CENTRAL ROUTE HOLDS
MEETING AT MANGUM

A meeting has been called by the ex-
ecutive committee of the Central
Route of the Ozark Trails association
to take place at Mangum tomorrow af-
ternoon at 4:3O o'clock. President r..
c. Burton of the Grady County High
Ways association has been urged to
have a representative there or in lieu
Of that to send proxies for verden and
Chickasha.
A letter addressed to Mr.. Burton
from w. f. Hearne, president Of the
Central Route association, states that
the meeting is called for the election
of officers and for other business. The
latter term Mr. Burton interprets as a
discussion Of the advisabillty Of J5ak-
ing a slight change in the route, plan
which Mr. Burton believes to be un-
wise at this iuncture.
Mr.. Hearne concludes his letter by
saying;
we respectfully urge thaJ you 40
not fail to be present at this meeting
for 1t is necessary that we get togeth-
er and talk over matters that are of
vital importance to our route that will
come before us at the Amarillo con-
vention II is also necessary that
whatever we undertake to do at the
Amarillo convention that we do as
unit and in perfect harmony The
winning Of the trail depends upon this
We have always worked as unit and
l am sure that we will at the coming
convention. The meeting just called
should help us work out details that
will insure this"

Commercial and Economic
Effect of Big Liberty Loan

sible to handle the Liberty Loan by
degrees with the least percentage of
business displacement.
Another provision in the making of
the Liberty Loan which helped to re-
duce its i'll effects to the minimum
was that giving the secretary Of the
treasury authority to deposit the mon
ey subscribed for bonds in banks
throughout the county. It is his poll
cy to distribute these deposits where
the money originates. Thus again is
provided an excellent safeguard against
business displacement
The floating of this great loan will
afford opportunity for getting a new
impetus on the savings habit of Amer
leans. Heretofore Americans have not
been satisfied with the low returns
provided for government securities.
They have not been buyers of govern
ment bonds. 1t is said that less than
one-fifth Of / per cent Of the people of
the United States are bond owners,
and OF course only small portion of
these are holders of government bonds.
In Great Britain and France nearly IL
per cent Of the people have actually
participated in the raising of war rev
enue by the purchase of bonds. On
the basis of patriotic duty great many
Americans will now become bond hold
ers and the practice of buying this
class of securities will be stimulated
In order to make this great loan
complete success; in order to minim-
ize the evil effects; in order to distrib-
ute the shock so that business will not
feel ID, it will be absolutely necessary
for the people at large to participate
generously in the Liberty Loan. To re-
quire the banks and trust companies
Of this country whose total loans for
commercial IMPOSES now are eighteen
billions of dollars, to assume the bulk
Of a government credit OF an addition
ally seven billions would be subjecting
the business Of the nation to too great
a strain.

Clara Kimbail Young in
WITHOUT A SOUL"

A story in which Clara Kimball
Young is more than beautifully lovable
and deals with most interesting ques-
tion, namely: The question of life al.
ter death. In this photoplay, DR.. Barn
helun contended that the soul did not
escape fro mthe body after death. His
life work was devoted to experiments
which might prove his theory. He H.
nally succeeded in bringing the dead
to life, but it was by no means a pleas
ant accomplishment 1t was the drama
of his life and few there are who would
care to undergo the same experiences
that were his. If you have never given
serious consideration to the question Of
life after death, Without Soul" will
set you thinking. 1t will also leave you
tremendously entertained.
