FEDERAL AID FOR
LONE GROVE AND
HEALDT0N ROAD IS
AN ASSURED FACT
GOVERNMENT AND STATE OFF,
GALS APPROVE REPORT ON
TRAFFIC FOR GRAVEL
CONSTRUCTION

As sooI as several minor details in
the negotiations between the con-
Tractors and the officials In charge
sre completed worl, on the gravel road
between Healdton and Lone Grove will
begin.
The government and state officials
have approved the requests of the
county commissioners that the road
be built of gravel with state and
federal aid. 1t was proved by actual
three-day count that the traffic over
the road. when travel is at its height
does not exceed more than $50 We
hicles per day and for that reason
the federal aid is forthcoming.
Prior to the latest census taking
on the road the government Off
cials had claimed ii had been in
formed that the traffic on the road
was 1900 vehicles daily. and for that
reason had withheld federal aid. The
maximum amount of traffic permis-
sible for gravel road to be built with
government aid is COO vehicles per
day.
Baker and Ellis are the contrac-
tors who presented the lowest bid
for the work. The firm is composed
of C. c. Baker OF Hutchinson. Kan,
and Tom Ellis, we'll nown resident
of this city.
II is gratifying 10 note that local
teams and labor will be employed on
the work, and local gravel as well
as gravel from other points, will
be used In construction or the road.

GERMANY SHOULD
PAY FOR WANTON
DAMAGE, BRITISH
PREMIER AFFRMS
AND SHE SHOULD NOT BE PER.
MITTED TO UNLOAD CHEAP
GOODS AS SETTLEMENT OF
WAR DEBTS

Birmingham, England, Feb. g.
Premier Lloyd George in speech to-
day dealing with the recent meeting
Of the allied supreme council said
that before the last election he laid
1t down that Germany was morally
bound to pay for the wanton damage
she had inflicted, but that one could
only get from q debtor what he was
capable of paying. He asserted, in
this connection, that Germany must
not be allowed to pay in that way
that would injure the country re-
ceiving payment--by cheap goods, for
example.
Mr.. Lloyd George pointed out that
Germany, being temporarily bankrupt,
represented battling difficulty to
experts when it came to the ques-
ton Of her paying outside her OWL.
frontiers.
With all these difficulties in mind,
he said, the allies had reached certain
conclusions last week, and had pre-
sented a bill which was framed on
the basis of German prosperity.
DIR. Simons, German foreign minis
ter ana statesman, had said that he
meant to carry out Germany's obliga-
tionsN If ne possibly could, continued
the premier.
IF the German people got their
minds off the war and onto peace,
they would soon become prosperous"
the premier predicted
The burden imposed upon Ger
many by the allied council, he said,
was not extravagant. For the first
lime in years the premier declared,
1t was not equal to the pensions bills
OF England and France.
DR.. Simons had the right TO pre-
sent alternative proposals Mr.. Lloyd
George conceded, but if these propo-.
sails represented n mere attempt to
avoid payment the allies would not
tolerate them. 'At Spa," he said,
"he had an uneasy feeling that be-
hind Simms were the men of 1914.
The assumption of power by the pro-
vokers Of the war could not be per-
mitted. The sword must be shcathed
for all time, he declared. Nothing
would harden the allied peoples against
Germany more than the finding that
she was still animated by the idea
of treating treaties as they treated
those OF 50 or co years ago--as scraps
of paper"
The premier declared that Ger
many must fulfill her obligations as
to disarmament. She still had too
much war materials and too many
men trained in arms banded together
In irregular combinations. France had
been terribly ravished and had the
right to say that she could not take
the risk OF similar things occurring
again, he asserted.

SECRETARY G. OF c. INVITES U.s.
ERS OF GAS TO MEETING
WHERE MATTERS CAN BE
THRESHED OUT

The price now charged for gas in
The city by the Consumers Light and
Power Company has been the cause
of quite a lot of controversy among
users who have received their bill for
the month OF January. and the Sec
retary of the Chamber OF Commerce
has received many communications
from citizens who want to know what
the Chamber of Commerce Is going
to do about it if anything.
To this James Barron, secretary,
made the following statement Satur-
day at the same time inviting the cit
liens to attend the regular weekly
luncheon that will be held Friday
noon, there to express themselves as
to the procedure of future action.
Mr.. Barrons' statement follows:
There has been a great deal Of
talk on the street regarding the pres
ent price of gas and the supreme court
decision a few days ago, reducing the
price of gas in cities in the northern
part Of Oklahoma The supreme court
simply rendered n decision that the
arbitrary raise of the price of gas in
these towns by the corporation commits
sion was Illegal. due to the fact
that before such raise could be made
each one Of these towns was entitled
TO n hearing locally, at which time
both sides of the facts of the case
should be presented and determined.
"A hearing of the corporation COM
mittee was held in Ardmore last fall.
at which time both sides We're repre-
sented. There. were n few protests
against the price-which price has
since been put into effect-at that
time, burt these protests were with
drawn when the gas company agreed
to furnish plenty of gas.
"If the mater Is taken up at all,
1t must be by asking the corporation
commission for another hearing at
this time.
"The directors of the Chamber of
Commerce will hold their weekly
luncheon. Friday, February II, in the
large dining room Of the Chamber
Of Commerce. You are invited TO at
tend the meeting. II YOU wish 10 at
tend the luncheon. call the Chamber
of Commerce and notify them that
you will be present. If you do no,
care to be there during the whole
luncheon hour, the hearing will be
from one TO two.
"lf there is sufficient demand by
The citizens for the new hearing by
the Chamber of Commerce commit
tee will be appointed at that time to
represent the Chamber of Commerce
and. the citizens Of Ardmore."

such as orderlies. bookkeepers, stem

Nurses here do not demand an
eight-hour day. Very often they
spend twenty-four hours a day on
their cases. Their charges are not
at all exorbitant, in my opinion,
and they work hard and faithfully
to earn their pay. Student nurses
are very poorly rewarded. They are
paid about ss or SO a month--not
three years"
DR.. Bastian said any increases IN
rates for private rooms in hospitals
are due mostly 20 high overhead
costs caused by other expenses. and
are very little due TO compensa-
tion paid nurses. He attacked
the conduct of welfare nurs-
ing organizations. declaring the
$4,000 spent annually in the State
for this purpose to be a gross ex-
travagance, saying trained nurses
are employed to give advice and sug-
gestions that practically any intelli-
gent woman could give. and declar-
ing that trained nurses should be
reserved for work on which their
services are necessary.
'Tf there are any great increases
IN rates. they have been made by the
doctors" declared Miss Moran. The
rates charged by nurses in Whining

not permitted TO accept another case
