LOOP TERMINAL
On TWENTIETH


The Twentieth street station of
the Rock Island lines will become
also the northern terminal Of the
Rock Island Southern electric rail-
road about Jan. /. 1920. II q contract
now being acted upon Is favored by
both lines.
George W. Quackenbush, vice
president of the Southern, spent
last week in New York and the
east managing the deal. He left
for that place again today. hoping
to see the matter decided upon in
the next week.
A contract is being formulated by
the governing board Of the Rock
Island lines in con junction With Mr..
Quackenbush. representing the
Southern. 1t provides for the ex-
tension ofN.he electric line from
its present terminal station In the
south yards to the Twentieth street
station, and he handling Of all pas
senger traffic over the Southern
into and out Of Rock Island through
the Office in the Rock Island sta
ton
Looks Certain
The Southern vice president stat
ed today that he foresaw no hitch
lin the preparations, that everything
favored the proposed change, and
that he looked for a provision in the
contract authe rizing the new sys-
tenn to become operative on or be-
fore the first OF the year,
Although the electric power lire
will be extended TO the new ssta-
ton and the electric cars will make
their terminal there, the steam
equipment, handling freight, will
probably seldom have occasion 10

yards.
This move on the part Of the
Southern will. be decisive step
toward giving improved service to
Rock Island patrons of the road as
well as others along its route COM
ing to this city. The Rock Island
station is in the loop and block
from the route Of all street car

SHOE.LEATHER PHILOSOPHY

CUNNING IT UP, the Federal Trade Com
omission concluded its recent report on the
high price of shoes with this most definite ano
meanngful statement:
Taking into consideration all the cir
cumstances, especially the circumstance
that the United States was engaged IN
war the large profit taken by slaughter
ers for hides. by shoe manufacturers and
retail shoe dealers cannot be JUSTIFIED,
and there is consequently no justification
for prices that consumers have been COM
PEELED to pay for shoes.
Five years ago the price of respectable
pair of shoes was something like 200 per cent
less than the present price-at retail, we mean.
Five years ago at least 100000 wearers of
shoes were in the consumers class and now are
not wearing shoes-they have been killed or
have died in the war.
Because of increased demand for meat due
to the war; many more millions of beef cattle
have been slaughtered in the past five years
than in like period in normal times. Each
of these animals had hide. The hide was
made into leather. The leather was not eaten
by the soldiers, nor by the people, nor was it
all made into belly-bands for army mules
Nevertheless, prices Of leather and its chief
manufactured commodity, shoes for the human
foot, have advanced hundreds of per cent
Some present-day Socrates or Plato OF
shoe leather philosophy will kindly step for
ward and do the proper phllosophlzng in the
premises.

EFFICIENT DEFENSE
COUNCIL FOR CARTER
COUNTY AN T|C|P ATED

Pursuant to a meeting of the new
state council of defense at Oklahoma
City Thursday, the council of defense
in every county will ba revived in
order that the present high cost of liv-
ing may be combatted, and to deter
mine who, il any, are responsible, in
the several counties of Oklahoma for eX-
listing conditions.
In appointing new defense councils
throughout the state, it is planned not
to appoint any one who is in any way,
directly or indirectly. Interested in sell
ing the necessities of life either whole
sale or retail, and to appoint only such
men who will make an earnest, honest
effort to treat the public fairly.
During the war Carter county had a
very efficient defense council, and that
body did much toward making this
county criterion to be copied by other
counties of the state. The consensus Of
expressed opinion is that. whoever may
compose its personnel, we will maintain
the reputation established by the old
organization
Governor Robertson mas Deen CHOSEN
president of the state organization and
he is expected through the committee
to make county appointments within a
few days.
The meeting Of county attorneys,
called by Governor Robertson to as
semble at Oklahoma City, is being
watched with keen interest by people
in Ardmore and Carter county. County
Attorney Brown addressed the Ardmore
Lions Club at it's weekly luncheon
Thursday and has been furnished with
information that will materially aid him
i'm making a report before the body.

WELL, WHY NOT?

EVERYBODY is out after the profiteers big
Land little, at home or elsewhere-every-
body except the profiteers themselves, who
will be running to cover presently. The con-
ference Of county attorneys with the governor,
at Oklahoma City today, should result in some
definite policy and action. The people of Ard
more and the rest of Oklahoma are expecting
something worth while to come of this con
ference. They are expecting, in plain terms,
that eNorbltant charges for the things neces-
sary to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
will be cut off, and that prices will be reduced
to natural level.
In other plain terms the people expect that
the natural law of supply and demand, as set
forth more than century ago by Adam Smith,
and as operative until society put the law out
natural crimes against society put the law out
Of commission, shall be re-enacted and permit
ted to operate naturally.
The Ardmoreites special correspondence
from Oklahoma City today carries one sug
gestion which is worth serious consideration.
1t is that retail dealers be compelled to mark
plainly on all articles the cost price and the
selling price. If it shall require special ses-
sion of the Legislature to bring about this com
pusion, the end will Justify the means.
You are not going to pay SIT for pair of
shoes, for instance, if you see cost mark for
$3.50 on the goods.
You are not going to pay 10 cents pound
for onions if you see a cost mark for three
cents on the goods.
The retailer is entitled to reasonable
profit but he is not entitled to an indecent
and inhunlan steal. He is not entitled to the
privilege of taking advantage of want and hun
ger to build up his private fortune out of the
sufferings OF the people.
The day is coming-and it appears to be
not very far in the future-when the profiteer
will be labeled in his community-bran is
filter word
Local combinations between dealers in one
or another commodity, whereby the price is
advanced far beyond what is warranted under
the econonlc law Of supply and demand, have
been created in many communities. These com
bnations will be found out when the pubic
gets good and ready and goes out after the
profiteer with proper legal authority and ener-
gy. Then the combinations will melt away, |
the combiners will be made known through the
pitiless white light of publicity, and the prices
will drop to normal level.

not seem as though L can say enough
in praise OF this wonderful medicine for
the health it has brought me. Miss
Cora LEE. HALL, West Plains, Mo.
Perhaps it may seem an extrava-
CANT statement to say that this great
remedy saved life; but women like
Mrs. Hall, to whom it has brought
health, appreciate the danger and
suffering they have escaped too well
to doubt it! All who suffer should
try it. Why risk life and health
without it?
