one thing that causes a housewife
more drudgery than carrying water
into the house and slop out of the
house
The wife is entitled to these things
and I cannot help but believe that it
is the man's duty to see that she has
them Her work on the farm is bard
enough at the easiest Sit down and
figure a little and see if you cannot
afford to make your wife happier by
making her work easier Putting
running water in the house is a good
place to start

PROBABLY A FAMILY RECORD
Twenty-three years ago two broth-
ers named Miller married sisters in
Kentucky and set up housekeeping in
the same home The couples have
since made several moves but have
never been separated They are now
living in the same house in Florida
A joint bank account is kept by the
two brothers Each owns an equal
share in a business enterprise Their
home is entered on the tax roll as
belonging to them jointly and a bill
contracted by one brother is paid tjy
the other if he receives it first It is
a common belief that two families
-cannot live in peace under the same
roof Usually they can not But it
is also twentieth centruy philosophy
that anything can happen once
Nine hundred husky prisoners
started a rough house in the county
jail in Chicago the other night If pan-
demonium were to break out in hell
it would be a Quaker meeting com-
pared to the uproar raised by these
iron barred birds
The night guards didtft know what
! to do They summoned the new jail-
er and he did know -
He didn’t preach a sermon and
neither did he give fatherly advice
He just took a squad of guards wad-
ed into jhe den yanked out the ring-
Keep Down Weeds— Don’t let the leaders one by one and administered
weeds get ahead of the row crops to each a sound flogging where dad's
Good cultivation pays
Work Stock — Do not work mares
with colt too heavy Let mare cool
off when at work before colt nurses
Conserve Moisture— These spring
rains will not continue throughout the
summer Now is the time to cultivate
so as to hold the moisture for the
crops later in the season
Cleaning Linoleum — Wash with
tepid water and dry thoroughly Avoid
water seeping under edges which
causes rotting Do not use brush
but soft cloth It can be successfully
-waxed which preserves it and makes
it easier to pare for
Home garden— Do - not overlook
making successive plantings of vege-
tables ju order to keep up as steady
at possible a timely fresh supply
Among such- vegetables are radishes
and beans Pole snap and pole lima
beans will come nearer growing
supply of green beans than the'bunch
beans
slipper used to hit

It is also worth remembering

tion from a normal acreage in 1922
Eastern reports indicate a backward-
ness in preparation and an unusually
small demaad for fertilizer Then we
have the boll weevil and other insect
pests and the probability of many sur-
viving a mild winter It 'teems high-
ly improbable that the yield will be
average but it is not safe to snake
any bets either way Let the gamb-
lers do that
There are some encouraging featur-
es outside of the question of prob-
able yield The surplus American cot-
ton it' bsing reduced rapidly - and
there will be no added carry-over
from the 1921 growth Business con-
ditions give evidence of improvement
and should the political tangle fat Eu-
rope show signs of straightening out
one can expect a reasonable demand
for cotton The cotton farmer hat
at least a chance to prove his opti-
mism by looking ahead and smiling

HOME CONVENIENCES
By W H McPheeters Extension
Farm Engineer A & M College
This is an -age of invention and
hence conveniences Man has in-
vented nearly everything conceivable
for his convenience and a great many
people are taking -advantage of these
things that make work easy but a
great many have not done so because
they really do not know how much
work is lightened by the use of them
To have modern comeniences in
the home means that the housewife
can do her work without being worn
completely out when night comes
At first thought many will say that
these hqnte conveniences are for the
eity people but when one sits down
and figures out that it is not such a
very expensive luxury after all I be-
lieve more people will install the var-
ious labor saving conveniences in the
farm hme Too many people have al-
ready moved from the farm to town
to get these conveniences of life not
realizing that they can be had on the
farm The time hat pome when tht
farm has to be made a place to live
rather than exist in order to keep
the right sort of people on the farm
On the average large farm the man
has modern machinery with which to
do his work but forgets that his wife’s
work can be done by modern machin-
- ery also and they cost less than his
machines Many men are liable to
call some of the modern 'household
conveniences "fan-darigles” and say
they have always gotten along with-
out them - So they have and so did
man get along without mowing ma-
chines binders etc for a long time
but will he go back to these crude
ways of doing things ? No Then why
not let the wife use machinery which
will reduce her work in proportion
running water in the home power
Owing to the excessive rainfall this
spring it is an assured fact that
there will be an unusually large num-
ber of mosquitoes this summer It is
well worth while to make preparation
to escape malaria and its attendant
discomforts this summer
Care should be taken to prevent
stagnant water from standing in bar-
rels buckets tin cans and small
pools Any low places that cannot be
drained should have crude oil scat-
tered on them '
Barrels used to catch soft water
should have two or three table spoon-
fuls of petroleum put in them it does
not hurt the water for washing pur-
poses but will eliminate mosquitoes
There are three kinds of parasites
that cause malarial fever They feed
on the red blood cells They develope
in the female mosquito and by her
are injected into the blood of the
person she bites
Three things are necessary for the
spread of malaria: -
(1) Persons with malaria parasites
in their blood
(2) Mosquitoes to bite such per-
sons (3) Healthy persons into whom
the mosquito may inject the malarial
parasite by biting
Well persons should be protected by
having the house well screened as the
mosquito carrying malaria almost in-
variably bites during the night Mal-
arial persons should be treated by a
physician until the parasites havq
been removed from te blood
The greater part of Oklahoma is
free from Malaria but there are
some sections where it is very prevA
lent
A DEADLY MENACE
A dope addict recently passed up
his father’s funeral in order to satis-
fy his craving for the drug that de-
stroys The case it not unusual — only one
of the many
Dope is the great parasite upon the
nation today It is destroying the
minds and bodies of hundreds of
thousands of people It is encircling
the unwary with its tentacles at an
appalling rate of speed It is menac-
ing the future of the republic
The man or woman who peddles it
is a criminal of the most depraved
type worse than the murderer who
blows off the top of his victim’s head
The punishment provided by law is
not adequate It is not in proportion
to th offense
The person who deliberately takes
life for personal gain either by slow
process or quickly by drug or by
gun should pay the penalty with his
own - - -
Tle welfare of the body politic is
greater than that of any individual
member thereof
The dope peddler is a menace to
society
PESSIMISM
A pessimist keeps himself in a con-
tinual turmoil and blames other peo-
ple for it -
It accomplishes him nothing!'
It gives other people the blues
It 'throws a wet blanket over en-
thusiasm It is detrimental to the community
Swallow your pessimism or spit it
out
MUSHY MUSHIES
Every time a notorious criminal
goes to jail a lot of mushy mushies
begin to coddle him
Excuses are sought maudlin senti-
ment is created and in the 'end the
culprit is often turned loose by a yel-
low or purchased jury- -That
is one reason why the country
washing machines electric irons' etc ? wlthcr!me: M we can’t
Everyone cannot have the electric HSinte " Y " J8lVhy n°i

Do not overlook the combatting of
the potato bug The young potato
bugs are the ones that do the great-
est amount of injury in the average
potato patch and if properly handled
their injury may be easily prevented
Probably as easy and practical a
method of poisoning them it to dust
them with arsenate of lead
Take one part of powdered arsen-
ate of lead and ten to twelve parts
of air slacked lime and mix together
thoroughly In case the lime appears
to be a little lumpy it should be run
through a’ wire screen such as is us-
ually found on windows and doors
It' it very seldom that a piece of such
wire cannot be found around the
bouse
Make a sack of about six or eight
inches wide and a foot deep out of
a piece of cheese cloth or any other
'thin material that is available and
place the lime and arsenate of lead
which has been mixed in the sack
and dust it on the plants in the morn-
ing when the dew is on ’
By holding the fop of the sack with
the --left hand and picking up the
bottom of the bag and dropping it
forcefully over the top of the plant
the dust will sift through the bottom
of the -sack onto the plant Care
should be exercised in not permitting
the bottom of the sack to come in
contact with the moist plants as the
sack wilt dog up
One timely application should prac-
tically rid the patch of the pests
Watch the plants carefully and if a
second application is necesary apply
the same
To some this may seem a tedious
operation and slow but a potato patch
can be gone over about at rapidly as
one furrow to the row could be ap-
plied -

WHY THEY GET DIVORCES
Speaking of husbands and wives
why is it that a person with a bless-
ed disposition often has a close imi-
tation of Satan for a mate? Biolo-
gists answer ‘‘For the same reason
that little men gravitate to big wo-
men and diminutive women to large
men ” Natures hates extremes in-
cluding brilliancy and is constnatly
fusing “opposites’’ to restore the bal-
ance or normal type It’s a wise
scheme Otherwise a few hundred
sujier people would have alt the oth-
ers in slave chains
Washington May 15— The '-state
department made public Monday
night the text of a message to Am
bassador Child at Genoa declining
the invitation to participate in the
new European economic conference at
The Hague
“This government" the American
communication said "Is unable
conclude that it can helpfully partici-
pate in the meeting at the Hague at
this would appear to be the contintt'
ance under a different nomenclature
of the Genoa conference and 'destined
to encounter the same difficulties If
the attitude disclosed in the Russian
memorandum of May 11 remains un
changed"
"The inescapable and ultimate quet
tion" the American note said "would
appear to be the restoration of pro-
ductivity in Russia the essential con1
ditions of which are still to be secur
ed and must in the nature of things
be provided within Russia herself"
The state department’s oommunica'
tion said the American government
“has always been ready” to join other
governments in arranging for "an in
quiry’ by 'experts into the economic
situation in Russia and the necessary
remedies" t
Such an inquiry it was added could
deal appropriately "with the econom
ic prerequisites for restroation of
Russian production without which
sound basis for credits would be lack
ing”
In conclusion the American com
munication renewed the offer to
"give' serious attention to any propo-
sals issuing from a Genoa conference
or any later conference” but added
that the suggestions for the meeting
at The Hague in view of the Rus-
sian memorandum of May 11 lacked
“thC' definiteMBs which would make
possible the concurrence of ‘this gov-
ernment in the proposed plan”
(
There is no doubt that R H Wilson State Super-
f T- '
intendent of Public Instruction Democratic candidate -for
Governor has a strong lead in’ the race Reports
from virtually every precinct in the State establish this
fact Every day for the last two weeks there have been
scores of representative men and women farmers busi
ness and professional men voluntarily adding their sup-
port to Mr Wilson’s already big lead over other candi-
dates " This is the outstanding convincing fact in the '
politics of the year -It means that the conservative men
and women thinkers who will perpetuate' the Demo-'
crhtic party and want that party to emerge from the
August primary clean and united are concentrating
their efforts and are for the nomination of R H Wil-
son These facts can be substantiated

PROVE YOUR OPTIMISM AND
SMILE
Acording to the official publication
of the American Cotton Association
the American cotton acreage will be
increased an average of 5 per cent in
1922 as compared with the 1921 acre-
age and this in face of a determined
effort on the part of organizations
to bring about a reduction A 5 per
cent increase brings the acreage back
to normal -
The final count (or the 1921 crop
shows a lttle under 8000000 or from
four to five million bales under the
normal American yield The world’s
taking of American cotton thus far
this season has exceeded the 1921 pro-
duction by over 750001) bales and be-
fore the end of the cotton year will
have exceeded the ptoduction for 1921
hy considerably over 1000000 'hales
Despite this reduction of the carry-
over of 1920 and preceding years
prices have been iomparativel r low
