ON THE JOB

The last week of the Victory loan
drive was opened yesterday by IL
speakers in the county, while every min
lister in Ardmore urged the purchase
of bonds.
This morning a committee compris
ing 80 leading citizens, mostly represent.
ing the Rotary and Lions Clubs, divided
the business districts into blocks and
residence district into streets and be.
gan Immediately with house to- house
canvass of the entire city. Those who
have paid in their subscriptions, those
who have not subscribed, and those who
are likely to subscribe were placed into
groups and each individual will be
called up to either add to his or her
subscription or to subscribe at once.
Ardmore must raise $3.50, 500, making
a total in Ardmore and Carter county
of S3SG,S00. Reports received indicate
that the county will not receive an
over-subscription outside the Ardmore
district, therefore Ardmore must meet
her quota and if possible oversubscribe,
in order to take care of those in the
county who do not come up to their
quota.
The people must realize that the
government must have this money, and
If we do not subscribe to the bonds,
the government will be forced to raise
the amount by additional taxation"
stated j. K. Pennington, county chair
man. I'VE have a reasonable assur-
ance that these bonds will never sell
below par, in the open market and it
is the safest investmen for the rich
and poor alike. We must do our part,
and we have just this week in which to

up a whirlwind campaign Saturday
which leads the advocates in that coun-
ty to believe the opposition vote can
easily be overcome
Governor Robetrson's speeches in
Custer and Washita counties did a
world of good, and Clinton and Cor
dell roads boosters feel confident OF
the result in those counties. The heavy

be expected from kingfisher. Woods,
Woodward, Ellis. Roger Mills. and

Panhandle for Bonds
Harper and Beaver as well as Texas

building of hard surfaced road through
the Panhandle as equal to securing

opinion that the treaty as it now stands
gave honorable and satisfactory terms
to Belgium and recommended that II
should be signed.
The council unanimouly endorsed NJ.
Hymans' view, but was equally unani-
nous in expressing the opinion that the
attention of the powers should be drawn
TO the financial and economic situa'
ton in Belgium and to the necessity
that the allies assure Belgium of com
plete support looking to her economic
restoration.
The council was further of the opin-
lion that the allies should be asked to
support the initiation of negotiations
with Holland regarding the settlement
of the question of the freedom of the

Oklahoma City, May 5.-The road

would be difficult to estimate. but
survey of the counties Of the state shows
that the pendulum has swung to the
affirmative side and it is only ques-
ton of how many more votes FOR the

headq quarters had figures upon county
votes available yesterday nor today

$batabe counties.

of the fifty-million dollar good roads

eastern half of the state is more than

KEEP COOL AND KEEP WELL
Some Points of Importance to Be Re-
membered When an Epidemic is
Threatening Public Health.

At it's worst any epidemic takes but
a relatively small toll of the popula-
ton, and as rule the majority of
people are resistant to the assaults of
the worst disease germs, including in
f1uenza, If they but take ordinary care
of themselves. This is important.
Whatever medical science may advise
as to prevention or as to treatment,
one simple fact that outweighs every
thing else is that if every individual
will but follow the normal life he has
led, eat those things that are suited to
his system, things he has always eaten
with resulting good health, rest and
sleep as usual and avoid Overfatigue
while carrying on his work, also as
usual, he will escape the pestilence.
There is no excuse for any panic.
Above all, the individual should re-
member that the first and last rule to
follow In this state of things is to keep
cool and keep well. For the man who
will keep cool will keep well, and the
man who keeps well and has all his
faculties about him will keep cool.
