DYKE'S BARN
TAHLEQUAH,
HERE is no need of going
to Webster for the defini-
tion of a cigarette. Every-
body knows that It is a lit-
tle cigar. It is a btt of to-
bacco rolled up in a bit of
paper, and- made to look both attrac-
tive and harmless. It is a cigar in its
Infancy. In time, if the one who In-
dulges In cigarette smokjng lives long
enough. It will grow into a cigar. But
the weed done up in the fine style of
a cigarette fs not thought to be quite
so offensive and vulgar as when en-
Joyed in the form of a pure Havana or
a big black Concstoga, or a clay pipe.
It Is tobacco all the same, whether
held together by a leaf from its own
stem, or wrapped up in curl papers,
or crammed into the bowl of a meer-
schaum.
However, it Is not with cigarette
smoking that we are now concerned,
but with cigarette swearing. For there
Is a kind of profanity which bears the
same relatl'-i to the coarser sort of
I taking the >ta. "e of the Lord in vain
t that the tempting little cigarette does
to the full grown cigar. This, too, is
| the form of swearing which is most
j indulged In by the fair sex. It is not
often, fortunately, that one hears a
round, plump oath from the lips of a
woman. When one does. It is unut-
terably shocking, especially if it be
from the lips of a mother in the midst
of her children.
"Polite" Profanity.
But profanity akin to this loud-
mouthed and repulsive type, and
which suggests a very strong inclina-
tion to use the more emphatic words.
were it allowable to do so, is not un-
common in the conversation of large
numbers of our well-meaning and even
cultivated ladles. At every turn of
surprise In the talk that is going on,
on every little occasion when there
seems to be a call for protest, it is
"Good Lord!" "Good heavens!" "My
gracious!" and so o : through the list.
j Sometimes there is more boldness in
the expletive employed, and one
whose opinions on actions are not
satisfactory is denounced as a "blank
| idiot." Every one who hears the ex-
| pression knows exactly what the
] speaker wishes to say, and the soften-
■ ed substitute does not much relieve
I the situation; nor does the smile
' which goes round in the circle of
| listeners do much toward atoning for
! the suggested blasphemy.
Habit a Vicious One
Now there Is no need here of wan-
dering off into_wide ethical discus-
sions, and trying to fix the precise
measure or the comparative measure
of guilt in God's sight which there
may be In this or that or the other
form of profanity. It is enough to
say that the cigarette habit of swear- I
ing is not good. It is a mild type of
profanity; and because it is mild is
more frequently put In evidence by
women than men; but it is not good.
The atmosphere of a home which
Is filled with these explosives Is not a
wholesome one for children to breathe.
It is bad anywhere and everywhere.
It is Impossible to believe that a dis-
ciple of our Ixird can !>e quite so
spiritually minded, can live In quite so
close and vital a relationship with him
who made that startling deliverance
about our responsibility for even the
Idle words that we use, and be quite j _
so much like him in mind and aim GROCER SAYS FOOD IS CHEAPER

He asserts he has paid in cash or oth-
erwise liabilities amounting to $2,688,-
607.68. He concedes approved claims
against the bank of $133,804.15 and
shows that $606,667.28 is still due the
state bank deposit guaranty funo,
making a total of $708,471.43. In ad-
dition there are disputed liabilities of
$222,447.60 of which $210 Is claimed by

and the sacrifice Is sometimes so
heavy that we shrink back. If we
ask for health, for education, for
prosperity, we know that we must
work In the direction of our desire.
If we ask for spiritual gifts we rea-
lize that the same is true, but too
often when we plead for some special
blessing for those we love, for the
lifting ot a burden from their lives or
ours, for some charge that holds good
and happiness, we forget that its
granting will surely claim from us
some price of sacrifice or renuncia-
tion. Whatever our prayer, we needs
must nave a share in its answering—
not because of the Father's unwilling-
ness, but because of his love that
knows us through and through.
