The pace was set by such investment

by some as q public utterance favoring
the movement public to the extent that
the chamber is simply the representa-
tive Of the business men of the city.
Two houses with large membership
is complained of as being unwicldy ana
cumbersome. This is not denied by
many who are not in favor of the one
house plan. One prominent Democrat

since statehood does not believe the
one-house plan with small number
of representatives can be reconciled to
a democracy with republican form

Democrat thinks, shows a shade of an
autocratic hand that could not be toll
Grated.
Make both houses smaller in num-
ber,' he SAYS, but don't destroy our
republican form of government. The
union of the states was conceived of

URGES RAILWAY MEN
TO HELP WIN THE WAR

u. II. Daley general superintendent
of the Oklahoma, New Mexico & Pacific
Railway company, Rincling road, has
issued the following win the War
bulletin to employees o! that company:
The government Of the United states
has appealed to the ~ailrosds OF this
country to help. win the war, and this
it will be able to do, provided each In.
dividual will do his part. ts
The first thing necessary is harmony.
and the next cooperation, and without
both of these we can not do our part.
We are only a small organization, hut.
If each man does his part we can show
wonderful results. The agents ard
their forces can help keep the freight
cars moving by explaining to the snip.
pers or consignees that the detention
of a car, if only for a day is a iinan-
Cial loss for the carrier and a Simil
loss to the public, as il retards the
transportation of commodities of all de-
Scription.
Conservation of equipment at tbs
time is subject Of vital impoI tapce.
Shippers and consgnees must cooper.
ate with the railroads with the object
oi securing maximum tonnage, loading
and prompt release of all equipment
Great Importance in reporting by wire
or first train to auditors office all car.
loads refused or unclaimed is necessary.
The Council Of National Defense des
mands that all equipment be moved
with the utmost dispatch and in a simi-
lar manner be released on its arrival
AT destination. Please use all persuas-
i've influence possible to impress this
fact on shippers and consignees.
The trainmen can also help in the
conservation Of equipment, first by the
proper handling of cars while switch,
ing avoiding all rough handling. and
by breaking air hose before pulling the
pin. This will keep cars off the repair
track and keep them in service. 1t
would surprise all of us to know the
number of cars now in bad order on
various roads and most Of them placed
there by failure of trainmen to take

spotted as promptly as possible at des.
'tination and left in such a manner that
unloading and loading can be accom-
plished in a short time. Enginemen,
Ioundhouse employees and section men
should be exceedingly cautions and ex-
ert every effort to develop caution. The
likelihood of fires, accidents and other
disasters is now greater than ever. The
price of material has advanced to a
great extent and by saving methods we
will be able to conserve considerable
material.
America today has two great armies
the army in the field and the indus
trial army. These two great armies
each supporting the other will wicid
a mighty influence in the world war
for liberty. Let us, the members of
the latter army, fight as our brothers
At the front are fighting Fight for
thrift, for thrift must win the war

OH. JOY! HERE'S PIE
EVEN ON WHEATL ESS DAY

Thefe has been heard more complaint
on Whoatless days because pie was not
being served than objections to the ere
alton of bread in which there was little
or no wheat. The average American is
a devotce of pie and wants il whenever
ohtainable. Yesterday it was announced
that one Ardmorc restaurant was serv.
inS pie and that the crust of the pie
was not made of wheat flour. The
liberty pie was served at Earl's cafe
and inquiry developed the fact that the
chef, Tom Foster had developed a pie
with crust made of buckwhea:.
sample of the pie proved so delicious
that the chef was asked to give his
recipe to the housewives of Ardmorc.
He said ali he used in making it vas
buckwheat flour and compound.
The proprietor, Earl Kesselring. sent
to Pennsylvania for the bucltwheat. :,nd
II present prices, about SIS per barrel,
it cannot be recommended as a matte
of economy, but the pie crust WAS e..
