The transportation committee of
the Chamber of Commerce met last
night with the stockholders of the
toll road and outlined plan to com
plete the canvass. for selling stock
for the toll road. There has been
but little volunteers to take the stock
and the committee while not dis.
couraged decided that it would be
best to either close the matter up
and say II was assured or abandon
the project
BY actual count 100000 worth of
stock has been subscribed. The re-
naming $93,OOO0O must be assured
at once If the road is built.
1--WE must sell that stock" said
Harold Wallace. "and sell it quick.
The people OF Ardmore must be
made to realize that It is an invest
ment in every sense of the word
that is being offered and that II will
pay a good dividend. There is no
chance to lose and we cannot put
it too strong"
Between $40 and $3.50 sixteen au-
tos on the way to the fields passed
over the iron bridge west OF the city.
From noon till half after II. thirteen
passed the same point From these
two tests II will be seen that the
traffic Is tremendous. When il is
taken into consideration that a large
Of pleasure vehicles will use
the toll road and that service cars
will be able to make twice or three
times the number Of trips it will be
seen at a glance what revenue
there will be from the road.
Apart from the outlook from
standpoint Of dividends, the serious
ness OF the situation so far as Ard
more Is concerned was fully dis
cussed
The indications are that before
very long the Santa Fe railroad would
be running direct from Oklahoma
City, through the oil fields to Wichi-
Ia Falls. Texas. Unless something
Is done by Ardmore TO offset this
artery Of trade and direct traffic to
this city, the future growth of Ard
merce will be limited No city ever
grew without transportation facilities.
Committees headed by the follow
ing mon were appointed to put the
natter up to the people of the city
and TO report back at once and upon
their success depends the further

kLINE's ANSWER VERY WEAK

Last week FL. f. Kline comes out
in very weak evasive article and
lodges the whole issue. He says the
matter is based on personal feeling
on the part of the editor of this pa
per which is not the truth. What
ever feeling in personal way exists
this matter Is based as we were care
Nful TO state before entirely and who'll
ly on one issue and that is a political
one Republicanism. Kline would
not take his stand and without it we
refused to head our ticket with his
name He is just as good a Republi-
can now as he was before he wrote
last weeks article which is not at all.
He is against Hughes, Capper and
Benton on good authority this is
said of him. Our readers will notice
that in his article he explains moth
ing and especially they will notice
that he does not explain why he sold
his paper to Democrat on the eve of
election or why he took no part in
the Republican rally when Q. L. Ben
ton was here few weeks ago The
people see through it plainly no mat
ter what he says at heart he is not a
Republican and is not giving the par
ty his loyal support and never has.

THAT WORD LOYALTY

Let US consider that word loyalty
loyalty to the old home town. To
be loyal is to be faithful to a friend,
a cause or a principle. To be loyal is
to be true. But, in business-in
spending money-loyalty does not
mean that you should buy something
you do not want, or something you
do not need. 1t does not mean that
you should accept an article of infer
ior quality, or, that you should pay
two prices. 1t does not mean that
you should trade with merchant
simply because he happens to be in
business in your town. 1t does not
mean that you should sell your labor
or that which you produce for less
than the market price. Loyalty
means the golden rule-to do unto
others as you would have others do
unto you 1t means to give your
home merchant the first chance at
your business-to give him chance
to fill your orders on the same terms
the city concern offers. 1t means go
ing to your neighbor and saying "Mr,
Merchant, 1 am a resident of this
community. / want to do all / car
do to help the town, and if you car
do as well by me as the city concern
quality and price considered, 1 an
going to give you my patronage
When you have done this, you have
done your part. That's business 10y
alty-loyalty in the strict meaning O
| the word But-usually-the loya
citizen does not stop merely at Civ
ing the home merchant a chance a.
his business. He gives the word 10y
atty broader meaning. He takes ;
general interest in his neighbors lii
their social life He belongs to ;
lodge or two-he is in the church
and he has a finger in every goot
thing that is proposed to make hi
home town q better town. He
broad, generous. open hearted. And
he possesses these splendid qualitie
because he is loyal

c. w. MILLER FOR STATE SENATOR

G. W. Miller, candidate for senator
from the seth senatorial district, has
been resident of Ellis county for
thirty years. Like many of the early
settlers of this country Mr.. Miller
started with practically nothing but
by honest, industrious and temperate
habits he has become one of the pros
porous citizens of that county. Dur
ing his long residence there he has
won the confidence and esteem Of all
and his life has been remarkably
clean and worthy one. He is a man
who has fund of information hav-
ing been a great reader and Is we'll
qualified to take the part in the af-
fairs of state that this important po-
sition calls for. Let the voters stop
and think and they will remember
that it has been over twenty years
since this part of the district has had
a senator and we believe they will all
agree that it is time this locality is
being recognized, therefore let US ral-
ly to the support of Mr.. Miller and
give him a vote that will carry him
safely into the position for which he
is making the race and for which he
is capable of filling so well-that OF
senator from the seth district.

THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS

Why should Kansas congressman
vote for tariff bill that places pro-
tective duty on the hair of the An
CORA goat, a Texas product, while the
wool of the Kansas sheep is placed
on the free list?
And why should the same congress
men stand up for the peanut of North
Carlina as against the potato of Kan
sas? Why did they vote to protect
the peanut with a tariff duty and put
potatoes on the free list? Was that
done to cheaper the price of potatoes
to the customer2 Is there a house
wife in Kansas who will testify that
they are paying less for potatoes than
they did before the Democratic Un-
derwood tariff law was passed? "The
goats in this case are the Kansas
farmers" remarked a well known
farmer of Reno county, and the s'pea-
nuts are the six Democratic con-
gresham who helped to put this so
called tariff law over. Here is the
list: Taggart. Doolittle, Helvering,
Connolly, Shouse and Ayers. When
they stand up before an audience to
plead for re- election, ask tkem to ex-
plain their votes in congress that
put duty on goats hair and pea
nuts, and at the dictation of the
Southern Democracy removed the
duty from the wool of the sheep and
from potatoes that grow on Kansas
farms. And follow this up on Nov
ember Z with a ballot for Otis L.

FOURTH OF JULY
Meeting MONDAY

A call has been issued by the promo
tors of the Fourth of July Celebration
for a meeting to be held in the west
side city hall on Monday evening.
A canvass of the business men has
been made and the majority of them
want celebration this year. Few can
see why the money should be spent in
Marshfield this year rather than in
this city. It will be Marshfelds turn
next year under the tacit understand
ing between the two cities.
The decorations for the Eagles con-
vention will still be up and with the
help of these, Grand Rapids can give
celebration that will go down in his
tory as being the best ever held here.
The last two celebrations held here
were big successes and the third will
be still bigger one.
Some of the business men who op-
posed the celebration are broad e.
nough to say that if the others want
it, they will join in and help for the
good of the city. That's the right
spirit. Shows live, clean red blood in
the business men.
Tentative plans are now being made
for the usual run of street races, boat
races, swimming races, ball game,
band concerts, etc.
The Eagles convention will leave
lot of money in. Grand Rapids and
the Fourth of July celebration will add
to it.
