Frat Printer Found,

A French semi-scientif1c magazine
does away with the discussion as to
who was the first printer. Here Is it's
story: When Agesilaus observed be-
Tore the battle that. made his name
That his soldiers doubted success, he
wrote on his hands. inverting the let.
ters, the word Victory" in Greek, OF
course. When the priest appeared
with the sacrifice, bulls liver, the
great captain laid his hand on the
nesh and kept it there for some time.
After he removed 1t the word "Yio.
tory" was printed there, patent to ali
eyes and this Greek was undoubtedly
Ine first printer. The soldiers saw
what they supposed to be "a message
from the gods" and fought like lions.

Z ster Clearing Sale have been
fully set forth We believe that
now is the time to stock up with new
goods, that the present price basis is
fair and equitable basis on which both
labor aud capital can feel safe.
The recent declines in prices have
been stopped and we can see clearly the.
advancing prices which manufacturers
are bound to demand.
Every day we are receiving letters
and notices from manufacturers and i'm
porters Withdrawing old lists and substi-
stuting higher prices. That is why we
are buying SO heavily, that's why for the
past four weeks we've been making such
large purchases, that's why we must
clean up, close out and clear up all brok-
en- lines, dropped patterns, summer goods
and excess stock to make room for these
new purchases, that's why the prices in
this sale are cut so much lower than 9TH
er sales, that accounts for the great Sue
cess of this sale and why it stands in
class by itself in value giving, in en-
thusiasm and in results. You can buy
at this sale in the full confidence that
every dollar will get the greatest returns.
1t is wonderful what a loud noise
money makes in these days. We can
hear it's loud tramp coming hundred
miles to this Big Clearing Sale.

Guthrie, Okla Oct. 2l.--State Bank
Commissioner Smock tonight made
the following statement concerning
the action of the Coalgate grand jury
recommending his removal from Of

Regarding the Coalgate dispatch
stating that the grand jury exonerat-
eE the officers OF the International
Bank OF Coalgate and recommends my
removal from Office for closing the
bank for political purposes, must say
that am surprised that any body of.
men of average intelligence could be
so grossly mislead. They are either
Ignorant or have purposely disregard
ed the facts In the case In order to
slap the guaranty law in the heat of
a political campaign. That sworn Of
icers of the law would stoop to such
methods is almost beyond belief
So far as my action In closing the
bank Is concerned, have no apologies
to make and will follow the same
course again should it become neces-
sary ! am a republican and am GER
tainly not running this office to make
political thunder for the democratic
party. | am trying to administer the
law as | fnid it, impartially and in a.
business-like manner and expect to
continue along the same lines during
my official service, The facts in the
Coalgate case are plain as the records
viii show and there is no question bur
that the Officers OF the sank were
guilty OF wllfully and knowingly vio-
latins the provisions of the banking
laws,
