Hello, is this the Ardmoreite? quer-
led a feminine voice as a weary en-
ploye of the metropolitan daily in the
metropolis OF southern Oklahoma lift
ed the receiver from an oyerworked
telephone.
We'll. can you give me the very
latest returns on Candidate Blanks
race?
My heavensl Isn't that just simp-
Is dreadful l don't see how people
can vote for such a horrid man as
his opponent. And to think he has
done so much for them.
Don't you think so?"
Yes, madam. I'm slightly disap-
pointed myself"
Theophilus Fitz, musical scientist
of Los Angeles, in an address to the
members of the Ardmore Philharmon-
ic Musical society today shocked many
of his hearers when he declared that
II women continue to assert the mas
culine element of their nature, it will
not be long before there will be q
scarcity Of soprano singers and an
over abundance of contraltos.
But take heart! According to one
who has been a party to many conver-
satiens such as the above. voting
has not effected any change in the
dear things, il he can take those who
call for election returns as a fair
sample of voting women.

RETARDS RATIFICATION

Columbus o. Feb. 23.-Declaring
the Republican party will become the
responsibility for Americanizing the
peace treaty, United States Senator
Warren c. Harding, at rally at his
old home town, stated today that he
held President Wilson solely respon-

alone as one man of hundred mil
lion to prevent its final ratification.
Senator Harding Sid that while
Democratic Senators for party rea
sons are supporting the President
and that Southern representatives
are generally lined up behind him 70
LOVING the political plan of the Unit

SCORES
SEC. LEONARD
Says He is Trying to Put the
Merchants in the Perse-
cuted Class
BUY LESS GOODS HE SAYS

Reiterating his opinion that SO
per cent margin of selling price over
purchase price is too much, and that
there are too many merchants in
business to allow any of them to
make reasonable success of their
business, and that people ought to
reduce their purchases in so far as
is possible until there is normal
supply of goods to be sold, Henry A.
Page, fair price commissioner, is
sued statement yesterday dealing
with the efforts of the Department
of Justice to bring down prices.
The statement is as follows:
'Mr. Leonard, secretary of the
Merchants Association, seems to be
pretty busy combating any and all
efforts to make a dent in the high
cost of living. By speeches, news
paper articles and circulars he is
preaching to merchants that they are
being prosecuted. The conclusion
he draws from the enquiry into costs
and margins now being made by the
Department of Justice is that mer-
chants should quickly organize un-
der the folds of the North Carolina
Merchants Association, of which
he is secretary, in order to fight the
activity of the Department of Justice
in the movement to lower the cost
of living. 1t occurs to me that pur-
chasers and consumers generally
throughout the State are entitled to
know the real facts which have been
brought to light. 1t may be that the
great body of consumers may wish
to organize in order to better their
condition, when they are informed.
Merchants Not PrOspering
''Mr. Leonard cites the fact that
merchants generally are mot get
ting rich" as sufficient proof that
there is no profiteering in the
State. He misses the test of fair
dealing entirely, as 1 see it; Are the
retail merchants enerally distrib-
| uting goods to the people at reas-
enable margin over cost? Is the
business of retail distribution exact
| ing for service rendered a larger toll
than is reasonble for the service
rendered to the public?
investigations into condition.
J and practices of the retail trade
made by agents of the department Of
Justice pretty generally Throughout
the State seem to show that generally
! speaking the public is being charged
. much higher sum than the service
is relatively worth, in my opinion.

Cigarette Tobacco is at New Price
Level.
Level.

Washington, d. C, Feb. 20-The
extraordinary European demand for
tobacco other than the cigar types
and the. immensely increased use of
tobacco for cigarettes for cigarettes
during 1919 raised the average farm
price of the composite chewing ,smok
king snuff and export types to Alb
cents on December 1, or greatly
above the price of 21.9 cents for ci-
gar tobacco, experts eff the depart
ment of Agriculture state.
The price of cigar types of tobac-
CO last year always has been above
that of other types, as a whole. CT
gar tobacco last year was lower in
price than it was in either 1918 or
1917, not because TO increased pro-
duction, but because of weaker de-
mand. In commenting on the prices
the department of Agriculture says
the cigar has been overtaken and
passed by the cigarette.
