TAX ON TOOTH PASTE
BAR TO CLEANLINESS.
DRUGGISTS CONTEND
Dealers Here Enter Protest
Against War Levy on Com
modities That Heal and
Help Humanity
SUGGEST OTHER REVENUE
Why Tax Tooth Paste?
Why Not Tax Shells?

Druggists say: "Instead of tax
ing tooth paste, which contributes
TO human cleanliness, comfort and
bealf", let the war tax be paid by
those who are making inordinate
profits from the manufacture of
war munitions.
"The tax on tooth paste is un-
fair and unjust.
"There are many ways of raising
revenue without taxing human
cleanliness.
"In view of the extraordinary
protection and backing given by the
Government to those engaged in
making money out of the war, it is
only fair that the benefciaries of
that protection should contribute a
REASONABLE amount of their profits
in the form of tax on war ex-
ports"

says, the Treasury is putting penalty
on human cleanliness. and is not only
charging a tax for the privilege of Keen
ing morally clean, but also for the privi-
lege OF protection from the inroads of in
sidtous diseases"
The druggists contend that there are
plenty OF other ways of raising revenue
Without taSiag cleanliness. and suggest
that tax ought to be paid by those who

Count the value of the increase in

and then estimate what the gain will
be when we have added 10000, 10000
and even $4,000 and you will have an
idea of the value of Ardmore realty.
The man who owns Ardmore prop
erty is indeed fortunate. He will
grow rich before he scarcely realizes
what is happening.
Ardmore stands with hand Of cor
dial welcome outstretched to every
man everywhere who wants to come
to better his financial condition, who
wants to come to feast upon the men,
tai awakening that comes from living
where the fingers of commerce are
weaving fortunes daily, who wants to

to feel the thrill of a busy, living,

This school will make Ardmore the

The county has within its borders
oil lands worth $5OO,OOO,OOO and
as this wealth is being taken from
the earth it is finding its way into
Ardmore to build a greater city.
A second oil pool which promises
to eclipse Healdton is being devel-
oped at this time.
Carter county has 400 oil wells
that are flowing liquid gold day and
night. The wealth from these wells
is finding its way into the channels
of trade.
The banks have plenty of capital
and plenty of wealth to finance every

The magic finger of fabulous wealth

Riches for the Red Man.

The Usage Indians are the richest
people in the world, and soon they
are gazing to be even richer. Their
wealth is registered at $4,000 per
capita at the Indian office. Secre.
tary Lane of the interior department
recently gave his approval to new
leases running for five years, where
by the Usage Indians rent their val
liable oil lands in Oklahoma to some
of the big oil companies. This will
increase the average annual income
of the 1000 Usage Indians from $500
to 81 900 per annum. The leases will
cover about 6SO,OOO acres. 1t is es-
timated that the annual income OF
the Usage tribe under the new leases
will aggregate at least s2,5OO,000, in
addition to the 1928, 900 received in
cash at recent sales, as against about
$500, 600 heretofore received annual
ly under the old leases, which expired
last March.-Leslie's.

An oil refinery is to be built within
the next few weeks at Wilson.
Carter county farms are yielding

The gas lines of the city are now

When European War Is Over.

When the great war across the sea
is ended, what will be the effect up
on the oil market? This is a ques-
tion frequently asked. Various opin-
ions are given replying to it. Some
observers believe that with a sudden
close Of hostilities, there would be
slump in the foreign demand for pc
troleum and products. Others are
disposed TO take the opposite view.
These reasoners know that. owing to
war. many foreign consumers Of oil
products, motor spirit, chiefly, will
greatly increase the amount Of their
oil purchases. In European countries,
at present, there are restrictions, and
