advised him to do this. They smiled

His friends smiled and humored him.

MANY BRITISH
CONTRIBUTE To
THE WAR fund
GIFTS ARE LARGE AND CHILDREN
EMPTY THEIR SAVINGS BANKS
TO HELP THEIR COUNTRY WIN
THE WAR.

London, Sept. 12.-(Correspondenc'
to the Associated Press)-Official'
OF the treasury have been surprised
by the steady inflow of gifts from al
parts of the empire and from formel
Britishers in neutral countries in the
form of cash towards meeting the ex
penses of the war. The donors range
from men and women to small boys
and girls, the former sending sums
mounting up as high as a thousand
pounds and the latter remitting the
contents of their savings banks. A
total of many thousands of pounds
has been sent Sums ranging from
shilling to a thousand pounds are
acknowledged with the same prompt
ness and politeness by the treasury.
, Many gifts are accompanied with
notes explaining that they are de
signed as substitutes for personal ser
vice at the front, and one man in
Canada explains that sum Of 200
pounds is intended as payment for
schooling obtained in England half
century ago.
A firm in Sandakan, British North
Borneo, sent 500 pounds. explaining
that as that territory contributes
nothing toward the finances of the
empire while enjoying all benefits Of
British protection, they wished to be
allowed to discharge a portion of
their obligation in the war. A Brit
sher writes from ut. Louis in the
same tone with a contribution of
100 pounds.
The municipality of Matsqui, Brit
ish Columbia, sends fifty two pounds
The natives employed at Tanning
Island. who live in the Gilbert Islands
have sent two gifts.
A Baptist minister in Ontario sends
! five dollars From Summit, New Jer-
sey, an American citizen sends a
substantial check made payable to
the British Empire. A husband and
wife send from China a check in four
figures. From Saskatchewan an old
man accompanies a check for twenty
pounds with the explanation that it is
to help beat the kaiser.
A little girl who writes that she
is seven and has two uncles fighting,
sends from an island a shilling from
her savings bank. There are many
gifts from officers on active service,
some sending a years pay. Among
gifts from retired officers. one writes
from a far country to say that he de
sires to aid the war fund because,
after having been made deaf from
gunfre as gunner officer, he had
been refused active service now on
account of his lack of hearing. A

THE GERMAN
ECON OM|C
ASSOCIATION
WILL MAKE BIG EFFORT TO RE-
GAIN SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE
LOST DURING THE WAR.

Berlin, Sept. 1l.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. THAT Ger
man business men mean to make a
determined effort to recover lost
ground in Latin-American markets
after the war is over, is the conclu,
sion that may be drawn from rapid
growth of the German Economist AS
sociation for South and Central
America. This organization, which
was only formed on September /,
1915. has already about 1,200 mem
bers consisting for the most part of
German business firms interested in
the South and Central American
trade.
In an interview with a correspond
ent of The Associated Press the man
ager of the Berlin Office of the as
sociation said that it is maintaining
but a quiescent existence now in view
of the fact that no business corre-
spondence of Germans with the coun-
tries in question is possible. The
society however, has representatives,
usually German business men, in all
centers of trade in those countries;
and nearly all of them have stayed
where they were and managed, ac-
cording to last accounts, to keep their
businesses going in some way. The
services of these men will be drawn
upon again Immediately after the
war closes 10 give advice as to the
best ways and means for restoring
German trade.
That this fight to regain lost
ground will not be an easy one is evil
dent to all German business men.
There are different views among
u.s." said the manager of the asso-
citation, "as to our prospects for re-
covering this lost trade. Our excel
lent organization with agents every
where who are thoroughly well
equipped for giving us quick and ac-
curate business reports, will be
strongly in our favor. This, together
with the fact that certain classes of
German goods held a preferred posi-
tion in the South and Central Ameri-
can markets before the war, make
not fe- of our people inclined to
believe that we shall recover ground
rapidly.
"On the other hand, we recognize
the fact that new difficulties have
arisen during the war The Ameri-
cans have gone in and have been do
ing excellent and effective work in
winning South American trade, have
planted branch banks, and have great
ly developed transportation facilities.
This is one difficulty which we by no
means underrate. Another is found
in the fact that railways are in some |
places owned or controlled by English /.
or French capital, and wherever this /,
is the case the roads will probably |
make determinations against Ger
man goods that would prevent their .
shipment into interior markets in .
with British and French |
goods British capital in other forms |
also enjoys powerful advantages in /
South America, and we are calcu- /
lating that those advantages will be /
used against us to a much greater .
degree than before the war Alto |
gether therefore we see that the fight I
for the South American markets will .
be a difficult one for us: 1t will call |
for all our ability in organization, and .
in the manufacture and marketing 1
of goods-all the courage that We
can bring to our helm"

There has been considerable specu

ounty has received from the automo'

democratic party has been endeavor-
ng to make political capital out OF
what they were cndeavoring to make
people believe was gross misappro-

letter received by Col. Suggs this

is necessary and needs no further com

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Oklahoma City,
September l4th, 1916.
"Mr Sidney Suggs,
The Daily Ardmoreite,
Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir: As a matter of news,
which no doubt great many OF your
readers will be interested in, will say
that according to a report which this
office received today from the High
way Department, II shows the amount
of automobile taxes collected by the
Highway Commissioner in your cpun-
ty from January list, to June 3Oth,
1916, to be $214l.60, less ten per cent,
which by law is retained by the state
to pay for Nhe maintenance of the
State Highway Department, which
leaves the sum of $l92735, which has
been promptly. in due course, remit
ted to your county treasurer. This
money is remitted to the county treas
urer monthly. which is few days
after the close of each month, as it
takes a few days to check this matter
up in this department, occasioned by
the great amount of business trans
acted by that department.
We are sending you this news item
LOT lnc reason lldt thcIt are great
number of people over the state who
do not realize the amount of money
that they receive from this automobile
tax for the benefit of their roads,
and for the additional reason that
Misrepresentation are being made as
to this matter by the opponents of
the democratic party. The amount
collected for July has also been re-
mitted by the Highway Commissioner,

Yours very truly,
