ARDMORE TRAVELLERS To,
'JOY-R|DE To THE MEET
.OF STATE COUN Gil At
N 'ALESTER ON FRIDAY

About seventy.fve members of the
local council United Commercial
Travellers will leave Ardmore Friday
morning for McAlester, to attend the
annual state council that convenes
there. The local members will travel
by automobile and will be duly and
artistically placarded with Ardmore
banners and penants, so that no one
along the route will mistake where
they are from or what their pilgrim
age means.
The local council has quite a repu-
tation throughout tn state for being
able to accomplish things, and the
brother travellers always listen when
an Ardmoreite arises and begins TO
express his views. 1t may be possible
that an attempt will be made to hold
the next annual convention in this
city. Ardmore got ii once when the
gang went to FL Reno with big
bunch of boosters and a band, but
the war interferred with the meeting
and another attempt will probably
be launched to bring it here in 1921
j. w. Rrueger and DR.. Harlow
We're selecting banners and pennants
for the party yesterday, and they will
have some pretty gaudy labels to dis.
play when they invade the convention
city next Friday.

DID PENROSE AND SIMS

NAVAL WAR A ACTIVITY.

Washington. May Ex-senator Pen.
rose, republican. Pennsylvania, and
not Rear Admiral Sims, originated
the basic charges against the May
Department contained in the admiraps
letter of Jan. Z, Secretary Daniels as.
serted today, before the senate com.
mittee investigating the naval con-
duct of the war.
Mr.. Daniels recalled that the sen.
ator in speech in the senate Aug
ust "a, 1918. declared that procrasti-
nation on the part of the secretary
delayed the termination OF the war at
least months, cost $4,000, 900, 900
and many lives.
The words used by Senator Pen.
rose were almost identical with those
used by Admiral Sims more than a
year later, Mr.. Daniels said.
Either Admiral Sims is q pagiarist
and appropriated his views and
charges from Senator Penrose, or by
the new science of mental telepathy
the views of the senator were com.
municated to Admiral Sims" declared
Mr.. Daniels. "Penrose comes from
Pennsylvania and Sims was appoint.
ed to the naval academy from that
state. Did they collaborate or ex.
change mental telegrams?"
The committee might have saved
thousands of reams Of paper and
hundreds of thousands of words by
investigating Penrose's charges" the
witness said.
Senator Penrose was imposed up.
on by some informant almost as
reckless in his. figures as Admiral
Sims was in his accusation" Mr..
Daniels declared. at is worthy of note

River Keeps Steadily Raising-Out of
Banks in Places
~uas4p

O8UAS III 1oCeo
B. B. Mouck, prominent dsiryman
from west of the city, was in town
this morning and stated that within "
hours, the Mouse river has raised at
his place sixteen inches. It is creep
ing steadily upward and if it goes up
two feet more his farm buildings will
be entirely surrounded by water. It
will have to 60 up 9 feet before it
reaches the floor Of his house. He is
getting ready to move his stock and
some effects out if the river continues
to raise.
In the city of Minot, the river is up
out of its banks in several places, but
no damage has yet been done.
