TIME FOR DEEDS OF VALUE
Women Should Conserve Strength
Wasted in Anxiety Over Hearsay
and Concentrate Efforts.

Nothing is more important than TAX
ing the big view of life. especially at
the present time, which is q crisis in
the worlds history. Men and women
have been too self-centered to be of
much use or service to anyone, even
to themselves, but now, IL at no other
time, there must be q settlement Of
this stage OF affairs, q writer states.
S~elf-centered folk merely consider
small events and the natural affronts
they take at petty things-which are
of no moment whatever-cause q loss
OF the big opportunities In the cOnsid-
GRAFTON Of these affairs, which are so
trivial that they are not worth q mo
ment's notice.
The woman who has spent SO much
time considering what other folks say
and what the worlds opinion means
in every passing event of her life has
begun to feel that after all 'they say
does not count for much. and 1t IL
what she is really doing that amounts
to anything. II she has any worth
whatever, she will make up for lost
time by conserving the strength vast
ed in anxiety over silly hearsay and
concentrate her efforts to accomplish
deeds OF value and good service.

BEADING FOR FINE BLoUsEs
Two Spanish Designs That Should Ap-
peal 70 Women Desiring 70 Make
Own Garments.

It Is easy to spot an imported hand
made blouse because of the extreme
care with which oil the finishing Is
done. Usually seams are put togeth-
er with beading or entre-deux. This
offers a suggestion to the home sewer
who seeks to rival the importers In
her own handmade blouses. She can
make her OWE entre-deux and make 1t
In such a way that it will form q trim

to a fashion correspondent.

well to go over the edges with a sim

this when yon are joining It to the ma

hook and slip stitches to hold beading
and seam together.
Two Spanish designs for entre-deux
are especially lovely. One In pyramid

best models, or at least the most com
Portable ones, are really sleeveless
waists. Vests Of this type hold their
shape, stay where placed and are much
to be preferred to the vests that are
merely vests, and which must be
pinned to the suit jacket of which they
form a part.
The sketch gives q suggestion for q
modish tailored vest or sleeveless jack
ct, that may be made of pique, linen,
faille silk or satin In white or some
preferred light color. This little gar-
ment would be easy to fashion, and
would be a charming addition to q
plain tailored suit.
The well dressed woman Is the one
who buys carefully and economically
the major items of her wardrobe, and
who buys as carefully but with a Law
ish hand the minor items, such as
gloves, wells, hats, shoes and neck
wear. A pair Of shoe trees for every
pair of shoes Is also another necessity.

Paris, oct, 2o.-Col, Edward VII
liam House, who has arrived in Paris
on a confidential mission for Pres
ident Wilson, today made the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated
Press:
"lt is with the keenest pleasure
that ! find myself again in France.
Upon my last visit, some eleven
months ago, the allies fortunes. it
seemed, had struck their lowest lev
el. Those memorable days, when
we counseled together and formu-
lated plans looking toward military
and naval unity and the co-ordina-
ton OF war economies and industries
can never be forgotten
From that hour the clouds be-
gan to lift and we could see. dimly
at first, the stars of hope and vic
tory which today are shining with
such a steady and eflulgent glow.
eve are now confronted with dif-
ferent and more complex problems
problems which | feel confident
will be met with high courage and
with the wisdom which comes from
lofty motives and unselfish hearts"
Colonel House told the semi-offi-
cial Havas Agency that his trip
had no relation with an armistice
and he had not received from Pres
ident Wilson and the American gov
ernment special powers to negotiate
on this question. As regards future
negotiations, which might arise,
Colonel House declined to talk.
The colonel added that the Amer
lean press has been a faithful inter-
prefer OF the general feelings of the
United States during the exchange
of notes with Germany.

fulness will have been wisely de

Eligible to Registration
The one best bet in bringing live
stock into Carter County for sale at
public auction IS to follow the
Woods idea and have them sold un-
der the supervision OF the Carter
County Livestock Association; or,
better still, have the association
either negotiate the sale or, after
thorough investigation, recommend
a dealer whose livestock and re
sponsibility meet with the standard
required by absolute protection.
The present move promises to
open up territory in which there
will be an unusual demand for reg
istered livestock, and there is no
excuse for residents of the county
being stung. They will want good
stuff, but they must be assured Of
getting it by the necessary action
OF the contemplated enlarged breed
ers' association.

This is the day OF serious thought
for conservation and no opportunity
should be overlooked
Ardmore Fortunate In Gas Service
Ardmore has been most fortunate
in its gas service Tor the past two
years, enjoying, virtually, an unin-
terrupted gas service, and that in
the face OF the shortage experienced
by many other points in the state
and the outlook for the coming win
ter's supply is that this same service
will continue. This same company
took care OF the needs OF Ardmorc
IN ice consumption in the same eff
clent and satiSwactory manner. No
restrictions were placed on the
amount of ice to be delivered but
to the contrary, every one was abls
to buy all the ice that was needed
even including the farmers and
those who bought from the docks,
with the exception Of about two
weeks during the entire season.
This exceptional service has been
an important factor in Ardmore's
progress and should serve as most
convincing argument to new enter
prlNeS in making their decision for
a location where they will get the
benefit of the most advantages.
As before stated. the Consumers
Light Y Power Company, realize to
the fullest extent the necessity of
fostering the best interests OF the
farmer and livestock grower. They
lavor the organization of strong
livestock, feed and seed growers
association, the eradication of ticks

agricultural lines and can be de-
pended upon at all times to lend
their best influence effort and funds
toward the realization of the highest
efficiency along these lines.
