SAFE so FAR.

SO far, the menace Of the U-boats,
while admittedly serious. has had little
practical effect. The Atlantic ocean has
not been closed by German fiat The
British Isles have not been isolated.
France has not been cut off from for
eign help.
American exports for the month of
May, according to an official announce
ment from Washington, amounted to
$551 100000, representing a gain Of S2l,-
over the April record. In the same
month our imports, which are so nee
essary in order to maintain our great
industrial activity and supply the raw
materials for our export trade, were val
ued at 1891 100000, the greatest total
i'm our commercial history. For the
twelve months ending with May both
our imports and exports broke all rec
ords. 1t isn't considered likely that
June will show any diminution.
Another triumph in which Americans
at this time take a keener interest, Is
the successful arrival of General Per-
shing's expeditionary force in France.
The dispatch Of that army was the bold
est CndllenBe yet given W pei many
since her declaration OF unrestricted
submarine warfare. II constituted su-
preme test Of U-boat efficiency. All the
resources of the German admiralty were
undoubtedly concentrated on interfer-
ing with the transportation of this In
itial army. To have sunk the ships
carrying our troops and their equip
ment would have been hailed through
out Germany as a great victory, and
might have been expected by the Ger
man people TO deter us from further
efforts to land soldiers in France. The
victory was ours.
Thus far, then. we are safe. But we
need not rejoice too soon. The peril
looms up as surely as ever threatening
the allied cause and our own national
safety. unless we can find means to
destroy U.boats faster than Germany
can build them.

-Ardmore has just closed a successful
school year, but may have been better,
so let us all join in an effort to make
the next school year better than the
one just closed.
l think 1t is the duty of the school
board to visit the schools often. Teach
ers should not be hired because they
belong to certain church or lodge, etc,
but because they are qualified and
competent to do the proper work.

MEMS CLOTHING FOR 1918
TO BE SCANT GARMENTS
Despite Less Goods, Prices Will BE
Nearly 40 Per Cent Higher.

Chicago, July 5.-The fifteenth on.
nual convention of the National Asso.
citation of Clothing Designers opened
here today for three days session.
Early forecasts Of mems styles for the
ensuing year show that suits will again
follow the scant English style with
sharp form-defining lines, which accent
the thinness Of the thin man and the
stoutness Of the stout.
1t is said that the designers also will
recommend that the 1918 suits be with.
out belts, cuffs and pockets. Scarcity
Of wool is said to be responsible for
these decided changes In the opinion
Of American merchants, the cost of
clothing will rise nearly forty per cent
next spring, despite the scantiness Of
the suits.
Trench style" overcoats will not be
encouraged by the designers, II is said
and those who desire military appearing
clothes will have to go to the trenches
to get them.

We took in the business district Of

see stores with pretentious and attract.

which would compare favorably with
those OF any city In the state. Banks
were doing a thriving business and ev.
erything was looking toward the erec-

stone which would rival those OF any
center of Oklahoma. One OF the most
attractive sanitariums to be found had
been set up and a ixty-thousand-dollar
school building was in sight Men, plus
nature, make centers of power. New
Healdton is In the center Of the district
which Is the largest single oil producing
area of Oklahoma. This town lies at
the very heart of 1000 oil wells and
scores of new ones are being drilled in.
Approximately 10000 barrels Of oil are
being taken from the earth daily, which
means that, about this place $4,000
daily is being turned into the peoples
pockets. Seeing all this, men have
come forward to do their part and have
brought to New Healdton a railroad
connection with the city Of Ardmore
and the world. This road comes TO New
Healdton from Ardmore, via Ringing
Junction, and is the first line to link
the very heart Of the fields of oil with
the immediate world outside.
1t was a great day, and Aladdin with
