Mr.. Sato left Vienna August u, in
what came to be known as the lam
bassadorial train" On the outskirts
Of the city the cars were stoned.
About twenty windowpanes were de-
molished. but no one was hurt.
Mr.. Sato's long residence in the
United States and his knowledge OF
American conditions, together with
his long experience in diplomacy in
many countries, are believed to we'll
qualify him for the post at Washing
ton, though regret is expressed at the
departure of Viscount Chinda, whose
handling of the immigration question
met with noticeable commentator.
In this connection it is noted that the
attitude of the congress in meeting
Japan's wishes on the Burnett bill has
caused favorable impression in
Japan.
Mr.. Sato, who is of medium height,
is alert and active in manner and
gives an impression Of directness and
businesslike capacity. He speaks in
English with extreme facility. Like
all Japanese. he is a hard worker.
When he can find a spare moment in
his diplomatic duties he quietly >dnds

TRADE HELD BACK A LITTLE.
Crop Prospects Not - Good as They Were
Earlier In season.

New York, Aug. t.-Dun's Review tomor-
row will say:
Exceptionally gratifying reports regard
ing trade, industry and transportat ton are
somewhat modified by less favorable news
from the agricultural regions, Yet the re-
duced crop estimates while accentuating the
tendency toward wholesome conservatism,
have not raised doubts as to the mainten-
ance Of the forward movement In business.
In spite Of the various drawbacks and un.
certainties. confidence In sustained economic
progress Ia undminlshed, the large increase
In new enterprises testifying to strong
faith In the future.
Notwithstanding tho magnitude OF pre-
vious purchases. many interests are disposed
to extend commitments further, being
prompted to cover far-distant needs by fears
OF growing scarcity Of supplies and the
possibility that prices may go still higher.
Recoveries have occurred In certain lines
that recently showed evidences Of reaction,
such AZ In steel and dry goods, while addi-
tional advances appear In commodities which
thus far have given no signs of yielding.

would do credit to any of the large
cities of the country, as the crowds
literally filled the business section
from one end of town to the other,
the one expression that was heard on
every hand was, you must take your
hat off to Walter Gilbert"
Gilbert is the man who first con-
ceived the idea of the Style Show.
He it was who enthused Ardmore
merchants until they visited other
cities to bring home ideas to be eX-
ecuted here. He it was who went
from town to town advertising the
event; he it was who looked to the
final success of the venture, and was
never discouraged from the very day
the first announcement was made.
When the rain came the night before
the most important day, and when
rain fell throughout the morning
hours, Mr.. Gilbert never once COM
planned, he never lost his patience, he
never grew nervous, his confidence
gave courage to those working with
him, and before the hour of festivi-
ties were to begin in earnest, the
clouds broke, the rain ceased, and
the event was attended with every
success except that out-of-town guests
were not so numerous as they would
have been otherwise. But had that

- VERIFYING must have its first
S~ existence in thought There
was never dam built, a
house constructed or forest
cleared that did not exist first in
thought. Things do not just happen,
they must first be conceived, and
then executed
Just so with the Ardmore Style
Show which ended during the past
week. 1t did not just happen,-it
first existed as a vision. 1t was
moulded and chiseled in the mind
and then trained hands executed er-
cry piece of work with that degree
Ardmore from the outside world. As
others have held in high respect our
city, based upon its achievements.
just so must ArdmOre express its
gratitude and appreciation to the men
and women who made Style Show
success, that honor might come TO
Ardmore.
No Debts Left over.
Among the pleasing features of the
week of festivities are these facts:
That money in plentiful sums was
used to make it a success, and that
the Ardmore Merchants association,
under whose auspices it was held,
does not owe a penny, but every bill
has been taken care of, and there
are no regrets or burdens anywhere
along the line.
Work in Unison.
The city worked together in unison.
There were no differences of opinion
that marred the happiness of individ-
uals or interfered with the success of
the venture. There was no selfish
end sought, no personal ambition to
crafty.
Conceived the idea.
When Walter S. Gilbert, secretary
of the Merchants association, told
the association of his plans, he also
told them that it would bring 10000
people to Ardmore There were

Netary he might as well say 10000,
and he looked out of those clear, blue
eyes and told them, then they would
make it $4,000.
The secretary had done his plan
ming, he mapped out way to sue
cess, the vision was so plain to him
that he knew he could not fail. His
earnestness brought to his side every
merchant of the association, and as
one plan after another was executed
in harmony, they awoke to the i'm
Iortance of the event, and with very
few exceptions. every merchant put
his shoulder to the wheel and helped

women who worked unselfshly for
the success of the enterprise, and it
could not have been all it was with

gance of the decorations placed upon
her car in the parade The decora-
tons consisted of flowers, hats, etc,
taken from her millinery stock, and
1t was probably the most expensive
ly decorated car in the entire parade.
The intelligence employed by Mrs.
Westheimer and Miss Ryburn was re-
i!ected in the proiusion of flowers
that lent so much charm to the oc-
casion.
Ardmore is Grateful.
The entire city of Ardmore appre-
Ciates the work which was done by
these people The committees were
selected with care, they were chosen
from among the workers, and each
member took a special pride in his or
her work. Those members who were
not given committee assignments en-
tered heartily into the work, and it
was due to the combined efforts Of
all, under the leadership of Secre-
tary Gilbert, that the affair was the
brilliant success which it was.
The Ardmoreite but voices the
gratitude of all the people of the city
when it expresses thanks to the Ard
more Merchants association and to
its individual members for the fine
piece of work which they have done
in the interest of a greater Ardmore.
Just such events are the distinguish.
ing features between city and
town, between a city that is ready
to grow and do big things, and the
one that has had its growth and is
ready to sit and depend upon past
honors for success.
All honor to Ardmore merchants,
and we hope to work with you an
other year, even better than we did
this time.
