THE LINKED ARMS.
BY Theodosia Garrison
OF The Vigilantes.

OF The Vigilantes.
Into the little French town. town
that they must not name
In the dark OF moonless night, the
American regiment came,
With never the sound of n rolling drum
With never a torch TO flame.
But the townsfolk stirred. awoke' they
thronged to the little square
There was neither sound of a cheer, nor
murmur of whispered prayer
But never n man of the marching men
Could doubt of his welcome there
For the blue-bloused arms were thrust
through the arms of khaki brown,
Shoulder to shoulder there they marched
through the little town;
As men with their mates may walk.
As comrades among their own.
There was never a spoken word to vel
come. rejoice or bless,
But clearer than word or sound was the
linked arms close caress.
For France said brothers of mine,
And America answered Yes"

ARDMORE'S CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE.

The new officers and directors OF the
Ardmore Chamber of Commerce VIII
meet tomorrow to perfect an organiza'
ton and to set the wheels in motion
for a year OF constructive effort
The first thing that will confront
them will be the need OF n sufiicient
sudget to take care Of all their con-
teInplated activities, and this budget
should be raised on a basis OF at least
three years In order TO secure definite
results.
But before budget can be raised II
win be necessary to map out a definite
plan of action to present to the bust
ness public. which will want to Know
what tho Chamber Of Commerce pro
poses to do when it is asked 10 sub
scribe money to the cause.
In addition to the customary work oil
the body II Is understood that there is
being considered the matter of employ
ing a traffic expert to handle railroad
rates and secure concessions for Ard
more which will at least put the city
on an equality with other points IN
this territory.
The retailers must have department
conducted by a man who will give prac-
tically all his time 10 looking after their
interests, very important part OF the
work of the parent organization

partments mentioned above. The Cham

ties such as conventions. trade eXcur-
sions, the support of a band or other

cial fund should be raised for each one
uf these activities
Before any of this program can be
c.lrried out il will be necessary. how
ever. for the Chamber of Commerce TO
secure commodious quarters where each
one of it's activities may be carried on
without interfering with the other.
These quarters should be in the very
hest building in the city and fitted up
in a manner TO make an impression on
the visitor and inspire pride on the part
of the membership at large.
Ardmore needs civic survey 1t
should be looking into the future. All
improvements of a public or private
character should be carried on with a
view to meeting the requirements of a
.city Of at least $4,000 people
If it is not practicable TO arrange for
a professional survey of the city at this
time this matter should be placed in the
hands of body which might be called
the Committee of Fifty on the Future
Development Of Ardmore." Men and
women of vision and high ideals should
constitute this committee and meth
,dical study of the city, its institutions
and its future needs should be entered
upon without delay.

CONTEMPT FOR SENATORIAL.
COURTESY.

Pittsburgh Post Here is a pretty
state of affairs. \ dispatch from
Washington says that Senator La Fol-
lette, the Wisconsin copperhead, has
raised the question as to the form OF
indictment he will have to answer be-
fore the special committee OF the United
States senate which is investigating his
seditious utterances and may decline to
appear before the body If the charge is
not satisfactory. Decline to appear?
This would be amazing enough on the
most ordinary lines after the way con-
gressional committees compel others
they want TO appear before them. How
startling. then. when viewed as a threat
of senatorial courtesy! Wha has not
heard from childhood that il is a poor
rule that does not work both ways.
From our entrance into the war La Fol
lette has used senatorial courtesy 10
the point Of abuse TO ohstruct the gov
ernment. Now. on It's first courteous
call TO him to answer to il, he indicates
contempt for II.
But the public should be the gamer.
If the committee could find nothing else
against him TO convince IL that he should
be expelled. this rank lese majestic
should bring down on him the most con
dlgn punishment. Moreover. have not
his acts for long cast reflection upon
senatorial courtesy? Has not he done
about everything he can to make 1t con
.emptible through seeking shelter in IL
while sniping at the government? But
the way the committee has set TO work
indicates that it grasps the seriousness

REAL AMERICANS. A

The stories of our first war encoun'
ters should make all Americans thrill
with pride at the heroic behavior of
their fighting men. The sailors and
soldiers who went down with the Antil-
les and the crew of the torpedoed de
stroyer Cassin conducted themselves ex.
actly according to the best American
traditions.
IL takes high courage to act coolly
aboard a ship that is blown in two by
a torpedo and sinks in five minutes. The
official accounts Of the destruction of
the Antilles show that there was no

How to Be Rid Of
disgusting Dandruff

rne only way to be permanently
iii of disgusting. untidy dandruff is
to correct its cause. Shampooing
merely cleanses the scalp for a few
days, then the scales form again as
thick as ever.
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid of dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply a little of the genuine
Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp. and rub it in with the finger
tips for q few minutes until absorb
ed by the scalp. You will surely be
amazed at the result of even one ap-
plication, for your hair and scalp will
look and feel 100 per cent. better.
Only a few days massage with
Partisan Sage are needed to destroy
the germs that cause the dandruff to
form. The scalp becomes healthy,
the hair will grow better and show
more life and vitality, and you need
never be troubled by dandruff again.
Faded, dull or lifeless hair is quickly
restored to beauty by this simple
process, which is absolutely harm
less, and will not stain the hair or
make it greasy.
Partisan Sage can be obtained from
II. c. Kennedy and druggists every
where. II is not expensive.
