Beginning at o'clock tomor-
row morning a committee of cit
izens will be at the Chamber of
Commerce where the Carter
County Council of Defense will
be in continuous session to hear
appeals and evidence in relation
to complaints as to the support
given by citizens in the campaign
for funds for war work the past
week.
Every citizen who has not yet
contributed or who has not sub
scribed his full quota is invited tc
come voluntarily before this
committee and in the case of 9TH
ers who have not shown a prop
er appreciation of the Importance
of this campaign and given it
their support, citations will be is
sued for them to appear.
In view Of the fact that, in
number of cases, committees
of business men have been in
suited and ordered from offices
where they have gone for cub
scriptions and the antagonistic
attitude assumed by some citizens
of Ardmore, the committee is
seriously considering the adop-
ton of the plan pursued in many
other cities, of publishing the
names and photographs of the
slackers.
This is no time to temporize,
and the Ardmore men back of this
campaign and interested in the
good name of the city will back
up any action taken by this COM
mittee or members of this coun-
Gil.

CONSUMERS NEED NOT

Despite the fact that the news
was printed several days ago that
consumers were no longer re-

when buying flour, it has been
reported to the county food ad-
ministrator that some unscru-
pulouS dealers have been forcing
the substitutes on their custom

little supply they may have on

and should be promptly resen.-
ed by the customer as the gov

fool We have all got to put our
heads together and pool everything
we have got for the benefit of the
ideals which are common to ALL
asked whether he would visit the
grand fleet, President replied that he
was afraid he would not have time
adding that he fully realized that be-
hind the great armies there was the
strong, silent and watchful support
of the British navy in securing the
communications of the allies.
"He referred also to the very hap
by comradeship and cooperation be-
tween the British and American
navies."
Desires to Cooperate.
The correspondent then adds:
president Wilson, in discussing
the role OF the British fleet in the
maintenance of what, at any rate
during the war, had been the free
dom of the seas for the free people
of the world, spoke with sincerity
which no amount of writing can con-
Ney. His accents convinced me that
he is believer in the decency and
honesty of the Anglo-saXon race.
He said:
+" 1t is essential for the future
neace of the world that there should
be the frankest cooperation and
most generous understanding between
the two English speaking democra-
cies. We comprehend and appreci-
ate. l believe the grave problems
which the war has brought to the
British people and fully understand
the special international questions
which arise from the fact of your
peculiar position as an island en-
pire.' "
The correspondent declared that he
left the president with the assur-
ance ringing in my ears that he de-
sired to cooperate with the British
and with all the allies. in securing,
with their counsel a new state of af-
fairs throughout the world
