
only by the boundaries of civilization.
Even the crime of treason which
strikes at the government is not to
be compared with the HATE MON
GER who strikes at the fountain
head from which the government de-
rives its very existence.
The HATE MONGER is the heav-
lest handicap carried by our demo-
cratic form of government, and our
primary election law is the most pro-
life HATE MONGER hot-bed of this
generation.-The Nations High

THE TRILLIONARIE

The filing of bankruptcy suit in
San Josa, Cal, reveals the fact that
the day of the millionaire has arriv-
ed. George Thomas Jones has
achieved that distinction. Only he is a
millionaire on the wrong side of the
ledger. He confesses to owing the
tidy sum of $30H $40, 1892, ,912, ,085. .1G
and cannot pay for the perfect
ly good reason that there is not that
much wealth in the world.
Judgment for that amount has been
rendered by the supreme court of
Santa Clara county. The case is an
illuminating study in interest. In 1907
Mr.. Jones borrowed 500 from Henry
B. Stuart at 10 per cent interest COM
pounded monthly. He failed to pay
and few months ago the lender
brought suit to recover what was due
him. The string of figures printed
above represents the conclusion OF
mathematical experts called to hell
out the court.
1t Is a great thing, this thing OF
lending money on compound interest
at high rates-if you can collect. And
the debtor might be able to pay, al
that, if 1t were rubles or marks in.
stead of dollars. They deal familiar.
ly with sums in Russia and Ger
many.

FOR SALE-THE BLUE SKY

Barnum is right. One is born every
minute. But even at that we do not
believe many suckers will bite at the
bait offered by circulars coming out
of Chicago to this effect:
an order to quickly introduce
into every community, we will give
for a limited time to any person who
will send us S1.00 to cover the cost of
a liberal sized package, absolutely
free, $4,000 Russian rubles. The Rus
sian ruble recently was worth SIS
cents a ruble, giving the above a
value of $27,50O. Save this money;
many a great fortune has been built
up by buying foreign money after
wars. 1t is rumored that 100000
worth of radium has been discovered
in Russia and the press is calling at
tention to vast American projects in
oil and other industries that are be-
ing directed toward Russia"
The only thing about the adver-
tisement that appeals to us is that
it twill only be offered for a short
time" The government should see to
that part of the deal.

YOUR JUDGEMENT

Are you always right in your judg-
ment? Many people think they are
but no person ever is.
Nineteen hundred years ago we had
one perfect man, whose judgment was
never a fault. Because of His per.
fection. He died upon cross, His
agony shared by thieves.
Since then the world has never
known another.
Why, then, should we, humble NOR
tails that we be, imagine that oul
Judgment is never at fault. or that
we are incapable of falling into er'
ror?
The next time you get into argu
ment, and lose your temper, and are
on the point of resorting to force
stop and think of the years that have
flown since the manger ennobled the
beginning and the cross witnessed
the end of perfection in mankind.
1t is barely possible that you may
be sometimes in error.

PROHIBITION GROWS

While there is discussion in this
country-in some parts of it at least
AS to whether prohibition really
prohibits, the sentiment for laws
against the manufacture and sale of
intoxicants is growing in other coun-
tries of the world.
In England the liquor interests have
raised an enormous sum of money and
have started an aggressive campaign
to offest the effects of the work of
the prohibitionists.
In France the wine growers have
combined and formed an organization,
with ample financial backing, to fight
prohibition sentiment at home and
abroad. The wine growers see ruin
ahead.
1t may not be long until all civili-
zation joins the Mohammedans and
other non-Christian peoples in adopt
ing total abstinence as a policy as
well as principle.

THE PRICE OF COAL

II a merchant, or a banker, or q
farmer, or an editor, becomes irt-
volved in a row with his employees
and has to close down his busines,
for weeks or months he accepts his

The coal operators, however, are
not OF this class. They are saddlinp
their loss onto the public in the shape
OF enormously increased prices OF
coal, and are profiteering in a con,
scienceless and outrageous manner.
And since the government seems tc
be unable to do anything about il
the public becomes the goat and pays
