Duties on samples.

Finally the question of duties and
regulations on samples and other means
of publicity Is another annoyance that
stands In the way of a smooth and
rapld expansion OF trade. Regulations
OF samples and advertising matter. with
or without value. are not alike in
scarcely two countries out of the twenty.
Some countries allow the importation
of travellers samples in bond; others
collect duty and refund a part OF 1t II
renorted within n certain time; others
treat them in a different way.
There is no question as TO the right
of each and every country of establish
ing all kinds OF regulations TO suit
themselves, with or without reason.
But they are all naturally interested
In advancing their trade at large and
Inducing the settling OF more people and
their interests in the country. Trade is
the best inducement. and all that helps
trade Is or may be factor in the
inducement.
II may be far fetched to link the
better facilities granted to samples with
any kind Of Improvement to the country.
However. small factors combined with
each other and with other large ones
achieve In the end sometimes what
never could have been expected.
Facilities granted to the importation
and display OF samples may serve to
stimulate competition from other coun-
tries and improve trade In general. New
articles which must be demonstrated
do not succeed II described on paper
alone. New designs may not be well
shown except in fact

think of folks and home and won

away our sky bunkers and several

about four feet of water.

HAYES IS MADE
AN ARCHBISHOP
New York Prelate Con-
sidered Possibility as
Next u. S. Cardinal.

Rome, Feb. 26.-Auxiliary Bishop
Hayes has been appointed Arch
bishop of New York, it was an
nounced today.
p. H. Hayes, who succeeds the
late Cardinal Farley as archbishop
of New York, may now be con-
sidered to be a possibility as the
next American cardinal He was
born in New York City November
20, 1857. He was educated in Man
haitian College. New York; st.
Joseph Seminary. Troy. N. Y;
Catholic University of America,
Washington. and in Rome. He was
ordained in 1892. was appointed
Chancellor of New York in 1903,
and was consecrated auxiliary
bishop October 2S. 1914.
Recognition of War Services.
New York, Feb. 26.-The appoint
ment of Bishop Hayes as archbishop
of New York is regarded by his
friends here as a recognition Of his
services during the war as chaplain
bishop of the United States army and
navy here and abroad.
During the period OF the war Bish-
op Hayes established a military bish-
cpric and organized $40 priests from
all parts of the country, sending them
into service. He had 800 more ready
to send to France when the armistice
was signed.
As he was auxiliary bishop to Car
dinal Farley. and because of his close
association with the cardinal and his
sympathy with the latter's program,
Bishop Hayes has been regarded as
the logical candidate for the arch
bishopric.
Worked on Labor ProbIemA-
His progressive spirit was evidenced
about two weeks ago when, as one
of the committee of four Catholic
priests, he issued an exhaustive re-
port on the industrial conditions In
the United States with recommends
tion for a solution of the labor prob
lens and the adjustment OF wage con-
troversies.
Bishop Hayes has been intensely in
terested in New York affairs and
had for the past twenty-four years
been intimately associated with Car
dinaI Farley. whose program, 1t was
said today by Mgr. Dunno, the
bishop will carry out as Cardinal
Farley would have had he lived.

.ARDMORE TRUCKS ARE
COMPETITORS OF RAIL
ROAD TRAN T|0N

In response TO IA request from ma
tional rubber tire manufacturing CON
Germ inquiry was made last week IN
regard to transportation of merchandise
by truck between Ardmore and towns
and cities in this section. The inquiry
developed that although we are almost
entirely dependent on dirt roads, truck
ing service is growing and developing
rapidly.
A very large percentage of the hand
ling of package freight between Ara
more and the oil fields is done by truck.
A very great saving of time Is ERECTED
as compared to rail service. And II ~
claimed that the cost is no greater than
it would be to ship 10y rail.
Trucks of a capacity from one to three
tons are commonly used in tins tralilc'
They can easily cover the oil fields III
a days trip, handling practically their
maximum load during the entire dis'
tance Travelled. taking on merchandise to
be returned to Ardmore.
one concern reports that frequent
trips with three. ton trucks are made TO
Fort Worth, Wichita Falls and other
points equally distant. These trips are
easily made in two days-one day out
and one day back-carrying practically
the maximum load i'm each direction
The claim is made that it would require
the railroads at least a week to per
form the service that is being performed
by these trucks in two days.
In view of these facts, according TO
Secretary Smith OF the Chamber of com
merce. one may begin to understand Il
few of the possibilities in city develop
ment bv means of hard surfaced roads.
Permanent hardsurfaced roads will do
more to make city of Ardmore' ne
saws. and to develop the resources OF
Carter and surrounding counties thah
any other one thing possible to be dohe
in this age of city development.
