WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Warren
S. Young Ever hear of him? He's
the man behind the throne in Wash
ington. About 60, wearing comfort
able old black working coat, he is the
man who decides who shall and shall
not attend affairs of state in the White
House. He knows all the high brows,
the elite, the old families and the
climbers in Washington-and how to
treat them. His is the order upon
which invitations are extended to all
guests of the executive mansion, and
his is the order which excludes hun
dreds. His is the task of deciding
with whom to place the Greek minis
ter at the coming diplomatic dinners.
There is one dinner for the allies and
one for the central powers. Young,
for the first time in his official expert
ence, was sore perplexed.

Most folks who keep abreast of the

this statement, not as a guess but as
fact well known and easily proved
Everyone should read them, and while
there are some advertisers still who
are given to extravagant statements,
your permanent business man who is
a fixture in your town will tell you the
truth. The big mail order house, or
the city store which has an immense
field to draw from can twist the truth,

field and can constantly find new Gus

shoddy goods, overcharge you or fail
to live up to his advertising, because
he must sell to the same people over
and over again.
While statistics gathered recently
on last years business shows a graft
flying increase in all lines of business
all over the country, which is due to
advertising in a measure, it also
shows an increase in cash business
and a decrease in bad bills. This
shows that while advertising has
forced the buying it has also educated
the public as to values, prices and
quality.
Ask your merchant and he will tell
you that the buying public, city and

"WATER WAGON" MAN
TO RENEW CONTRACTS

J. D. Yoder, who has driven the Of
ficial water wagon" of Chickasha for
the last two years, never missing a
trip in his efforts to cool the heat
of summer and to lay the dust of all
seasons, wishes to convey to all his
patrons his sincere thanks for the
promptness with which they have
during that time met their sprinkling
bills and for all other means used by
them in showing their appreciation Of
the service which Mr.. Yoder has en-
deavored conscientiously to make the
best.
All contracts for sprinkling are now
expiring and Mr.. Yoder will be around
Immediately asking renewals for an
other year. He hopes that he will be
able to retain all his old customers
and add many new ones to his list for
the ensuing year. His wife having
been called to her long home five
months ago, Mr. Yoder is alone in the
world and will feel doubly grateful for
all renewals of contracts as tokens of
personal regard for him in his pursuit
of his only means of support. Mr..
Yoder is native of the state of In
diana and has been for many years
consistent member of the Christian
church.

WHY READ THE ADS?

exceptionally we'll to buy as heavily
as he can possibly afford now for fu-
ture use, for the very reason that all
grades of textile goods have been ad-
vancing and will continue to advance
in price steadily as the market eats
up the present supply.
All goods which are in fast perfect
cOlors are dyed with dye-stuffs made
in Germany, and that country has kept
the secret of the making of those
dyes and will continue to do so. The
making of permanent and beautiful
colors is one of the old-world secrets
which the United States has never
been able to obtain.
Also the fine linens, bleached and
unbleached from Ireland and Scotland,
are among the articles not obtainable
owing to the European war. The
yarns, worsteds and silk Isle made
in this country, but colored with for
eign dye-stuffs are advancing, due TO
the fact that the coloring which
formerly cost $3.50 per barrel, now
brings $500, and is scarcely obtainable
at that.
The same applies to Damascus,
Sheffield and Swedish steel and to
even toys.
The garment factories must soon
put out ,overalls and Jumpers at $500
that formerly sold for $1.00, owing to
the lack of blue dyes, and are making
more browns, stripes and grays than
ever before.
So, we say, watch the ads, take adj
vantage of sale prices on staples, for
your merchants will have to pay more
at wholesale i'll the future than they
are selling for at retail now, and as
the styles in womens coats and suits,
mems clothing and furnishings, dress
goods from silk to ginghams, will be
about the same next year as now, you
will do well to buy for future use.

Pocasset, according to Commits
sioner w. A. Bryant, stands head and
shoulders above any other town of
double its size In Oklahoma. Mr..
Bryant states he will not qualify this
statement in any manner, shape nor
form, but will adhere to it's every de-
tail without fear of successful contra
diction. Other towns, Mr.. Bryant says.
may boast of oil. Oil, Pocasset hasn't
any oil, and does not need it, for the
simple reason that the bird of pros
perity roosts on the masthead of that
little city and feeds from the products
grown from the soil and not from
those pumped from the innermost re-
cesses of Pocasset's earth.
Other towns may boast of more
bootleggers and Of more wealth ac-
quired through the sale of illicit and
contraband goods, but, again, Pocas-
set does not need anything of this
kind to make it the town it is, says
Mr.. Bryant.
Still other towns may boast of fall
ing into the limelight throught the
Vaccinations of multitudes of evil
doers and yet again Pocasset neeos
not nor wants such notoriety in order
to be able to stand where it does.
1--WE raise more corn and wheat and
our farmers make more clear money

favorite subject, than is the case in
any other section of even Crazy
county. Our people are all prosperous
and are all law-abiding. One time we
had couple of misguided citizens
blow into Pocasset and start in selling
hurrah water, and before they had
disposed of more than six quarts and
seven fights our local officer had them
grabbed, our local justice had them
sentenced and they were turned over
to the county sheriff in order that he
might afford them an opportunity of
repenting while serving out nice little
jail sentences.

pay, Secretary McAdoo reported to

they are forced to pay large amounts

United States broke relations of world

1889 invited the United States to aid
it in securing scientific measurements
of the earth. Congress annually ap-
propriated money for this until two
years ago. McAdoo suggests that the
again be made.
