Income Tax Returns.

Reports from a number Of cities tell
of drops in income tax returns, and
various theories are set up to explain
those drops. Theorists are great in
ventors Of theories. Chronic theorists
love to take simple thing, make a
complex thing Of it and then apply
theories to its solution. If other cities
are like Washington-and they are in
some things outside of beauty and
order-their income tax returns have
dropped because the incomes have
dropped. 1t is so here. Many Of our
people during the flush times of the
war had hard problems to solve in the
matter of income taxes, surtaxes and
excess profits taxes. Many Of them
now have no such problems.

: The Foreign Delegates.

Speculation in the countries invited
to the armament conference about the
men thought to be of conference size
and merit is read with genuine inter
est in this country. Much of it is
cabled to us.
We are warranted in assuming that
the selections will be in keeping with
our selections. Our guests are certain
to pay US such compliment. We
shall appear at the conference table
TO advantage, and, out Of courtesy az
well as out of desire to profit by the
meeting, they will, too.

Congress Comes Back.

With much Of the work for which il
was called in extra session last Apri
still to be performed. the Sixty seventh
Congress (the Senate actually, the
House nominally) meets again today
after approximately a months vaca
ton. Whether or not its course ir
closing shop with the calendar crowd
ed with measures clamoring for speedy
adjustment was a wise one is beside
the point. 1t had, when all is said and
done, already made considerable prog
ress. The Army and Navy appropria
ton bills had been passed. The Knox
Porter resolution, paving the way fol-
the negotiation Of the treaty with Ger
many, had been adopted. An emer
gency tariff bill had been put into eff
feet, and the House had passed both
a permanent tariff measure and tax
reduction bill. The charge Of dawdline
and quitting preferred against it was
decidedly extravagant.
Yet with that fact asserted in its
favor, the returning members Of Con
gress will not fail to note the fact that
the primary tasks for the accomplish
ment Of which it was called last spring
have still to be disposed Of, and that
in addition to these. new matters are
demanding attention. The revision OF
the internal tax schedules and of the
tariff, the ratification of the peace
treaties with the central powers and
the determining of basis for the
funding of the railroads debt to the
government stand out as the four mat
ters Of largest importance.
Whatever other benefits Congress
has derived from its midsummer re
cess, it may safely be assumed that a
true conception of the demands Of the
people back home" and throughout
the nation in general is the greatest
Congress will enter upon its duties
with the memory Of the uncompromis
ing insistence of the average Ameri
can man and woman that steps be
taken to restore prosperity to the
country fresh in mind. Congress
knows that it is to be sternly judged
upon it's record during the balance Of
the session. In the light Of this knowl
edge the difficult tasks before it-and
no Congress has been faced with tasks
Of greater diff1culty-will doubtless be
ably and expeditiously performed. 1t
is not too much to say that the Con
gress as it meets today will be "com.
ing back" in more senses than one.

not be able to deal comprehensively
with the Philippines in the matter OF
the future of the islands without some
knowledge of the latest sentiment in
those two countries on that subject.
To that knowledge Gen. Wood and Mr.,

Secret Diplomacy.

Diplomacy and politics are still far
from laying their cards down before
the public. AS up to the present time
no world decision was ever made at q
public debate, so it cannot be expected
at public conference meeting. Even
the American political leaders are not
in favor of public negotiations. Let
us take for example the national con-
ventions Of the great political parties.
The voters can express their prefer
ence for candidates. the delegates may
have their instructions and adhere to
them to their utmost at public meet
ings, but the decisive factors meet in
secret and choose a candidate VINO

hint about him. Then they appear
with their conclusive facts and only

The mother started other sons out right,
The man Of sea had taught all his

As the years went on all freedom won
The soldier laid down his big guns.
The Mother, old and gray,
Sent her manly son away,
To take the place of him on sea.

After winning many battles for his

the same thing as looking after your
employers interests. Shakespeare
said; ITO thine own self be true; and
it must follow. as the night the day.
Thou canst not then be false TO any
man."
The employers task-the manag-
er's jobs not an easy one. If you
are working for a competent executive
one who steers we'll in stormy wealth
er-one who keeps his crew intact and
the boat steady-then you should 10y
ally back him up in everything he
wants to do and give him 100 per cent
in enthusiasm, energy and service. For
without his keen, wise guiding hand,
there might be no job for you, nor, in
fact any business to guide.

JUDGED BY YOUR CLOTHES.

There is a story to the effect that
J. Pierpont Morgan was once asked by
4 friend what he would do if he were
broke-if he had only five dollars in
the world. And his reply was: 81
would go out and buy silk hat"
There is great deal of business
philosophy in that little anecdote no
matter whether it happens TO be true
story or not.
The moral Of it seems to be: To be
prosperous, it is important that you
first look prosperous.
OF course, the wearing OF good
clothes in itself will not make man
rich. But, all other things being equal,
the well-dressed man will get farther
than the careless and ship-shod one
a man must look his part, just as an
actor must.
Shakespeare gives the young man
excellent advice when he says Cost
ly thy habit as thy purse can buy, but
not expressed in fancy; rich not gaudy
For the apparel oft proclaims the
man"
Ovid says: I'VE are charmed by
neatness Of person; let not thy hair
b. out Of order" Carlyle remarks:
Great is the tailor"
Good clothes improve the morale,
brighten the spirits and increase ones
energy. Prove this TO your own salts
faction. Some evening when you are
all tagged out, go home, bathe and
dress up in your best clothes. You
will feel keyed up with new energy and
spirit

himself more erect than one wearing

Clothes do make the man. If you

Mr.. Sly got red in the face. And

and bit him. So what could he do?
He had to protect himself, didn't he?

REPORT OF WATER
SITUATION IN THIS
. CITY BY ENGINEER
INSPECTION BUREAU

In report dated April 21st,
1921, II. j. Clark, engineer with
the Oklahoma Inspection Bureau,
speaks of the water situation in
ArdmOre as follows:
"The gauge of water obtained
from the flow line from Hickory
Creek indicated 1,400, 900 gallons
per day obtained from this source;
approximately 100000 gallons per
day are used for domestic pur-
poses and the balance is turned
into the city reservoir. Estimate
Of water now in storage in city
reservoir . is 300, ,000, 900 gallons,
which would probably supply the
city for five months without ad-
ditional supply. 1t is very likely.
therefore, that there will be no
serious shortage of water during
the coming dry season, unless un'
usually long extended drouth con-
ditions prevail.
"All of the four high lift pump
ing units have been restored TO
service, repairs and complete over
hauling have been recently COM
pleted. All units are reported TO
be in good condition.
"To date the city has taken no
action toward permanently increas-
ing the reliability of the water
supply, but il is possible that
matter will again be brought up
of providing a dam on Hickory
Creek which will provide ample
storage so that the flow line can
be utilized at all times of the year.
water supply is probably ade-
quate to last over coming dry sea
son with storage being increased
daily. All pumping units are now
in good condition and normal Op-
