GOVERNOR CALLS
BOYS AND GIRLS
TO GARDEN ARMY

Gov. VIM. d. Stephens has started
a big adventure by calling boys and
girls in California to enlist in Uncle
sans garden army of producers.
The governor appreciates the
states great human resource, the
Boys and girls, and having had a gar
den of his own knows the merits of
the case.
His call is for the enlistment of a
division of 10000 soldiers-Califro-
MAS quota in the United States
School Garden Army.
Enlistment sheets have been put
into the hands of county home gar
den directors appointed by Director
Chas. c. Moore, of the State Council
of Defense, and supplies to teachers
who will encourage the boys and girls
to start home gardens. A. p. Shib-
ley is local director.
Some one has said Give me the
IDLE time of a boy and you may have
the rest" "Is there safer, bet
ter place for boys and girls to spend
their spare time than in gardens at
home?" asks Regional Director Steb-
bins. Influenza has enforced the
closing of schools. Thousands of
children have had idleness thrust up
on them. Where and how are they
spending their time? Let us set them
to work in gardens at home.
What would it mean to put $780,
600 boys and girls into as many
home gardens? Here are answers:
Reduced living expenses to the ex-
tent that part of the spare time of
children may produce home food sup
ply, such as vegetables, poultry and
raise rabbits or pigs.
Benefits to children by giving
chem exercise and interest in such
pursuit and educational contract, with
soil, nature, weather, plants and an
imal life.

= RELIEF IN THE ASSEMBLING OF CONGRESS
(From the Christian Science Monitor)

as to how the government, while return
ing the lines to private ownership,
shall provide for the more adequate
supervision and regulation that is now
quite generally accepted as necessary.
There is difference Of opinion ON TINS
phase of the subject even among the
interests most closely identified with
roads. Shippers and investors do not
see eye to eye with railroad executives;
onc trend of sentiment would seek
solution of the difficulty through estab-
lishment of a new governmental de-
partment, with perhaps a chief in the
presidents cabinet, while another trend
vigorously prefers that the control shall
he federalizcd in the hands of the In
terstate Commerce Commission and de
pendent regional bodies. The untagiing
Of this maze is not the work of an
afternoon ,and it may be, after all, that
the main question will go over until
later. while the extraordinary session
contents itself with providing the funds
that would appear to meet the needs
of the railroad situation for the pres
ent.
Whatever the session does under
these heads, it is to be hoped that 1t
will not overlook any opportunity offer
ing to reduce the burden of taxation,
so far as this can be undertaken with
out jeopadizng any needed govern
ment activity. Taxes are at their loft

and necessaries. have as yet shown no
appreciable dimnution from those OF
the most exciting days of the war.
Without doubt there must be oppoitu-
nifty now for relief. Congress should

OIL MEMS PART IN WAR
TO BE TOLD IN \ BOOK
NOW UNDER PREPARATION

In order to give credit wheer it Is
due, for war service by employees OF OIL
concerns, the latter are requested by
the National Petroleum War Service
Committee TO forward data to that Or
ganiZation in New York. \ complete
list is desired of those who entered
the service and assisted in the great
movement which crushed German au-
tocracy and caused the wouldbe tyrants
to beg for peace in November last.
Men who were wounded in battle and
those who died in the service are to
be- properly listed and conspicuous in
CidetltS of heroism are to be recorded
In addition the committee will embody
in this history the great achievements
of the oil industry as a whole in sup
plying the oil products required by
the United states and associated pow
ers in winning the war. 1t is under
stood that this part of the world is
completed. The facts relating to the
oil country boys who aided in the fight
ing are now being collected.
The publication of this history is
matter of special interest to oil men
everywhere and the book will have
many readers. The National War Ser
vice Committe deserves much credit

ultimate acceptance by reason of the
senate flibuster.
/, is To be hoped that the anticipated
passage of the suffrage amendment
will meet with no obstacle. The JUS
tice of the demand is enough to warrant
prompt and favorable action, but i'm
addition it would seem that all interest
would be well served by having the
matter affrmatively handled and out
Of the way in the early days of the
session. Another great question. which
is similarly TO a notable degree, one
that inyolves moral issue, is that
Of the law to clear up doubtful points
as TO the enforcement of wartime pro-
hlbition, which is to go into effect
throug hout the United States and its
dependencies on July j. 1t will be
only natural if certain forces are dis
covered operating to delay the needed
legislation ON this subject, but without
doubt the nation will watch progress
in this direction with keen interest.
and attention is likely TO be drawn to
the subject early if there is any sign
of its being neglected.
There is no clear idea at this time
as TO what is likely to be done with
the questions involving government
ownership. The postmastergenera has
allowed it TO be inferred that the wire
systems would probably be turned back
TO their private owners after certain
legislation has been provided, presum
ably of a nature TO safeguard the
weaker lines from competition. and per-
haps TO insure maintenance of service
in territory where density of popuia-
ton is not sufficient to allow service
TO be maintained profitably. II ap-
pears that there is sentiment in con
Eress, also that viii move in the direc-
tion of having the Wire lines returned.
But whether any definite action can
be taken at this session concerning
the disposal Of the railroads is an open
question. If it We're merely the ques-
ton whether or no the railroads should
be returned to private control, the
answer might be more readily forth
coming; for so far as a guess amounts
TO anything il may be surmised that
general sentiment in and out of con
gress is not yet ready to favor the gov
ernment as owner and operator. What
complicates the matter Is the question

THE CHAUTAUQUA

MAGIC resides in that word Chautauqua'
lNl Are you going to the Chautauqua! IS
a question being asked now in more than
five thousand communities in America. The
number Of local Chautauquas, it is stated in
current magazine article, has passed the hVe-
thousand mark
Do YOU know what that means? 1t means
that amusement, entertainment, upl1t, edlhca-
ton, recreation are being brought home TO the
people of these five thousand communities. IL
means that millions of American men, women
and children are privileged to see and near
able lecturers and orators, expert entertain
crs, popular and classical music-and all Tor
the price of admission to half dozen ordinary
moving picture shows. 1t means that splrltual
eXharation, mental development, aesthetic
delight are supplied as community assets where
otherwise they would be missing,
Ardmore is going to have Chautauqua
this year 1t cannot be doubted that thousands
of our home people and those living nelgnDorS
to Ardmore were thrilled with joyous antlcpa-
ton when they read that announcement two
DAYS ago on the first page of The Ardmoreite.
Many of them already have acquired the Chau-
tauqua habit which is good habit for any
body to acquire. Many others who have not
acquired the habit heretofore for lack Of op-
portunty, or perhaps because of failure to
see the opportunity, are going to get The habit
this year.
Every person already an addict to Chau-
tauquaism has another opportunity noW-to
become a crusader for the Chautauqua, to tell
his or her friends about it, to present the bene-
fits of the Chautauqua and to urge attendance
upon the big week of big entertainments
which opens at Convention HALL the afternoon
Of June 8.
Ardmore is peculiarly fortunate in posses
sing this splendid municipal auditorium. 1t IS
a community asset which is not so thoroughly
appreciated as it might be. In most OF the
towns and cities where Chautaquas are held,
there is no such public hall, and the huge and
awkward travelling tent must be used. In Ard
more we have a superior advantage over the
average community because we possess Con-
vention Hall for such enterprises as the Chau-
tauqua.
The Ardmoreite is strong for the Chautau-
qua We know something of what it has done,
is doing and is going to do for the community
good here and elsewhere The Chautauqua
lifts you out Of the rut, it sweeps the cobWebs
from your brain, it garlands your soul with
grace, it gives your weary heart a joy-rlde
which you remember with pleasure throughout
The year.
No man, no woman, no child can attend
the sessions of a Chautauqua course with such
program as the one prepared for Ardmore
without being benefited in so many ways that
space forbids any attempt to print the list.
Say, are you going to the Chautauqua?

OLDTIME BREAD

WONT YOU be glad when the price of bread
w gets back to something like the oldtlme
price? We have the promise of those
in the know" that bread is going to be lower
in price shortly That promise may not mean
much to the wealthy, nor to the moderately
well-to-do but it means very much mdeed 10
the great majority Of citizens one thlhg II
means is that children will get more to eat, not
only more bread, but more meat and other
nourishing foods; for when the price of bread
is cut down to something like normal the
family will be able to put more money into
other foods which nowadays and for many
months past have been rather scarce on most
of the tables.
Those were good old days when you could
go to the baker and buy a big fat loaf of bread
for a nickel. We have been pining for the re-
turn of such days-all Of us; and while we
have not as yet the assurance of the oldtlme
nickel loaf we have the promise of consider
able cut in the price. That signifies more than
lower-price loaves at the bakers or a saving
on flour purchased for bread-making at home.
Maybe also children-maybe also that de-
hcious oldtime doughnut will come back,the
one with the little round hold in the center
and likewise the rruller of the same material
You haven't seen much Of the cruler or the
doughnut lately, have you? And if you have,
why, children, there hasn't been hardly
enough Of it to go around, as you know.
And maybe also the lower price Of bread
or of the products out of which bread is made
will mean that you can have more hot pan
cakes at your house for breakfast, or now and
then some Of that delicious coffeecake that
mother used to make when the ingredients
didn't come 50 high as to be prohibitive.
It's a-going to be a pretty good old world
again when the price of bread goes down to
something like what it used to be, in the good
old days before the Huns upset all human cal
culations through their selfish greed and
caused the staff of life to become too rich for
the blood of most of us

settle the prelimmaries of their lesisla-
tive program. Both republicans and
democrats welcome the date of assem-
bly, in extraordinary session as earlier
than had generally been expected but
the advance Of the date Is taken To
mean that the president has sacrificed
his wish to be present at the opening
in favor OF speedier action on those i'm
portant bills in default of which Ger
tain Of the government departments
are feeling considerable embarrassment.
So far as the country at large is con-

relief that congress is AT length taking
up the matters that have 50 urgently

While the treaty of peace which in
wolves the League of Nations plan,
