TOO QUICK IN CONDEMNATION
Billy Grimes Might Have Been a Lit-
tle Lest Hasty In “Bawling
Out” the Doctor
“The opponents of strong drink”
said a politician at a dinner In New
York “are too ready with their accu-
sations — accusations of drunkenness
and what not — against all who don’t
share their views"
“Sometimes I think they are as had
ns Billy Grimes
“Billy’s doctor had bought a fine
new pair bf acetylene lamps for his
automobile and one evening the water
reservoirs of both lumps got empty
and so of course the lights went out
“The doctor halting In front of
Billy's slinck shouted :
“ ‘Hi Billy can you let me have
some water for my lamps?'
“Billy came forth ‘Water?’ he said
1 guess ye mean oil don’t ye doc?’
“‘No I don’t’ said the doctor ‘I
mean water’
“Billy looked at the doctor then he
shook his head sadly
“ ‘Better go right oft home doc’
he said ‘Go home and sleep it off
Ain’t ye ashamed of yerself — at your
age — and all the lives of the commu-
nity dependin’ on ye’” — Washington

"Movies” In Education
Prof Giacomo Bonl noted Italian
archeologist Ims suggested to the
government the use of moving pic-
tures to promote the study of history
In the schools and among all classes
of the people
He declared that moving pictures
wore better than bonks or lectures
and recalled that after the Itoman
peace the Emperor Augustus wishing
to induce the people to return to the
land called upon the poets to sing of
agriculture and Virgil wrote the
“Georgies”
Moving pictures according to Pro-
fessor Bonl must lie employed In a
similar manner to educate the ppople
to a knowledge nnd appreciation of
Italian history
The Deed Wae Done
With our baskets full of goodies a
crowd of us enjoy going from house to
house nnd having “picnic” dinners
At our Inst meeting place our hostess
was noted for making weak coffee
This worried my husband who likes
Ids strong To please 1dm I promised
to go early nnd offer to make the cof-
fee Luck was against me for when
I arrived she bail already made It
My husband thinking of course that
I had done the deed looked across
the table nt me nnd bellowed before
them all: “This coffee is simply rot-
ten” — Exchange

tact with the owner
STOCK MENJEET MARCH 29
Southwestern Producers Association
Convention at 0 C
Stockmen of Oklahoma are going to
make a powerful effort to get the rail-
roads to provide better service for
live stock shippers now that the roads
are back in private bands again Al-
ready the organized cattle raisers are
preparing to exert their influence and
tangible results are expected from the
annual convention of the Live Stock
Producers’ Association of Oklahoma
which will be held in Oklahoma City
Monday March 29
Delays in getting stock to market
on account of poor transportation serv-
ice is the general complaint of the
live stock men who regularly ship to
the Oklahoma City market It is
claimed that a delay of 24 hours in
the movement of live Btock within 100
miles of this market is not infrequent
Naturally the shrinkage in the weight
of the animals is large and the losses
to the owner enormous Coupled with
this disadvantage the cattlemen are
also having unusual difficulties in get-
ting sufficient cars while it is impos-
sible to tell when they can expect the
arrival of cars
Next to the business of getting more
attention from the railroads the cat-
tlemen are expected to turn an ear to
the advice of A Palmer Mitchell at-
torney general of the United States
concerning the purchase of the Okla-
homa stock yards Under the compro-
mise made by the government and the
five big packers they must dispose of
their Interests in all stock yards
within two years Just what is the
best course for the live stock produc-
ers to follow in the face of such a
revolution in the meat packing indus-
try has been an enigma but the attor-
ney general advises them to buy the
yards
John C Atwood assistant United
States attorney general has been at-
tending many cattlemen’s conventions
and is urging the organizing of a
Southwestern Stock Yards Company
by the stock producers of the south-
west He suggests that it be capi-
talized at $6000000 and acquire the
possession of the yards at Kansas
City Fort Worth Denver and Okla-
homa City which points receive the
bulk of the cattlemen's products At
present Morris & Company are the
owners of the Oklahoma City yards
