This and That
A. J. 0.
Correct pnnctuation spells a
lot. Take this example: Woman;
without her, man would be a sav-
age", slip the comma over one
word and it reads,"Woman; with
out her man, would be a sav-
age".
"A tight to the finish", as de-
clared by union leaders may
mean just what it says, but it
will not be a lasting finish In
other words this will not be the
last strike by the coal miners.
They may win the points they
are now seeking and may whip
the operators in line, but within
a few months the operators will
stage a come-back. During the
world war we often heard or read
"this will be the last war'but
it has not proven so.
ica it has been the last war but
look at the Greeks and Turkey,
and Spain in Morrocco. Com-
ing at the tirtie of year it has
come the coal miners strike will
cause less suffering than the
strike stage in the fall of 1919,
but never-the-less, it will be re-
tardant in business and will cause
much inconvenience to the pub-
lic. Congress should demand
that such disputes, where the
general welfare of the entire pub-
lic is at stake, be settled by ar-
bitration.

C. R. I. & P. Makes Record
The west bound train Monday
from Guthrie carried the largest
bunch |of passengers in several
weeks and the crew made a rec-
ord run on the portion of the
route from Seward to Cashion.
Passengers report that orders re-
ceived at Seward were for them
not to exceed seven miles per
hour— and jthey didn't. Jack
rabbit shooting attracted the at-
tention of the crew and passen-
gers, several bunnies falling vic-
tims to the unerring aim of—
well, we never heard just who did
the shooting, but they killed rab-
bits and got hung up in the fen-
ces while picking 'em up, The
train from Kingfisher beat the
west bound into Cashion a few
minutes and Ste /ens. the depot
proprietor and manager, was the
busiest man in town for a few
minutes. You'll have to hand
it to "Steve" tho, he got each
train out in it's proper direction
and without a tangle.

Cashion right on the dot Tues-
day morning as per schedule to

his schedule right up to the min-
ute, is right where he says he

snow to give your assesement,
you will find him right there
ready to give you a hearing. Bill
was assisted by S. A. Martin.

Keep your boys in school. It
will be bad to lose a credit or
more just because the boy desires
to go fishing. We realize spring
is here and the call to the fields
and river banks is great, but we
should help the boy stay in and
encourage him to make his cred-
its. If he stays out of school two
or three months, don't expect us
to give him credits.
