new type of war plane which, he be-

Speed and safety are the two points
claimed for the airplane designed by
Doctor Christmas, who is known as
the oldest living Investigator of aero
dynamics. He was a co-worker with
Doctor Langley, inventor of heavier
than air machines, and has built sew
eral types of airplane. In 1913 he
received the first American aerial mail

The program for the sale of war
savings stamps in 1919, announced a
few days ago by the treasury, is al

They will not mature until January l,

costing 25 cents each will be sold

They say he's dead.
He is not dead!
This form we see is not the boy we

That which we knew and loved is with

He is not dead!
He by your side shall often stand;
By day, by night, in dreams, his voice
In all it's tenderness will come again
And call you, Mother, oft and oft
again
And wake you from your sleep.
He is not dead!
He is not deadi

We cannot hear, nor see, nor say;

Nor understand there is no death
But to the dead in sin alone,
And these by sin shall be no more.
In Christ the soul alone shall live;
He everlasting life will give,

FUN MAKERS OF
THE ARMY
Negro Troops Heroes of Many Widely
Quoted Stories.

The humor of the American army is
largely supplied by the negro troops
Up at the American front story after
story was told about them by the old
newspaper men in the service.
There was the story of the negro
troops coming across the Atlantic in
a transport. A submarine was sight
ed. The six sharp blasts from the
whistle shrilled out and the order was
given to the colored troops to fall in
on the deck. The negroes stood in line
at attention, silent and scared, while
the passengers gathered in the sa-
loon. Then the silence was broken by
one big black man in the rear rank
who, in a small, quavering voice, ask
ed, "Does any niger here want to
buy gold watch and chain ?"
Then there was the story of the
crap-shooting negro in the artillery
whose job it was to feed the
shells to the big gun. Each time he
drove the shell into the breech and the
gun doomed, he jumped high in the
air and, with characteristic crap
crack of the fingers, shouted,
Count your men, Mr.. Kaiser, count
your men," Then as another shell
was driven home and the gun fired,
another jump, another shout of
Count 'em again, Mr.. Kaiser, count |
EN- again"

Christmas Celebration

The Episcopal church was the scene
of an exceptionally pretty Christmas
celebration Sunday afternoon, when
the children of the Sunday school gave
a charming program Of music and
readings, and enjoyed the exchange
of gifts from tree, which had been
prepared by the ladies. Especially
commendable were the musical num-
bers rendered by Merle Bucknum,
baritone, and Janet Hawkins, violin
Following the program the ladies of
the church served hot chocolate and
cookies to all in attendance.

board the transport after dark. Mex
f., morning, when the troops woke uI
the ship was we'll out to sea and there
was not sign of land to be seen. One
negro soldier, who had never seen OF
heard of the ocean, leaned against the
rail and looked awesomely at the vast
stretch of water. "Oh, Lawd," he ejac-
ulated, ode levee am bust"
A few days out, when the boat be-
gan to toss and the waves became
mountainous and menacing, sea-
sick negro soldier looked up to the
sky from where he lay on the wet
deck, miserable and terrified, and
groaned: ooh, Lawd, please make dat
ocean come to attenshun."
A negro soldier in the trenches
showed up with a new pair of shoes.
"Where did you get dem shoes, mig
ger?" asked his mate.
II gotten desc shoes from boche,"
was the reply.
Soon after this the first negro dis
appeared. He was gone about four
hours, but when he reappeared he, too,
had new pair of shoes.
"What KEEP you so long, nigger?"
asked his friend.

"Well, captain" came from one

KAISER PLANS TO
Be RESIDENT Of X
ISLAND Of CORFU

London, Nov. 14.-The deposed
German emperor probably will re
main only a short time at the castle
Of Amerongen, in Holland, accord
ing to Uniformed Dutch circles.
The correspondent at Amsterdam OF
the Daily Mail says it is believed that
ii the necessary arrangements can
be made, the former emperor will
reside permanently at the villa OF
Achilleillon, on the island Of Corfu.
The villa of Achilleillon on the
island OF Corfu which lies off the
southwestern coast OF Albania, was
acquired by the former German en-
peror in 1907, after the death OF
Empress Elizabeth OF Austria. for
whom it was built in 1890. So far as
known, the villa OF Achilleillon,
which has been the headquarters Of
the Serbians, still is under occupa-
tion by the allies.

BUSINESS IN ARDMORE.

The war is practically over, the
ban is being taken oil the opera
tion OF most sorts OF business, build
ing will be permitted to start up
again. in fact, the government is put
ting business in shape to resume
normal conditions just about as fast
as it can do so.
What is Ardmore going to do to
get things going mucn as they were
before men were pulled of various
sorts of work to make war materials
and many sorts of business were
banned; Apparently nothing. Her
business men seem TO have been
completely stupefied by the sudden
change which has taken place and
very little activity is seen.
Ardmore must wake up If she IS
to go ahead and be the city which
she is entitled to become. There is
no time to lose, Tor every minute is
precious. Ii is time that each indj-
vidual business man should put on
full steam and push ahead. In doing
so, an impetus will be given the for-
ward movement and the community
itself will progress.
The time has passed when we
can brag OF being a big wagon cot
ton town, surrounded by the great
est natural resources in the country.
These won't spell one thing if we
don't go ahead and push things
along. The time for the waiting day
has passed. Unless Ardmore meats
her requirements and goes after
business other cities will get it.
Competition will soon reign supreme
once more.
Not only should our merchants go
after the trade OF ihis
vast territory at their doors but the
city itself should sec that nothing is
lett undone 10 encourage :he indus
