CHRISTMAS WEEK IN ENGLAND
Time When Scattered Families Are
United and Tender Memories
Are Revived.

REANY and great are the changes
IVA which have occurred in England
since Dickens wrote "a Christmas
Carol" but they have not affected the
national love for the festival and the
determination to preserve unimpaired
the traditional warmth and heartiness
Of its celebration. Christmas week is
still the great week Of the year for
the English people. It is the one week
when scattered families are reunited,
when tender memories and old assO-
Citations are revived, when friend greets
friend with a CHEEKY expansiveness in
striking contrast with the character
istic reserve Of the English nature,
so, undemonstrative to those who do
not know it well, apparently so dis
tant and unsympathetic.
From Wednesday all business will
be suspended, not to be resumed till
Monday morning. The whole nation
will give itself up to good cheer and
good fellowship, and for brief season,
all strife and controversy are hushed,
and peace, charity and concord reign
supreme.

The Christmas tree is rooted deep in love,
It's verdant branches tower far above;
It's fruits are emblems of fairer cline,
It's odors whisper of happier time.
IT'S planted in all lands to spread and grow,
And faith and hope among it's treasures glow,
Till the green Life Tree in our midst shall stand
And earth once more becomes an Eden Land

Pc WERLESS To REPEAL
PRO H|B|TI0N AMENDMENT

Washington, Jan, 19.--State legisla.
lures cannot under the law repeal rati.
fication oC the constitutional prohibi
ton amendment, Wayne Z. Wheeler,
counsel for the anti.saloon league, de.
clared today in statement discussing
recommendation for repeal made to the
lawmakers of New York by the COVER.
norS Of those states
MIR. Wheeler cited the attempt Of
New Jersey and Ohio to Withdraw rati.
fication OF the l4th amendment. Con-
gress refused to accept the repeal and
both states were counted among those
voting afflrmatiyely. Without their
ratification, the amendment lacked suf.
ficient votes to become operative. Chief
Justice Marshall was quoted by Mr..
Wheeler as follows:
The principle is asserted that one
Legislature Is competent to repeal an net
which II former legislature was compc.
tent to pass. The correctness Of this
principle, so far NJ respects general
legislation, can never be controverted.
But IL an act be done under law a
succeeding legislature cannot undo II.
The past cannot be recalled by thc most
absolute power"

Shall tho census now being taken

At meeting Of members of a com

Rotary clubs held nv the Chamber Of
Commerce yesterday afternoon, grave
fears were expressed u,at the count
would fall short.
Five of the nine enumerators work

be finished BY Friday evening of this

less the people generally show a dispo.
sition to help, by having information

In some cases the census takers have
trouble in gaining admittance to homes
and in others difficulty in getting an.

refusing to answer questions or for at.
tempting to avoid the census taker Is
heavy. These people are subjecting
themselves TO grave danger. Census
takers are sworn to divulge absolutely
no Information. There is no reason to
hesitate about answering all questions.
The committee is anxious to help the

What Do You Pay for Sugar Had Kick-Back

The editorial which this paper pub
lishcd yesterday on the question OF
prevailing prices for sugar certainly
had a kick to it and ii whammed back
at us today from every point Of the
compass
In quoting prices that We're paid to
different merchants for sugar no dis
tinction was made between beet sugar
and cane sugar and in that failure to
discriminate between these two kinds
of sugars came the trouble with the
editorial that landed back on the head
of the paper
In the first place no secrets ar'
being held back concerning the cost
of sugar. The merchants are not max
ing any money on handling it and If
it were not for the accommodation
of their customers they would not
handle it at all,
The government has fixed the price
at the mills and that price is high
as compared with what we paid before
the war. Only a small amount can he
sold to each customer and there is 50
much complaint because of the hsn
price that no grocer would handle the
article except FOR the accommodation
If his customers
We have before us a bill Of sugar
sold in Oklahoma City under date Of
January 10, that invoices sugar at
20.G5c.a Il pound. Add TO this the freight
ana drlyage and cost Of handling and
it will IT, seen that merchants are not
getting any profit out of handling
sugar. There is always slight waste
in handling sugar. When it is cX-
posed to the air it loses n part Of its
moisture and some of its weight IS
gone and these losses must be taken
into consideration by any grocer or
the sheriff in time will get his bust
ness.
The writer once worked in n very
busy store and he formed the habit
Of weighing out sugar in the early

Washington, Jan. l3-Mine operat

under which the government has con

this point
Miners representatives put before the
commission their full demands as orig

last November. Acting President Lewis
recited n demand for an increase of six
ty percent in wages, the siX.hour work

the abolition of double shifts and for
the consideration by districts of in.
ternal differences, and defended each

"The living and social conditions OF

he has been compelled to raise his

THIRTEEN MEMBERS OF
VILLAS BAND EXECrTCD

Aqua P1eta, Sonora, Mexico. Jan.
l3.--Word reaching here this morning
through military channels stated that
lS members Of roaming Villa oand
were executed by General Eduardo
Gonzales south Of Tres on Sunday
night.
The leader OF the band, Juan Rodri.
gues, was an officer in the villa army
at the time Francisco Villa was com.
mnnding his army in an attack on
this town in Nov. 1914. Since that
time, he has been operating with Il
small band in both this state and Chi.
huahua. Rodriques was among those
executed, and at one time held com.
mission in the Carranza army.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1920-01-13

he could wait on his trade faster. one
day a customer demanded that his
package be weighed before he pur-
chased it and the clerk found that il
was underweight. He made test OF
the matter and found that sugar lost
in weight and he was forced to discou-
tnuc his practice of weighing out the
commodity in advance Of the pay
ment.
In addition TO the Lill Of sugar from
Oklahoma City there has been placed
before us another bill from Oklahoma
city which places sugar at 11.91o per
pound. This sugar is beet sugar and
any one with any experience in buy
ing knows very quickly which is beet
sugar and which is cane sugar. Add
to the cost Of beet sugar the freight
and cost of handling and it win be
seen that the grocers are not selling
beet sugar too high
These are unusual times. Such
prices never prevailed before and all
the work that has been done by the
courts of the country has not resulted
In lowering prices.
9hc Ardmorcite raised the price or
It's subscriptions. The Oklahoman an
nounced raise yesterday. Paper
costs about five times what it use
20 cost and when a ear comes in there
is shouting in the offices because there
is a scarcity and some papers have
had TO suspend because they could
not get news print.
The Ardmoreite had to raise the
price or 20 out of business. There
was no other alternative and we chose
to raise the price.
The merchant is no more responsible
| for the high price Of commodities than
we are for the high price that prevails
on everything that enters into the
newspaper.
When the price of these materials
are reduced we win not wail day TO
ADJUST our prices and the grocer and
the dry goods merchant and the shoe
merchant will do the same thing.
