AMERICAN LEGION AFTER AGITATORS
A campaign to rid Oklahoma of paid radical
agitators has been begun by the American Legion,
according tq an announcement made by II. I!. Fell, of
•Ardmore, state commander* Co-operation of each of
the 21‘J posts of the veterans’ organisation in tho
state has been enlisted in the campaign.
Information has been furnished the Legion that
there are 45 paid agitators working in the state at
the present. time. Each one is engaged in distributing
literature attacking the constitution and system of
government of the United State They "are speaking
on street corners and attempting to incite unrest
among Workers of all classes.
Having discovered that a number of agitators
were distributing red literature and working in that
city, Oklahoma City post No. 35 appealed to the police
for aid in ridding the city of-thym. The police scoured
the city and brought in a number who were charged
with vagrancy and warned to move to other places
where they will be more welcome.
“We are asking each of the 20,000 legionnaires
* in Oklahoma to keep his eyes open and report the
appearance of any radical agitators, “Mr. Fell said.
Police and county authorities should be asked to arrest
all such men and make them go to work at an lioncst
task or move on.”

ECONOMY
OKLAHOMA WEEKLY INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
One of the perennial issues of politics is economy.
The statesman who advocates it most vigorously, how-
ever, is often the same one who .votes for very liberal
appropriations, particularly for his own district. A
great many political battles have been \ on on the
economy issue. Sometimes the party that got in would’
immediately increase appropriations.
The pork system, the distribution of favor* among
localities, has of course led to extravagance. Yet a
great many of our publie men are perfectly honest in
their advocacy of large appropriations.
They may previously have joined the general cry
for economy. Yet when they actually get into power
and have responsibility thrown on, them, they see a
great many things for which money is really very
much wanted. They advocate appropriations for mod-
ern aVid advanced ideas that frequently arc worth all
they coat.
The trouble is that we waste so much in un-
systematic ways of handling public work, that the
treasury is always too empty to take up progressive
ideas. I’’fy- instance, it used to be aid that it was
easier to get millions of dollars to tight hog cholera,
than to get a few thousands to organize protective
work for children. The country ha siilferad losses of.
billions of dollars in the poor development of its man
power, simply because wc have been too niggardly tn
take up the' modern ideas of child welfare.
The old politician would continue to scatter a-
round money by unsystematic government work, and
would economize by shutting down on all modern
ideas fur public welfare. The thing to do is to re-
organize our government on a business basis, so that
we shall not lind the treasury so bare when we need
better educational and social facilities.

You come mighty close to getting something for
nothing when you convert that hack yard into a gar-

Taper pioducers can’t afford to reduce prices,
.lust what sugar dealers said when they were getting
25 cents a pound.
Modern politicians are too polite to call their Op-
ponents liars. They merely charge them with being
malicious and malevolent prevaricators.

THE SUBORDINATION OF BUSINESS WOMEN
Advertising
Public
Sales
Although women have been entering all fields
business activity for many years, yet they still have
a curiously subordinate position. You go into a large
factory and its offices are full of humming type-
writters operated Ivy girls. In the workrooms women
are found almost everywhere.
But in the offices occupied .by the officers of the
corporation, how many women do wo’ find? The tos-
ittions calling for executive management are usually
filled entirely by men. Most of the superintendents
and heads of the mechanical departments are men.
From this condition a good many peoplo®argue that
women lack, the capacity for executive management.
Of course anyone who belives that mental rifts’*
are transmitted from one" generation to another, must
consider that men inherit masculine traits and \v non
feminie traitts. From all the time the big positions of
exeeuttive responsibility have been filled by men. It
is perhaps inevitable that in so far as this gift is tmns-
mittted, it has been handed down mostly to the male
sex. »
Still modern thought leads us to believe - that
education, training, and environment count more in
lifj than heredity. Probably the principal reason why
women do not take large executive jobs is that they
do not train for it. They look at a business position
as a temporary stop-gap, until they get married. They
want something to give them immediate independence
until the husff'and comes along. It hardly seems worth
while for them to fit thenlselves for a permanent car-
eer that very likely will be broken before it is much
more than begun.
As marriage is the most normal .ield for worn in’s
life, it hardly seems worth while \o argue against that
point of few. At the same time young women "are
given to entering business life with too superficial
a preparation. ‘ •

You don’t leave your rig in the
middle of the road and go to a fence
post to read a sale bill do you? Then
don’t expect the other fellow to do
it when you have a sale.
Put an ad in this paper. Then,
regardless of the weather, the fel-
low you want to reach reads your
announcement while . seated at his
fireside.
If he*)t a prospective buyer, you’ll
have him at your sale. One extra
buyer often pays the entire expense
of the ad, and your bills put togeth-
er, and it’s a poor ad that won’t pull
that extra buyer.
An ad in this paper reaches the
people you are after. Bills may be
a necessity, but the ad in the weekly
home paper is the thing that does
the business an dmakes the farm
sale a success. „
Don’t think of having a farm sale
without putting a copy of the hill in
this paper.

BILLS PRINTED, BUT BE DOUBLY SURE TO GET IT IN THE PAPER!
