TINS IS THE LAST ISSUE OF
DOPE. Old TRADER wants 10
THANK the whole people for their
FAIRNESS and KINDNESS and lac
has no grievance toward any man
living. In writing DOPE IL has been
the AIM to sny something In cach
Issue that would ne for the tPtiFT
of HUMANITY. Therefore THOU
SANDS Of people read DOPE who do
not know OLD TRADER. His first
fight was that the CREDIT ana
FREE DELIVERY system was
wrong; mt first the BtSiNlHS
World only LAUGHED at him ana
some said that he was GRAVY ana
MOST OF all the WHOLESALE
HOUSES, and the BANKS were
afraid 10 do business with him bn'
he did not WAIVER but kept Witt
ING DOPE and the COMMON
WORKADAY people saw that ne
was right and thcy cnnc 10 his res
cue with their trndc and his bnsi-
ness grow until today the combined
TRADERS Stores are the hest oi
their kind In the State.
Now here ~ the SITUATION.
OLD TRADER h In very Pooh
health, having been under llinIi
TENSION or NERVOUS STRAIN
for FIVE and u hnif years. He has
DIVIDED up his business ANA ms
family now own md control an me
TRADERS Stores, Mrs TKSDfls

GOODS Store at 100 East FIRST
street. Old TRADER has no
FINANCIAL interest except In his
FOUR BABY COLONIES on the
edges OF Tulsa where he now mas
mos, SIX HUNDRED BABIES
RoMPING and PLAYING IN
HOMES of THEIR OWN. The
UAPPIEST moment OF OLD TRAD
IRIS life II when he can sec LITTLE
CHILDREN PLAYING.
Mrs. TRADER said that Old
DAD went CRAZY about BABIES
and MOTHERS who have no
HOMES and he UNDERTOOK TO
build m BABY COLONIES for u
THOUSAND BABIES ana now that
hr only has about SIX HUNDRED
LITTLE TOTS In his COLONIES
that nc Is CONTINUALLY FRET
TING, Of how can he make II u
THOUSAND. She begs him to
be PATIENT and TRUST TO Ma
TrRE for the OTHER FOUR HUN
DRIED, for she says that II IL only
n QUESTION Of TIME when OLD
DADS DREAM will COME TRUE
and he will have thousand
RABIES In his FOUR BABY CoIio-
MES.
Mrs. TRADER says that OLD
DAD would get FAT In Tulsa II he
would stop WORRYING about the
war. HUT ever SINCE the Lusi-
TANIA went down he WORRIES
BECAUSE he IL not STRONG
YOUNG man. He does not rest day
nor night for all his talk Is, WE
MUST WHIP the KAISER and ut
TIMES he IMAGINES thnt he Is
STILL YOUNG ENOUGH and
STRONG ENOUGH TO 40 with our
BRAVE SAMMIES over the TOP
and snys the STARS and STRIPES
MUST and WILL FLOAT over BIER
LIN AS AN EMBLEM of FREE
DOM, JUSTICE and RIGHT and
THEN the GREAT FRINGE of
PEACE WILL AGAIN SAY PEACE
on EARTH GOOD WILL TO MAN.
No use TO PRAY III YOU Will
NOT FIGHT Then why KEEP SO
many PREACHERS at HOME
LET THEM GO TO the TRENCHES,
where their PRAYERS will GO
FORWARD with SHOT and SHE'LL
II Will he more EFFECTIVE with
the HUNS OLD TRADER BE
Lives in FERVENT PRAYER.
Hut he has no use for the HOT AK
SOCIETY KIND. DOCTORS tell
OLD TRADER TO TRAVEL until hc
gets FAT and thcn fic can help our
sANiMIES GO OVER the TOP.
Now " you have any SPECIAL
A
better see him QUICK for his busi-
ness win he left in the hands of an
AUDITOR and you must then SET
TILE ACCORDING To CONTRACT.
Mrs. TRADER SAYS that II AL
MOST BREAKS her HEART TO
GIVE up her BUSINESS for II Is
GOING so SMOOTHLY, But she
saws that II OLD DAD MUST 20 TINT
she MUST GO for she has stood by
his side cNcr since we WE'RE KIDS.
Mrs. TRADER has about TEN
thousand dollars stock OF the BEST
STAPLE Dry Goods aud SHOES;
She is BEGGING the people TO come
and BUY them So she can pay her
debts and 20 with OLD TRADER.
She says II YOU do not like her
PRICES please look over the stock
and pick out what YOU can use and
make her an offer, for no REASON
ABLE offer will bc turned down.
Old TRADER and Old TRAD
FRS DOPE will SOON be FOR
GOTTEN. But here Is HOPING
that any and all GOOD that OLD
TRADERS DOPE HAS DONE Will
still go MARCHING ON, and as for
THE TRADERS STORES they are
with you 10 stay, but EACH STORE
Will sit on it, own BOTTOM, that is,
RISE or FAIL ACCORDING to the
MANAGEMENT and how they
SERVE the PEOPLE. If Mrs
TRADER CLOSES ont her SHOES
and DRY GOODS WE'LL and GOOD
" But If not. OLD DAD Is GOING
away 10 stay until this cruel war Is
won and the STARS and STRIPES
FLOAT over BERLiN. You ma,
