OKLAHOMA BOOK CONTRACTS
ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION
Federal Trade Commission Is Conduct
ing Inquiry Into Charges.

Oklahoma City. June 26.-Contracts
between publishers Of textbooks that
are In use in the Oklahoma schools and
the state repositories are being exam.
ined by the federal trade commission
on account of clause in such contracts
that prohibits the handling OF second.
hand textbooks either by the depositor.
les or by local dealers with which the
repositories have contracts. The az.
tention OF Governor Williams was called
TO the contracts by the federal trade
commission. He, in turn, asked At.
torney General Freezing to investigate
the contract and report. The attorney
general has the question under con.
sideration at this time.
Depositories OF school textbooks are
selected by the publishers. the state
having no part in the contract. The
repositories are selected in pursuance
Of clause in the publishers contracts
with the state that makes II necessary
for the publishers TO place the books
on sale in all sections OF the state.
The publishers appoint their state de-
positories and require them to arrange
for dealers in all towns. The contract
with the state repositories forbids these
dealers handling secondhand textbooks. :.
II is this stipulation that is believed
by the federal trade commission to be
in restraint OF trade.
The inquiry came about through
complaint made to the federal trade
commission by several jobbers In sec.
ond-hand school books. These jobbers
point out that the contract deprives
patrons OF the schools OF Oklahoma Of
the privilege OF buying used textbooks
by preventing the recognized dealers in
textbooks from handling them.
Textbook repositories in this sta,c
as designated by publishers OF books
adopted here are Jasper Sipes & CO.
and the Oklahoma Book Company. both
OF this city. They have different lines
OF adopted books. the publishers ap
pointing exclusive agencies in each lin ?.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORK.
ING FOR UPBUMDING OF
SOUTH OKLAHOMA.
COUNTRY INTERESTED
Cooperative Effort Should Be Put Forth
to Capitalize the Good Opinion Preya-
lent in Other Centers As to This
District.

The Ardmore Chamber Of Commerce
is the force which is charged with keep
ing the eyes Of this country turned
toward the counties OF southern Okla.
homa, and the fact that the whole dis.
trict has sustained a wonderful growth
the past few years is ample evidence
that the Chamber of Commerce has
filed its function successfully.
The active officers Of the organization
are s. A. Apple, president, and w. 8.
Gilbert, secretary. aided by a board of
public spirited citizens. Never in the
history OF Ardmore has the work been
carried on with more effectiveness and
zeal, the location OF two rubber tire
plants, reflneries and other institutions.
besides hundreds Of families on the farm
lands Of this country having been ac-
complished.
The Chamber Of Commerce is not a
local organization I'm its scope. 1t can.
not successfully -confine itself to the
city Of Ardmore. Its policy Is to all
in any way possible in the upbuildlng
OF all the adjacent territory, for unless
the whole section grows the city of Ard
more itself cannot make any pronounced
progress.
One OF the Innovations on the part
OF the Ardmore organization Is the sup
porting OF a professional band of mt
sicians which is available for the use
OF other cities on festive occasions and
the quality Of which Is readily appre-
ciated by everyone who has the privi-
lege of listening to their music.
The Chamber Of Commerce has the
active support and confidence OF the
people OF its home city and II hopes
by its acts to have the hearty good will
OF the business public OF all southern
Oklahoma.
The publisher OF The Ardmoreite has
been privileged the past few weeks to
visit many Of the principal cities of
the country and to meet the needs az
the leading industries and business In
stitutions and everywhere he found the
greatest interest in southern Oklahoma.
many OF the men having n definite
knowledge OF the resources OF the coun.
try. This interest should be fostered
and the more the towns Of this district
can cooperate in promoting the com
mercial and agricultural progress Of
the whole district the faster viii the
returns come in.
I'VE know that Oklahoma has come
back" Is the characteristic greeting
"and we admire the men who have
stayed by the state during its first few
trying years. We know now that their
confidence has not been misplaced and
we hope TO be in a position to als1
participate in your prosperity"

WINNERS SOMETIMES PAY
FOR THE WARS.

Philadelphia North American: Many
of us recollect when Prussia brought
France to her knees: the conditions of
peace she imposed seemed to the world
cruel and crushing. In addition to ced.
ing Alsace and Lorraine to her conquer.
or France was to pay war indemnity
Of 500o000000 francs, and continue, TO
be occupied by German troops until the
last franc was handed over.
The sum demanded was as iniquitous
and 1t was colossal. France could
scarcely pay II within a score Of years.
and for that term would be condemned
TO groan under the heel OF her op-
pressor. 80 the world thought: but, to
the worlds amazement, France had paid
the last franc and the German soldier
had left her soil within three years.
When Russia vanquished Turkey
nearly forty years ago, IL was estimated
that her victory cost her s725 900 000--
at the rate Of s2.l60,0OO a day. All she
asked of Turkey, however, was an in.
demnity of s16O.OOO,OOO.
When Prussia beat Austria In 1866
all that was demanded in cash from the
latter was s1O,OO0.OO0. The Chinese in
demnity paid to Japan was sl75.OOO. 900
When. In 1897. the Turks had the
Greeks at their mercy, paltry $40, 900.
600 was all that Greece handed to her
conqueror; and the opium war OF 1910
Al ended in China paying the trifline
sum OF s22.50O, 900 to Great Britain for
the expenses of making war on her, in
addition to s6,25O,OOO for opium de
stroyed.
Such are the war indemnities of the
last century. What about those OF the
future? What sum. when the last gun
has been fired IN the present war, would
compensate the allies for the mere
money loss II has caused? Assuming
that the war lasts only three years, the
allies win. II is estimated, be at least
$50 100000 poorer through the ex
penses and losses OF the war.
For generosity toward conquered
foe, the record Of the United States
can't be beat. II was in 1898 that We
had little difference with Spain
Spain was. Of course. badly beaten, AM
in the end was obliged TO cede Cuba.
Porto Rico, the Ladrone islands and
the Philippines. an area OF territory
about three times the size OF England
But so that there should be no sore
ness, America actually paid over $50,
100000 TO the Madrid government. and
more than that, returned all the Span
ish soldiers, together with their arms
paying the whole bill Of transportation
and other expenses.
This is not the first time that Wash
ington has been equally generous. AZ
ter the Mexican war OF sixty years ago
when she had taken California. she
paid over to the vanquished nation a
very large indemnity.

OF II, reckoning one life OF the enemy

beads as a pledge with the regimental
clerk.

The Kid Has Gone To The Colors

The Kid has gone to the Coors
And We don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today
We thought him a child, a baby
With never care at ALL
But his country called him man-size
And the Kid has heard the call
He paused to watch the recruiting
Where, fired by the fife and drum
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered: "Comel"
The Kid not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot-joy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud of the boy
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
IL seems but little while
Since he drilled schoolboy army
In a truly martial style.
But now he's man, soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal
Unscourged by the curse of fear
His dad, when he told him, shuddered.
His MOTHERHOOD bless her-cried;
Yet, blest with mothernature
She wept with mother-pride.
But he whose old shoulders Strengthened
Was Granddad-for memory ran
To years when he too, youngster
Was changed by the Flag to mani
