CHICAGO WHEAT PIT
SUSPENDS BUSINESS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. %
While Hoover is moving in his plans
for government control Of the 1917
wheat crop he emphatically denied
yesterday afternoon that he is in any
way interfering with or seeking to
interfere with the price fixing COM
mission. This denial came in answer
to the rumors that he was seeking
to influence the commission to set an
arbitrary price OF $1.65 a bushel to
be paid for the 1917 crop.
Food Administrator Hoover yester.
day took up the matter of the control
of foodstuffs with the editors Of Chi
cagO agricultural papers. He explained
to them the necessity of such action
and asked them for their cooperation,
both as individuals and through the
columns Of their publications.
At the request of Hoover the wheat
pit of the Chicago board of trade
closed yesterday. Through this
course the trading in futures in wheat
will cease there and as it is the wheat
center of the world and makes the
prices, will be checked on all other
exchanges Of the country.

We are allowed to keep our razors,

brushes. hair brushes and combs We
are not allowed to keep a suit case or

URGES IMPROVEMENT
OF IMPORTANT HIGHWAY

Il am glad to see the agitation and
plans made for better roads in Garter
County" Robert +. Scivally said to
day.
While discussing this important
question and planning to improve the
/ county highways. I desire to especially
call attention to one of the most trav'
eled roads in this section.
The county road connecting Ard
Fox and Tatum. a distance of about
forty miles. is one of the most neglected
parts of road system in Carter County
and especially the first ten miles out
of this city.
ITO make this all the more noticeable
this road is one of the most important
in the county. because more cotton and
produce comes to Ardmore over this
road than any similar distance. This
road has been neglected for four years,
and has become almost impossible in
places. during bad weather. There is
no longer any dragging done on the
road.
Those people at Pooleville and near
there. because of the condition of this
road. often go TO Davis, WHICH is some
nearer than Ardmore. although they
prefer to come here.
County Commissioner Young prom
ised when he was making his cam
paign, that this roaG should he one e
the first to be improved, ] believed he
would see it through and therefore sup.
ported him. ! think il is time he is
carrying out this pledge made the peo@
pie along that important highway.

New York. Oct 3.--While the winning
of a pennant and the resultant partici-
patton in the world series is based up
on the number of games won during
the entire season Of league play, II is.
as a rule, the final weeks of the sched-
ule in which the championships are
clinched. At this period of the play the
leading teams of each league are put
ting forth their greatest efforts in an
attempt to capture first place and each
days struggle is fought out to the
finish For this reason il has frequent
ly been said that the true speed OF a
team in a world series can be gauged
from the power of its play near the
point where the pennant was mathe-
matically won.
Based upon this assumption an anal
ysis Of the work of the Chicago Ameri.
cans and the New York Nationals in
the closing weeks of the present sea
son should afford a somewhat general
outline of the form which may be eX-
pected of these two clubs when they
meet in the worlds series of 1917 On
the first day of September the Chicago
White SoX were leading i'm the Ameri-
can league by IL games over the Bos-
ton Red Sox while the New York Ma
tionals led the Phillies in the senior
league by 9 games.
In neither case was the lead so
great that the runnerup club did not
have a chance to overtake and pass
the pace settlers. Under the circum-
stances the New York and Chicago
teams were forced to play their best
game and despite an occasional defeat
the records show that they travelled
at high speed up to the very moment
that the flag was won beyond perad-
venture.
During the first twenty days of Sep
tember the New York Nationals played
twenty-three games Of which they won
sixteen and lost seven. showing a win
ming average of .696 for that period In
the same number of days the Chicago
White Sox played fifteen games, of
which they won all but three for an
