TEN YEARS OLD TODAY

Today marks the end OF the first
decade of the state OF Oklahoma. IL
has bee ma wonderful ten years. No
state has ever seen more rapid progress
nor more radical development has taken
place during this time. Oklahoma Is
firmly established as to prestige ana
future and Is now recognized as the
bright particular star In the southwest,
the most virile section OF this country
today.
But this natal day Is of particular
significance in Ardmore. This city OF
all cities at that time capitalized State
hood Day by sending nicely printed
sentiment over the country to people
who had shown an interest in the bud
ding state. Miss Oklahoma makes her
bow today" il began. and the idea was
so unique that it proved lure which
brought many families here to investl-
gate who later became residents or
Ardmore.
1t was bright, clear, November day'
lust like today. when at O'Clock III
the morning the whistles began to blow
and it was made known that contrary
10 the opinion of many and although
President Roosevelt had said that his
.soninion OF the Oklahoma constitution
was not fit to print" he had signed the
statehood bill. There was general re-
ioicing, and well there should be. as
the people were freed of a territorial
government and federal supervision or
their affairs. which was irksome in the
extreme and worked to the detrimen'
of the state.
The next ten years will see even
more history made than in the past and
Ardmore. the substantial city that she
is today, will have a prominent part IN
shaping events for the furtherance OF
the development of not only Its com
munity but the state and the nation.

TAXES.

They are upon us. Taxes on letters,
taxes on kilograms, taxes on theater
tickets, taxes on parlor car seats, taxes
on cigarets, taxes on pretty nearly
everything under the canopy from the
movies to railroad fares.
War costs money. This particular
war is costing this particular country
about forty-two million dollars DAY
The government is paying these expen'
ses by issuing Liberty bonds and by
levying taxes.
You can dodge buying Liberty bonds
if your conscience will let you.
But YOU can't dodge taxes. They
stick as close to you as your shadow
Wherever you go, there they are now
iumping in front of you, long and thin,
now smuggling close to you, round
and fat. but always there. Your shad-
ow NAV not go to bed with you, but
he is right there when you get up In
the morning. 1t is the same with taxes
Your pocketbook is going to feel as
though an imp had bored hole in II
to let the dimes run out.
But there Is a consolation. There is
a mighty consolation. Every penny
that goes for taxes goes for the great
est cause to which a people was ever
asked to contribute. Every extra cent
YOU paste on letters is bullet sent
whizzing by you into the German
trenches. Every cent of tax you pay
on your movie ticket or your choco
late milkshake is a blow from the
shoulder struck for the freedom OF the
world. Your dollars were asked to vol
unteer Some of them did. Now some
more of them are going to be drafted
You may not like it. You will miss
the dear dollars from the family board
no question about that But whether
YOU like it or not, whether you miss
them or not the dollars are going.
The question now is: Are you goins
TO get your moneys worth in freedom
and lasting peace for yourself and your
children out of this war, or are you
going to add to these departing dollars
the still greater sum you Will have "a
pay if Germany wins and the kaiser
calls on America for tribute?
Whether you have bought Liberty
bonds or whether you are only tax
payer in the war for democracy you
have gone into partnership with the
United States government ana the
United States army and navy. Every
soldier in the trenches. every sailor IN
the great fleet. is your partner in bus
mess
He is on the road" working for you
Your job is to advertise the business
to increase ,he firms good will: to think
think, think about the needs OF the
business; to talk. talk, talk about the
righteousness of Americas cause; and
to work. to work and to work. backing
up your partner over there. 80 tha'
that cause may be triumphant.
You and Uncle Sam are partners
You have invested money with him
You have gone into business with him
II is up to you as well as up TO hin
TO make that business a success.

Is BULGARIA WEAKENINGs

Boston Post: Bulgaria has been Ger
many's mainstay in the kaiser's mid
die Europe" dream. Without her. he
would have been completely shut off
from his Mohammedan ally. Turkey.
With her the allies campaign in the
East would have been far different;
the whole war might have been over
by now.
For these reasons it is for interest to
note the feeling in various diplomatic
circles that Bulgaria's faith in the
omnipotence Of Wilhelm is at last be-
ginning to weaken. She sees that he
is not winning the war. and that his
chances of doing so are growing slim
mer every day. She is impressed with
Americas entrance into and prepara-
tions for the contest. She has large
number of American-educated men in
public and military life. They know
what this country can do.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Sun says that somewhat alarm
ed over the prospects and seeing the
German prospects of speedy military
victory unfulfilled, Bulgaria statesmen
apparently have become sufficiently in
terested to make cautious inquiries at
Berlin. To make matters more un-
satisfactory to Sofia, Wilhelmstrasse
practically has declined to give Bull
garia inquiries serious attention. Ber'
lin apparently is resentful at the mere
suggestion that there may be any
question of the good faith of German
promises. AS result, signs of i'll
feeling appear both in Berlin and in
Sofia Guarded statements in the Ger
man press show how Wilhelmstrasse
is censoring illusions to Bulgarian dis
trust"
So long as Germany is powerful
enough to punish Bulgaria for any at
tempted desertion, the latter country
will stand pat" But the day is surely
coming when she must make a differ
ent choice.
