DETROIT.

Detroit, April 21.-Despite the
coal strike. floods. cold weather and
severe wind storms the forward
march OF business in Michigan is
undated. Orders received within
the last 10 days by automobile
manufacturers have convinced the
heads of the leading companies that
the squirt OF the first three months
of the year will continue well into
midsummer. Records of produc-
ton in many plants have surpass-
ed those for the corresponding pc
Rod of last year and are approach
ing the totals of the banner year,
1920. The month of April this year
will be the greatest April in the
history of the Ford company and
Ford officials say there are good
prospects that the business done
in 1922 will exceed that of any pre-
vious year. A production of 100.-
164 cars is expected from the Ford
factories this month.
The employment report for this
city, issued today gives additional
evidence of increasing industrial
activity. The gain in the total
number of men employed over last
week is $3.50 men. The total en-
ployed, based on the employers
association figures now is 217, 500
compared with 10000 the CORE
spending week last year and 240,-

men are working less than an aver
age of 40 hours a week
ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Ga, April 21.-The brisk
business enjoyed by merchants just
before Easter is being maintained
in anticipation of grand opera
week which commences next Mon
day. Demand for women's apparel
is much better than at this time a
year ago. Stores catering eXclu-
siyely to men have benefited by the
seasonal trade and the warm
weather has brought out more
straw hat wearers than are gen.
orally seen at this season of the
year.
Wholesalers and jobbers, how
ever. still are complaining of the
smallness of orders and the ap-
parent disposition of merchants
throughout the territory tributary
to buy on a hand to mouth basis.
/ Weather has enabled farmers to get
well along with their cotton plant
ing. The condition Of the early
crop is reported to be excellent
with chopping out already under
way. Much of last years crop still
is in the hands CT farmers who are
holding in the hope of better prices.
Unemployment here has been de-
creased through the city wide clean
up campaign and skilled and I'M
skilled labor is in demand in the
building trades.

EDITORIAL
OF THE DAY
CONGRESS

President Harding has called back
to Washington the members of CON
gress. The president realizes the pres
ence OF crisis and none too soon. With
fall of the year almost here and winter
coming. II is certainly time TO do some
thing about the two big strikes. The
coal strike has now been for several
months, and all reserve supplies al
most exhausted. The railroad strike
has been on about month and at times
seems no nearer settlement than il was
a month ago. President Harding has
at least tried to intervene and settle
both strikes, but can not propose any
thing that seems acceptable TO both
sides. The situation is serious and the
president and congress should get down
to serious work until some way or
means is devised to settle the strikes.
Let us hope that no politics will on
either side be played in congress on
this question, but that all will unite In
an honest effort TO solve the question,
before winter is here and thousands
suffer and many perhaps die from star
vation and hunger.-Blackwell tribune

HELP THE FARMERS

Now that the Chamber of Com
merce has appointed an agricultural
committee. the next thing is to find
a job for it.
Ask the farmer, for he is the per-
son to be benefited.
lust at this season of the year,
Mr.. Farmer will answer: A system
whereby the watermelon and can
teloupe crop can be disposed OF
/ profitably.
Such system can be patterned
after the Oklahoma Cotton Grow
ers' association. A simple cooper
ative association can be formed in
the county, with the Chamber OF
Commerce as intermediary, or with
local produce man to handle the
crop.
Conservative estimates place less
than half of the watermelon crop
on the market this year. The re-
mainder was dumped to the chick
ems and hogs. Day after day farm
ers were forced to carry home their
load of melons.
Unless a marketing system OF
some kind is perfected and the
farmer is given assurance OF mar
ket for his crop he will lay down
on the job-then Ardmore will
suffer.
1t is the belief OF The Ardmore'
ite that the agricultural committee
should remedy this and similar pro-
duce situations among the first
problems they handle.

solidated schools. The Ardmoreitc
heartily favors consolidated schools.
We believe that they will eventually
revolutionize the rural school sys-
tenn of the country and that thev
will be the means OF giving rural
communities educational advantages
in keeping with those of the cities
vet in many communities the peo-
pie do not want consolidated
schools and it would be foolhardy
to force them down their throatS.
The ruction raised in the COM
munity in the Fox district Friday
where il was necessary TO go into
court to settle the location of one
of the schools shows clearly that
the consolidated school idea as an
ideal has not yet been fully ac-
cepted in rural communities here
abouts. In the defeat of Mrs. Kate
Gait Zaneis, it has been sug-
gested that many votes cast against
her were aroused by prejudice
along this very line. Mrs. Zaneis,
in her enthusiasm. for consolidated
schools did not consider the politi-
cal expediency underlying.
1t is useless to force something
upon people they do not want. Con-
solidated schools is only one ex-
ample. Examples might be cited
that range from curfew laws to the
league of nations.

REVOLT

Living in the midst of it, few of
us are but dimly aware Of the
seething revolt that is taking place
in the world. Revolutionary tenden-
cies, the breaking away from ira
ditions, the almost daily setting OF
new precedents are lamely attribut-
ed to what we term afterwar hys-
terra. All of it, as matter OF fact,
is the revolution or the evolution
if you please, Of today against the
things OF yesterday.
The political world, the economic,
the moral, the social and the relig-
ious world have felt it and in
marked degrees.
In politics dividing lines have
been obliterated without any COM
junction whatever. Yesterday the
democrats of the land were stand
ing foursquare for states rights,
while the republicans argued We
hemently for centralized govern
ment. Woodrow Wilson came along
and the republicans set up a plea
for government back to the peo-
pie while the democrats went a
step farther than the republicans
ever dared, and cried for a literal
centralized government Today
both parties are finding it hard to
keep apart because of the encroach-
ment of liberal elements who not
only want to centralize the gov
ernment but place it in control OF
many national businesses and in
stitutions.
In the economic world, which
includes commercial and industrial,
we see deliberate and prearranged
warfare upon established systems
Of capital. We find profit-sharing
plans accepted as matter of
course. We find industrial disturb
ances on every hand, revolts against
hours, pay and what not. They are
of such frequent occurrence that
one barely notices them unless per-
chance they effect his own home
and pocket book. Yet the time
has not been far removed since
such affairs were Of marked isola.
tion.
New standards have been erected
in the moral world, from which
the older generation shrinks, yet
which are Of no more than passing
interest to the ever charging young
er classes. Single standards ar,
fighting for ascendancy on the on,
hand while I breaking down o
conventional morals is noticed OF
the other, Women are given to priv
iIeges and familiarites that woul,
have Mortified those OF fifty year
ago-yet they cause bur rippl

Class barriers have been swep
away in the social world. Tradition
al aristocracy and even the aristoc
racy OF wealth no longer impress.
The religious world has felt deep
w this modern revolt. Practical

GUN TOTING"

Steps taken by the American Bar

of Americans of guns, there would
be a noticeable decline OF those lit

moan that
"a treasured one from US is gone,

That never can be filled"
