NEW RURAL ROUTE WILL

At last it SENS that everything Is
in smooth running order for rural

our farmer citizens.
The proposed route is to be 50.9
miles and beginning at Ardmore will
extend northwest to Deese, south by
Lone Grove, Brock and Crlner and
back to Ardmore. From information
gathered the route is to be in opera
tion by July 90.
OF course cooperation is the key.

route TO be the success that Uncle
Sam wants it to be all citizens along
this route must do their part, which
will be to establish boxes. sign up
agreements that such a route is de.
sired and that they will have their
mail sent to correct box numbers, etc.
There has been much delay in the
post office and a great deal of com.
plant about service, or lack of it, on
the part of postal clerks by rural pat.
rons of the Ardmore post office This
has been a matter of worry and an.
noyance to the present postmaster
and his office force. but is seemingly
unavoidable owing to the scarcity Of
help and the poorly paid salaries of
postal clerks. But with the estab-
lishment Of this route, and others
later on, Postmaster Hobson hopes to

system that will make for real ser.

ling Company can see no prospect
of general decline in prices in the
near future. He declared that fall
stocks in the staple lines which were
now being purchased were, If any
thing, higher than those for the spring
and summer and appreciably greater
than those fer the fall of 1919.
"In many instances, especially in
tine geSts' and ladies' ready-to-wear
lines, wholesale prices are as high
and even higher than the present
retail price for the same articles" he
stated "a few articles have declined
in price, due to various causes, but
do not see any prospect Of a gen.
eral decline.
AS far as retail prices go, it is
useless to blame the local merchant.
He is being forced to charge his
prices because of what he has to pay
the wholesaler. Our margin of profit
is just the same as it has always
been. In no instance has it been
advarced and in numerous cases it
IS now less than il was before the
ear."
