TIPTONIAN WHO HELPED
BREAK HTNDENBURG LINE

Mr.. John Chapman, son Of Mr..
White Chapman, returned Friday
night from Camp Gordon, where he
received an honorable discharge from
army service.
Young Chapman was severely
wounded in one of the great battles
about st. Quentin on October 8
last, having been shot through the
body by German sniper, with
copper jacketed bullet, and also
through the right arm. He has the
bullet in his possession, and is nat
urally very proud Of it. He was re-
ported as having been killed, and
was for time given up for dead
by his family and friends, but after
a month and half spent in an Eng
lish hospital, was fully restored.
Chapman was with Field Marshal
Haig in some of the bloodiest bat
ties of the war. and has some very
interesting and thrilling experiences
to relate about the breaking Of the
Hindenburg line. It is given to but
few men to go through the ordeal
that this young man has experienced,
and it is an experience Of which not
only himself but the people Of his
county have reason to be proud.

NEW CALENDAR SUGGESTED
FOR USE OF THE WORLD

Paris, Feb. THE peace confer
ence will no, b. permitted to adj
journ until it has reformed the cal
endar, if the French Academy of Sci
ences has its way The question Of
dual dating trough the Georgian
and Justinian calendars and others
anomalies has troubled many gen.
erations of scientists, and it is felt
that this opportunity of settling the
matter for alt/t.me should not be
allowed to pass.
The academy proposes to lay two
plans before the conference. One di-
vides the year into 13 months of %
days and four weeks, accounting for
1854 days and leaving one undated
day every year with two every leap
year.
The other plan is TO divide the year
into four equal quarters composed Of
one month of thirty-one days and
two months If thirty, rounding Off
the year with undated days is in the
first scheme. This plan seems to be
favored.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
MEASURE DEFEATED
Senate Lacks One Vote Of Giving
Measure Necessary Two
Thirds Majority

Lacking only one vote, the suffrage
amendment to the constitution failed
of passage in the Senate today, says
IA Washington dispatch Of Feb, Is. The
vote was Sd to 20. One vote chang
led from the negative to the affirma-
tive would have given the required
two-thirds and insured the submis
sion Of the amendment TO the people.
Twenty-four Democrats and 81 Re-
publicans voted for the amendment
and is Democrats and II Republic
ans against it.
The question now goes to the next
Congress, in which friends of the
amendment claim they will have a
majority in both houses. In The Sen
ate the suffragists will gain three
votes and lose one, as follows: Weeks,
of Massachusetts, Baird, of New Jer-
sey, and Salisbury, Of Delaware, who
voted against the amendment, will
be succeeded by Walsh, Edge and
Ball, respectively who will vote for
it. Pollock, Of South Carolina, who
supported the measure at the urgent
personal request of President Will
son by cablegram from Paris, will be
succeeded by Dial, who is opposed to
it. ~
In the House, where the Repub-
licans will have majority Of 48
votes, it is said that more than two
thirds of the membership will sup
port the amendment,
Senator Hollis, Of New Hampshire,
who has been one of the leaders of
the suffrage forces, made the pre-
diction Immediately following the de-
feat that new resolution comforting
suffrage upon the women will be in
troduced as soon as the next Con-
gress convenes and will be the first
measure passed by the Congress.
Although only "a senators voted
on the amendment today, it still
would have lacked one vote Of pass
ing il all the 95 members had been
present. The way the absentees were
paired makes the vote of the full
Senate So to 33, and ga votes would
he reonirpd.

COMMISSIONERS
GET INCEASE IN. SALARY

A special from Nashville to the
Memphis Scimitar, dated February
IL, states that the fight over Senate
bill No. lis, the corporations tax
bill, ended when the senate refused
to concur in the house amendment
cutting the increase in salaries Of
the members of the railroad commits
sion from $1,000 per year to 5000,
and the house then receded from its
action on the amendment and con-
CURED in the senate's action in leav-
ing the salary increase for the three
members at $1,000 per year. The
house then passed the measure final
" by vote Of Az to Al, thus set
ting the salaries of the chairman Of
the commission at $4,000 and the two
other commissioners at $4,000 per an
mum.

ASKS CONGRESS TO INCREASE
WAR LOAN TO S1O,OOO,O 900, 600


Washington, Feb, TO- - Secretary
Glass today asked Congress to in
crease the amount of Liberty bonds
authorized but unissued to approx
imately S10,000,000,000 and to give
him broad powers to determine the
interest rate and other terms of the
Victory Liberty loan to be floated
late in April, He also sought per-
mission to issue not more than $l0,-
000,000,000 Of treasury notes, matur-
ing within five years, and asked that
the war finance corporation be au-
thorized for one year after the dec
laration of peace to make CONNER
cial loans on exports, to facilitate
foreign trade.
In letter to Chairman Kitchin,
Of the House ways and means COM
mittee, Secretary Glass outlined the
broad policies which the treasury
hopes to follow in dealing with war
loans and other national financial
subjects of the reimbursement period.
The secretary submitted a draft
of a bill which would carry out the
treasury's recommendations. Specif-
ically, this bill would accomplish the
following results:
Raise from S5,O00,00O,000 to $10,-
00,000,000 the authorization for the
Victory Liberty loan, and permit the
treasury to determine what part of
this sum should be sold.
Permit the secretary of the treas
ury to determine interest rates on
bonds maturing within 10 years, or
the next Liberty loan, instead Of linn
iting the rate to four and one-quarter
per cent, as provided in the present
law.
Permit the issue of not more than
$40, 000,000,000 of interest bearing,
non-circulating notes having maturi.
ties from one to five years; these
might be sold along with bonds of the
Victroy Liberty loan.
Authorize the sue Of bonds and
notes payable at a premium.
Exempt war savings certificates
from income surtaxes.
Confer on the secretary of the
treasury authority to determine the
tax exemption in regard to future
issues of the bonds and notes, and
to enlarge tax exemptions Of exist
ing Liberty bonds in the hands of
subscribers for new bonds and notes.
Reopen the privilege of converting
four per cent Liberty bonds into four
and one-quarters; this privilege ex-
pired last November 3.
Create two and one-half per cent
cumulative sinking fund for retire
ment of the war debt.
Eextend the authority Of the war
finance corporation to permit it to
make loans in aid of American COM
merce, supplementing the aid given
BY the treasury on direct loans to all
lied governments, and in a measure
the treasury Of demands for
such loans.

Rim CLING WOULD Be
SEAT OF PROPOSED
CH|CKASAW COUNTY

A. McCrory, Of Ringing, was here
today attending a meeting Of the Ok
lahoma Oil and Auto Supply Company.
Mr.. McCrory states that the Ring
ling people have recently held a meet
ing and begun agitation of the forma-
ton Of a new county which will place
Ringing in the center of the proposed
new area with the prospect that it
will be a county.seat town.
The line coming east as the Ringing
people have proposed will reach as
far as the line separating township
4s-1w and 4s,2w. In other words the
new county will take in both the Heald-
ton and Hewitt oil areas and take
these from Carter. A part of Jeffer
son, Love and stephens will be placed
in the new county and the name Sc
lccted by the Ringing people for the
new county will be "Chickasaw," in
honor of the old Chickasaw Nation or
Of the Chickasaw tribe of Indians.
Mr.. McCrory says his people hope
to have the matter ready to be sub
mittcd TO the voters in the August
primary.
The oil field vote will largely con.
troll the question of the new county
and whether these people would rather
adopt some new town or hold on 10
Ardmore remains to be seen.

SOURMING EELS BY
THOUSANDS WHGGLE
DOWN ITALIAN NECKS

New York, Dec 23--Fulton market
tofly opened New York's Christmas eel
sale to retailers who cater to Italian
yuletide tables. What the staid and
dignified turkey is to American Thanks
giving dinners the restive and wriggley
eel is 10 the festive Christmas season
of the sons and daughters of Italy, and
to meet this annual demand for big,
little, dressed and live eels wholesalers
were ready TO start marketing this
morning, something like 900 pounds
of them.
They command high prices, live ones
ranging from 30 to 40 cents a pound,
according to their wriggling ability, and
dressed ones bringing from 16 to 20
cents. Before the war invaded the eel
market they cost only 20 cents a pound
alive and from to IA cents dressed,
dealers said.
Fresh water eels have the field in
this country virtually to the exclusion
Of the salt water variety. Their weight
averages four or five pounds each. This
is in contrast to the 80 to so pound salt
water Conger cells which hold sway in
Italy But the fresh water cells flavor
is reputed to be richer and "more wrig-
glcy' than the Congers, so matters are
declared even. Some 100000 pounds of
eels are marketed here annually, it is
stated.

ing; sorry but we cannot get it,
Such was the information which
greeted early morning patrons Of many
or the down town restaurants, and
those who have been used to having
their coffee swectened were either
compelled to take it straight or forget
it altogether.
There is Il genuine sugar famine in
Ardmore, if the statement Of hotel men
and restaurant owners is correct. There
are many families who will have to
20 little light on the sweet stuff
this Christmas, in order to make what
little supply they have on hand so as
far as possible.
There is very little information OBJ
tainable as to when the sugar shortage
will be overcome and people allowed to
purchase all they desire, more sugar
was available during the height Of the
war, in Ardmore than there Is today
and very little satisfaction is derived
from wholesalers and retailers when
it comes TO unravclng the mystery.
However. if you order coffee, make
up your mind to take it without sugar,
at least for a few days, until another
shipment is received by the dealers.
