thousand Oklahoma families from

The United States Treasury has
approximately $11,000,000,000 In
gold. This is 2 in gold to each
$1 In money that Is actually out-
standing, and it, represents one-
hr.lf of all the gold in the world.
According to the recent staballza-
tion agreement between our coun-
try, France and England, the net
result.-, will be lowering the value
of gold, which is another way of
saying that prices of commodities,
in terms of gold, are bound to
rise. A movement of gold from
this country to other countries is
expected. This will not be harm-
ful to our own country if a reason-
able amount of it is exported.

"It pays to feed poultry a bal-
anced ration when they are not
laving, as well as when they are
laying," says F. F. Ferguson oi
Hutchinson county. Ferguson fed
a balanced ration of grain and
inash throughout the summer to
his flock of Rhode Island Red pul-
lets and now has an egg produc-
tion of approximately 62 per cent
This percentage Is constantly in-
creasing. Flocks In the county
v/hlch were not fed balanced ra-
tions when eggs were cheap now
have an egg production of from
2 to 12 per cent, Cyde L. Carruth,

According to a recent bulletin of
the Association of American Col-
leges, the new federal income tax
law will have the effect of ln-
crecsing monetary gifts to colleges.
The bulletin cites a prediction
made by President Walter Dili
Scott of Northwestern university
thc.t "gifts" to educational institu-
tions will reach an all-time peak
within the next five year, surpass-
ing even the great endowments oi
th" "20's". Since "the traditional
motives of philanthropy have now
been strengthened by a desire on
the pavt cf wealthy men to min-
imize the effects of high taxation,"
many men will prefer to make
large gifts to chrrity instead of
p,-.vlng the tax collector.

Joseph Raef of Potter County, 1
thoroughly convinced that contour
listing and storing moisture pays
111 a big way, according to E. R
Duke, county agricultural agent.
Raef started to list a field on the
contour before the heavy May
rains but had only 30 rows listed
when the rains stopped him. After
the rains he planted this 30 rows
and continued planting hegarl the
same day on down the slope on
the land which was lying flat dur-
ing the rains The 30 rows which
were contoured before the rains
headed out and produced good
grain even though it received prac-
tically no rain after it was planted.
Hegari planted on the uncontour-
ed land did not get more than
two feet tall and burned up be-
fore It headed out.

Chief I.. O Phares, of the state
highway patrol, is not a cynic, but
his 25 years police experience has
t iught him to be cautious Recent-
ly, a motor truck line operator in
Houston, who had been havtnsr
labor trouble, asked the chief for
a police escort for two of his
trucks, saying he had evidence of
a plot by strikers to dynamite the
trucks between Houston and Dal-
las. Ph ires obligingly furnished 4
highway patrolmen and the trucks
started. After they had gone, Ph-
ares did some thinking, then phon-
ed up the line and instructed an-
other detachment of patrolmen to
stop the trucks and weigh them.
As the trucks, with their formld-
escort of policemen, passed
thru Buffalo, they were stopped
and weighed. The patrolmen found
mon load than the tow allows.
The operator was fined and the
escort withdrawn. "It was a good
trtdt—If It had worked,'' remarked
Chief Phares.

Leadership of the Senate will
not be changed from last session
Roblnsoi. of Arkansas, who was re-
elected by a staggering majority,
will head the overwhelming Demo-
c. atlc majority. McNary of Oregon,
o'ie of the very few Republicans
of high public position who sur-
vived the Roosevelt landslide, will
be spokesman for the GOP minor-
ity. In the House, the Republi-
can leadership will also probably
be the same no It was lfst session,
but there will be a new Speaker.
There Is considerable competition
on foot for this very important
post, but it seems almost certain
that Administration-backed Repre-
sentative Rayburn of Texas (who
has been In the House for more
than a generation, but Is not wide-
ly know) will get the necessary
votes. His chief opponent is Re-
presentative O'Connor of New
York, 13 years a member of the
House. These leaders and their
followers will have plenty to do
between January and June, or
whenever Congress ends. It would
seem, in view of the great Demo-
cratic majorities, that there would
be little trouble in approving or
voiding legislation—but unless all
the forecasters arc wrong, there
will be many a burning speech de-
livered from the floors of both
branches, many a bitter wrangle
in committee rooms.

The die-hard Saturday Evening
Pest cannot forget that the na
tional election Is over and that
Pres'dent Roosevelt won on al-
moot unanimous approval from the
states of the union. During the
campaign the Post used its col-
umns, both editorial and maga-
zine section, to berate everything
that Roosevelt had done or pro-
po.ed. Now It is Jumping on to
the President for not staying in
Washington, attending to the na-
tion's business while the hot shots
of the Republican party turned
loose the heavy artillery upon the
acts of the administration. Too
Ivd that the; Post cannot realize
that this is a democracy in which
every citizen has his voice, and
that every citizen has the right
to hear a report from thos^ In
office as well as those who pro
pose to oust those who are In of-
fice. It is probably true that th-i
results of the cloctlon were not
materially changed by the cam-
paign of the President as he trav-
elled over the nation mc.kl'113 a
personal report to the people. If
It had not been for the tacticj cf
such unfair publications as ths
Saturday Evening Post in distort-
ing the Issues of the campaign
the President would not have been
forced to defend his position. To-
day the Post has failed to recog-
nize the fact that It Is in the same
political class with the du Ponts,
uibe iy League and Coughlln. all
of whom have admitted their mis-
erable failure as political leader;
r.nd have retired In disgrace.—Can-

PREVENTION 18 CURE FOR
AUTO ACCIDENTS
'The only way to avoid the use-
less waste of life due to traffic
accidents Is to prevent the accl-
Jent," reads a warning Issued by
Dr. George W. Cox, State Health
Officer.
"It Is not a question of who Is
rigth and who is wrong after the
accident has occurred," he said,
"and automobile accidents never
happen merely because' of 'bud
luck,'—there Is a definite c.-.usc
for every one of them, although It
is not possible to determine the
precise origin of every mi Ji.ip.
"Leaders of the safety movement
agree that the most fundamental
ipproach to the solution of our
oatlonal accident problem lies In
the education and training of the
Individual. Safety education in-
cludes the training cf individuals
to avoid accldcnts to themselves
and to prevent accidents to others,
it Involves the acquisition of a
certain fund of Information, the
rtblllty to apply this Informr.tlon
to concrete situations, and the
building up of habits which will
make the application of knowledge
to situation automatic.
"The dangerous curves and in-
tersections on the highways of this
State are distinctly marked, and
automobile drivers can assist great-
ly In the reduction of deaths from
automobile accidents by carefully
observing these warning signs.
'Some motorists rely too much
on traffic rules and regulations,
thinking that If they are obeying
the rules of the road at the time
when an accident occurs, no blame
cr.n be attached to them. Tills is
not true. The only man who can
consider himself blameless In case
of an accident, when iie was obey-
ing the rules of the roid, is the
one who did everything possible
to avoid that accident.
"The consequences of an auto-
mobile accldcnt are so dlsr.sterous,
that only when we have done
eveiythlng In our power to avoid
such accidents, can we consider
ourselves, or expect others to con-
sider us, blameless in the case of
an accident.
"When each Individual does all
that he Is able to do Ijward avoid-
Iiie an accident of any kind, then,
and then only, will our traffic ac-
cidents be avoided."
