AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connect ed in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
The World Outlook
Many experienced observ
ers of world affairs are greatly
alarmed over the present out
look. Some go so far as to
predict that another Euopean
was is inevitable, and perhaps
not a long way off. Even the
most optimistic must agree
that a serious situation exists.
This, we believe, is not be
cause any nation really wants
war, but it is because econom
ic conditions are so desperate
in most European countries
that the governments in power
are unable to satisfy the de
mands of their own people for
a chance to earn their daily
bread. There is suffering in
America —real suffering—
among a large element of our
population. But it is relatively
slight in comparison with what
is being experienced in some
other parts of the world.
The pitiful paradox is that
there is enough food and
clothing and raw materials in
the world to make every one
fairly comfortable if some
means could be found for its
rational distribution.
The granaries of the United
States and Canada are almost
bursting with surplus wheat
while' millions go hungry:
there is an immense cotton
surplus while millions go un
clad; other basic commodities
go begging because those who
need them have no money
with which to buy.
Will the statesmen and busi
ness leaders of the world be
able to avert the crisis which
these conditions threaten to
bring about?

Hcncrary Degrees
Among the valuable public
services that may be placed to
the credit of Will Rogers, his
1 recent debunking of honorary
degrees is conspicious and re
freshing. When he was offer
ed the honorary degree of L.
H. D. (Doctor of Humanities
by Oklahoma City University,
he gracefully declined the hon
or in a telegram which was
both humorous and evidently
; sincere.
After explaining that the
highest degiee he would ac
cept would be A. D. (Doctor
of Applesauce) only if confer
red by the kindergarten de
partment of the Oolagah pub
lic school, Will added:
“What are you trying to do?
Make a joke out of college
degrees? They are in bad
enough repute as it is, with
out trying to hand them around
to comedians. The whole hon
orary degree thing is the
‘hooey.’ I saw some college
giving Mellon one, and he is a
billion bucks short. I got too
much respect for people that
work and earn ‘ein to see 'em
handed around to every notor
ious character.”
In recognition of Will’s good
judgment the Eagle of Doth
lm, Alabama, suggested that
ivery University in the country
should with one accord confer
upon him the degree of C. S.
D. (Doctor of Common Sense).
Collegiate degrees conferred
is a result of conformance to
:urriculum requirements are
generally futile enough. The
honorary degree is not only
rutile, but positively amusing
to anyone with a sense of
humor approaching that of
Will Rogers.
-o
May Be Wrong
The world’s financiers and
rconomists in control place
heir whole reliance on the J
?old standard fetish. They may
be wrong. They may have a
monopoly of the world’s gold,
but that does not say they have
a monopoly of the world’s
brains! If gold and victuals
are hoarded to the detriment
of starving millions, why not
do something to make the mis
ers disgorge? Monetizing silv
er would help to break down
their great resource—would
make them come down to a
common level.—Western Can

Once upon a time a man said

No, No, Maudie. A chain
store is not where you buy a

Short Story. An old lady said
to the drugstore man: “I wani

“Sure,” answered the druggist,
"What’s the matter with the
