: By Arthur Perry
Agitation has been launched tor
the closing of moving picture shows
upon the Sabbath. The chlet tunc
tlons of the movie Is to entertain, in.
struct and amuse, therefore, it Is
deadly. Bigotry and prudery, like
wild mustard and Bolshevism, once
they get a tall hold are difficult to
pry loose. ; :,
' Most people can see the Justness In
prohibition, but they can not see
harm' in the sweet wlnsomeness of
Norma Talmadge, or the antics of the
cock-eyed comedian setting down on
a hot horseshoe. The fllniB preach
sermons, often with an effectiveness
the pulpit might envy.
Much of the opposition to prohibi
tion comes from the fear that it will
be only a wedge to open the way for
an avalanche of half-baked reform
theories, fathered and mothered by
Belf-appointed emissaries who will
Impose hairtrlgger notions - galore,
that serve no good, and accomplish
nothing except to annoy.
Somebody Is always predicting a
"social upheaval." 'Efforts to deprive
people of the "movies" and similar
amusements, is liable to bring an
"upheaval" the unexpected way.

j "The- past 4 years I have been go

of the stomach and had to give up
work a year ago because of my weak

from bloating and collo attacks.
Muyr's Wonderful Remedy was rec
ommondod to me. I took a course of
It and am now feeling fine." It is a
simplo, harmless preparation that
removes the catarrhal mucus from

THE HOME STUDY TOUR
TVT ORALS," said Ruskin 'arc the result of home envir
iVx 'onment. Home environment is not the result of
morals. No man or woman will -respond to eithical per
suasion if surrounded by filth and discomfort, and no man
will either be a good citizen or a good worker, if he lives in
dirt and material squalor." ,
In other words a comfortable home, sunnlied with con
veniences and free from depressing confusion, is. the first
step to a. self -respecting and efficient emzensmp. it ife
particularly important in rural .communities and of tre
mendous moment to the rural housewife. .
The home study tour in Jackson county which will he
held May 21st and 22nd, is designed to give a practical
demonstration of what has been done by local ranchers in
the way of making their.horaes more convenient and more
attractive. The ladies of Phoonix will be hostesses the
first day and the ladies of the Greater Medford Club will
serve coffee near the Carpenter home tjicseaond 4a'. Pro
fessor Peck of 0. A. C. will be on hand, to give suggestions
and explain the advantages in the arrangement - and
equipment of the homes visited.
This is another excellent movement, promoted by.; the
county rural agents, C. C. Gate and Miss Anne McCormick,
and should be heartily supported by the people of Southern
Oregon. - No individuals in the community are doing more
valuable work and more practical constructive service
than Mr. Cate and Miss McCormick, and with the visit ing
nurse, Miss McGrail, they deserve the praise and gratitude
of every resident of the county. .'' '.,-')
This Home Study tour should be a splendid success,
and be made a permanent feature of the rural reconstruc
tion movement in this part of the state." -
iThe Skull of Sultan Okwama
WASHINGTON, May 19. "Ger
many is to restore within six months
. . . the skull of the Sultan Okwana,
formerly In German East Africa," lo
his Britannic majesty's government."
''This sentence from the official
summary of the peace treaty present
ed to the Germans at Versailles set
official Washington wondering and
swamped libraries and scientific in
stitutions In the capital with Inquir
ies," says a bulletin from the Nat
ional Georgrapnic society.
"Among some tribes of Africa, in
cluding German East Africa, skulls
of former rulers, called sultans, are
held in high veneration, and their
possession often 1b of marked politi
cal value. , '
"There are numerous tribes in
German East Africa alone, and as
many of these sultans as there are
tribes. It, is apparent that Sultan
Okwana was a sort of Mohammed or
Confucius among his clansmen, and
that the nation which assumes sover
eignty over the people who revefe his
memory, and probably worship his
skeletal remains, will be received
with greater friendliness if it can re
store the pre Ioub talisman,
"Furthermore the removal of the
skull sheds a sidelight upon the long
arm of German propaganda, reaching
even into darkest Africa In contem
plation of 'der tag' of Prussia's day
under the scorching equatorial sun.
"The German government contrib
uted a goodly sum lor an expedition
headed by Adotphus Frederick, Duke
of Mecklenburg, which ostensibly
made a scientific study of the Ger
man protectorate in Africa in 1901-
08.
"There is good reason to 'believe
that the explorers were not wholly
unaware of political advantages and
by way of a tribal coup d'etat took
away with them the skull which now
has gained such unlooked for public
ity. '.''
"The duke wrote a book about his
travels in which ho states, in sum
marizing the results of his expedi
tion, that '1,017 skulls and about
4000 ethnographlca were collected.'
. "Ho described visits to various
sultans.' At one point he digresses
from botany and linguistics to give
this naive comment on German pol
icy:, 'It is desired to strengthen and
enrich the sultan and persons: , in
authority, "and to increase thereby
their interest In the countenance ofl
German rule . . . At the same time,
by stondlly controlling and dirpctitiR
TO BE-
'-' " .
' , .V . - V
what appears to be therein
safe now to remove the ban
the sultan and using his powers, civ
ilizing influences would be introduc
ed. Thus by degrees, and almost Im
perceptibly to the sultan himself, he
eventually becomes nothing less than
the executive instrument of the resi
dent (German governor),'
But Germany's early policy In her
African colonial expansion was mark
ed by no such adrojt methods; rather
by just such disregard of native cus
toms and ruthless measures as that
indicated by her removal of the skull
referred to in the treaty. Karl Pet
ers, one of the ;irst Germans to seek
to exploit African resources, institut
ed such a reign of terror among the
natives by inhuman treatment and
especially by wholesale murders of
their women that the German gov
ernment was compelled to remove his
commission until the storm of civil
ized protest blew over. .
"But Peters was soon restored and
other, bureaucratic German officials
rudely deposed native rulers, instead
of cooperating with them as did the
British, and thus incited numerous
native uprisings. One of these, in
1906, cost, nearly 125,000 native
lives before the Africans succumbed
to the same sort of terrorism as that
Instituted Iri Belglum' In 1914.'
"The duke commented on. the gen
erosity of the natives in presenting
gifts but noted that 'yet .the purchase
of ethnographical matorlal met with
obstinate opposition.' He explained
that each clan reveres some totem,
believing that the spirit of the de
ceased enters these objikts of rever
ence.. , '
"The totem Is Just as apt to be an
animal, or part of an animal the
duke mentions the toad, crested
crane, the leopard, and the goat as
a skull. Incidentally this fact helps
explain the reverence of the old time
southern 'Darkey for such tokens as
the 'left hind leg of a grave yard rab
bit caught on a dark night.' '

sirloin steak in. different cities at prices
ranging from 33 to 66 centsi!
We buy, live cattle, according . to
quality, all the way from $7.00 to $20.00 per
hundred-weight, live. weight. Sirloins from
these cattle vary greatly in quality.
Some retailers sell 33 cent sirloins.
These steaks come from cheaper cattle.
Customers of other retailers demand
choice sirloins at 66 cents. These retailers
buy meat from higher-priced cattle.
. , , . . .
Also, the retailer who carries complete
stocks, delivers to your door, and lets you
run a charge account, has to get higher
prices than the retailer who runs a "cash
.and carry" store. ;
We sell beef of a given quality at
practically the same price all over the
country except for slight differences "due'.
. to freight rates.
And our profit hardly affects the price
at all only a fraction of a cent per pound.
