NOT' WORRIED BY CLOTHES
Natives Went Naked Until Scandal
ized White Missionary Hailing
From Tahiti Gathered Old
Garments for Them.
Rapa, DangevouS Archipelago, South
Pacific.—They toil not, neither do they
spin, and in all the reaches of the
•even seas it would take a long voyage
to find a more lazy population of men
Ilian Rapa’s.
In Rapa the women are the hewers
- ^ of wood and the drawers of water. In
other happy climes of Micronesia «and
Polynesia the self-appointed ‘lord of
creation.’’ will deign to raise h!s hand
aloft and pluck for himself the fruit
of the lianann and orange tree. In
Rapa, however, lie will not even feed
himself.
* When mealtime comes the woman of
l lie family, after foraging for food and
cooking it, must also put It Into the
mouth of her lord and master. They
roll the taro “poP’Mnto little balls and
loss them Into the open mouths of the
men folks.
Nut Worried by Clothes.
Tlie people of Rapa wear no clothes
—or did not until a scandalized white
missionary from Tahiti insisted on
gathering some old garments from his
more favored parishioners in Papeete
and hurried them to Rapa.
Rapa, known also as Oparo, Is one of
the most isolated and most interesting
islands in the South Pacific. It lies
south of Tahiti, far out in the tropics.
Included in the French settlements in
v Oceania and inhabited by Polynesian
of the same type as the Tahitians.
It is one of the few spots most light
ly touched by the finger of civilization
Seldom does a schooner touch here—
not more than once a year—and once
in a great while a French gunboat
from Papeete will voyage Into the
Dangerous archipelago.
Has Coal Deposits.
The island itself is mountainous
with strange castle-like peaks rising
In the interior. It possesses a good
harbor, and, what Is most unique In
I he South Sea islands, has deposits of
oal, not of very good quality, though.
When tlie Panama canal was near
Hg completion there was much talk in
Tahiti of establishing a coaling station
here, Rapa being close to the southern
great circle route and admirably adapt
til to such a purpose, but no such
thing had come to rudely shock tin
serene existence of Rapa nien.

NINE SADDLES TO THE HORSE
When Thompson’s colt swam the
river to get a drink of water, that was
thought to be about the silliest thing
ever. Yet that performance was ex
celled many times during the late
world’s war. And it was a man. not
a yearling colt, that broke the record.
Astonishing things were done, during
the war, many of which, doubtless,
have not yet come to li^ht.
■ The Government’s leather (head)
| expert ordered 945 000 high , grade
army saddles for just 104,00 cavalry
! horses. This is about nine saddles per
| horse. Just why that expert figures
! he would need such a backload of sad
| dies for those horses has never been
, ascertained, but his mental perform
t nice clearly puts him in the same boat
i with Thompson’s colt. See if you can
] solve the riadle; nobody else seems to
j be able to.
Again, another leather expert
i ordered enough harness at one time to
require in their construction 300,000
more hides than the Government could
procure in a year’s time.
Still another expert (?) ordered six
halters, five nose bags and four covers
a piece for those' cavalry horses, and
another one purchased four curry
combs ^or each of them.
But another “dollar a yeas” man
pulled the biggest “boner” of them all.
He purchased two branding irons a
piece for those horses—not ordinary
steel branding irons either, but made
of copper and fearfully expensive.
To cap the climax, another expert
ordered that the horses be branded on
the hoofs, regardless of the fact that
the marks would grow out in a few
weeks.
Verily, Thompson’s colt had plenty
of company.
MAKE NO MISTAKE
ABOUT THE WOMEN.
Omaha Bee: The United States in
the Wilson League of Nations means
American youth in uniform in many
foreign countries.
It means American boys in every
war the world over.
It means multiplied instances of oc
cupation abroad such as Woodrow Wil
son is now continuing in Germany,
where 18,00ft American boys in khaki
are held to police a small section of
German soil, instead of being at home
where they belong.
It means 'Americah soldiers where
ever danger of sudden death looms up
among a hundred peoples over the
globe.
It means anxiety and bereavement
for every American family that has a
son in the army or navy.
Our own wars bring us enough
heartaches, try the mothers of the
land sorely enough every twenty or
thirty years. The league would let
us in for all the wars of the world.
In the face of these facts the demo
cratic orators have the insolence to
say “the women are for the league.”
Don’t you believe it. The women are
for their own families and homes.
They do not want their sons to be shot
and bayoneted to keep Russin or any
other foreign land in order. They
aay: “Go, my son; and God bless and
preserve you!” when our own country
is attacked, but never will they con
sent to have their sons conscripted
to fight the battles of aliens in foreign
lands. Because the Wilson League
means just that they will vote for
their safety and against the demo
cratic candidates who seek to make
our boys liable to foreign military
service.
Wilson fooled the mothers of the
country four years ago. His under
study, Cox, will not fool them this
year.
The women who know what the Wil
son League are against Cox, who is
for it.

Such a phonograph
i
LET us show you the Certificate of Authenticity
which Mr. Dalhart has signed. This is the
outstanding fact which comes to you out of
the memorable tone-test recital given Thursday,
September 2nd, in the K. C. Opera House. A new
era in music is here. Mr. Edison has lifted the
phonograph to the dignity of a new art.
You can no longer be satisfied with a phonograph
that imitates. Now, you want a phonograph that
equals the human voice.
You know' there is such a phonograph. Mr.
Edison made an astonishing test with the Official
Laboratory Model of the New Edison to prove it.
O’Neill heard the New Edison Re-Create Vernon
Dalhart’s voice in direct comparison with Dal
hart’s living vohe. So realistic was the New
Edison’s perform nee that no one in the entire
audience could dit Aguish it from Dalhart’s living
voice.
J5he NEW EDISON
“The Phonograph with a Soul”
You yourself can have such a phonograph. Let
us show you exact duplicates of the Official Labo
ratory Model, which triumphed in the tone test.
Let us show you the Certificate of Authenticity,
which Mr. Dalhart signed, after inspecting these
instruments, and in which the celebrated American
tenor declares that these instruments are the
equals in every respect of the instrument used in
the tone test.
You can buy your New Edison on a Budget Plan which
so distributes the payments that you’ll hardly feel them.
