EXODUS Of ARDMORE
EAST-SIDER Rs To THE
FIELDS OF COTTON

There is a noticeable exodus among
the colored citizens Of Ardmore's east
side today and it seems that they have
taken the warning Of Chief Chancellor
seriously, the warning which proclaim.
ed that there was either going 10 DE
more work done in the cotton patches
surrounding Ardmore by denizens of
that section who have been getting by
without doing noticeable manual labor
or else they were going to be put on
the rock pile and handed hammer
and told to make little ones out Of big
ones.
Farmers have been in the city in
numbers during the past week to Sc
cure cotton hands, but the dusky men
of the east side either had "a woman in
the white folks yard" or else they had
means Of support not visible to the
naked eye, At any rate farmers We're
unable TO secure cotton pickers and
reported the matter to the police.
Uncle jim" issued a ukase Saturday
and it seems to have soaked in, at any
rate this morning it was reported that
several brunette huskies We're headed
for the cotton patches with cotton sacks
in their hands.
There is one of two alternatives left
open to those who are inclined to com.
bat the work order given by the police
they can either go to the cotton
patches, where they will be paid good
money for their labor, or they will go
on the streets of the city under the
eagle eye Of a boss driver. who will
put the fear of the Lord in their hearts
for nothing per day and beans.
Uncle Jim" states it is up to them to
make the choice and make it quickly.

MANY FAILED TO TURN
OLD MAN TIME BACKWARD
IN HIS 0NRUSHING FLIGHT

This new time, or rather the rever-
sion to real old time played havoc
with plans Of several local business men
this morning who failed to turn back
the clock, according to warning issued
some time ago, and many were down
town long before their neighbors put
in an appearance ready for business
that was forthcoming.
County and city officials got their
chemicals woefuly mixed, They were
on the job as usual but found nothing
for themselves to do until after clocks
proclaimed the pre.usual hour of 5, as
per revision schedule.
Within a week the new order will be
universally recognized and affairs will
progress as usual
In the meantime regulate the clock,

Million More Farms

Fifteen million copies of the farm
schedule have ordered printed by
the Bureau of the Census for use in
gathering the agricultural statistics
of the Nation for the Fourteent b
Decential Census To facilitate the
work of taking the census and pro.
mote accuracy. large numbers of
schedules will be distributed in ad-
vance of the emmerator's visit in
order that the farmer may become
familiar with the questions and be
prepared to furnish promptly the
required data regarding acreage,
tenure. values. live stock. and crops.
The Bureau anticipates that the
coming census will show an in
crease of approximately one million
farms since 1910 when the number
of farms enumerated was 6.361 ,502 ,
valued at more than 40 billions of
dollars.
The enumeration will begin on
January 2, 1920. and it is planned
to complete the gathering of both
population and agricultural figures
by February l.

A committee composed of some
of the business men of Monroe City
have leased a forty acre tract of
land east of town. belonging to Mrs.

raneements with the Field Manager,
j. M. Auld. to put this tract 10 con-
dition providing that twenty (20)
persons are enough interested to
take that number of shares at ten
dollars each.
To prepare the field it will be
necessary to remove the sod from a
space two and one half feet wide
and fifty feet long with cross arms
fifteen feet long, fill in with cindeis
and white wash in order that the
landing may be seen from a con-
siderable height by airmen. We

Wolves Kill Sheep

W. r. Carstsrphen & Son bought
112 head of western ewes about
September 1st. and placed them on
the farm southeast of this city. Ten
days later wolves got among the
sheep and before the flock was
moved % of them had been killed.
The sheep killed were valued at
$3.50. Messrs. Carstarphen traded
the remainder of the sheep to Harry
Omer and W. C Morley for some
mules. The wolves in the vicinity
of the Carstaphen farm are becom-
ing quite a menace to the sheep
and hog industry and some organ
lied effort should be made to ex-
terminate the brutes. They came
right up to the barn at the Carstar-
phen home to get the sheep. Some
time ago wolf ran pig under the
barn at this home, but was prevent
ed from getting it by the timely
arrival of hired man. The farm
ers and the people of this city
should band together and have a
wolf hunt. II not only would be
good sport, but would be great
help to the farmers of this vicinity,
especially should quite a number of
wolves be captured.-Ralls County

Lid to Stay On

The ruling of Attorney General
Palmer that wartime prohibition
cannot be lifted until the peace
treaty has been ratified will come
as a shock to those who had figured
on three months wet spell before
national dryness sets over the land
next January.
There had been rather a general
belief that the lid would be lifted
with the demoblization of the troops,
although the law states that war.
time prohibition should remain in
effect until after the termination Of
the war. Mr.. Palmer holds that
the war will not end until the peace
terms are finally disposed of.
There is slim chance that the
President may differ with the At.
torney General and regard the end
of rehabilitation as sufficient basis
for lifting the ban. 1t is known,
however. that Mr.. Wilson has follow
ed the advice of Mr.. Palmer though
out in his interpretations of the war.
time rider, and the possibility of a
difference at this time is 80 remote
as to be negligible.
With the Senate making interim
nable speeches and wrangling over
scores of amendments to the League
of Nations covenant, the chances of
an early termination of the war"
are not brilliant. Unless action on
the treaty is speeded up there is a
strong probability that wartime
prohibition will be lifted synchron-
ously with the going into effect of
constitutional prohibition.
Congress can, of course, take the
lid off as soon as it wishes to by ap.
propriate legislation

MeADoo THINKS CLEARLY.

Either the people as whole
must finance the Government, eth
er through taxation or bond pur-
chase, or the government must bor-
row from individuals, from banks
or from corporations of large for
tunes. If it does the latter, these
interests hold exactly the same rela-
ton to the Government as the hold
er of first mortgage does to. the
owner of the property and the pay
er of the interest. If, on the other

ENOUGH COAL TO RUN MONTH
Adequate Notice To Be Given II
Curtailment Is Decided Up
on Later.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-There will be
no drastic general curtailment Of
train service in the United States at
the present time, despite the serious
ness Of the coal problem. This an
sRouncement was made last night at
the. conclusion of a meeting attend
ed by Director General of Railroads,
Walker D. Hines, and seven regional
directors of the Railroad Administra-
ton. s
Mr.. Hines, after hearing reports
from the Regional Directors was Of
tn opinion there was sufficient coal
the opinion there was sufficient coal
normal basis for 20 to 80 days, and
that production of bituminous coal
was being increased daily. A freight
embargo wfould be the last measure
to be considered to conserve coal.
That the coal situation is serious
was admitted by those in attendance
at the conference. Further consid-
Grafton of the subject will be given
during the present week by Mr.
Hines, and if any curtailment of
train service is decided upon, it was
stated, ample notice will be given the
public. Coal now in the hands of
the railroads under the order of the
Fuel administration will continue TO
be distributed to public utilities and
other users of coal accordance
with actual necessity.
