IN THE EYE OF THE CAMERA
BY K. O’DAKER
President Harding is a living exem-
plification of that old truth. “Smart
men change their minds, fools never
do.” Once upon a time Mr. Harding
made a scathing denunciation of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, of whom he just
penned, “The greatest American of
his time."

The price of carcass beef, the pack-

of a long line of similar information
emanating from manufacturers and
industrialists, makes the lowering of
the high cost of living as clear as a
mud puddle.

A news item in a contemporary in-
forms us that New York policemen
broke up a meeting at which two wom-
en were engaged in expatiating about
“berth control." The Pullman com-
pany, it seems, is adopting rough tac-
tics to put a stop to any criticism
about the autocratic manner in which
it controls its berth business.
•O'
New York supreme court has ruled
that “Hud" Fisher’s brain-children,
"Mutt” and "Jeff,” are not public prop-
erty, and that none other than Fisher
has a right to make fun of them. The
ruling of the court is more ludicrous
than the antics of “Mutt” and “Jeff”
e’er dared to be. The supreme court
judges unquestionably crave strip car-
tooning and are envious of “Mutt"
and “Jeff.”

The Department of Labor cheered
us with the glad news that retail food
prices decreased 3 per cent in Mil-
waukee last month. Feeling that our
hoarding house boss might construe
news of that sort as a gentle hint to
decrease his rate, we gleefully direct-
ed his attention to the item, and he
sardonically suggested that we go to—
Milwaukee.

Senator Penrose introduced to the
senate a resolution calling for a halt
in naval ship building during the lim-
itations of armament conference. The
senator would estop the spending of
about 4f> per cent of our tax moneys,
while we are entertaining company. If
the resolution is adopted it would pay
us to keep the company with us. for-
ever and a day.

Freed or convicted, “Fatty” can re-
view his court experience with the
certain conviction that he had all to
lose and naught to gain, financially.
With the state of California pitted
against him, aided and abetted by six
attorneys of his own choosing, it is
not possible for him to avert ravages
on his purse.

Kstimates of the intelligence of a
man or community are formed,largely,
from links, which, taken separately
are of little significance, but when,
conjoined, constitute the things of im-
pressively superlative mental strength.
Of the things of minor importance,
nresenting an opportunity for Fort
Stockton citizens to give a tangible il-
lustration of considerate intelligence,
attention is directed to the efforts of
the American Railway Association to
improve the care in packing and mark-
ing freight and express shipments.
This month is the “perfect package
month," during which time every pack-
age sent from Fort Stockton will be
carefully inspected and a record of its
condition filed for comparison with
shipments made from other cities. Be
unusually careful in wrapping, binding
And marking your packages. Help
make Fort Stockton’s record lead all
other cities in the United States.
-O-
The writer has never had the pleas-
ure of meeting congressman Huds-
peth, but we have sentiments in com-
mon about one thing, at least. Mr.
Hudspeth, in airing his views of Sec-
reary Hughes’ proposals, in reference
to disarmament, said: “In my opin-
ion the utterance of Secretary Hughes
met the unanimous approval of every
member of congress present, and I
have heard members from both sides
express themselves that if the con-
ference lives up to Hughes’ proposi-
tion, limitation of armament is an as-
sured thing, and in my opinion would
prevent war between any of the pow-
ers represented for at least fifty, and
possibly a hundred years. It will cut
taxation at least 75 per cent. Sitting
in the gallery viewing the delegates,
the appearance of the four men repre-
senting the United States made me
doubly proud of being an American."
The thing particularly pleasing is that
reference to the appearance of our rep-
resentatives. During the course of the
Haris peace conference we were fed
up on a lot of buncombe about the
great diplomatic brains of certain
Tammany Hall disciples celebrated,; European statesmen and there was a
last Thursday, the greatest Republican j disposition on the part of many ill-
rout ever experienced in New York . informed to excuse our representa-
City. Take the booze away from j tiv<.s at that meeting with, “Well, they

drunk on it. It is futile to attempt j nauseam. The truth, made apparent,
to convert them to prohibition. Stop
them “hitting the booze” and they’ll
mop up on Republican*. The Repub-
licans have it in their power to even
scores oy • refusing New York City
denizens permits for medical beer.
There is a chance that the election will
make New York mighty dry.
is: our statesmen are qualified to cope
with the best of ’em; and with most of
the European mavericks our diplomats
can sit in the game blindfolded and
never miss calling a four-flush play.
Truly, there is reason, at this time, for
Mr. Hudspeth to be "doubly proud of
being an American."

Pink and white streamers were fast-

a tiny pink parasol of the rose petals

WITHIN REACH OF ALL
The time has long past for a hath room to be consid-
ered anything less than a necessity. Health and comfort
both demand one in every home.
Sanitary plumbing and a modern bath room are no
longer luxuries. P ixtures are now made in such enormous
quantities that they can be sold at prices within the means
of everyone.
If you have no bathroom or the equipment is antiquated
and unsanitary, visit us and see what a great improvement
is possible at moderate cost.
If it is inconvenient to call, just phone us or drop
card and we will be glad to send our man to see you.
