Il Don't KnOU"
BY NORA COLE SKINNER.

believe he was doing his level best
to find out.
The Willingness TO remain igno-
rant is the crime.
| remember an usher at college
entertainment one time who didn't
know and didn't care 10 learn. II
was pay affair with several speak
ers on the program. lie had not
informed himself who the speakers
were, and when one arrived without
an adm isslon ticket he refused TO
permit him to go in. even though
told by the man that he was on the
program.
Did this usher rush around then
and lind out who the speakers were
to be and what he must do with this
man.
No, nobody had told him any
thing about il, and It wasn't his
fault. lie let the speaker stand
around la the entrance to the audi
torium for 10 minutes before some
one i'm charge came along and es-
corted him to his proper place.
This usher was rather proud OF
his ignorance and conduct in this
case, not seeming to realize that ig-
norance coupled with no effort to
learn is a disgrace.
That is, he was proud until this
particular man got up to speak. His
speech had been changed while
standing I'm the lobby Watching this
young usher, and he made II mostly
to HIM and those like him. II was
about not knowing and not caring.
and he predicted no future for men
and women like that. Men and
women with no initiative, who do
absolutely nothing but what they
are told TO do. learn absolutely
nothing but what they are told to
learn, see nothing that has not been
pointed out to them, think nothing
that somebody has not already
thought for them, such people will
stay right in their "usher tracks" all
the days of their life, doing nothing
for themselves and nothing for any
body else.

SELF SUPPORTING FARMS
Whitchurst Says Farmers should
Produce All Food for Table.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Jan. 2g-
The family table OF every farm IN
the state, without exception, should
be supplied amply with milk, butter,
pork products, eggs and poultry. j.
Whitehurst president of the state
board of agriculture, stated In his
Oklahoma crop notes
A COW, a SOW and two dozen hens,
given ordinary care will produce
much more food before next fall
than their present cost will buy.
Every farm should have home
gorden, especially To supply plenty
of potatoes. sweet potatoes, turnips
and other vegetables which may be
kept for winter use
The ultimate view Of the state
board, President Whitehurst said. is

"PRO" CHIEF ALSO IS
 LONG DISTANCE TAIKER

Washington, May 24.-They now have added the name of Roy A Haynes. Prohibition Commissioner. to the words list of long-distance talk CTS.
 Haynes has interspersed a whirl- wind programme for drying up the country with about 2o,000 miles of travel nd more than 100 speeches since he took office less than a year ago.
 The "Ohio oracle" as his Middle Western neighbors call him, speaks usually without N manuscript and whizzes along after a swift start. at the rate of 15O words a minute. He is noted for jaruming big ideas into long sentences. A two hour speech Is just one of the passing incidents of the day for the prohibition chief. He boasts it matters not whether the audience is with him against him in his views once he gets a full head of steam and rips loose for a tor rent of words.

AviatOrs Start On World Tour

Croydon Eng, May 24-The Croy- don aerodrome, which is London's terminal for journeys by air to Paris and other continental points, was packed today with sightseers eager to witness the departure of Major w. T. Blake and his companions on their attempted 30,o00 miles flight around the world.
 Major Blake's associates in the ad- venture are Captain Norman MacMil- land and Lieutenant Colonel L. E. Broome.
 Brilliant sunshine, with a light breeze, made the weather conditions perfect for the take off. An official tone was given to the event by the presence of Major General Sir Will liam Brancker, director of civil avia- ton.
 The machine the aviators are using Is DH-9, capable of making 115 miles an hour. It has the latest equipment for comfort, and special attention has been paid to petrol sys- tems. A thorough test has been given the machine and it was taken up again today by Pilot MacMillan for the final spin prior to the flight which Is expected to last ninety days.
 The start was scheduled for one o'clock, the first stop being at Paris.
 Tomorrow the aviators expect to reach Lyons, Erance, and thence will fly to Rome and by successive stages through India, China, Japan, Alaska and the United States, crossing the Atlantic from New Foundland vio Greenland and Iceland.
