affiIiation with the federation" j. J.
Maloney, of Oklahoma City, here rep
resenting the carpenters information

The trades council put the carpen-
ters local on the unfair list for re-
fusa1 to affiliate with it and because
it charged carpenters were working
on the gymnasium building at the
State Manual Training normal with
hodcarriers who are not members OF
the union of that craft. Members OF
all othAr building trades unions nave
been pulled off jobs on which carpen-
tiers were working.

a wage award by the industrial coart,
based on the promise that the court is
constitutional, while the American

Republic county, and now filling his
first term as sheriff in Des Moines,
Iowa, has fatty refused to return for

The reason given is because of the
worry and anxiety connected with it.
He would prefer to be pastor of a

THIS is very unfair on the part

THE installment house took II
back. and he was out all the
money she had paid In on 1t.
THE tightest guy In the world
is the bird who lent his girl
$500 to buy the engagement ring
and then charged her 10 per cent
interest on the loan.
He couldn't show up at the

ONE dame was very naughty

fifty-dollar diamond. 1t was all
right for her to be cold. but there
was no reason for her being stone
cold.
IT'S better to have a man give

LESS HUNTING

For number of weeks this pa
per has carried a large number of
''No Hunting" notices. The most
Of these people whose names are
attached to the notices do not pro-
hibt hunting because they are
cranky, but because they have the
very best of reasons. why they do
not want hunting or trapping on
their premises. For one thing, live
stock that has been quiet and tame,
often becomes the very opposite af-
ter being scared by guns or dogs.
Land owners should not have to
have published at an expense,
warnings against hunting or trap
ping. and because some have not,
il is no indication that they permit
bunting on their places. Whether
notices have been published or not,
no one should take it for granted
that he can go on some one else's
land and hunt. Better always get
permission from the owner, or ten
ant.

A BIT MORE SPEED PLEASE

Last week we received country
correspondence and other news
items. several hours after the pa
pers were all off the press. In fact
there is scarcely week that such
things do not happen. No one regrets
it more than we do, to have such
things occur, and it is no fault of
ours that they do. Correspondence
should reach us not later than Tues
day evening, or Wednesday morn
ing at the very latest,-earlier II
possible. If some news breaks at
ter that time, use the telephone,
since if mailed there are chances
that the correspondence will not be
in our hands in time.

LOOKING AT OHIO

We have often wondered how 1T
would seem to be outside "our own
Ohio" and so TO speak '1Ook in. y
Perhaps as a state we are not so
much talked about by outsiders as
some of us may want to think-on
the other hand perhaps more. Ohio
seems to do things sort of it's own
way, which is often different from
the way they are done in most 9th
er states Whenever a presidential
candidate is 10 be nominated, in
either party, Ohio's fayorite sons
are always given very careful
look over, with the result that so
frequently are they elected that
Ohio has furnished more presidents
than any other state. In the cleo
tion last week on the wet and dry
proposition Ohio did exactly oppo-
site to what all other populous
states did where the wet and dry
proposition was an issue, that was
TO vote dry by big majority. The
other big states voted wet by equal
ly as large, if not larger, majority.
Another feature of the late election
in this state that stands out differ
ent from that in most states, is the
manner in which the state ticket
was scratched. The time is past
when the most of the voters OF
Ohio make a single X under a par
ty emblem. Every candidate is
given careful look over, as was
evidenced in the election last week
Note that a governor of one party
was elected; a United States sena
tor, one Of the most capable in the
U. S. on the same ticket, was de-
cisively defeated A Lieutenant
governor of the same party as the
governor was elected; all the other
state officers Of the opposite party
were chosen by big majorities; and
TO keep things still more different
an independent was elected Judge
of the supreme court-and at thai
a woman, the first on record in the
union.
The latter is perhaps the feature
that stands out as the most promi
nent of the election of any state
