OÜB STANDARD Right, Truth, Justice in all our dealings with the public
political, social and industrial; a sence of responsibility to our constituen
cy and our loyalty to the interests of Holbrook and Navajo county.
Creating A Famine
It is being openly charged by some of the largest
newspapers in this country that a coal shortage is beinp
purposely framed up with a view to creating a famine
this winter sufficient in extent to send the price of coal
higher than it has ever been. It - seems the report is
largely based on facts, too, and proven by a survey of the
coal mining districts. It is high time the federal govern
ment turned. its attention to this matter. A stitch in
time saves nine, and an ounce of prevention now will be
worth a pound of cure along about the time the temper
ature drops towards zero and the coal bin is empty. We
have been taught to look to our government for protec
tion, and that's why we feel we are entitled to have it
now, when a dangeróus practise threatens to cause suf
fering in the homes of millions of our people.
Teaching Daughter
- It is a mistaken kindness for any Holbrook mother
to do the work a daughter should do. Every girl should
have certain duties about the home, and as she grows
older these duties should increase and the work of the
mother should decrease. It is a big mistake to let your
daughter fritter her time away, trying to make you
think she is not strong enough to take serious responsi
bility. You may not wish her to take big responsibilities
but you should fill her time with useful and interesting
employment. No matter who the girl, there comes a
time when she is going to find it essential to know some
thing about housekeeping, and experience and informa
tion in regard to household duties are valuable assets to
a woman, no matter how much money she may have.
Carrying Weapons
We believe Holbrook citizens who are accustomed to
reading of the rapidly increasing number of . tragedits
being enacted throughout the country will agree with us
when we say there ought to be laws enacted prohibiting
the purchase of pistols or other deadly weapons without
a written permit from a sheriff, a chief of police, town
marshall or some responsible constable or magistrate.
This thing of charging to the hardware store every time
you get enraged or when the old carnal nature begins to
call for revenge is becoming too common, and with a little
legislative assistance, by making it difficult to buy a
deadly weapon, it would prevent many a fellow from
committing murder. We have studied the matter care
fully, and we have been unable to see just why a country
boasting the type of citizenship and Christianity should

to place them on the market where it becomes possible
for anyone, young or old, responsible or irresponsible, to
become the bearer of an article as dangerous as it is pos
ible for human brain to invent.
Not So Bad
Notwithstanding hot July and August days and
threatened drouths we have slipped into September with
a bountiful crop in prospect. Wheat was pretty fair,
taken the whole country over; oats and hay not extra'
but there will be enough, and poultry products are de
clared to have been profitable an the average throughout
the entire summer.
Farmers around Holbrook tell us there is more
money in hogs this year than at normal times, and all
those who have marketed their corn by way of the pig
are not complaining of prices. Finished beef is being
marketed with profit by good feeders, although old cows
and canners are literally down to the bone. Sheep are
declared to be too cheap, but the lamb crop, has been
fairly remunerative.
Taken by and large and on the whole, the sentiment
as well as the prospects on the farm are better than they
have been since the slump started a year ago. And as
the farm runs, so runs the town to a large extent. Some
thing like normal purchases are now being made by re
sidents of both town and country, where prices are right
and the wheels are begining to move again. We've still
lots to grumble about, and all of us do our share of it.
But we are pretty well agreed that things are slowly be
coming brighter, that they could be a whole lot worse.
There Is still a lot in faith, and right now is a good time
to put plenty of faith in the future, to believe that next
week is going to be a much better week than this.

What Causes Blow-Outs?
Fully 90 per cent of all blow-outs
8 re the direct result of stone
bruises or road bumps.
Tben isn't it entirely reasonable "
that better protection for the
fabric carcass of your tire would
give you more miles?
That is one of the reasons why
the Gates Super-Tread Tire is delivering-
extra mileage.
It has a wider and thicker tread
to keep the bumps away from the
fabric.

Camels are made for Men who
Think for Themselves
Such folks know real quality-and DEMAND it.
They prefer Camels because Camels give them the
smoothest, mellowest smoke they can buy because
they love the mild, rich flavor of choicest' tobaccos,
perfectly blended and because Camels leave NO
CIGARETTY AFTERTASTE.
,
Like every man who does his own thinking," you .
want nne tooacco in your cigarettes. .You'll find it
in Camels.
And, mind you, no flashy package just for show.
No extra wrappers! No costly frills! These things
don't improve the smoke any more than premiums
or coupons.' .
But QUALITY! Listen! That's CAMELS!

the first opportunity she had.
It came during one of the

bright red sweater to wear.
He touched her arm. "I
