GERMANS GET TICKETS FOR
MEAT ON SPECIFIED DAYS.

Berlin, June 24.-The suburb of
Grunewald has adopted unique
method of dispensing with crowds
waiting outside of butcher shops, by
announcing that it is to give to each
of it's citizens a number, according to
which each inhabitant will be enabled
to buy meat on specified days.
The butchers will be notified regu-
larly that on Monday meat may be
sold to given set of numbers (de-
pendent in size upon the available of
meat supply on hand) on Wednesday
to another specified set and so forth.
The plan, it is believed. Will result
in an absolutely equable distribution
of the supply.

A COUNTRY BOY.

We have read stories of the patriot.
ism of the Japanese and admired
their love for their native land, mar.
veled at their lack of fear of death
and shivered down our backs at the
thought some day we might have to
meet the brown man in fierce battle
in which our country's liberty might
be at stake.
But Japan by no means has a mo-
nopoly upon this thing of patriotism.
Every war we have ever had has
had its heroes by the score. Phillips
of the Texas and Hobson of the Mer-
rimack are but two slight instances
of what our men have done or will
do again.
Did you see in the press dispatches
the story of Hiram Johnson, All Ar
kansas youth who left his plow in the
field and walked twenty miles to en-
list in the service of his country for
the Mexican battle fields?
Johnson lives way out in the
country, he lives where patriotism
has its best growth, he lives away
from the artificial life, he lives where
he can read of evenings Of the patri-
otic acts in former wars and is i'm
bued with the duty of protecting his
own country from invasion. While
men and women love the gaiety and
companionship of the town yet when
we need real men it has always been
true that we had to go to the country.
We go there for big men at the bar
in craftsmanship and in business.
The hills, the valleys, the miracle
of growing crops, the scenery that
laws outstretched before the boy In
the country no Raphael could ever
paint-and these influences register
their mighty power in his character
The superficial ornamental has never
appealed to him. His very innocence

THE "NEW ARDMORE"
4 WAY.

This past. week has been
week of history making for
Ardmore. 1t has demonstrate
ed just what can be done when
to do something is necessary.
Less than ten days ago Ard
more faced the hotel problem
with but one of two things pos
sible, either the raising of near
ly sixty thousand dollars for
stock in hotel company to be
capitalized at y$l75,000.00 or
to forever hold its peace as to
hotel conditions in this city.
The time limit for raising this
money was July 18th.
Just how the real crisis was
met is manifest in today's an
nouncement that "Ardmore lis
ready and that Mr.. Sharpe,
the majority stockholder in the
hotel and builder of it, is to be
in this city Tuesday next to
complete the organization of
the company and to Immediate
ly begin active work. This
means that no time will
be lost before dirt is broken
and that we will have a
modern fireproof, elegant no.
tel commensurate with the
needs of the city Just as soon as
human energy can build it.
1t is the New Ardmore"
Spirit and to this spirit Ard
more will owe in the next few
years a development equalled
by none in the United States.

slider the hotel matter as set
tied. Now for the next thing.

FoRElGN-BoRN FOR HUGHES.

Foreign-born Citizens of the United
States have nedorsed Hughes they en-.
dorsed him before he had time to
get before the public with a broken
silence. they did not know wnat he
stood Tor. II was an anti.Wilson en-.
dorsement rather than an endorse
ment of Hughes The foreign born
citizen, is welcome to his choice and
the American born will be content
to accept Wilson for another four
years. We are willing that such
lines be drawn. We are willing that
men who stand against Americanism
should vote against Wilson and those
who stand for Americanism, for
peace and prosperity should vote for
him.

and incredulity are his friends. He
sees none of the shams and hypocri-
cies of life, he believes every man
sincere and honest, he pores over his
tory on rainy days and of evenings
and is inspired by the hundreds of
examples of patriotism.
One of the greatest boons that can
come to the life of any man is the
privilege of having been born and
reared in the country. Virility, force
fulness, physical and mental stamina
reach the maximum in those who
live close to the soI. 1t is natures
way to raise men.
Hiram Johnson of Arkansas may
never go beyond the mark of troop
er, but wherever he goes he will be
a hero. He can be trusted to perform
any sacred work upon the field of
battle where the lives of his country
men are at stake. If he should hap
pen TO develop the great properties
of the soul which are with every man
but in almost all case are dormant,
he will become one of the leaders in
war and will afterward be a leader
in peace.
The example of Hiram Johnson
shows that metle the American
youth is made and that kind of met
tie back of preparedness of the ma
ton will never know defeat in any
war.

IN WHICH CLASS ARE YOU?

Since the establishment OF this
government we have averaged one
war for every fifteen years. Ameri-
ca loves peace but it will scrap when
the occasion Is afforded. The
country is full of redblooded men
who are willing-to take their chance
of the field Of battle While that is
true there is bunch of foreign-born
who dynamite shipyards. shipping
stations, factories and often place
bombs in o,tr churches. The latter
is the class which has seen fit to
send broadcast its endorsement of
Charles r. Hughes.

ARGENTINE SHIPPERS ARE
PARTING WITH VESSELS

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Dec. s.
The whiting away Of the Argentine
merchant marine, freighters, passeng-
er boats and fishing fleet, continues
rapidly, owing to the foreign demand
for vessels. The best known of the
shipping companies in the River Platte
has parted with passenger and cargo
steamers without, it appears, any i'm
mediate intention of replacing them.
The sale of two more river boats is
announced, the purchasers being Eu-
ropean firms who have paid 100000
pounds sterling for them. Two modern
tugs have also been disposed of for
$4,000 pounds the pair.

GERMAN SARE PREPARING
VERY FAR 6EHIND FORTS

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Dec. 8.
According to information cleaned from
several hundred refugees from the oc.
cupied regions of northern France
who have been passing through Hol-
land, the Germans have prepared posi-
tons far behond their present front.
They are, it is said, reckoning more an
more on the possibility of retreat to
the Belgian frontier The positions
near Maubeuge and Hautmont are
even more formidable than those OF
Lille. The old forts are deserted, for
taking full account of the new methods
of warfare, the Germans have con-
structed network Of trenches, and
great earthern caverns made with the
aid of reinforced concrete and iron.
News comes from northern France
as well as from Belgium of the in
creasing number Of the population
who are being put to work by the Ger
mans. The normal industries have
long been stopped, but some manufac-
tories are veritable beehives of activ-
ity. This is the case, for instance, in
the Lille suburb of Elves, where
French and Blegians are employed in
the manufacture of ammunition.

PENSION PLAN MADE
READY FOR FOLKS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. S.-The
committee of the United Mine Workers
of America which has been inyestigat-
ing the question of old age pensions
of members of the organization, and
which will recommend in its report
that pensions of $40 month be paid
union miners So years old or more af-
, ter 1928, has made extensive investiga-
lions, according to reports to the ma
tional headquarters here. The commit
tee in its report will, it is announced
advise against home for aged miners,
/ taking that action after having visited
the homes for aged union members
maintained by the International Typo
graphical Union at Colorado Springs,
and the Printing Assistants Union at
Rogersville Tenn, as well as a num-
Der of homes maintained by fraternaI
societies and national soldiers homes.
The attitude of the committee as re-
vealed in advance announcements is
not against the homes as places of
! shelter, but is based on the belief that
the men of advanced years should be
, enabled to subsist without being com
PEELED to leave their families and live
in an institution.
AS a result of it's Investigation the
committee estimates that at least 1000
miners, on the basis of the present
membership will be eligible for pens
ions under the proposed plans. If a
per capita tax of 20 cents month is
levied by the next biennial convention,
, il is estimated that at the end of the
five year period, at which time the
pensions will commence, the organiza-
ton will have a pension fund of S.
! 100000, principal and interest, on
which to start meeting the cost of the
system. AS more money is obtained
for the pension fund, payments should
be increased, the age limit lowered, or
the per capita tax reduced, it is said.
The committee was appointed last
spring by President John P. White I'M
der authority given him in a resolu-
ton adopted at the last biennial con-
vention in Indianapolis.

PAY THE COSTlOF
EDUCATION NOW

(By ]. L. McBrien, School Extension
Agent, U. S. Bureau of Education,
Department of the Interior)
The Hon. NJ. L. Britain, State Sup
erintendent of Education for Georgia,
declares:
1.-The state, county, or community, as
rule, has as good educational train
ing as it at heart desires. This being
true, the following extract from the
program of the Southern Conference
for Education at New Orleans is worth
considering: Hon. ]. Y. Joyner, of
North Carolina, subject, What is the
Meaning of This? North Dakota spends
1882 per capita for the support Of
common schools; Minnesota, 1888 /;
Oregon, $3.50; Nebraska, $50; Ker-
lucky, $2.S7; Tennessee, $3.50; Geor-
gia, $19S; Alabama. $1.97'"
All good things cost. People who
want a good school must be willing 70
pay the price-the better the school
and the longer the serm the greater the
cost. The plea of Henry A. Wise for
taxation and education, delivered n
1856 on the occasion of his retirement
from Congress as Representative OF
the Accomac district of Virginia, to
accept the position of Minister to Bra
I'll, is as appropriate now as it was
then, when he said:
Tax yourselves.
First To pay your public state debt
Second To educate your children
every child of them-at common prim-
airy free schols at state charge.
That is my legacy of advice to you
before l leave my country's shores to
return, perhaps, no more forever.
1 Distrust all attempts to disturb the
operation of tax bill already passed
! Disbelieve any set of men who come
before you with false promises of free
doom from taxation. Listen only tc
those sincere friends who will hon
estly tell you that you must be taxed
how much you ought to be taxed, and
who will counsel freely and fully with
you beforehand as to the mode and
subjects of taxation. In a word, leayr
to love taxation as the only means Of
I accomplishing such objects as those Of
paying the public debt and of educa1-
ing your children, rich and poor. Sec
to it well that no revenue raised fol
/ legitimate purposes is wasted see that
it is all faithfully applied to the true
ends of government, but be sure tt
raise enough and amply enough fol
every kind of state necessity, useful
ness, and honor. There is no easy
mode of taxation, no royal road tt
paying debts or to education. Indus.
try, honesty, economy, and education
alone can make you free and happy
people.
Educate your children, all of your
children-every one of them!
