BIOLOGISTS, who, in simpler language, are the
Abug-ologists, after microscopical1y observing the
habits and conduct of ants for years, bring US the in
teresting information that these busy little workers
in the humber world are by their own voluntary
action the most moral of all living creatures.
The ant, they tell lis, is so intelligent that we are
justified in trying to describe its existence by a kind
of allegorical comparison with human life.
Busy as are these minute little creatures, their
females are scrupulously clean. Several times each
day they better their appearance with combs and
brushes. The mothers are the only ones that are
allowed to eat all they want. All others, by their
established law, must abstain from over eating and
drinking.
Soldier ants protect both the young and those who
care for the young. The mother ant is treated with
all the Difference of an empress.
The ants limit their sleep to just that which is
their need of rest and they destroy the drone and all
those who would attempt to over-indulge in leisure
or luxury. -.
They have architects and engineers. They build
houses and bridges to conform with definite plans.
They have their agriculture and horticulture and
have been observed to domesticate as many as 5S4
different kinds of creatures
Wonderful is the story of the ant. Some of our
scientists who are better zoologists than sociologists
quote the old Hebrew saying of thousands of years
ago, Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her way"
and suggest that there is much in the ant the man
might we'll try to emulate.
Other scientists tell us to consider the elephant.

lxehandlqd ones
Ants, Eleph-
ants and Us.

The Hindoo tells US that he gets good work from
that giant creature only so long as he is good to it.
Should he abuse or offend il, he would lose the ele-
plants willingness to work and he might lose his
life by mourning the elephants ire. To appease the
elephant, the Hindoo always feeds it before he HIM
self partakes of food.
That gentleness and generosity do much to gain
good work, is the moral lesson the scientist hands to
us as the result of these observations.
But who wants to be either an elephant or an ant?
Who would want to emulate their ways, interesting
and perhaps intellectual as they appear to be?
The elephant has none of the generosity for which
the scientific observer pleads. The elephant says,
Feed me first or l am likely to get mad and kick the
d~aylights out of you" There is nothing in that sort
of a spirit worth emulating.
The ant is good to its own but it wars on every
other creature that it cannot subdue and use. There
is nothing so very big and magnanimous about that.
What is more, outside of the grotesque trick ele-
plants in the circus ring, no scientist has ever called
upon us to see or hear an animal symphony. nor have
they shown us an aniual-made picture or gracefully
formed statue II any one ever yet seen an ele-
plant pause in rapture before a gorgeous sunset?
What eye at the microscope has ever seen an ant
lay down its work upon its hill to bark to the song
of the lark?
Whatever are mans imperfections he is not only
the research student. the truth seeker, but what is
finer, he is. the great appreciation. To be able to
appreciate the wonders of the world-that in itself is
living the higher life.

Not Even skinned Milk"
Statistics tending to arouse the
farmer TO a feeling that he is not get
ting a square deal have recently been
put out by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace at Washington. In these
statistics Mr.. Wallace shows thar the
freight revenue per ton mile received
by the railroads in \1913 would buy
IA bushels of corn in Iowa, and in
1921 the revenue received by the rail-
same distance would buy 81 bushes
of corn. He shows that the price re-
ceived by mine owners for 9 ton of
coal in 1913 would buy "a bushels of
corn, while in July, 1922, the price re-
ceived by the coal mine owners for a
ton of ccaI would buy s.s bus 1els of
corn.
These figures naturally make the
farmers believe that the railroads
and the coal barons are getting all
the cream while the farmers are not
getting even enough SKINNED milk to
keep body and soul together.
But there are still oIher rlgdres that
make the farmers feel the union labor
worker may be getting some Of the
cream that is going to big business"
and also perhaps little of the farm
er's SKINNED milk.
Mr.. Wallace asserts that the aver
age earnings of the railroad workers
in 1913 would buy 1,492 bushels of
corn, while in 1921 the average rail-
road worker with his average income
could buy 4,112 bushels. In 1918
when a coal miner dug out a ton of
coal, Mr.. Wallace asserts. he earned
enough money to buy IL bushels of
corn in Iowa. In 1921 when this same
coal miner dug out a ton of coal, he
was able to buy with the money he
had earned 2.5 bushels of corn in
Iowa.
All of these figures, together with
the figures the farmers own bank
books show, are said to be arousing
them to a realization that the country

those who are in close touch with the

that something must be done some

country that will surpass anything

Killed in Line of Duty, Says
Official Army Report.
Civil Authorities Are Asked to
Reopen the Case.
NO ACT OF IMPROPER CONDUCT
New Evidence COntradicts
Statements of Judge Day.
Army Report Not Yet Approved
by Secretary Weeks.
(copvright. 1922, byL. N. ST.

Washington, Aug. 22. Lieutenant
Colonel Paul w. Beck, dashing army
aviator, whose death at the hands of
Judge Jean Day, Of Oklahoma City,
under sensational circumstances in
volving Days beautiful young wife,
was killed Tin line of duty" according
to the final official report of the in
vestigating board of the army officers,
IL was learned today
The conclusions of the board are
that there is no evidence worthy of
credence to show the slain officer was
guilty of any act rejecting upon his
honor.
New evidence was brought out at
the extended hearings held in Okla
homa City, the report states, which
tends to discredit explanations of the
jury. Judge Day testified before the
coroner's jury he came home and
found Beck attacking his wife. The
army officer was killed, Judge Day de-
ciared, by a shot from Days pistol.
which was discharged during the
struggle The shooting followed a gay
party at the Day home
AS a result of the verdict of the cor
oner's jury. the authorities declined to
prosecute BAY.
The location of the wounds on
Beck's body, considered in relation to
Days, version of the struggle, the re-
port says, convinced the board that it
was impossible for Colonel Beck to
nave met MS Oeatn IN the manner
described.
Action Depends on Weeks.
The report recommends the new
evidence be made available to the civil
authorities of<Oklahoma City with a
view to reopening the case. Action
now rests with Secretary of War
Weeks, who, it is assumed. will ap-
prove the report The secretary it
is understood, had not yet been able
to make a complete study of the re-
port.
In deciding that Beck met his death
Gin line Of duty" the board consid-
cred the following facts:
First, that Beck's presence in Okla
homa City was authorized, since he
was there on an official airplane
flight.
Second, that there was nothing inn
proper in his presence in the Day
home, since he was a formally invited
guest.
PLANTATION of the killing was discredit-
ed by the facts in the case by wit
nesses who testified before the board,
there is nothing to support the
charge of improper conduct on the
part of the slain officer, the report
declares. When approved by Secre-
tary Weeks, the report technically
clears the record of the dead officer
and enables his heirs to collect any

Hall Today.
Auditor Holds Up Voucher for
Clerks Overtime.

The vouchers for the payment of
overtime to members of the city
clerks office staff, for the extra time
on duty during the last ten days of
registration before the August 1 pri-
mary election, and for overtime on the
night of the election, have been held
up by C. c. KnowIton, city auditor. -
ut doesn't look to me to be lawful
to approve the vouchers for city en-
ployes whose salary (is-paid on a
monthly basis and who are sworn to
perform, the duties of the office. If
1 can get an order from the courts or
something else substantial to base
such action on, I'll be glad to approve
day.
1t has been intimated that several
attorneys are volunteering their serv-
ices to file the necessary suits to de-
termine whether or not the regularly
employed clerks in the office of the
city clerk shall draw overtime for
their work during the election, but ii
is not yet stated whether such a suit
will or will not be filed.
The amount involved is only a lit
tie more than $40
THE payment of overtime to clerks
in the city clerks office has been
made to my personal knowledge, ever
since 1906" Miss Eta Covell, city
were filed on the basis of the Same
salary paid to extra clerks who were
on duty during the same time. 1t was
my idea of saving money by putting
experienced workers on the job who
could handle. more registrations than
inexperienced workers. The vouchers
have never been turned down before"
