Now the vaudeville stage has ban-
ned prohibition jokes Not for the
sake of prohibition but for the sake
of vaudeville
Mr Edison says he prises a plug of
chewing tobacco that President Har-
ding gave him a year ago and that he
“takes a chew" every once In a while
Won’t somebody suggest to Mr Har-
dinfc that he furnish Mr Edison with
a real battiest cut what is left of
that plug? 0 ’
' MARTYR BRIDES '
Readers of romance in the old days
used to pour out their pity lavishly
on the poor damsel who was being
forced into marriage by her tyrant
father as a means of retrieving the
family fortunes
AH this pity seems now to have
been washed and there is a suspicion
that the father of the old days was
not really a tyrant at all but was
simply playing the part because
mother and the girls demanded it of
him For the girl martyr to matri-
mony still persists although no fath-
er today would dare to attempt to
dictate to daughter as to whom she
should wed any more than he would
think of interfering in any of her
other affairs We are forced to the
conclusion that the lure of martyrdom
is so strong in womankind they simply
cannot resist it
Scarcely a day passes but we read
of some young girl offering to make
a marriage sacrifice of herself to earn
money to pay the doctor or to pay off
the mortgage When fashion first
started the girl went to the highest
bidder but evidently high bidders
were growing scarce for now a piti-
ably small sum wins the martyr
bride But there is generally fol-
lowing the pitiful tale of privations
she would thus relieve a description
of the kind of a man she would pre-
fer to sacrifice herself to
to ask why since the president has
tried a Hoover plan a Davia plan a
Lasker plan and a Daugherty plan
he does not try a Harding plan? Is
there a Harding plan? Has there
ever been a Harding plan? If not
why not? Surely no one has a bet-
ter right to have a plan in time of
crisis than the president of the
United States
Mr Harding was elected on a plat-
form of many planks prominent
among which was his pledge to seek
advice from “the best minds" It is
sU very well for Mr Harding to aeek
advice from the best minds but he
would not be lacking in modesty If
he were to include his own in the
list
MR HARDING’S OWN MIND
Reports of a cabinet rumpus over
the administration's policy in the
strike crisis will not evoke popular
sympathy either for the president or
for his advisers That Mr Harding
followed first the advice of one cab-
inet member and then that of another
does not relieve him from responsibil-
ity for the futility of courses pursued
It does account for the wiggling and
wobbling that has caused irritation in
both industrial camps
The average man will be inclined
PEANUT SHORTAGE THREATENS
A crisis generally overlooked is
about to ovei whelm the unsuspecting
Am-rican public if report are to be
believed The peanut crop is ex-
hausted This seems incredible of course
st first but it is a fact none the less
and every time from now forward
this year that you buy a Back you are
taking something from circulation
that can not be replaced The rea-
son is not apparent 'Many peanuts
were grown But whether due to an
extremely busy circus season or to
mammoth increase in the human taste
for the goober the supply was whisk-
ed off the farms and a month ago not
more than 5 per centum of the crop
remained in the hands of the grow-
ers This is not all the story Taste In
peanuts is getting finicky The pub-
j lie wants shelled peanuts and “fan-
I cies” as they are known to the
I trade Now it is a statistical fact
that one eats far more peanuts reedy
shelled than when they have to be
scooped out of the fiber casing Con-
sequently peanuts have been going
by the handfull and not all the farms
of Oklahoma and Texas and other
states specialising in this esteemed
product have been able to supply the
demand
A sinister note enters the issue
when it is revealed that Oriental pea
nuts are creeping in at the Pacific
coast ports taking advantage of the
national appetite to establish a quiet
hold on American custom Congre-is
should do something about this if the
American peanut is to hold its own
And congress will
Peanuts are a congressional spe-
cialty o

settlement is a long way off and gives
a plausible reason for his belief The
banker expresses the bptnioit that
President Obregon will approve the
De La Huerta plan privately for he
credits the Mexican executive with
sound sense But he thinks the Mexi-
can people are not willing to provide
the money for debt settlement and
the president will be constrained to
defer to their will When an official I
acts counter 4o their will they take a
rifle and shoot him or try to He
thinks any attempt by Obregon to
discharge the nation’s obligations
would result in revolution and this
would leave the debt where it Is
The banker has no fear of repudia-
tion by Mexico Those people differ-
entiate between repudiation and re-
fusal to pay Refusal to pay with
them means simply postponment of
payment until it suits them to hand
over the money They admit the ob-
ligation in this case which la enough
for them
But Mexicans have no monopoly on
this line of reasoning Some nations
more advanced seem to have come to
like conclusions though they have not
yet announced them with emphasis
During the faH and winter there will
be a revelation with respect to these
matters But there is no substantial
reason why any government indebted
to thq United States should put itself
in the position of Mexico as described
There is no special virtue in paying
a debt put of a plethoric purse No
very great disgrace can attach to a
debtor who having earnestly tried
fails to pay as ho agreed to due to In-
ability to raise the money A cred-
itor may justly resort to sharp meas-
ures with a dishonest or neglectful
debtor but for one who simply can-
not pay but would if he could there
will be nothing but sympathy and
good will
Sometime even Mexicans will have
to recognize this

Mr Seymour says that Is altogether
too many tires for one man to make
It should have read four million

Dr A R Lewis Commissioner
August U the month when the
water supply problem is often a se-
rious one In many Oklahoma commu-
I nities Some places are fortunate
j enough to be supplied with deep wells
from which pure water can be drawn
at all times of the year regardless of
weather conditions
Most of the larger cities and many
smaller communities must depend for
a portion if not all their water on
I rivers and other streams When a
I long hot dry spell sets in this supply
j not only runs very low but is in dan-
ger of contamination
There Is probably no other single
factor upon which the health of a
community more depends than upon
the purity of its water supply No
reasonable precaution that will insure
this purity should bs neglected It is
a question which concerns every citi-
sen both as an individual and a
member of the community Chlori-
nation and filtration are the main
things to be used to purify a public
water supply
In "addition to the precautions
jwbicji may be taken by the comma-
whole there ara soma that
the individual can taka -
Unless the water is pure there is
always danger of typhoid fever which
is a most serious and expensiva ill-
ness Many intestinal troubles se-
rious but not as dangerous as ty-
phoid are directly due to impure
water
The individual is indeed careless
and foolhardy who neglects any pos-
sible precautions because they Involve
a certain amount of trouble or ex-
pense The safest plan for the individual
to follow who is not sure as to tha
purity of his water supply is to boil
all water used for drinking purposes
It does not take a great deal of time
°r trouble to keep on hand a supply
of boiled water and it is an absolute
guarantee that no disease will be con-
tracted on account of impure water
Filteri have some value but cannot
be trusted to keep out the minute
germs which produce typhoid and kin-
dred diseases
Anyone doubting the purity of
their water supply can send to the
State Laboratory for a container and
send in samples of the water and they
will be mailed a report on the con-
dition of the same all absolutely free
of charge
