Our question to Cunning: How do
you get that way?
That $150,000 enabled the motion
plcturc men to focus the attention of
Will Hays.
The Russian reds are said to have
abandoned their scheme for a world
revolt. If this Is true, they are at last
•howing signs of developing a little
common sense.
Perhaps most of the powers would
be willing to have their deals with
China published in Chinese papers—
provided news services would agree
not to translate the bargains and for-
ward their reports to other countries.
GEOLOGG1STS OF DIFFERENT
KINDS.
Now comcs a group of high brow
geologists and gives estimate of the
amount of oil under the ground and
available to the drill, In the United
States. There Is a doleful note struck
In the report In that It Is predicted
that the supply of oil will last only a
few years longer, from this source at
least, the total of the still burled
treasure estimat'd In almost exactness
of figures is placed at 89,150,000,000
barrels.
This potential supply of oil is dis-
tributed, so the geologists affirm, as
follows: Oklahoma, 1,340,000,000 bar-
rels; Texas, except gulf coast, 670,-
000,000 barrels; Texas. Louisiana and
gulf coast, 2,100,000,000 barrels; Cal-
ifornia, 1,850,000,000 barrels; Wyom-
ing, 625,000,000 'barrels; Northern
Louisiana and Arkansas 520,000,000
barrels; Kansas, 425,000,000 barrels;
these districts representing the west
and southwest, with the remainder of
the reserve assigned to the fields of
the eastern states, east of the Missis-
sippi.
The report goes on to state that
the annual production from all the
fields Is now 500,000,000 barrels and
consumption some 100,000,000 barrels
In excess of that amount, the differ-
ence being made up In Imported oil.
It would be interesting to read what
this board of eminent geologists has
to say regarding the fields now pro-
ducing and the wildcat territory now
drilling under advice and direction of
other geologists. Is there no oil to
be found except In those states where
the drill has already uncovered it?
What of the Mexia field, discarded by
the geologists of the big companies
and brought in by the drill test? If
Colonel Humphreys fills his. contract
Of 300,000,000 barrels to the Standard
company and that representing only
part of the Mexia production, what
Is to become of other fields, with limi-
tation of all of them taken together
placed at approximately 670,000,000
barrels?
Somebody must be guessing a lot.
Either that or the other geologists
who are finding new oil structures all
over Texas and In other states, are
getting money wrongfully. Either
there is poor guessing on the part of
some geologists, or the Burkburnett,
Northentrn Stephens county and Me-
xia pools are but figments of the
Imagination.
from the tax collector for the state
and county which will entitle th m to
vote In the primaries and other elec-
tions during the year. Persons who
have reached or passed the ag*c of
sixty years also may obtain an exemp-
tion certificate without the payment
of any sum.
But, remember, all must have cith-
er a poll tax receipt or an exemption
certificate In order to exercise the
privilege of voting. The mere fact
that one is over or uoder age does not
entitle him or her to vote without an
exemption certificate.
The tax assessor, under Instructions
from the comptroller, backed by an
opinion from the attorney general, is
enrolling In his assessment blanks for
tax returns for 1922 by husbands ren-
dering taxes the names of their wives
and the poll tax will be levied and
collected with other taxes. This Is
done whether the wife wants to vote
or not. In other words the state pro-
poses to force the wives to qualify for
voting regardless of their attitude to-
ward the exercise of the suffrage by
women.
There has been remonstrance and
objection to this procedure but the as-
sessor is powerless to change the rul-
ing and all wives, within the legal
ages, must have their names enrolled
upon the assessment form and will be
taxed. So, also, the county and state
tax collector Is this year collecting
from all tax payers $1.75 for the poll
tax of the wife.
It looks ps If the ladls will have the
voting privilege thrust upon them and
It Is just as well to waltz up and set-
tle early and avoid the rush. There
will be rush during the closing days
of this week and the two days of n xt
week within which taxes yet may be
paid just like a bargain day rush, at-
tending with all a bargain day rush's
crowding and congestion but without
any reduced prices as an inducement
or reward for those who finally with
clothing awry and temper spoiled,
reach the collector's window. Pay
early and vote early and every time
you get the chance but not more than
once in the same election.
Every person of voting age in Bell
county, especially in Temple, should
be qualified to vote this year. The
first voting of the year comes next
month, Feb. 4, when the question of
changing the form of city government
is to be decided at the polls. Be pre-
pared to vote on It.
th* facts and figure* contained la the
memorial now in possession of Presi-
dent Harding. Th* problem of the
mentally disabled soldier la bnt on*
phase of the general problem of the
rehabilitation of the sick and wound-
ed service men. It is, however, one of
the most important phases of the gen-
eral problem, and no plan for the re-
habilitation of the disabled soldiers
can be considered complete that does
not make provision for the care and
treatment of those who have emerged
from the war with mind and reason
impaired.
A measure already lies befor* con-
gress calling for the appropriation of
$16,000,000 to provide for tho treat-
ment of all mental and tubercular
cases In federal Institutions. The
memorial urges the immediate pas-
sage of this measure, and congress,
we may hope, will be ready, by
promptly approving this measure, to
do belated justice to many thousands
of American citizens who answered
the call of country and have now re-
turned with shattered minds.—Boston

the hands of President Harding, dis-
abled American veterans of the world
war have drawn attention to the
wretch* d plight of many thousands of
the mentally disabled former service
men. The memorial describes the re-
sults of investigations of the methods
used in certain state institutions to
which the care of such men has been
entrusted. The Investigators have
found evidence of "gross neglect, ln-
diffennce and profiteering," of a kind
to constitute "a black reproach on the
honor ot the nation." The memorial
charges thct the mentally disabled
have been placed, in many Instances,
in Institutions already overcrowded;
that they have been farmed out to
private institutions, and that In many
instances these Institution have made
a profit of $300 on each patient from
the $547.50 maintenance fee paid by
the government. Conditions such as
these, the memorial continues, have
resulted in rendering permanently in-
sane many veterans, who, under prop-
er treatment, might have been re-
stored to complete sanity.
These are serious charges, touch-
ing the honor of the American nation,
and the government authorities should

The telephone jangled Imperiously.
Andrew raised his eyes from Ids after-

her manner.
"I suppose I am elected," said Imo-
gene, laying down her book Impa-
tiently.
"Hello," she said, picking up the re-
ceiver.
"Yes, Indeed," she went on. "I was
in the sunparlor of the club room
when It hapened and saw the whole

"Surely I will tell you about it,
wait till I get a chair." She left the
phone, pulled up a chair, and An-
drew's eyes went back to his paper.

OLD-FASHIONED DINNERS
Oil, Happy Day.
It will be splendid when wars arc
ended and peace has come to say,
when swords are busted and cannon
rusted, and no ona yearns to slay.
Through all the ages, In futile rug s,
the sons of men have fought, in war
It wasn't too much for her In the dnya of

To get n dinner ready for a doien friends
or ao;
The mother never grumbled ftt the cooking
filio must do
Or the dusting or the aweeplng but alie
acemed to amlle It through,
And the times that we were happiest, be-
yond the slightest doubt,
Were when good friends were coming and
we atretchcd the table out.
We never thought when we were young to
take our frlende away
And entertain them at a club or In aome

When mother gave a dinner, she would plan
It all hi-rnvK
And feed the people that she liked the beat

That good old-fashioned table, 1 can gee It
still today
With its curious legs of varnished onk round
which I used to play;
It wasn't much to look at, not as stylish or
reflntd
Or as costly or ns splendid as the oval
modern kind.
But It always had a welcome for our
friends to sit about.
And though twenty guests were coming,
we could ulways stietch It out.
I learned It from my mother—It la foolish
pride to roam,
The only place to entertain your friends la
right at home.
Just let them In by dozens, let thorn laugh
and sing and play
And come to love and know them In the
good old-fashioned way;
Home's the place for fun and friendship,
home's the place where Joy may shout
And If you crowd our dining room, we'll

of It."
Andrew laid his paper in his lap
and looked up In amazement.
"The very first thing that happened
Floss bit Nell on the neck, and did
it so quickly I don't believe Nellie
really realized how It happened, and
it must have hurt for Nellie cried out
something fearful."
Andrew leaned forward In his chair
and wondered.
"But Nellie was not afraid for she

her three or four f et across the lawn,

"She rushed out and I heard her
say, 'Why this is disgraceful,' but al-
though Nellie released her hold, she
ran around the other side of the Hal-
ley woman and grabbed Flossie by the
leg with her teeth and—"
"For the love of Mike," broke In
Andrew. "Who nre those women?
What happened at the Country club
this afternoon?"
"Just a minute, d ar," went on Imo-
gene. "Andrew, don't talk to me now,
you know I cannot listen to you and
talk over the phone too." Turning
her face to the "telephone again, she
continu-d: "Then tho Halley woman

began to choke her to make her let
go of Flossie's leg, nnd—"
"Stop," said Andrew Insistently. "I

"Walt Just a minute dear," said
Imogene into the telephone. "I must
ssy a word or two to a foolish hus
band. Now what Is It?" she said,
turning to Andrew.
"It's just this," snapped Andrew.
"If two fool women have so far for-
gotten themselves as to have a per-
sonal encounter on the club house
lawn, I don't want you to be gossiping
about It."
"Honey," said Imogene. "This fool-
ish man has been listening to me,
which is very impolite, and thinks two
women were fighting on the club-
house lawn this afternoon Instead of
two miserable lap dogs owned by two
women who hate each other cordially.
As I was saying when Nellie quit bit-
ing Flossie's leg—"
"Humph," grunted Andrew, turn-
ing back to his paper with a vain at-
tempt at dignity.
