PARENTS SAY
BABY IS TOO
MUCH BOTHER

PONCA CITY, Okla, Dec. %. -
A chubby, healthy little baby boy
little more than two weeks old, is
heing offered for adoption here as
"a belated Christmas present by a
father and mother who feel that y
ably is simply too much bother just
at present.
Bob Jones, the father, and Mrs.
Oracle Jones, the mother, are a
greed that they must give the baby
away, and are asking that someone
who wants a slightly late Christ
mas present come and take it.
"Wc aren's financially able to
take care of it, and besides we do
net want Il baby now," says Mrs.
Jones.
"We want to see more of the
world, and we have no business with
a Dabv because it would prevent us
from going the places we want to
&C" says Mr.. Jones.
1--WE couldn t take care of n
baby and see all the states in tn"
Union, and that is our intention.
/ have Travelled in all but five o.
the states in the Union and my wife
has only been in Oklahoma and Tex
rs. | want to see the other five
states and she wants to go with me,
and | don t blame her.
Accordingly, since the round-eyed
youngster who surveys the world
from crib at the Ponca City hos
pital, thumb contemplatively in
mouth, is more or less in the way,
he is to be given away.
It's the holiday season, and the
spirit of giving is always infectious.
Want to Travel
II signed Il slip giving the baby
away says Mrs. Jones. 81 II
sign the adoption papers just as
soon as anybody takes him. We
feel almost sure that someone will
want him, and we might keep him
ourselves if we were several years
older and ready to settle down. You
see, we are not wanting to settle
down and live in one place, and If
we should take the baby along with
Us he might catch pneumonia, and
then it would just be too bad. d"

AUTOS THE BAROMETER

Mercantile and industrial leaders of the country
unusually optimistic the business outlook for
1928 according to statements made by nearly dozen
men who are in close touch with what is known as
'big business
One of the conditions which this optimism is
based the production of the Ford No less
parsonage than the head of the General Motors Cor
pcration-which might be construed the chief rival
of the Ford Company-declares that with the Ford
plants working at full capacity again. the entire auto
motive industry will be benefited.
Certain it is that with the Ford Company producing
their models in quantity, other manufacturers will
be putting forth every effort meet the Ford compe
ttion. The saturaton point in automobile production
has not been reached. The demand increases each
year rather than diminshes With this condition be-
ing true, the many businesses dependent upon the
tomobile will enjoy similar activity in their various
fields.
Steel makers, copper production, the oil market all
will feel the results of the prosperity in the automo
bile business Even railroad heads and farm leaders
predict better business in 1928. These two latter
classes declare their prosperity will depend somewhat
upon the passage of relief legislation, but they anti
cpate much better returns than they received this
year.
Steel and railroad stocks used to be the barometers
which business conditions were judged. They are
fast giving way to the automobile, and if the outlook
in this field is bright the leaders who should
know assert it is there is doubt that the predictions
of "big business will be fulfilled.

CENSORED MUSIC

recent Italian edict, said to be aimed at American
jazz requires that half of any musical program must
be made up of Italian music.
We needn't sneer at this edict. During the war
German music pretty widely banned in
country although it back into favor again soon.
Furthermore jazz is jazz and thoughtful person
hardly blame a foreign dictator for trying to stem
the American Jazz tide somehow.
Great music, however in addition to expressing
tain national moods and characteristics has unvers
