LET'S KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

Mr.. Alvin Rucker. who IN writing to the okla
homan from North Dakota regarding the things
the noupartisan league did to that unhappy
commonwealth, says the state-owned bank Of
North Dakota brought about financial crash,
We are not sufficiently familiar with the
Dakota situation and record to either affirm
or deny the statement, It Is probably true,
Mr., Rucker IS on the ground and would not
make the statement, we think, unless the facts
Justify. Let us accept It as fact that the
state-ownod bank OF tho lcoEucrs in North Da-
6ota did bring on bank crash,
Is It not also true that the state-admlnistered

result in n crash he will be no worse than
those who are trenziedY opposing him.
OF course In a sense the controversy between
Walton and the esteemed Oklahoman and its
bourbon machine candidates IS none of The

In selecting meat for the stews,
get one of the cheaper cuts, as the
very slow cooking required to bring
out the flavor of the meat. renders
tough meat tender. Cook stews just
below the boiling point. This may
be done in fireless cooker or over
the simmering burner OF the gas
range. In this way the cost OF the
fuel does not materially increase
the cost of the meat.
The usual seasoning for stews are
paprika. salt and pepper. with cell
cry salt when fresh celery is not
used.
All measurements are level, the
half-pint measuring cup, and the
regulation teaspoon and tablespoon
being used.
