Tulsans Are Spending as Free
ly This Year as Before But
Are Buying Wisely.

Christmas trade is on with n rush
IN Tulsa, and holiday business was
never better. The shops and stores in
the downtown district were crowded
all day yesterday and merchants were
happy. They predict the largest De
ccmber business the retailers nave
cNG had Money Is plentiful and the
people are spending II freely Among
the shoppers were hundreds Of young
women from nearby towns who came
TO Tulsa TO get the benefit of the big
ger stocks and larger assortments 70
select from.
The immense expenditures Tulsans
have been called upon TO make In con
tIibuting TO the big war activities ana
inv esting in Liberty bonds has had no
effect on trade. Apparently the peo-
pie have more money and are spcnd4
ing more Of 1t than ever before. And
that this Is true Is borne out by the

METEORITE HEARD.

about half past ten O'Clock Wed

have fallen near the Palmetto sta

lighted the whole eastern heavens
with a bright green radiance. 1t
was accompanied by great NOISE
which many people in Bishop
thought was caused by an eXplo-
sion or an earthquake. 1t was

usual large card on which are six
lines OF letters. each line in small

Toms eyes looked all right,
but when he could not tell big
black letters six inches in height
the Major was amazed
The tall, muscular young man
blushed in spite of his healthy tan
and with some embarrassment eN-
claimed that in his boyhood the
schools were few and for between
in his part OF Nevada, also that he
had mostly played hockey
For a moment the Major was
nonplussed. Then he suggested
that Tom might have done some
wild game hunting and could
prove the keenness OF his eysight
Tom was strong for that kind
Of test. He got his rifle and pick
ed off couple OF ground squirrels

larger thar a mans thumb.

EXEMPTED MAN,
WHERE'S YOUR BIT J?

Magnolia avenue. He is a very
small boy, not for his years, but on

when Victor was standing on
tiptoe alongside the counter where
reposes depository for reception
of donations to the soldiers and
sailors Christmas box fund. VIC
tor had big envelope full OF COINS
OF various sizes. counting to just
an even dollar in the aggregate;
and he was trying to jam the fat
envelope through the slot into the
Christmas box receptacle. The
conversation ensuing was about
as follows:
"Where'd you get all that mon
ey. Victor
Every time | get marked a
hundred in arithmetic at school
my mother gives me dime and
since this Christmas box business
started I've been hitting the trail
pretty steady for that hundred
mark. wasn't so awfully good
in arithmetic before, but I'm doing
pretty well now
But now that you have saved
up dollar, why are you giving
ii all away to soldiers and sailors
that you don't know: Why
don't you buy candy for yourself
instead OF cake and fudge for the
soldiers"
I'D rather MAKE soldier hap
pv. That'll make me happier
than to eat candy. If he can scrap
for me, surely can save my arith-
metic money for him. Anyway.
a big, husky soldier could eat a
dollars worth OF candy and cake
without getting a bel-stomach
ache, and dollars worth would
make me sick

This is going TO be a different
kind OF Christmas season. The
children are going to have their
Santa Claus and Christmas tree
without serious interference, but
it appears that most people have
planned definitely not to give use
less Christmas presents to then
grown up friends. This is as it
should be. The money that
would be spent for such presents
can better be used in buying the
securities for small amounts, that
the government is now offering
and the time necessary to make
Christmas presents can much bet
ter be used in knitting for the boy.

would be ashamed in this time o.

way that might mean less OF hell

meatless Tuesday and wheatless

ment has been nation wide among
the travelling men. One OF the
members OF this organization just
paid Gerington his regular visit
and calls our attention to the fact
that the restaurants and hotels in
his town are not observing the
recommendations OF the national
and state committees and that the
failure to do so is looked upon by
travelling men as very unpatriotic
and will certainly be reported to
the State Food Administration,
who are empowered to enforce
this regulation.
We have it on good authority
that Federal representatives were
in town this week looking after
the food situation and found sew
eral OF our restauranteurs and
hotel keepers who were noHcoop-
Grating in the movement for CON
servation OF food. The excuse
given in one case was that the pa
irons objected to meatless Tues
dav and the wheatless W ednesday
Instead of listening to such com
plants they ought to be reported
TO the authorities and those who
made them be given to understand
there are some privileges money
cannot buy at the present time III
the United States. and one OF these
is the right to 'kick" about the
plans made for winning the war.

try mean business, the better ii
will be for all concerned.

A. l.. Wilcox Sent Remains of Young
 Daughter to Grandparents.

A. l.. Wilcox of Opal arrived in Mena about daylight last Saturday, bringing the remains of Faira, his ii-year- daughter, who died at 3:30 Friday afternoon. The remains were embalmed and Saturday were sent to her grandparents, MT. and Mrs. James Wilcox, at Winns- boro, Tex, for burial. Tine bereft parent was accompanied to town by his neighbor, G, V. Conn and Lem Wimberly.
 The Wilcox family came to Polk county from East Texas about two years ago and homesteaded near Opal. Nearly two months ago one child was taken sick, and from that time until the present there has been no time when from one to five were not confined to bed with fever, in cmding the father, mother and SIX of the seven children The sickness has been pronuounced typhoid-ma- laria, and a physician aseribes It to well water that has become in some manner polluted.
 Mir. Wilcox was the only member of the family able to come to town. His crops. which he had been unable to care for, will be gathered by his neighbors of whom he speaks the highest words of praise for their eff forts in the behalf of himself and hls suffering family.

NOTICE REGARDING PRICE.


 Since the beginning of the Euro pean war three years ago there has been an ever increasing scarcity of foreign drugs and chemicals. Some of these imported drugs we use in the manufacture of Prickly Ash Bitters. As a result of this great scarcity prices have advanced enor- meusly. We have paid these high prices LID Co this time without mak ing any change in the price of our remedy and we had hoped to con- tnue Go do so until the situation im- proved: but advance has followed upon advance so rapidly in the last few months, and prices have now reached such high point that at our present selling price, we are confronted with a loss on every bottle We sell.
 We don't like to ask more from our customers. that is why we have been putting it on. neither do we like to lose money, and we could not consider for an instant reducing the fine quality of our remedy by sub stituting cheaper materials. We feel sure the people who know Prickly Ash Bitters would rather pay a little more for the genuine ar ticle than the old price for some thing not as good In these circum- stances we are constrained to ask the users of prickly Ash Bitters to share this extra cost with us and we take this means of notifying our price of prickly Ash Bitters from friends and customers that the now on will be

 We regret exceedingly the condi- lions which make it necessary to do this and trust to your fairminded- ness that we mav continue to be favored with your patronage.
