With backless gowns and half-hose prescribed
for the women it looks to us like a busy summer for

One thing to be said in favor of the presiden-
tial primiries—they’re putting a lot of money into

A lot of candidates would loom up better as
■"dark horses” if their records were not already

Formerly Mon the bench’’ meant you were a re-
vered judge, now it means your boy is aa idolised

Instead of teaching Pawhuska children that the

them it is crooked.

The wise Pawhuskn man is quick to say "no"

-O-
We’ve Just heard of a smart young bride. She
makes her biscuit small so her husband will have

Instead of selecting the hat that is the most
becoming some women pick on the one that will
make their husbands the maddest when they get

-O-
When all this territory around Pawhuska was
a wilderness a man took a powder horn and went
hunting for deeri now the dear goes out with a
powder rag and goes hunting for the man.
They Were Sensible.
Now that money gives every indication of tight-
ening up throughout this country we want to con-
gratulate those of Pawhuska and vicinity who had
the foresight to save a little of it while they had a
good opportunity. Especially would we commend
those who learned the saving habit as a result of
war’s activities, and who learned the lesson of thrift
through their part in the mighty struggle. Today
more people in this neighborhood have money In the
bank than ever before, or have made investments in
real estate or farm property as a result of learning
the first step in saving.
Don’t be misled by the fallacy that you are
justified in not practicing thrift If you do not learn
to save money while working on a small salary you
will fail to save anything when your earning capac-
ity increases. Some of the most successful men in
America have laid the foundation of financial suc-
cess by saving a little of their ridiculously low wag-
es.
Toq many are apt to disregard the value of
small savings. If you are able to put away but $2.60
a month it means you’ve saved $368 in ten years,
if deposited at 4 per cent interest. Five dollars a
month will total $737 in the same time and $10 a
month, or less than $2.50 a week will net you the sum
of $1,476 in a decade, or ten years. In other words
any sum of money deposited at compound interest
of 4 per cent will more than double itself in 16 yearn.
It’s the little things that count, so if you are still
one of those who didn’t start saving while the war
was on, start now before money gets tighter and
still harder to get
-O-
Higher Freight Rates.
Hearings have begun before the Interstate Com-
merce Commission to determine to what extent the
freight rates shall be increased to produce a 6 per
cent return to the roads. It is estimated that the
earnings of the roads must be increased to the ex-
tent of $1,017,000,000 before that rate of ration on
propert valuation will be reached. That will mean
an increase of from 20 to 30 per cent in freight
rates, according to the officials of the roads who are
presenting their case before the Commerce Com-
mission. It is a condition, however, that cannot be
avoided if the country is to have a transportation
system. Private capital will not invest in a railroad
property if a fair return on the money is not assured
and the 6 per cent contemplated in the railroad bill
is low compared with the high interest rates now
prevailing.
Even with the big freight rate increases sought
the public will be getting its transportation more
cheaply than it could under any other system of
management. Under government control and own-
ership, freight rates might remain as they now are,
but the public would be called upon to make up huge
deficits in the shape of continued taxation. In their
recent 26 months’ experience with Federal ownership
the people have had demonstrated to them the huge
loss of efficiency and consequent increased cost that
goes with it. We must have uninterrupted railroad
transportation, and the cheapest way to maintain
it is to provide a fair return to private capital in-
vested in the roads.
-O-
Re-Educating a Professor.
Recollecting some of the things college profes-
sors have done in managing public business in the
last few years, the people of the country will await
with apprehension the performances of the profes-
sor of politics who has just been made a member
of the Interstate Commerce ■Commission. Not know-
ing anything in particular about Interstate Com-
merce he is quite sure to get an education on that
subject at public expense—and if the cost of educat-
ing some of the other professors may be taken as
a criterion, the cost may be appalling. Professor
Garfield was made coal administrator, and we had
bootless, lightless, workless, payless days and nights
in almost all lines of industry. Professor Taussig,
chairman of the Tariff Commission according to
reports, was the adviser who induced President Wil-
son not to buy the Cuban sugar crop and the coun-
try is paying a billion dollars for the education of
this professor in the elements of practical economics.
A private enterprise undertaking to deal in either
coal or sugar would select a man as its manager,
who knew something about the business as a re-
sult of practical experience. The Wilson adminis-
tration, headed by a college professor as it is, deems
practical experience of little value, and assumes that
even though a man may have spent his life prepar-
ing himself as a lecturer on one subject, his college
diploma enables him to work the miracle of conduct-
ing affairs concerning which he is wholly ignorant
-O-
Sugar From Sawdust.
Cheer up, good people of Pawhuska, for relief
is now In sight! News dispatches out of Pittsburg
are to the effect that a scientist of that city has dis-
covered a process by which he can make sugar out
of sawdust—and retail it for less than a nickel a
pound. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t ItT
Anyhow the Pittsburg man Is said to have show"
a sample of his sawdust-sugar, or sugar-sawdust,
just whichever you may wish to call it, and it is
declared to do the work intended. Of course he re-
fuses to reveal the secret And why not? Who
wants to see alt of our shade trees chopped down
and used up for sawdust T Who wants to have to
quit work now when production of other things is so
badly needed to take a rip saw and get out enough
sawdust to make sugar for the breakfast coffee?
Not only that, but who wants to be heartless enough
to break the hearts of poor sugar barons who are
only robbing the American people at the rate of a
few million dollars monthly 7
No sir, we don’t propose to take any stock in
this new sugar discovery. We've had too many dis-
appointments in life already to be led into another
one now like a lamb to the slaughter. We refuso
to believe the time has come when a man can taka
« rip-saw and work out his wife’s canning problems
by sawing up an old rail fence. We don't propose to
believe the Pittsburg man’s story. And we don’t
propose to start in asking someone to pass the saw-
dust until wa KNOW the sugar barons are dead and
in a place where ice water Is said to be at a premium.

More Rubber
Means
More Miles
You’ve heard lots of talk about "secret processes” and
’’magic formulas” for years. You’ve been fed up on those mys-
terious closely guarded things that long haired scientists discov-
ered to get more mileage out of tires. Isn’t it about time you
get the real facts?
There is no mystery about tire making. Methods are kno
to all. Tire durability is merely a question of material. Pi
Rubber is the gauge of tire quality. It is to tires just what pi
wool is to clothes. It’s the basic material. More pure rubl
i
means more srength—more
“life”—more miles.

TIRES
How much rubber? That’s the question to ask the tire
maker. That’s the tire test.
Auburn Certified Tires tell you before you buy.
ity "extra ply” tires have revolutionised tire sellinc
These qual-
■
ity - extra piy tires nave revolutionised tire selling. They are
the first to openly state their ingredients so the buyer can judge
for himself.
Certified Statement of Ingredient*
A Certifed Statement of Ingredients is attached to each
tire. It proves that the Auburn Certified Tires contain a greater
volume of pure Para Rubber than nny other tires on the market.
And, remember, more rubber means more miles. Come in and
see these tires. You’ll note tho quality "look” and pure rubber
■feel” at once. Read the Certified Tag. There’s no "gamble”
In Auburn. You know how they are made before you buy. Why
risk a shoddy proposition that’s a complete mystery to you?
Auburn Certified Tires have made marvelous mileage records
during 6 years of service. We believe they're the cheapest tire
buy on the market today on a "cost-per-mlle" basis. Come In
and look 'em over.
