being made through our senators
and congressman to see that this
situation is at once remedied. In
order to enable the government to
know that the demand is general
throughout the state, you are asked
to do two things:
0 Send to your representative
in the senate and congress, also to
w. G.. McAdoo, director-general,
Washington, telegram reading
somewhat similar to the following.
1t is better that you word one OF
your own expressing the same idea
rather than merely copying this:
twenty-five per cent increase OF
Oklahoma state freight rates which
were advanced so per cent in March
will be ruinous to the state. Please
have Oklahoma rates reduced to in
terstate basis before June 25th ad-
vance becomes effective
~ That you print in your news
paper prior to June 25th strong
editorial setting forth the facts
shown herein, and calling upon your
readers to send similar kilograms
and letters.
United Action Imperative.
It is true that on May %, Mr.. Nc
Adoo reversed his former ruling in
response to urgent demands made
by our congressman and has prom
ised early relief for Oklahoma, but
no fight is won until it is finally won
and it is important that volume OF
communications be received by the
director and our congressman in or
der that they may know how critical
the situation is and how much in
terested the people Of the state are
in the subject. We cannot be sure
Of satisfactory settlement until the
tariffs are actually published.
The Oklahoma City Advertising
Club has already sent kilograms sim
liar to the above. but we feel that
our influence is far from sufficient.
Government departments are very
busy these days and the matter
should be kept before their notice
until relief is actually an accom-
plished fact. We need the co-oPera-
ton of every newspaper in Okla
homa and every citizen who has the
welfare of the state at heart.

WAR ON THE SCARLET
WOMEN CONTINUES
SHERIFF'S FORCES ARE BUSY
RIDDING COUNTY OF ALL
UNDESIRABLES.

The roundup in the oil field con-
tinues. Last night Will Ward,
deputy sheriff, brought nine women
in from Headton and placed them
in the county jail. They were bet
ter dressed and presented a more
prosperous appearance than did the
Is brought in from Ragtown. Com
plants charging vagrancy were fill
ed against them in Justice Frank
lin Bourland's court and they were
all arraigned this morning. Six of
them entered pleas of not guilty,
and they were held in bail of 81 900
each and their trials set for June
IS. Three of them pleaded guilty
and were each fined $l0O and SEN
fenced to serve thirty days in jail.
The court advised them that if they
saw fit to pay the costs in the cases
they would be allowed to 60 on
condition that they left Carter
county and remained out of it, and
if they returned they would be COM
PEELED to serve out the sentence i'm
posed including the payment of the
fine. The three said they would ar
range to do that and all were re-
turned to Jail.
There were no cases against wom-
en- in the police court this morn
ing. There were only four cases on
the docket, two for drunkenness,
one for parking a car against a fire
plug and the case of ohm Kusch

lowed to go if he would leave the
city yesterday, and who was picked
up by the police again last night.

FINANCIAL REVIEW IS
IN HEALTHY TONE
Industrial Conditions Strong AS
Result of u. S. Cooperation.


New York, June 1.-The gov
ernment's proposed program of tax
alton and the war situation were
the outstanding events of the week
in the stock market, alternating al
times in their relative Importance.
Liquidation of long stock was oc-
casionally induced by foreign ad-
vices, the active list as a whole un-
dergoing moderate impairment,
Rails at times proved more suscept-
ible than shares of less intrinsic
values.
The heaviness of certain OF the
high grade, or investment rails, was
ascribed by rumor to enforced sales
for enemy alien account. Industrial
conditions were visibly strength
ened by the greater cooperation
between the government and pro-
ducerS and practically all the steel
and iron mills of the country are
booked until 1920 to full capacity.

Miami Record Herald: Mrs. O.
J. Horn of Picher handled two
mems Jobs at the Mahutska mine
for two weeks recently while her
husband, who "buddies' with her,
was nursing a crushed foot.
Mrs. Horn is supposed to be the
only woman hoisterman in the
world. She handles the great steam
hoist which shoots the ore cars from
the railroad between the two shafts
to the mill derrick with as much
skill as any man in the field and is
ready at any time she is called to go
into the derrick and pull from the
ground, for the hoists are just the
same.
The Horns came from Tennessee
nearly year ago with a small mule
team and Mr.. Horn at once secured
contract for hauling the ore from
the field shaft Of the Mahutska to
the mill, using the little mules, one
hooked TO each car, Mrs. Horn driv
ing one of them.
Soon it was found that the mules
could be hitched tandem fashion to
two cars, then another was added
and Mrs. Horn was only needed to
do the switching, but this was not
enough for so active a woman, so
Mr.. Horn learned to handle the
hosting engine and taught his wife,
then she became a fullhedged hoist
erman
A few weeks ago Mr.. Horn had
the misfortune to mash his foot and
was not able to work for two weeks,
but the contract was carried out ust
the same, as the lady hoisterman
added her husbands duties to her
own and actually did the work of
two men for that period, hauling as
high as ia carloads of ore from the
shaft and hosting it to the mill in
a day.
Mrs. Horn is picturesque char
acter. She is small, but stocky. She
dresses in mans attire from head to
foot, jumper, overalls, cap and
shoes. Her hair is cropped and her
masquerade is complete except for
the telltale gold hoops in her ears,
which, womanlike, she cannot give
up, and a smile that is 100 per cent
woman.
The lady hoisterman is cultured
and good looking in spite Of her
She appears to be about
30 years of age and is a mother
When asked where her daughter
was, Mrs. Horn hesitated, but final
Y acknowledged that she was mar
led and lived in Memphis, Tenn.

PUBLIC ASKED TO JOIN IN
EFFORTS TO CHANGE
M'ADOO ORDERS.

The Ardmoreite has received the
following letter from the Oklahoma
City Advertising Club urging
prompt action on the part OF every
interest and community affected:
The time has come to make a
stand if we are to protect ourselves
from a condition which will cripple
the industrial growth of Oklahoma.
Here is the situation in brief:
On March 25th the railroads de
clared a so per cent advance in
freight rates within the state, with
out advances elsewhere, resulting in
rates on almost every article Of
commerce and agriculture much
higher than the interstate rates 10
and from other states.
Now comes the announcement OF
Director General McAdoo that on
June 25th a general increase OF 25
per cent in all freight rates through
out the country will take place, and
with it a ruling was issued by the
railroad men in his department that
while the state rates in Oklahoma
would eventually be equalized with
the interstate rates, that 1t would
first be necessary to add this in
crease on top of the advance made
in Oklahoma in March. Thus the
state rates will be increased by 25
per cent OF $50 per cent. or 81 l-2
per cent. 50 that the rates after
June 25th will be 81 IL per cent
higher than the rates made by our
state commission. The interstate
rates. however. would be increased I.
but p per cent in all, as they have
not been advanced.
Highly Discriminatory.
This arrangement means that II .
will cost man in Oklahoma more .
TO ship 10 his customers than it will
cost a man living in Kansas, Mis-
sour or Arkansas to ship the same
goods into Oklahoma for an equal
distance. So glaring is the dis
on some commodities
hat IL j, cheaper TO ship 20 miles
from Wichita Kan. through Okla
loma City and Purcell to Ardmore,
han il Is to ship from either point
10 the same destination. though the
distance from the former Is 10 and
rom the latter 2O5 miles less than
rom Wichita.
The same condition. though not
o the same extent. applies TO live
.tock and farm products. The roads
ire charging in Oklahoma higher
.ates than have been ordered by the
interstate Commerce Commission

MUST RUSH PRODUCTION
Whittier Trucks Stand Every Test Of
government Orders Coming In
Every Day as Result-Must Hurry
New Kenosha Plant of Company.

1t has become known today that dur
ing the past two weeks the Whittier
Motor Truck Company has been award
ed government contracts for motor
trucks totaling in the aggregate we'll
over a million dollars.
These trucks are especially designed
by the Whittier company for special
service with various departments Of the
army and navy and should materially
assist in the "Win the War" move
ment now being pressed so hard.
1t is understood that some of these
units will run as high as 100000 each
in cost. For instance, an order was
placed for thirty-two motor trucks at
approximately $8,50O.OO each; thirty
six at approximately $5,50OO0 each;
thirty-six at over $5,O0O00 each; two
at 100000 each; eleven at $4,400.00
each; twelve at $3,6O0.0O each; fourteen
at $4,000 each, and one at 100000.
Various other motor truck equipment
has been ordered running into approx
mately one-quarter of million dollars.
1t has not been possible to get exact
information as 30 the particular type
of trucks these are to be, as the officers
of the company are not willing to make
any statements except that the orders
have been received and will be executed
within the next three months.
1t was learned, however, that some
of these trucks are to be used at the
Great Lakes Training Station for road
building purposes. It is quite likely
that they will be used in the complet-
ing of the military road between Mil
waukee and Chicago
The placing of this business with the
Whittier Motor Truck Company merely
emphasizes the part Kenosha is play
ing in this great world war and should
prove to be another nail in the
Kaiser IS coffin.
The success of the WHITTIER company
in landing this big government business
and the assurance that there is more
where this came from, is making the
building of the new Kenosha plant Of
the company matter for immediate
action. The company is pushing
every possible plan to get the new
plant started.
