White Caps of Uniform De-
sign to Be Worn by the
Tulsa Excursionists.
ADOPT A NEW SLOGAN
Purpose of Tours Is Not to
Draw All Patronage
From Small Towns.

The date of the next trade eXcur-
sion of Tulsa business men was set
for Tuesday, March 23, at a directors
meeting of the Tulsa Retail Mer-
chants association last evening. The
route was left TO the discretion OF
the committee, but the sense Of the
meeting showed preference to the
southwest territory.
On the next excursion each booster
must provide himself with a uniform
and white hat, which will be chosen
by a committee appointed last eve
ming. The three clothing men pres
ent, Henry Condor, Lee Kunsman
and Max Madansky, were appointed
to serve on the committee. Harvey
Olds was appointed to provide an
nouncements of the excursion for the
local paper of each town to be vls-
tied. The point was made that many
Of the points did not provide ready
welcome because the spirit Of the eX-
cursion was misunderstood, Buy at

was proposed as a slogan rather than
the idea that Tulsa merchants wish
to steal home patronage.
Wants IL Tulsa Made.
Vigorous protest against the COM
pany which put out the city directory
last year was brought to bear by the
directors in a resolution which ia
Vored the publishing of the directory
by a Tulsa press. A committee COM
posed of Walter Olds, Dan Hunt and
Max Madansky was appointed to
confer with local printing establish
ments in the hope of directory,
pledging the support Of the retailers
to the project.
K. +. Mcclure, assistant superin-
tendent OF the Tulsa postoffice, in
brief address before the directors ex-
planned that an early Monday morn
ing delivery could not be provided
except at the cost Of demoralizing
the mail service during the entire
day. He said that the postoffice de-
pRrtment had never seen fit to give
an extra force Of hands for Monday
in any city, all of which handle the
situation as does Tulsa.

that the world is round, or that Mis-
souri, has the finest climate on earth.
This may be due on the one hand to
/ simple osseocerebral ignorance, CT, on
the ether hand, it may result from
the fact that youth is continually
reaching the age when the pursuit OF
rainbows is an occupation too fasc1-
mating to resist. We find this tenden-
cy illustrated in politics. About once
in generation the young men of the
country, unwilling to accept the evi.
dence of their senses or the testimony
of history, conceive the utter mistak-
en- and fatuous notion that the repub-
,lican party is not attending properly
to the job of managing the govern
ment, and they get together and Ell
feet a change. But in the immediate
subsequent they bind up their wounds,
swear never again. and pitch in to
restore the statu quo ante. They have
learned the lesson and are likely
thereafter to be good for the rest of
their lives. Ear be is from us to In
innate that there is any connection
between bank robbery and politics.
On the contrary, we consider them
antithetical. But if the youth of the
land can be shown that it is as I'M
profitable, as futile and as disastrous
to rob bank as it IS to buck the
republican party, much will have been
done for general morality and for the
unstrung nerves of bank directors.

proud OF their country; they know its

leadership among all peoples. and
they do 1ot want the republic run IN

made inferior to any in power. rank,

The great majority of the people

They know that to be dependent,
as they desire there must be the mer-

they are willing to pay for these two

They know this cannot be done
without an increase in the revenues.
They know that for months there
has been deficit and that war tax
is being collected from them to make
up the deficiency in the revenues
caused by unforeseen conditions sud

The war tax is offensive to all. The
deficit they deplore; and they will

other, small electric signs, illuminatel
with miniature Mazda lamps, are CON-
ing into general use.
| There is so much published about
world beating electric signs OF NAM
moth proportions that the miniature
signs are almost forgotten. And yet
! these small signs nightly guide Us
! about cities and villages in ever in
icreasing numbers. Large electric
signs serve only as advertising de-
vices of unquestioned value at night
when ordinary poster signs are hid
! den from sight, but the miniature
! electric signs find another, and equal
iIy important field, and are used main
| Iy for guiding purposes. An illuminas-
ed DOCTORS sign does not tell anything
about the doctor, it merely shows
where the doctor can be found after
dark. Tiny electric lamps are also
used to illuminate house numbers on
dark streets where they serve tho
same purpose. Anyone who has tried
to hunt up house number on dark
and strange street knows the value OF
an Illuminated number.
Miniature electric signs are also
used to illuminate street names. for
directing purposes in large buildings
and other public places. Small indus
tries, such as locksmiths, taflors
bookbinders, printers, ETC., find these
small signs valuable not only to direct
customers to their places Of business
but as advertising signs. Another
type of miniature sign is adapted TO
all lines of business, but are particu'
larly qualified for the use of discrim-
mating advertisers, whose needs are
for continually changing signs.
With an outfit of number of min
iature lamp letters various signs can
be constructed at will and changed as
often as may be desired for special
attraction. The letters are three and
one-half inches in height above the
base, on which the character is mount
ed, and are so constructed that they
may be assembled into different words
or combinations of words as desired.
Adjustable metal fixtures are supplied
which are So easily set up for use
that no expense is necessary in as
sembling either the fixtures or electric
letters.
