"Lei's Make Oklahoma
Republican in 1916."
For President,
CHAULES E. HUGHES.
For Vice President,
CHAULES \V. FAIRBANKS.
Pershing lias not jet received
orders to vacate Mexico, except
from Carlanza and other irre-
sponsible fellows.
The best joke of the campaign
is that Editor Kidd actually lie
lieves that the people of this dis-
trict want hi in in congress. It
is to laugh!
Take your pencil to the voting
booth Tuesday and scratch out
those words, "For the Amend-
ment." Kill that rotten literacy
amendment.
The democrats are shaking ev-
ery bush to get the vot-t s in the
primaries. Republicans are lay-
ing low and doing a lot of quiet
work that will show later.
The trouble on the Mexican
bol der is not over and war may
f pop loose any minute. The Mex-
icans ure continually raiding on
this side, many of them taking
great chances for food.
Watch out for crookedness at
the primaries nextTuesday. The
Bob Williams machine sees ruin
staring them in the lace and will
do any kind of crookness to put
their amendments over.
There is little choice for sher-
iff in the republican primaries.
Both Mr. Hunt and Mr. Chron-
icler are cleun, able men, and
well qualified to handle the office
as it shud be run. You can't
make a mistake in voting for
either one.
/Inasmuch as it is not c«itain
that the republican county tick-
et will all be elected we urge the
democrats to vot at the primar-
ies for their cleanest and best
men. Let's have no candidate
on either ticket that has a stain
on his escutcheon — whatever
that is Wherever you find a
uian trying for office that dout
deserve and cant have your full
confidence, turn him down. Let
merit stand out above party.
OLD SUNOS ASKED FOR
Navajn.
Down on the sand bills of New
Mexico there lives an Indian
inaid.
Slip's one of the tribe lliey call
theNavij", face of a copier
shade;
And every evening there was i
coon who came his love to ph ad
There by the silvery light of the
moon he'd help her atling hei
beads,
And when they wt re ^11 alone, to
her he wild softly coon:
Choris:
Naya, Nm\m, m.V Naviij , I have ;>
love for you that will grow;
If you'll have a coon for a beau.
I'll have a Navajo.
This Indian maiden told the col-
ored man she wanted lots to
w ear,
Laces and blankets and a pow-
der can, jewels and pipe stone
rare
You bring ine fea1 hers, dear,
from the store. He answered
have.no fear;
I'll bring you feather.-, eli ar, by
the score, if there are chickens
near.
With joy then the maiden sight d
when to her once more he cried
Nava, Nava, my Navajo, I have a
love for you that will grow;
If you'll ha e a coon for a beau,
I'll have a Navajo.

"The Fan^ritans stood closo togeth-
er to prevent the Mahometan specta-
tors. who delight to torment them,
from snatching even a bit of wool,
which would remain over and thus
cause them to break the command,
Ye shalljet nothing of it remain until
the morning,'" says a writer in the
Christian Ilcrald.
"After cleansing the lambs they re-
moved a front leg of each, and these
were set apart as the priest's portion.
A long wooden polo was then threaded
through each of the prepared lambs,
and was carried thus to the pit near-
by, wherein a largo fire, which had
been kindled early in the evening, had
burned down, leaving a bed of red-hot
coals at the bottom. The poles, pro-
tected by metal at the lower end. were
stuck into this bed of coals, being long
enough to reach to the top of the pit,
the lam 1)3 thus suspended about half
way up. A matting was placed over
the mouth of the pit. which in turn
was covered with earth, making a sort
of improvised oven, for the law de-
mands that 'they be roast with fire,
not sodden with water.'
"The sheep were left to roast until
midnight—the appointed hour—and all
but the guards retired to their tents
during the interval.
"Beir.g the guests of the Kahin, we
went to his tent, and he edified us by
reading the various laws in Leviticus
concerning the sacrifices, besides the
chapter which gives the narrative of
the first Passover."
EYES TUO MUCH NEGLECTED
Residents of Cities, in the Aggregate,
Are the Chief Offenders, for
Various Reasons.
Thn farmer at work in Ills fields all
day long has much better eycslRht
than the city resident. Farmers, as a
rule, have no need of artificial aid to
the eyes until old ago comes upon
them.
On the farm the eyes receive more
rest than in the city, because they
work at more natural angles. The
farmer's work is not right up under
his nose. In cases of most city peo-
ple their work is over books or ma-
chines, and they have a habit of stoop-
ing over it.
This affects tho eyes so that glasses
are necessary for relief. Nine-tenths
of the pcoplo who are suffering from
headaches and who wonder what the
trouble is can blame them on the treat-
ment they give their eyes. Not enough
city pcoplo wear glasses. Perhaps one
in fifty wears glasses where the av-
erage should be about ono in every ton.
Children are affected in this way.
Most children lean over their desks
and have their eyes close to their
books. Teachers should prevent them
from doing this. Where children are
forced to wear glasses it is not neces-
sary that they should have to wear
them all the time. When the children
are at play they ought, in most cases,
to be allowed to go without their
glasses.

MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK.
Cultivating Beauty.
If the busy housewife can spare an
hour or so each day in the exercise
necessary to retain her youth and
beauty, all well and good. Hut if not
each daily task can bo utilized to im-
prove some part of the body. Dash-
ing cold water, followed by hard rub-
bing. tones up the skin and prevents
colds, Improves the circulation and
takes no more time than a languid rub
with a wash cloth. Even dressing can
be made useful in this respect when
the housewife leans down to button
her shoes. The knees should be kept
rigid and the bending should be en-
tirely at the waist. Instead of sitting
to dress the hair, hang the mirror at
a convenient height and as you put
in the pins rise and fall slowly on the
toes, keeping the chest well up. This
strengthens the back and ankles to a
great extent.
If the county couit8 are ab-
olished the judiciary system
will be disjointed; more laws will
have to be enacted and new
experiments made, for all know
that the district j'idge could not
take the place of chairman of the
insanity loard or chairman of
the county excise board, when
the district judge might reside
in anotner county, and said
board in his district might meet
on the same day. Many other
anomalies wud arise. Vote to
keep the courts us they aie.

Great Waste of Ink.
He entered the West hotel, a fine,
courtly southern gentleman, very af-
fable and genial, says the Minneapolis
Tribune. And this is what he wrote
on the register.
"Hinton Graves Lee, resident In Au-
gusta. Ga„ prior to February 1, and in
Georgia state since 1852, now resident
at Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City,
Kan."
CI ' i A. D. Hoin and A. M. Shartin
looked it over and had a whispered
consultntlon.
"Think of it," said Hein. "Why,
tho ink firm could afford to pay the
traveling expenses and a good salary
to Mr. Lee. If that liablt ever spreads,
tliero wouldn't be ink enough in the
t'nited States to go around."
Quite a numberof Talihir.aites !
attended a meeting at Muse h, t >
Saturday, at which time .). H. i
Cruthis elucidated some of the'
inconsistencies of our democrat-
ic legislation.
Paper and Ink for Our Money.
In the manufacture and printing of
tho paper money of the l:nited States
it Is necessary thai there shall be im-
ported materials from various parts or
the world. A part of the paper fiber,
for instance, is linen rag from the
Orient. The silk that furnishes the
strands that are run through the pa-
per as a safeguard against counter-
feiting comes from China or from
Italy. The blue ink contains cobalt
from Canada or Germany. The black
ink is said to he made at Niagara
^'alls from acetylene gas Bmoke; and
the greater part of tho green ink is
made with white zinc sulphite, de-
rived from German sources. The red
color In tho seal is obtained from a
I 'gment Imported from Central Amer-
ica.
of retniler or manufacturer except us
they affect the consumer. There is
great need thnt the woman consumer,
who spends most of the family income
for articles used in the home, should
be able to buy With the least extravo-
Kance, the least Inefficiency and the
least waste. I believe that a uni-
form price on an identified article is
one of the chief means by which this
most desired end can be obtained."
Mrs. Frederick declared that the
passage of the Stephens-Ashurst bill
will result in greater household effi-
ciency In buying for the following
reasons:
First, it will help the consumer
establish a standard in all pur-
chasing.
Second, it will guarantee to the
consumer a continuance of those
standards once they are estab-
lished.
Third, it will give a wider dis-
tribution to more kinds of prod-
ucts that the consumer daily
buys.
Fourth, it will save the consum-
er's money because the fixed price
will guarantee a permanent, de-
pendable supply of articles.
Fifth, ii will be especially help-
ful to farm women and small town
consumers who are now victims
of discrimination.
Sixth, it will make it possible
for the •homemaker to practice
more efficient and less wasteful
buying methods.
Seventh, it will guarantee to the
consumer that the goods which
she buys are made under honor-
able standards of manufacture,
fair pay and sanitary conditions.
In her nrgument for Identified ar-
ticles Mrs. Frederick said It was nd-
mltted that cut prices tend to drive
such articles from the market and
she was merely showing the interest
Hint the consumer has In having ar-
ticles she buys so marked und brand-
ed that they can be identified.
"Suppose, for the sake of argument,
thnt there is no such thing ns nn
identified article," said Mrs. Fred-
erick. "If there is no means of identi-
fying, say, n pound of butler or n
pair of hosiery, then every purchase
of one of those necessities becomes
an experiment. In each case I must
make a test which takes time, trouble
and money nnd which is worthless in
the end because, should I find the
article satisfactory, I can't be certain
of getting the same thing again; nnd
If it Is unsatisfactory I can't be cer-
tain of avoiding it. I do not see how
you can have u standard quality with-
out a standard price. The trade mark
on an article, the approved standard
price and standard quality, protect
Ihe consumer because they are n
guarantee that the manufacturer will
continue that standard.
'Trice juggling destroys the stand-
ard which manufacturers have set
and tempts them—sometimes almost
forces them to lower tlie quality.
Wliut hi'.'iitivc can a manufacturer
have-to keep up a high standard of
^uuiiiy if the price Is constantly cut."
UN EXPERT IK

MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK SAYS
IT WILL AID CONSUMERS.
INSURES STANDARD QUALITY
Consumers in Small Towns and Rural
Communities Are Victims of Dis>
crimination by Big Store Methods,
Which Encouragc Substitution of
Unidentified Goods at High Figures.
Mrs. Christine Frederick, household
efficiency expert and consulting house-
hold editor of the Ladies' iiomejour-
nul, the New York Evening Sun, Suc-
cessful Furmlug, and various other
publications, recently appeared before
the Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives in Washington In support
of fhe Stephens-Ashurst bill. This
measure, according to its title, Is de-
signed "To protect the public against
dishonest advertising und false pre-
tenses in merchandising."
Tho bill will legalize standard, unl
form prices and prevent price cutting
of trade marked goods by big city
stores for the purpose of giTing tho
false Impression thnt all their other
articles are proportionately low.
Price cutting is merely bait to luro
customers so that articles of inferior
merit may be substituted at high
prkes.
"I appear before the committee
pure'y in the Interest of the con<
si-jier," said Mrs. Frederick, "and I

———
To the American Public:
Do you believe in arbitration or indu8- '
trial warfare?
The train employes on all the railroadi
are voting whether they will give their leaden
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for a 100
million dollar wage increase.
The railroads are in the public service—
your service. This army of employes is in
the public service—your service.
You pay for rail transportation 3 billion
dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employes.
On all the Western railroads in 191l5, seventy-five per cent of th«
train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and averaga
-of all) as shown by the pay rolls—

A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service (less i$han
one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5*per
cent advance in. all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustee!
for the public, have no right to place thil
burden on the/cost of transportation to you
without a clea/r mandate from a public tri-
bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have proposed the settle-
ment of this 'controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer-
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion. This offer has been refused by th«
employes' representatives.
Shall a nation-wide strike or an
investigation under the Gov-
ernment determine this issue?
