This is the time Of the year
when bargain hunters naturally
come around. and all live merch-
ants offer reduced prices on
goods which are out Of season, in
order to turn their stock and not
have old things lay around and

times out Of a 100 the merchant
could not sell it for So after 10

would not be worth much after
it had been in stock for 10 years,
and then there is the loss Of in

ants realize this fact.

Investigate Before Acting.

Many newspapers have al
ready let out a cry for General
Pershing for our next president.
This may all be we'll, we shall
not say. but let us keep cool and
investigate before acting. Mr..
Pershing is undoubtedly a good
military man. but that is not
saying that he would be the
right man for president of our
country. Are we not apt to be-
come over-zealous and offer
everything to the men who
fought our bate and won the
victory. These men are certain
" entitled to great credit and
We believe in honoring them.
but we must also remember that
right here at home many battles
we're fought and much was sac
rifced for the freedom Of the
world. Quite frequently a man
could pick up a daily and read
an account Of where the wife
and small children left at home,
from man who had enlisted.
were obliged to turn to charita-
BILE organizations for support.
Who was the greatest hero in a
case of that kind, the man at the
front, or the woman and small
children at home? Undoubtedly
there are men who have en-
listed who figured they would
have less burdens at the front
than at home. and furthermore
they would have nice journey
and see the country. Justice to
all. and glory to those who are
entitled to it.

SURVEY OF WOOD P PULP
SITUATION IS PROPOSED
IN NEWS PRINT INTEREST

Washington, Aug. 23.-As n step to-
ward conserving the decreasing supply
of American pulp wood used in the man
ufacture of news print paper, Senator
Watson. republican, of Indian, today in
troduced Il resolution authorizing the
secretary of agriculture to make survey
and preliminary investigation of the
nations available pulp wood timber sup
ply The secretary also would be direc
ed to make recommendations for pulp
wood utilization. The sum of 100000
is asked to carry on the survey and in
vestigation.
Two-thirds of the news print paper
used by American newspapers" Sena-
tor Watson said. in introducing the res
olution, lis imported or is manufac-
tured from wood or pulp imported from
Canada, one third is made in the United
States from wood grown in the United
States. The former proportion is stead
lily increasing, the latter is steadily de-
creasng.
Nearly all of the American news
print manufacturing industry is located
in the northeastern states-half of it
in New York" the senator continued,
but in the Pacific northwest-Wash-
ington, Oregon and part of California
and the inland empire of northwestern
Montana and northern Idaho are great
forests that have been no more than
touched by the few pulp mills in that
section of the country"
The senator told the senate that in
Alaska are enormous areas of forests,
the annual growth of which would sup
ply pulp for half of the news print paper
used in the United States, but no pulp
mills are there.
Senator Watson warned that Ameri-
can newspapers are being more and
more dependent upon foreign sources
for the raw material from which news
print paper is made: the raw materials
are being exhausted in the sections
where the domestic industry is concen-
trated and mills are moving from this
country to Canada. while at the time
the United States contains forest
resources in the northwest and in Alas
ka that promise abundant supply for
many years, and indefinitely under prop
er conservation, if the industry can be
built up in these regions.
The Importance of a permanent do
nestle news print industry was empha-
sized by Senator Watson, who recon-
mended that the forest service of the
department of agriculture be encour-
aged in it's work to prevent American
newspapers from becoming totally de-
pendent upon a foreign supply. To
stimulate American production, he said,
the following governmental policy
should be carried out:
An immediate and adequate govern
mental survey of American resources in
this field.
Immediate steps to bring about prac-
tice of forestry and the conservation
of forests in the producing regions,
to the end that the annual inroad upon
the forest will be lessened and eventu-
ally will be no more than equal to the
growth.
Development as soon as practicable
of the industry in the northwest and in
Alaska

CHOCTAW AW-CH|CKASAW
AYME NTS DUE IN
MONTH OF SEPTEMBER

The latest report relative to the per
capita Choctaw. Chickasaw Indian pay
ments is to the effect that it will be
made some time during the month of
September, probably about the latter
part, but no report to that effect has
been received by the local office.
1t is reported that Gabe T.. Parker,
superintendent of the five civilized
tribes, had so stated in a personal let
ter to a prominent Choctaw citizen.
Col. S. A. Mills, in charge of the local
office, stated this morning that he was
all ut sea relative to the payment. He
had counted ON it to be made in July,
he said, but since so many delays have
deferred matters he does not know
when the payment will be made.
The money will come in very handy to
the Indian citizens in this locality, many
Of whom require the cash to pay for
harvesting their crops and to defray
other incidental expenses, but it looks
now was if they would receive pay for
their produce before they receive vouch-
ers from Uncle sam.

SWIFT & CO. MANA GER
DECLARES KENYON BILL
WOULD INITIATE PR| ICES

Washington, Aug. 25-Further infla-
ton Of foodstuff prices would result
from the passage of the Kenyon bill
to regulate and license the packing in
dustry, l.. d. H. Weld, manager of the
commercial research department of
Swift & Company. testified today before
the senate agriculture committee.
"The main objection to the bill" Mr.
Weld said, sis in the fact that it was
based upon reports of the Federal trade
commission which are saturated with
glaring inaccuracies and misstatements
This would be serious enough but the
matter does not rest there, because the
bill If passed will further initiate the
already high cost of living.
Elemental facts in the meat business,
Mr.. Weld said. proved the packer profit
on meat transactions was about two
cents on dollar.
1.-The Kenyon bill must either inter
fere with the farmers end Of meat pro-
duction or with the packers part of the
business, if designed to affect the high
cost of living" he said. "If the far.
mer is hit, he will cut down produc
ton, which will bring higher stock
prices. If the packer is hit and his bus
mess crippled, the result will be higher
manufacturing costs, and these too Will
have to be pasesd on"
Mr.. Weld paid his respects to Com
missioner Colver of the trades commits
sion, a previous witness remarking that
many of his statements here We're ex-
aggerated and inaccurate" Swith &
Company owned no retail stores in Eng
land, Mr.. Weld said, and he had been
unable to find that any other American
packer did so.
"Mr. Colver came in here and told you
gentlemen that the five large packers
controlled over IS per cent of the bust
ness in hides" he continued. "They
handle less than so per cent. He told
you the packers handled 700 commodi-
ties. Let me reveal to you some of the
processes by which he reached this fig
ure. He mentioned as separate item,
butterine, oleo and oleomargerine. All
three are the same. He took % cuts
of beef, and listed them as % items.
He gave 115 items as list of by-prod-
ucts of cattle dressing. He mentioned
81 items of sausage. Mr.. COlver made
the flat statement that packers have
not put any new capital into the bust
ness from outside sources since 1904.
Swift & Company alone have added $685.
900 900 new cash capital from sales Of
shares in this country. Some 225 con-
Germs are engaged in interstate business
besides the big packers, and moreover
several hundred concerns do big local
and intrastate business.
IF the Kenyon bill is passed, the
splendid and elaborate service given the
country at large by the big packers
will be interfered with in a way that
will hurt everybody concerned-produc-
ers, packers and consumers"

WORK ON ARDMORE'S
WATER EXTENSION IS
PRO GRESS|NG c RAPIDLY

Work on the water pipe line to con
meet Hickory creek with the city water
pumping plant is progressing rapidly
ana now that the hardest part of the
route has been completed it will not be
many weeks before water will be flow.
ing through the pipe.
The contractors have encountered va.
rious difficulties to cause delay. They
have suffered many breakdowns in ma.
chinery and the weather conditions
made it impossible for days at time
to do any material work.
The remaining section Of the ditch
however, lays through prairie. and
dtching machines will be able to make
rapid progress, the pipe has been laid
practically as fast as the ditch was
ready TO receive it. and the remaining
lengths, after all excavation is finished,
will be laid in a very few days.
A little work on this end of the line
remains to be done in order to connect
the line with the city pumps, but this
will be finished by the time the north
end is done.
Farley Richmond has charge of the
work on the north end and is rushing
it as fast as possible in order that there
Will he no delay when the south end is
finished.
Pete Hill, who has charge of the
checking, says that water will be flow
ing through the mains long before the
people of Ardmore expect it and he
says further that the work is progress
ing very satisfactorily indeed.

GERMAN WRITER CHARGES
AMERICANS WITH TRYING
TO DEPRECLATE THE MARK

Berlin, Aug. 24.-George Muech, fl
nancial writer for the Tageblatt. criti-
cises the United States for failing to
ASSIST Germany financially and asserts
that Americans are even guilty of ma.
chinations to depress the value of the
mark artificially.
Americans are exploiting Germany's
lnApedy situation most selfishly." he de-
|c/ared, by delaying to grant credit
which Germany needs, and depressing
the value of the mark with the intention
of obtaining such German products as
dyes. chemicals and brushes at low
prices. Not without reason" he con-
lcudes, "do the glances of our economic
leaders turn toward the East. 1t is ever
clearer that rescue is to be found there"

The Malmedy district is a small strip
of territory near the southern end of
the boundary between Belgium and
Rhenish Prussia, with its western en-
tremity forming an indentation in the
Belgian province Of Liege. The peace
treaty provided for the renunciation by
Germany Of all rights and title to this
territory as well as to the district of
Eupen, further north along the Prus-
sian. Belgian boundary. The treaty
stipulates that during the six months
after the document comes into force. the
Belgian authorities at Eupen and Nal
medy shall open registers in which the
inhabitants of the territories in question
will be entitled to record in writing a
desire to see the whole or part of them
remain for German sovereignty. The
League of Nations is to review this
public expression of opinion and decide
as to the disposition Of the districts.
The territories Of Malmedy and Eu-
pen were separated from Belgium In
1S14-15 and were assigned to Prussia.
Germany turned the district into
military base and directed various
strategic railways through it. The
peace conference therefore decided that
the area should be returned to Bel
GUM, subject to the wishes of the
population. On August 13, Brussels
dispatch announced the occupation OF
the Malmedy district by Belgian troops
as the first step in the taking over
of the district.
