$300 a day for shockers to $600 a
day for atackers and experienced engi-

Light Company Loses Fight
The prayer of the Oklahoma Gas
and Electric company for a writ for
prohibition against the corporation
commission’s order reducing electrio
rates from 12 to 10 cents a kilowat
hour was denied by the supreme
court
The rate which Campbell Russell
chairman of the corporation commis-
sion declared will save the average
consumer in Oklahoma City 50 cente
a month will go Into effect as soon
as the supreme court has filed its or-
der with the supreme court clerk
The decision followed arguments
before the supreme court by attorneys
for electric company and the corpora-
tion Commission Whether the com-
pany will appeal on the merits of the
order is not known but Russell was
inclined to doubt that such action
would be taken
The plea for the writ of prohibition
questions the right of the corporation
commission to make the order The
electric company can still appeal on
the merits of its case

URGE SETTLEMENT OF DIS-
PUTES BY ARBITRATION
IT IS STATED
HAS NO FEaIFIAPS STAND
Australian Premier William Morris
Hughs Says it I ‘Essential For
U 8 Canada and Australia to
Reach Full Understanding
London — "Civilization could not tol-
erate an armed conflict between the
United States and Japan over- Yap
The dispute should be referred to an
International tribunal of the league of
the league of nations or some such
body" - - - -v
So declared William Morris Hughes
iremier of Australia In a special In-
terview with Universal Service on the
problems of the Pacific ’
"Yap is merely a barren rock in the
pacific” the premier said "Neither
of the disputants claims possession to
ths exclusion of other powers
Monroe Dootrlne Not Applicable
"It Is essentially a question for ar-
bitration The Monroe doctrine does
not operate in this case as it would
if the territory were a' part of the
American continent The Alabama
claims the Behring sea and Alaskan
boundary questions were much mors
important than Yap" but they were
all settled successfully by arbitra-
tion’’ Premier Hughes declined to express
an opinion on the merits of the con-
flicting viewpoints of the United
States snd Japan but "In th inter?
eats of historical accuracy’’ he said:
Wilen-Mad No Reservation
’’I was seated s few feet from
President Wilson at Versallss when
the mandate awards were announced
He entered no reservation to the de-
cision affecting Yap The only man-
dat in feuspense ’ was that over
Neurau Island which the British Im-
perial delegates were left to settle a-
mong themselves"
Th premier expressed the hope
that the Anglo-Japanese treaty would
be renewed but with full regard for
American sentiment
"Partly as a result of the-war—
partly owing to the opening of the
'Panama Canal — the greatest world
problems have shifted to the Pacific”
Hughes continued "The greatest
mass of the world’s population Jives
in the east and in the states border-
ing the Pacific -
East la Not Feared
"Personally I do not fear what is
hidden In the womb of the east I do
not take the alarmist view of eastern
problems Nevertheless it is the duty
of every statesman to recognise the
enormous potentialities for good and
evil in the progressive millions which
form the modern eastern races This
Is especially so sine the indutsrial
development of China snd Japan bas
sowed th seeds of unrest
"The danger that Europe faced
from a handful of German intriguers
was trifling compared with the possi-
bilities of danger from the renascent
millions in the east I therefore hold
that It Is essential for America Aus-
tralia and Canada to achieve a com-
plete unity In their alms and policies
In all Pacific questions
Should Maroh Together
“We should be careful to continue
to walk together and to do nothing to
force the eastern and western racos
to march along divergent paths The
eastern races are different from the
western races but they are not neces-
sarily inferior Australia does not re-
gard the Japanese as inferior hut as
a raoe apart with their own ideal! It
Is not desirable for America Canada
and Austrtla to adopt a policy of
aloof superiority towards Japan”

BAD HABITS
OU would be a much more
agreeable man" observed the ’
professor "If you would abandon the -
disgusting tobacco habit Your aroma ’
taints the breeze- to such an extent'
that 1 know you are coming before
I can see you"
“I’m glad to
hear that” said '
the low-browed u
man “Some peo- -pie
go to great
expense engaging
advance agents
but I never be-
lieved In useless
extravagance If
a ten cent pack-
age of tobacco-
will do as good
service as a high
salaried advance- -
agent I’d be fool-
ish to keep the ten cents
“People are always asking me why
I don’t quit tobacco and I’ve always
Dotlced that the people who regard
my little innocent habit with disgust
have worse ones of their own Why
don’t you quit wearing sldewh Iskers i
when you must know that they jar
the nerves of the fastidious and make
you look like something that should
be In a museum? What sense Is there
In wearing sideboards? I’d be the
Inst to speak slightingly of an infirm-
ity or deformity If you had a game
leg or wry neck my heart would be
full of sympathy for you Such afflic-
tions should not be mocked or held)
up to scorn by any man but nobody
needs to wearsidewliiskers It’s some-
thing that can easily be helped You
shouldn’t make caustic remarks about
the tobacco habit until you have had:
those fire escapes removed
"Old Doolittle asks me about three
times a week what pleasure I find Im
using tobacco I have explained the
matter to him repeatedly but nothing:
I say seems to make any Impression
on him He clings to the belief that -smoking
Is on a level with robbing a t
church or defrauding a wldoy
“tie doesn't use tobacco but he ha® '
about every other bad habit you cauv
think of When It comes to spoiling
the truth he could give cards and-
spades to the whole Ananias family
I try to be reasonably truthful I never
spring a fish Btory unless it will serve-
a good purpose But Doolittle will
go to all sorts of trouble to hand you
a falsehood’ If he says he has the
toothache you may rest assured it’®
a sprained ankle that’s bothering him
I contend that It's worse to sit ou
the truth and hold it down than it 1®
to load a good old briar and blow out
a ’few reams of smoke
“Aunt Julia Is always lecturing me
about the tobacco habit I have said
It a hundred times and I say It again
that my aunt Is all wool and a yard
wide and you would travel fur oef ore-
finding a better female but if you
think she has no bad habits you have
another guess coming Two or three
years ago she read some English so-'
clety novels Those stories are full
of tea parties A man reading them
wouid think the Britishers spent all
their time at tea fights -“Aunt
Julia thlnkf that anything
British is entirely proper and she got -the
Idea that you can’t be fashionable
unless you consume a certain amount
of tea So she blew herself for the
herb and began drinking it At first ’
she said it tasted like colic medicine
but she persevered and now she’s the
champion middle weight tea drinker
of this burg r won’t say anything
about the money it costs She insist®
upon having imported tea and won’t
be satisfied with any home grown sub-
stitutes although sage tea Is far bet-
ter and costs next to nothing
“She gets on a tea Jag-every time
she haa company and then for two or
three days she has a hangover and her
nerves are a sight to be seen and I -just
wish you had te live in the same
bouse with her at such times Theo
you would be willing to admit that
there are worse things than smoking’'
“Talking for instance" sighed the
professor
Virgin Islands Export 8ugar
The most Important agriculture ’in
the Virgin islands is sugar of which
approximately ten thousand tons wa
exported In 1919 In 1919 the govern -ment
succeeded in opening the Porte
Rican market to cattle from the is-
lands About $30000 worth of cattle
were exported and it la thought that
the cattle-raising industry will eventu-
ally become an important one Expor-
tation of cattle to Porto Rico formerly
was prohibited on the ground that the
Virgin Islands were in the tick-infested
area
