SPRING FEVER.

Have you noticed your annual attack OF spring
fever coming yet? Watch for the symptoms It's
a fine time to take psychological inventory OF
the Ego. that mysterious being that moves our
bodies as the operator Of marionette show moves
his puppet-actors with strings
Scientists never have been able 10 agree on ex-
acty what causes spring fever
Some say It's lethargic drowsness caused by
the body eliminating poisons accumulated during
the physical inaction of winter.
Help the elimination by taking long walks
breathing deeply Of the fragrant spring air. or
starting garden
Another theory about spring fever Is that it's
reaction from winter first warm weather MAX

amount of energy your body generates

weather, also, makes many folks sluggish and
drowsy
Researches by Ellsworth Huntington of the Ma

cheney goes down with the mercury of the
Thermometer
At 60 to IS degrees we do our best physical and
brain work and are healthiest That's why the
temperature Of house. office or workroom never
should go above SIS in winter
Sap starts rising in the trees. Grass sprouts
green. Plant life buds Chipping birds pause on
their way north. The ice goes out fish run on the
surface. The bear leaves his den Timber wolves
stop running in packs and mate
That Is sDring-the sunrise of new period of
life
The backyard gardener stirs Farmer whistles
in the fields Golf bug smacks his lips Fisherman

Spring is the time to take new lease on life. to
get a fresh start. FIJI your lungs with fresh air
and go to It.
The best thing about spring fever is that it's
prelude to another round of intense human ac-
tivity. Except. of course for the gent that has

His platform assures OF the qualities or real
craftsmanship. that the voter who makes his
choice and issues rather than taking his
politics from labels will rejoice In the prospect
of having such a candidate upon the ballot in
November.
To the democrat who is interested IN party sue
cess, the statement OF Gov Ralston will bring cheer
and wipe away any INDIGESTION that may have lin

He will find in the candidacy of Raston the
assurances that the principles Of government for
which he stands will find vigorous championship

There a nationwide interest in the Beveridge-New

much uneasness among republican leaders in what a
prominent republican editor terms "a family quarrel
in republican ranks. Although this same editor
emphaticaly denies this action of the people Of
Indiana any reflection upon the Harding admnstra-
tion the fact remains that this family quarrel Mr..
Harding the father this troublesome household and
Beveridge of those less fortunate children in
the Harding family who stood in danger of being left

advantage of his personal friendship with the president
asking the of the people of Indiana who
given President Harding $4,000 plurality in the
year and half ago, he asked that they vote
for him vndicaton Of the presidents policies and
an Endorsement Of the Harding administration And Mr.
Beveridge lacking the favor Of the president ana OF
congress with "bg business" interests back OF

it? Yet the republican leaders say it reflection on

HAVEN OF CONTENT
At times l grow weary Of life in flat

At times l grow weary Of life in q flat
With a neghbor l care for at all;
With to stop for COSBY chat
And no one to greet the dinge in the hall;
At times l feel nightly tempted to go
Where all Of my neighbors friends that know,
And there quite contentedly settle me down
In an oldfashioned house in od.fashioned town.
An od-fashoned house that has plenty of room,
With IA wide shady porch and broad grassy lawn,
With u trellis of whose waited perfume
Grows lovely summer comes on;
1t tugs at my heartstrings, that pastoral scene.
And the peace and the comfort that rest like crown
On an old-fashioned house in od-fashioned town!
Afar from the citys harsh granite and brick
hear lovers talk they saunter along,
/ hear the old gates they creak and they click
hear from the porches brief snatches of song;
And neighbor greets neghbor, and friend calls to
friend
And life has a quiet and lesurely trend,
Unspoed by the battle for gold and renown
In an old-fashioned house in oldfashioned town.
And then-I remember the gossip that wags
Where everyone knows all about your AFFAIRS
How life in a village YEARLY drags
l think of a householder's troubles and cares
OF grass to be cut, and in winter times chill
OF wood you must chop and Of stoves you must fill
In an oldfashioned house in oldfashioned town!

WEDNESDAY, MAY II, 1922.
FOR THE PARTY

THE withdrawal of E. B. Howard and Hubert L.
Bolen from the for Democratic nomination
Tor governor is of double significance, as the Ard
morete sees it. First and foremost it clarifies the
party situation largely, leaving the race a three
cornered one with the candidacy of Thos. Owen
standing out above the other two contestants In
the second place it proves the sterling Democracy
OF two OF Oklahoma's most prominent Democrats.
Howard and Bolen have acquitted themselves
splendidly and deserve the commendation of the
party. Their withdrawal is the personfcation of
the spirit OF Democracy, They withdrew because
they believd it for the good Of the party.
Without much willingness to bow to the will
of the majority party government would be worse
than failure. Too often parties are ruled by men
who demand that the party stand or fall on per-
sona issues This inevitably leads to party decadence
Ultimately power and favor is lost.
With the primary contest just little more than
two months off Democrats to be assured OF
clean campaign. a campaign of merit and
final getting together without any arrangements.
Mayor Walton of Oklahoma City, brought into
prominence by an element that was more or less
disconented with things that were, has about
spent his strength, according the best reports we
can gather There is nothing particularly wrong
with Mayor Walton except the movement that con-
ceived his candidacy.
His following is small minority in Oklahoma
however, and the Ardmoreite cannot help but be-
lieve that he will sooner or later follow the course
OF Howard and Bolen. Such move on his part
would practically assure democratic victory in
November, because republicans are counting on a
split in the democratic party ovr the Walton
candidacy.

MOTHERS.

ERAULEIN Gertrude Baer arrives from Germany,
imported by American women's pacfst organiza-
tons She lectures against war, says that ending
war is up to women.
"a man system controls the world. Women must
replace the masculine principle with feminine prin-
ciple Our supreme principle should be the sacred
ness Of life"
This is beautiful sentiment.
But the quickest way for women to end war Is
tc stop giving their children toy guns and other
playthings that waken the biological military in
ssnct. World peace begins in the cradle not IN
maturity.
