AND BUSINESS STREETS

Business as usual" and not a
discordant note in Ardmore, about
sizes up the local situation. The
throng of Christmas shoppers that
are filling down town stores and
crowding the sidewalks OF the city
would forever put flight that buga-
boo of hard times with the farmer
and cause one to interrogate. what
d'y mean, hard times"
Merchants of Ardomre are doing
the biggest business in their history,
and everybody seems to have money
to spend with them. there is very lit
tie credit business done. and notwith-
standing the low price that cotton
has been selling for recently the
grower seems TO have money in his
pocket and several surplus bales at
home waiting for the market to take
an upward trend
The express and post office are two
places where it will be interesting to
watch the long line of people await
ing their turn to either send away
or receive Christmas packages

The automobile dealers are not
complaining either, they are selling
more cars this season than ever be-

Senator Lodge touched upon "the
peevish. meaningless objection" that
If the great men OF history had not

would have done all these things" and
continued,
"The might hava beens' have no

''Can we, then, justly place what

The senator sketched briefly the
early struggles of the pilgrims ana

and their fisheries, but with their
minds and with their thoughts. II

their theology or with their forms
of Christian worship. That which
counted then and has counted ever
since, was that they set the spiritual
above the material.
"They never for a moment thought
that life and its mysteries could be
expressed in economic terms, which
seems, If not actually avowed, TO be
the tendency among all classes today.
They set character first. They sought
to give men freedom both in body and
