A QUAINT COMPARISON
Last week the county council ot
Defense acting upon the case of
Mr George Fell who refused to
buy Liberty Bonds announcel he
would be boycotted He la a marked
man and local business people have
been issued their instructions about
their treatment of him The re-
port has It that Mr Fell has re-
fused to buy any sort of war bonds
nor has he contributed anything
to any of the war work campaigns
However there Is one privilege
which was extended in full to Mr
Fell While refusing to uphold bis
president with bis cash he waa el
lowed to uphold him with his vote
and Mr Fell enjoyed on Tuesday
all the rights of the American male
citizen He was allowed to go to
the polls and cast his ballot Prob-
ably no man would have challenged
bis right While not deserving the
honor he is still considered an
American citizen at the polls
Mrs Riley Shutt of this city
whose husband died two years ago
leaving her with a young son and
a considerable estate has purchaseu
$800000 worth of Liberty Bonds
She has belped with Red Cross work
and given generously to all chart
ties She has a son who Is too young
to vote and she has the responsi-
bility ot guiding his young mind
and of attending to his financial
affairs Mrs Shutt who deserves
the privilege was not allowed to
vote Tuesday not because she was
not a patriotic American but be-
cause she was a woman
We have no doubt that Mr Fell
went to the polls on Tuesday and
voted against the suffrage amend-
ment probably reasoning In his
mind that women have no business
with the ballot '
Friend Husband has charge of all
the cash in the family A woman
should demand a certain amount of
the family funds for herself she
earns and deserves them and one
thing Is certain she will not be lia-
ble to get them handed to her un-
less she asks for them Sneaking
into Hubby’s pockets Is a mighty
poor way to go after the money
she earns
JUSTLY MERITED
A woman in Oklahoma City is
suelng her husband for divorce be-
cause he struck her while she was
pilfering his pockets There is no
doubt that the woman deserved to
be slapped for any wife who baa
so little self respect that she deems
it necessary to sneak her own mon-
ey from her husband’s pockets mer-
its some sort ot punishment Too
many women are still laboring un-
der the Impression that the labor
which they contribute to the family
deserves no monetary return They
figure that every cent which they
get is donated to them by their
husband’s good nature that their
labors must be contributed to the
world and family for nothing while
Some of the workers over the
county who are engaged in gath-
ering data about the soldier boys
for the Historical Society of the
Red Cross have been accosted with
any number of queries regarding
the work Many of them seem un-
able to see the advantage of hav-
ing their sons listed In the honor
roll of Alfalfa county’s soldiers
Many parents are by their careless-
ness or their stubborness making a
grave mistake and perpetrating
against their sons a grave injus
tice
The day will soon come when they
will regret exceedingly that they
failed to send in to the workers
the historical data of thler boys
Future generations In this county
will preserve lovingly and proudly
the list which the workers are now
laboring so hard to make complete
If any ot you who read this know
of any man or woman who has
failed to send In the account of a
son It would be a patriotic duty to
tell them the Importance of this
work How will the returned sol-
dier feel when he comes home and
finds no picture of himself or no
record of his service for his coun-
try in the record If a family has
only one photograph of their son
urge upon them the necessity of
taking that precious bit of card-
board to their nearest photographer
and having a copy made from it
the ' duplicate of which can be
turned over to the Red Cross
It all the boys ot your neighbor-

The campaign which just closed
had little interest other than the
last hour fight waged against Coun-
ty Clerk Hinkle and the effort to
bring the local board into politics
Cards were circulated all over the
county bearing the words “Remem-
ber a Vote for (Hinkle is a vote for
Ferguson Vote No” Up In the
north commissioners district a some-
what hapless and forlorn Individual
who does spasmodic running and
rapid retiring by the name of Har-
old cried out “Me Too" gleefully
Inspired by the example of the
Cherokee-expollticlan Herold de-
cldel to painfully part with some
ot his change and gets some cards
printed He issued a card ’’Remem
her a vote for Bloom Is a vote for
Ferguson as Dictator Vote No”
Even such a brilliant pleasantry as
this failed to cause people to forgot
his inglorious term as a commiss-
