American people is being lifted to a

WOMEN IN CAGE

Only a few months ago a woman in Jersey, England, convicted of a minor offense, was publicly exhibit ed in an iron cage, in accordance with an ancient law.
 On the face of it, this seems in credible, but it is vouched for by a reputable journalist, who states that Sir William Venables-Vernon, bailiff of Jersey, announced the abolishment of the cage when the matter was prot to his attention.
 In many parts of the world today women are hibitually kept in a cage, so to speak. This does not refer to criminals in cells, but to women of many lands who are still held in re- straint through the old ideas of wo- mans inferiority.
 Rapid strides toward the emancipa- tion of women have been made in most civilized countries of late, espec- tally during the last decade, but they
  are still held in slavery-physical moral and intellectual-among many peoples.
 Even in our own land the double standard of morals is still tacitly ad- mitted. Men may retain their social standing in spite of violations of nor. al codes which women are supposed to observe or be subjected to social ostracism. The new freedom for wo men is only comparative and men still insist on literal interpretation of the word obey" as used in the marriage ceremony.
 But sometimes it works out the oth CT way around.

OIL TOWN WAS SAVED

When the oil field which support ed the town of Cement, Oklahoma, slumped through decreased produc- tion and low prices two years ago, it appeared that the place was doom ed.
 A few energetic and determined men refused to accept such a situa- ton and set about to make Cement an agricultural center, through the fostering of farming interests and cooperating with the rural people in every possible way.
 They met with unqualified suc- cess and today the town is more prosperous than ever, with every residence and business house occu- pied and more building in progress than at any time in five years.
 This is another illustration of the fact that prosperous agricultural community is the greatest asset any town can have. Industrial pay rolls are most desirable and should be sought diligently, but farming is still the solid and dependable re- source on which permanent prosper. ity of towns and small cities rests

 Borah is right. We are constant ly building up a greater and ever greater federal machine, with ex- banding departments and bureaus, to oppress the people and add to the tax burden.
 He might have added that the few activities not supervised by the federal government are regulated by multiplicity of state laws, The citizen is dominated, restricted, in spected, investigated, searched, tax ed and bedeviled at every turn.

BLUE AND GRAY TO MARCH


 At the next annual reunion of Confederate veterans to be held in Dallas, Texas, the c. A. R. of that city will march with the wear CTS of the gray in the official pa rade.
 This arrangement has been made at the suggestion of the Union vet erans, which received the instant and hearty approval of the Confederate commander, announcement of which was made by General Hampden Os- borne, adjutant general and chief of staff, at New Orleans few days ago.
 In a letter to the chairman of the Dallas reunion committee General Os- states ended in 1865. Since then the sons and grandsons of the partici- lantly side by side in the World war. If the G. A. R. will join us in the prof. fer of honors to our great ones who have died and the aged survivors with us still, it will be an announcement to the world of the qualification of pure Americanism. Such place in the line of march as you may assign the local c. A. R. contingent has my approval in advance"
 It will be an inspiring and touching sight to see the Blue and the Gray marching through the streets of Dal- las together.

ROOM AT THE TOP

Never was the saying there is plenty of room at the top" more true than it is today Never were the re wards of ability and industry so great The world is crying for skilled and conscientious workers in every field oi human endeavor
 This does not hold true merely in the higher walks of life, but in the humblest as well. Not only is su. perior efficiency diligently sought in the business and professional world but it is even more intensely desired in the wage earning classes.
 In every office, store, workshop and in all forms of outdoor employment we find a majority of careless, indif. ferent and incompetent workers. The capable, careful and conscientious en- ployee is always in demand.
 The worker who can see what is ne cessary to be done and do it without being told is most highly prized of all. One who can do what is to be done after being told only once is also a joy to the employer. But the mat tentive and stupid individual who must be told over and over again and then fails to perform is the one who turns the employers hair gray.
 No wage earner who is really com potent, willing and industrious need ever be out of a good job. There's plenty of room at the top."
