DYNAMITED DIPPING VAT
IS AGAIN READY FOR Use

Several weeks ago n dipping vat
north Of Ardmore on the Crit Garter
farm, was dynamited and completely
destroyed, supposedly by opposers OF
the cattle dipping law which compels
owners TO dip all cattle on scheduled
dates.
The combined efforts of county and
township officers have thus far failed
in establishing the guilt of any one, al.
though there is n well grounded sus-
picion as to the identity Of the parties.
yet the evidence is lacking.
For some time cattle owners in that
vicinity have been compelled to drive
cattle to the Springer vat, which has
been quite an inconvenience.
Monday, w. p. Martin, county tick
inspector, reported the tank nearly
ready again for dipping. The concrete
sides have been finished and the bot
tom ready for installation. As soon as
the concrete sets. the tank will he
charged and made ready for dipping.
Mr. Martin states that this is the only
serious case of trouble that has oc.
Cured in Carter county. Cattle owners
he says are learning the value of dip
ping and complying with the law In
remote cases, he says, some have to be
shown, but they usually come across
when they find it is better to comply
with the law than to defy it.

SOME REALTY OWNERS
PREPARING To BOOST
RENTS SEPTEMBER 1ST

County Attorney Brown has been no.
titled by several Ardmore business men
that landlords are making demands for
an increase in rentals, beginning with
September /.
Mr.. Brown states he is going to make
a strenuous effort to see If these de.
mands are justified If they are, no
action will be taken; If not, he init
mates that the owners will be treated as
other profiteers and brought before a
proper tribunal.
Several business men on North Wash.
ngton street have already been mott.
fled to pay 25 per cent more monthly
than they have been paying.
The crusade against boosting rents
in Oklahoma City had a beneficial ef
feet, and the same methods may be
applied in this city.
Whether other renters of business
properties have been notified to pay
more or vacate has not been reported,
but thorough investigation is going
to be made through the medium OF
queries from day to day. by the county
attorney.

The deferred rebate" system wa,
made Illegal so far us the United
States Is concerned by the Shipping
Act of September, 1916. This system
used as protection against the com
petition of non-conference lines, of.
fered to shippers at the end of a speci.
fled period rebate of from five to ten
per cent. Of their payments for freight
on the stipulation that in the interven-
Ing period they had given their entire
trade to the conference lines.
Any marked general reduction I'm
rates may be said automatically to
stimulate shipments. A high level
usually results in the holding back of
large quantities of freight on which ur-
gent delivery is not required, and a
sharp cut in rates is the signal for
forward this class of goods so
that it can be laid down overseas at a
total cost.
Charter rates fluctuate much more
freely than line rates because of the
much greater competitive element en-
tcring into the operation of tramp

avail remittance. Other methods ars
also available.
Where remittance II made with the
order the advantage Is with the ship
per. He receives payment for his
goods In advance and the purchaser
must wait, perhaps months, before
receiving his order. and may have to
hold the material for considerable
period, pending sale. On the other
hand. II the buyer has surplus cash on
hand he Is often In q position to Sc
cure the goods he needs ut special
prices.
In the case Of the seller shipping on
open account md awaiting remittance
the burden of the financing falls upon
him, much as II does upon the buyer
when the latter RENTS with order.
| Bank acceptances offer distinct ad.
vnntages both to business men and the
hanks through which they deal
Through the use Of acceptances, trust
companies and banks can finance busi.
ness dealings Of their customers con.
veniently.
Acceptances Of well known financial
institutions will be increasingly sought
as short term investments because OF
the ready market for them. They fur
nish an advantageous opportunity for
the use OF surplus banking funds.
To those engaging In foreign trade
marked advantages are offered. The
difficulty experienced by exporters In
giving credit terms as favorable a.
those given foreign buyers by competi.
tors abroad makes case In point. The
foreign commerce OF the United States
has been hampered by the custom OF
many American exporters to require
payment In cash at New York against
documents. Through the use of bank
acceptances this may be obviated
Credit may be established by the
American exporter by drawing at sixty
or ninety days on New York accept,
ing trust company or bank. and the
acceptance can be discounted Mt an
agreed rate.
The exporter also gains the advan.
tage of receiving immediate payment
of being tied up In credits. Is released
for now business.
A trade acceptance results from
transaction between buyer and seller:
a bankers ncceptances from the grant.
ing of credit by n banker. The buyer
accepts the draft in the case Of the
trade acceptance; the bank in the case
Of the bank acceptance.
The desirability OF drafts drawn on
the foreign buyer direct is not Of the
same grade as that of bank accept.
nnces. In order to secure his goods
the buyer must obtain the essential
documents connected with the sale and
shipment. They must therefore be re-
leased to him when he accepts the
draft and the security Is thereby re.
moved from the control Of the holder.
The risk. in consequence, devOlves
upon the names of the maker and ac-
,eptor. In the case Of foreign nc.
,eptor other than a bank the risk Is
'egarded as too indefinite to make the
PAPER desirable purchase.
The bank acceptance is made securi.
y of the highest class by the standing
md credit of the accepting bank. As
he responsibility lies first with the ac-
eptng bank, there Is no necessity for
lose investigation Of the drawers or
ndorsers. The other parties to the
are secondary If the
anks credit is satisfactory.

And. thus the story goes. believing
firmly that all dishonesty left the
world when Christ flogged the food
profitcers from the Temple, Andy
firmly believed that each one of the
aforesaid so. as he appeared before him
and claimed the coin, had lost, some
where or other, the price of a five
seVenths of a Campbell Russell street
car ride.
And while it could not be possible
that the same man could have lost the
same piece of legal tender good for
one tub of suds, with a lunch on the
'Sue. in the halcyon days of the long
ago, yet it was more than possible that
each man had lost the value of a raise
before the draw in lrnny anti game.
s.. rather than hur, any of his fellow
workers feelings, the Associated Press
operator, genial. trusting and a believ
or in mans honesty to man, would dig
down and produce, as each claimant ap.
peared.
And the story goes that all but three
of the employees of The Ardmoseite
are richer by five cents.
These three overplayed their hands.
You see, the editor, the city editor
and the society editor were too proud to
that they had ever carried
so small piece Of change as a jitney.
so they lost out through trying respect |
lively, to make the finder believe that |
he had found a five, three and a two
dollar bill.
And now the finder of the jtney is |

perficial and vaunted honesty of man.
