The Worm Has Turned
Sapulpa Argus: A newspaper
man in Ohio recently brought
suit against forty-three persons
who would not pay their sub-
scription to his paper and obtain'
ed judgment in each case- Of
these twenty-eight made affidavit
that they owned no more than
the law allows, thus preventing
attachment. Then under the de-
cision of the United States su-
preme court, they were arrested
for petit larceny and bound over
in the sum of $400 each- Six
failing to give bond, were com-
mitted to jail The new postal
law makes it larceny to take a
newspaper from the postoffice
and refuse to pay for it.
Note—We took the above from
last Sunday's Daily Oklahoman.

Food Will Win the War
Some of the greatest critics of
Europe have contended for two
years that famine, not fighting,
will decide fthe war. Herbert
Hoover, commanded-in-chief of
America's food army, has issued
the following instructions to his
soldiers:
Buy less: cook no more than
necessary; serve smaller por-
tions.
Use local and seasonable sup-
plies.
Patronize local producers and
lessen the need, and the cost of
transportation.
Preach and practice the "Gos-
pel of the Clean Plate."
Don't starve yourself, of
courge- And don't limit the
plain food of growing children.
Watch out for waste in yoor
community. Don't eat betwc
