An Excellent Investment.

This is the best investment the
government has ever offered and 1t
is up to the business men to teach
the people that they are not dong
il a favor, but, on the contrary,
the government has resorted to this
means to do the people a favor by
leaving a cash asset in their hands
in their own community, as an alter
war measure. Therefore, it behooves
all business men and bankers to
urge this thrift and savings move
ment.
The government OF the United
States is speeding up and has made
heavy calls for money and has asked
the people to hurry this war savings
movement, rather than issue another
Liberty loan. The thrift stamp has
been practically abolished and will
be entirely abolished during this
campaign.
Mr. Barnes requests that the mer-
chants OF Ardmore give this proper
publicity and support to the press.
and that the people treat this mat
ter seriously and put it over, and
whenever they find that this has not
been done, asks them as an indi-
vidual unit and committee to see
that everyone does his full duty on
June %.

in which the people are asked TO
participate.

MANAGEMENT
Members of Well-Kknown Order
Take High Ground Against Ac-

leagues.
Will Convene B. M. G. Session in
New York City, According to
General Law and Wishes of the
People Monday, Sept. ASK
Lodges to Send Delegates.

New York, Aug. 28-What is
destined to be one Of the bitterest
fights waged by the members of
any organization whether civic,
fraternal, religious or political, is
that which faces the members of
the Grand United Order of Odd
Fellows in America.
For years the members of the
executive body known as the Sub
Committee of Management (the
members of which are elected at
session of the Biennial Movable
Committee), have been terrorizing
the members Of the various subor-
dinate lodges throughout the jul
risdictiOn, to so great an extent
that they now seek to spread the
German spirit of Kaiserism III
their every act. The most recent
ruling of the Board of the Sub
Committee of Management which
consists of nine men, is the order
seeking to nullify the convening
of the Nineteenth B. NJ. c. which
was scheduled to meet in the City
of New York on Monday, Sept. 9.
According to the General Laws OF
the Order, Law V, Sections l, 2
and 3. the delegates elected by
each subordinate lodge shall com
prise the members of the B. NJ. c.
and they shall decide the day and
date, time and place of each sue
ceeding biennial session.
The members of the Sub-Com-
mittee of Management being elect
ed by the delegates to the various
B. Nj. C.'s, are purely the crea-
lures of such. and therefore have
no rights whatever i'll ordering
the postponement of session that
was fixed by the B. NJ. c. in con-
vention assembled. With the hope
Of carrying into effect their per-
sonal ambitions which plainly
show evidences of German Kultur,
the members Of the Sub-COmmit-
te., headed by Grand Master Ed
ward II. Morris, through the Odd
Fellows Journal (the Official or
gan of the order) issued a man
date last January tending to call
off the session Of the Nineteenth
B. NJ. G.. With the country thrown
into the World s War when the
Allied Forces are fighting for Gov
ernment of the People and by the
People, think of Governor of the
State, or the President OF the
Unitde States sending forth such
a proclamation to the people of
the electorate saying that as a
war measure, there shall be no
election of State or National Off
GERS. Any such order promul-
gated by the States or Nation s
Chief Executive making them
selves perpetual Office holders
would be contrary to the merits
of the Constitution Of the United
States, and serve as just cause for
rebellion.
The members of the Order iii
certain sections of tle country,
have therefore risen in righteous
wrath, and are determined to hold
the Nineteenth b. M c. during
the week beginning Sept. 9 next.

THE ODD FELLOWS
TROUBLE

bic Tor the statement that the Sub
Committee of Management of the
Grand United Order of Odd Eel
lows has seen fit to reScind its or
der postponing the biennial scS-
sion of that great organization this
year and that orders have been
issued to send delegates to the
meeting to be held in New York,
September 9, 1918. This has ere
ated a sensation as it shows thA
the Davis faction has the backing
of a large proportion of the order
in going ahead with the meeting
any way.
AS we predicted. it was neces-
Sary to meet the action of that
maStcrly combination led by Hon.
Henry Lincoln Johnson and his
able assistant b. j. Davis. 1t will
be interesting to note the outcome
of the present struggle. 1t looks
to MS as though two b. NJ. C'S. will
meet in New York. Grand Mas
ter Morris will not recognize the
Georgia delegation and the dele
cation will not be large from any
part of the country. If the ma
chine resorts to rough house "
manipulation at which both sides
to the controversy are skilled in
the game, protesting contingent
will proceed to do business and
leave the question of regularity to
be settled at some other time.
1t is plainly evident that the
Subcommittee of Management
made binder in postponing the
session this year. 1t has given the
other side an excuse for their pro-
testing meeting and they will con
test the regularity of the delegates
now being sent by the regulars un
der the leadership of Grand Mas
ter Morris. Unless we are much
mistaken. Hon. Benjamin j. Da-
Wis will lay claim to having been
restored to the Grand United Or
der of odd Fellows regardless Of
which body does the restoring.
Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson
will have enough funds to finance
the affair and the fight in the Odd
Fellows organization will be
transferred from Georgia in gen
cral to the United States of Ameri-
ca. We are no prophet or son Of
a prophet, but it is "A safe prcdic-
tiiom TO say that Ben. Davis and
his crowd will never 90 all the
way to New York without sccur-
ing admission to some kind Of b.
VI. C.. even though the Hon. Ed
ward II. Morris is not the prcsid-
ing officer The part that the
courts will play in the affair is an
open question. The Georgia b. NJ
G. Will not meet ut the same place
as the Morris b. NJ. C. The com
mittee on Credentials viii not be
the same. The subcommittee Of
Management by lis action has
paved the way for a wide open"
split and those Georgia politicians
have not been slow to take advan-
tagc Of the bIundcr.
There will be two flags flying
after the September meeting. both
bearing the emblem "B. NJ G. Of
the Grand United Order Of Odd
FelIows' and it will be for the
rank and file to say nder which
flag they will rally. We hope that
a committee on the adjustment of
difficulties may be appointed and
AN agreement reached by which
this split will be closed up, but "A
person must be an optimist indeed
who predicts that such a desirable
result can be accomplished at the
New York session. Planet, Rich
