Peace? Why, even the thought of
an early armistice makes some
easily frightened fellows shiver.
They're so timid you might have
to draft them to get them to face the
peace.
It's just too bad. Maybe Wash-
ington should begin now to do some-
thing to build up peace morale; to
condition people for struggling on
through peacetimes. Maybe there
should be an OPI (Office of Peace In-
formation) created immediately to
keep the fidgety folks fully informed
of the dangers ahead.
The less danger they're in the
more they’re nervous about waking
up some morning and finding peace
staring them in the face.

To hear some people talk you
would think Sherman had said:
“Peace is hell."
Then, too, it may be that in view
of the meat shortage the exhibitors

The National Horse Show has been
called off this year. It was felt that
high hats are not necessary to
war effort.
A man had so little to worry about
that his chief concern was to get a
low auto license number?

For a life that knows no fear.

With a stein almost paid for—
And the final payment near.

Don’t be misled about circulation figures —THE
NEWS— guarantees more circulation in Pawhuska
than any two nenwspapers printed or circulated here.
Ask a business man how things
are and he replies: “Pretty good,
but I'm worried. The war could end
suddenly.” Ask your broker why the
market is weak and he says: “Don't
forget there’s a possibility of an ear-
ly peace.” Try to borrow $5 from a
friend making big money in an air-
plane factory, and he will freeze you
with a stern: "I've got to be mighty
careful. This war can’t last for-
ever."

can prove that. Tex Rickard could
tell you—if Tex was still around.
Tunncy had his chance to pick me—
but he named Tom Heeney, a game,
strong, short-armed fellow who
could neither box nor punch. I don’t
blame Tunncy, when he could get
by with it. The Tunncy-Heeney fight
drew around $500,000. A Tunney-
Sharkey fight would have passed a
million sure. But Tunney already
had his million. The stupid Sharkey
—and I never was smart—passed
up two chances to meet Tunney, two
million-dollar chances, when he was
my pigeon. Bums could beat me,
but Tunney couldn't.
“Now I'll give you the pay off,"
Sharkey said. “I was on some card
with Dempsey in Boston. Just a
show of some sort for charity. That
night I explained to Dempsey and
the crowd how I could have beaten
him in that first round in New York
by simply pushing him. ‘All 1 had
to do, Jack,’ I said, ‘was to give you
one push and you’d have fallen on
your face.’
" ‘Why didn't you?' Dempsey
asked with a grin. I didn't have an
answer. I'm just a dumb Lithu-
anian. They've all been too smart
for a dumb sailor.

1 Jack Sharkey gave
I me the best story
of a single round
I that I’ve ever heard
I from the ancient
‘ lore of the ring and
! the ropes.
"I was to meet
Jack Dempsey,”
Sharkey said, “in the summer of
1927; ten months after Tunney had
taken away Dempsey’s title. I’ve
' lost to many punks, but there were
always two men I knew I could beat.
One was Dempsey—the other was
Tunney. And I’m not kidding. You
know I didn’t have to meet Demp-
sey. I had the Tunncy match sewed
up with Rickard. I

stop this bum in a round—the first
round.’
The Famous Round
“There was more than a
dollars in the gate that
Sharkey said, “and I could
other two million with Tunney later
on. And I couldn’t see how I could
lose to either. Maybe some guy like
Risko—but not to these two.
“I’d been hearing so much about
Dempsey—the great champion—that
I got sore. I was even sorer when
Dempsey got a big hand and I was
booed. My first thought was to show
these punks how cockeyed they
were.
“Dempsey and I met in the middle
of the ring and after a few seconds
he cocked that left. 1 beat him to it.
I nailed him with a right smash on
the chin. I followed this with a left
hook to the chin and then I nailed
him with another right. His eyes
were glassy and rolling. The guy
was out. All I had to do then was
to give him a push. One more punch
and he would have been out for two
minutes. i
"But what docs the smart Sharkey
do? I stepped back and said to the
crowd—‘There's your punk cham-
pion, look at him! He's out in the
first round. He can't even get his
hands up.' And he couldn't. You
can cal) it anything you want to
call it. Stupidity, arrogance, crazi-
ness, dumbness, no head—they all
belong to me.
"Here I have Dempsey helpless
and ready for a half tap. And ahead
of Dempsey I have Tunney, one guy
I know I can beat—and so does Tun-
ney. And what do I do? Finish
off Dempsey who at the gong later
couldn’t even find his own corner?
Who had just had his brains knocked
out, with both knees buckling up?
No, the smart Sharkey has to put on
an act to show up his handlers and
the crowd that booed him. By that
time, Dempsey, who can recover
quicker than a wounded cat, as Tun-
ney found out, is able to grab me
•nd finish the round.”
Dempsey Dazed
"What happened after that?” I I
asked Sharkey.
"Dempsey was still dazed and
half gone for the next three rounds.
But he was a tough guy. He hit me
high and low, but I’m not complain-
ing about that. He had a terrific
body punch, and that didn’t help me
a lot. I was sore at myself for not
cleaning him out in the first round >
when I had him helpless. Most of
the time I got sorer at myself for
the dumb things I'd done than I ever
felt towards an opponent. I had no 1

LITTLE PIGS GO TO MARKET
Agriculture officials are staring
with bulging eyes at the telegrams
received from the livestock markets.
, The number of hogs killed in a sin-
gle day has passed the figure of
300.000, and is still going up.
November has already set an all-
time record in hog slaughter of
6,900,609 (federally inspected). De-
cember will go still higher. Cattle
slaughter also set a record in No-
vember, but is now tapering off. Not
so with hogs.
Nothing like this has ever hap-
pened in the history of the world.
Nature, plus a low ceiling price on
corn and the delay in putting a ceil-
ing price on hogs, is now scatter-
ing pork all over the landscape. This
will continue through January, Feb-
ruary, and into the month of March.
In spite of the pork flood, however,
there is no surplus, and officials in-
sist that there must be no “holiday”
from rationing. OPA and War Food
administration agree on this. They I
have had many differences in the
past, but they stand together on the
matter of red points.
Fact is, they have debated remov-
ing pork from rationing, but ran
into so much prospective grief that
they gave it up. For if housewives
could buy pork without stamps, they
would use their stamps for beef and
butter, which are still short. Or if
OPA tied the points to the product,
making separate stamps for pork,
others for beef, and others for but-
ter, etc., there would be outcries
from different groups, such as Jew-
ish people, who ban pork.
Conclusion is that the ration books
must be left alone, and the only way
to solve the bounty problem is to
make fedeial purchases heavier and '
move them more rapidly.
Army purchases of beef were ex-
tremely heavy in the beef months
of September through November. To-
day, Lend Lease purchases of pork
are growing heavy and will hold up
through the "hog run" now flooding
the market.
But this does not always take the
meat out of storage. Lend Lease
shipments to Russia can be made
only when Russia is ready to eat
the pork, since they have no storage I
space. Britain, on the other hand, |
can store pork, and is taking ship- ■
ments faster than the rate of use.
With live stock production high, 1
and submarine sinkings low, more
beef and pork are getting to Allied *
fighting forces overseas than ever
before.
WHY WE ARE WINNING—
Up to new the full story of the development and production
Of 100 octane aviation gasoline has been a military secret. But
Ht last some breathtaking statistics are being released. Follow-
ing are a few of them:
I .One-thousand 4-engine bombers use 1,800,000 gallons
of 100 octane gasoline on a 6-hour mission.
2. In January, 1942, only 22 refineries were producing 100
octane gasoline or components of 100 octane. There are now
"orc than 100.
3. United States and Caribbean refiners are supplying 88
• itr cent of the 100 octane gasoline used by the United Nations.
I. To train one pilot requires consumption of 12.500 gal-
ions of aviation gasoline.
5. One thousand 4-engine bombers, flying to an objective
1,000 miles away, and using 100 octane gasoline, can carry
u.OOO.IMN) more pounds of bombs than could be carried if ordi-
nary pre-war aviation gasoline was used.
6. 100-octane gasoline was specifically developed for com-
• >at use.
7. 100 octane gasoline was a laboratory curosity as re-
ently as 1933, at which time its cost would have been $16 a
.’alien. The first 100 octane sale, made to the Army in 1934,
was at $2 a gallon. Today 100 octane gasoline is being bought
by the government at less thas 15 cents a gallon.
These are a few of the achievements of a single industry
Jn wartime America. The cold figures describe better than
flowing phrases the value of unrestricted individual initiative;
the kind that built the oil industry and now brings victory
within our grasp.
THE ROBBER! .. He Overcharged Me
By 150th of a Cent
B 1,50th of a cent a glass is the cost of
advertising one of America’s most popular soft drinks,
cent per package is the average cost for cigarette
advertising.
Doesn't it seem ridiculous then when anyone says
that he is being over-charged because of advertising?
Actually, advertising saves people a lot of money, be-
cause it creates mass demand—and mass production
always leads to lower prices. That l|50th of a cent
advertising cost makes it possible to sell a 10 cent
soft drink for 5 cents.

MORE STRIKES AHEAD
There are a lot more strikes in I
the country than the public is aware
of. The government has abandoned
the policy of regular announcements
of the number of strikes and the
number of man-hours lost. Thus the
strikes do not get into the news-
papers.
But here are some figures which
reveal that the no-strike pledge of
labor organizations is not very ef-
fective.
In November alone, there were 120 '
strikes. The December figure will
be only slightly lower. In the week I
before Christmas, 91,000 man-days
were lost in plants engaged in war -
production. Two days before Christ- =
mas, 21,000 people were out on
strike, and a number of critical
items were behind schedule.
Some of the strikes have no rela-
tion to wages. Take for example
the strike which Washington officials
refer to as "the Baltimore back-
house strike." The Western Electric
plants at Baltimore are producing
such highly important items as ma- I
rine cables and radar wire. But I
white workers went on strike be- I
cause white and colored workers did
not have separate toilet facilities.
The war department was obliged I
to step in last week and take over |
the plants—solely because of toilet
trouble. Workers began coming back 1
slowly, but four days after the plants !
were taken over, over half the 1
workers were still out.
Unfortunately, there is every prob-
ability that strikes will increase,
rather than decrease in the future.
Next in line demanding wage in-
creases will be aircraft, steel and
shipyard workers. John L. Lewis'
victory broke the line, has stimu-
lated demands for increases in many
industries.
After the President yielded to
Lewis, George Harrison, railroad
brotherhoods chief, visited the White
House and said: "For Gawd's sake,
you give it to your enemies, why
not to your friends?”
