The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1919-08-14

James Stillman, the well-known
New York banker, recognized as
an authority on financial and eco
nomic questions, attributes the
present reign Of high prices pri-
marily to the shortage Of neeessi-
ties caused by the destruction
wrought by war. If this view is
correct, we can hope for no sub
stantial relief until the produc-
ton Of necessities is increased
commensurately with demand. 1t
is true that profiteers all along
The line may and should be curbed
that reductions in prices Of some
foodsluffs may be effected by go
ing after the hoarders but when
all Of this is done, prices will still
remain at high level until fun
economic conditions uh-
dergo a change and that will not
be soon

you will read carefully the adj
vertisements in your home paper
and in papers published in other
cities yet can readily get a line
on the situation. Such oompa9i-
sons, particularly in regard to.
meats and groceries, are easily
made and the consumer owes it
both to himself and to his home
merchant to make them.

immediate and affirmative protec-

those who are making abnormal

fectly clear that President Will

and that every profiteer in what
soever walk Of life be required to
content himself with reasonable
profits Conditions are too alb
normal and the lead Of the citi-
zen is too heavy at this particular
time to withstand the fabulous
profits that are being snatched
from both producer and consumer

"The people demand that con

FEDERAL AID FOR HIGHWAYS
Under Terms of Act Secretary of Asrt
culture May Deal With State
Highway Department

Much misunderstanding seems to
prevail as TO the means by which fed
eral aid in road building under the
federal aid road act of 1916 may be
obtained, says a recent publication or
the United States department of agri-
culture.
"Many county officials and private
citizens" says the publication, Sub
nit to the department of agriculture
inquiries or applications looking to the
obtaining of federal aid for local high
way. To these inquiries and applica-
lions the answer is invariably made
that under the terms Of the federal
act itself the secretary of agriculture
may deal only with the state highway
department of roads. Responsibility
for repair Of roads upon which fed
eral aid is to be expended rests with
the state highway department"

LANDS PAST GLoRlES REVIVED
Mesopotamia, Under British Rule, 6ids
Fair to Again Become Granary
of World.

In spite of war conditions this
years harvest in Mesopotamia is ex-
pected to be the greatest in many
years. The British are reported to
have dug out more than 100 canals
formerly used for irrigation pur-
poses in connection with the river
Euphrates, but disused for many
years. Some 100000 acres have been
brought afresh under cultivation.
Since the British occupation Bag
dad is full of life; construction work
is being carried on early and late
and thousands of workmen are re-
paving the streets and installing
electric light and sanitation. A fire
brigade and police force have been
organized. The supply of pure wa
ter is assured, the water pipes being
constantly extended. Many other,
improvements have been inaugu-
rated.
And so ancient ruins blossom
forth most modernly.

FOR GOOD SPRING HIGHWAYS
One Big Item in Preparedness Pc
gram Is to Clean Outside bitches
During Autumn.

Winter weathering may be great fol
the farmers fields, but RS hard OF
the road.
The best way to prevent extrem,
weathering Of the road is to clean oul
the side bitches before freezing wealth
er sets in and to keep the road sur
face in condition so that it will freeze
up in well-dragged condition.
Cleaning the side bitches will allow
the water to run Off and avoid tn,
possibility of the road freezing in s
saturated condition. Dragging tn,
road to a smooth surface will elm
mate possible water pockets and al
low the water to escape in the side
bitches.
