MORNING PRAYER

Let me to-day do something that shall take
little sadness from the worlds vast store,
And may I be favored make
Of joys too scanty little more.
Let me hurt by any selfish deed
Or thoughtless word, the heart OF foe or friend;
Nor would pass unseeing, worthy need,
Or sin by silence when should defend.
However meager be my worldly wealth
Let give something that shall aid my kind
A word of courage, thought of health,
Dropped as pass for troubled hearts to find
Let tonight look back across the span
Twixt dawn and dark, and to my conscience
Because of some good act to beast
"The world is better that I lived to-day"
The above prayer, written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, was
used by Dr. Olson his address here July 4th He
gests that it 'be the prayer of citizen who really

First Exclusive Shoe Store in
Southern Oklahoma is
Continuing Growth and
Expanding.

Babies have grown into manhood.
Ardmore has sprung from a tiny dot
on the map into one of the leading
cities of Southern Oklahoma, and Ham
ilton Shoe Store has developed from
bare shantyful of merchandise to
one of the largest exclusive shoe stores
in Oklahoma since J. l.. Hamilton came
tc this city 81 years ago.
small infants that came into my
store along in 1895 for their first shoes
are still numbered among my customers
and most OF their children, too W.
II. Prater, partner Of Mr.. Hamilton de.
clared last week while reviewing his
business experience in Carter county,
Mr.. Hamilton and myself started in
the game here in the early part of 1895
by establishing the first exclusive shoe
store in southern Oklahom. Our small
shanty was located on the site now oc-
cupled by the Miller loan office. Al
the time of the fire during our first
year here our store was almost wiped
cut. We hauled our complete stock in
three small wagons"
After the fire the Hamilton and Pra-
ter Shoe Company rebuilt and moved
back into the same location. In 1902
the store moved into the building now
occupied by the City Drug Company
at the corner of Main and Washington
streets. For six or eight years the com.
pany has been in its present site.
When the company first opened in
Ardmore they secured the agency for
the Edwin Clapp shoes for men and
women. Today the company is still sell
ing the brand and has created a re.
markable demand for the products
here, Mr.. Prater said
owing to the fact that we were
the first exclusive shoe company in
Ardmore we We're able TO get all the
leading brands we cared for" Mr. Pra-
ter declared He says the Hamilton
Company is handling the Thayer line
OF boys footwear and the Morrison
shoes for the children and misses. The
company management stated that he
was able to fit any foot in Ardmore
with his present stock.

GOOD ROADS SAVE
HALF of TRUCK POWER
fBv Science Servicel

The highway is an investment, and
the measure of accomplishment is not
the building of mileage but the result
ing reduction in the Gusts of transpor-
tation," says DIR. w. x. HIATT, director
OF the advisory board of highway re-
search of the National Research Coun-
Gil which is cooperating with the II. s.
Bureau of Public Roads and the Quar-
termaster Corps of the Army in an
investigation which it is expected may
lead to great economies in road con-
struction, motor operation, and car de-
sign.
We have in the past confined our
attention too closely to the materials
OF construction. Now, we are alive to
the need of fitting the road to the traf-
nc. The large expense of highway
transportation is nj the expense of
operation rather than in fixed charges
and maintenance of road. Twelve dol
lars are spent on hte vehicle where
one dollar is spent on the road. There
IS room for research on the vehicle If
we are to cut down the transport bill, !"
he emphasized.
Our investigation has already
shown u.s." he continues, "that there
is more than twice as much power re-
quired of the engine when a truck is
travelling over one of the lower types
of road surfacnig than when moving
over one of the higher types.
ut is also probable that great econ
omies might be effected in the design
of motor cars were road grades re-
duced.
"In less than a year, our present
investigation will be completed to COW
err tests with various types of motor
vehicles with the load, tire, and spring
equipment moving at different speeds
over varying kinds of road surfaces.
The amount of gasoline used, the re-
sistence of the road, wind resistance,
and internal engine resistance will be
covered nj the data being collected.
This information will nable the high
way engineer to determine what type
of surface to use for a given volume
of traffic to result in the least total
cost for road and vehicle operation"
The board of which DIR. HIATT is di-
rector scoordinating highway research
work throughout the country and put
ting workers in touch with one an
other so as to save delay and cost of
investigation when completed invest
igations are available from another or

 Now that you have the colored cro- chet cotton in the handkerchief where the three linen threads were originally, you should work a small flower of French knots Cor any other formed at each of the four corners of the handkerchief (formed by the colored threads crossing each other at each corner).
 And the last step is to roll the ex- treme edge of the haidkerchief all around, and whip it (taking stitches 18th of an inch apart) with crochet cotton of the color you have chosen; then go back all around the hand this forms a sort of cross-stitch effect around the edge.

Efficient Housekeeping
 By LAURA A. HERMAN.
HOW TO MAKE A DAINTY, UN-
 HEMSTITCHED HAND
KERCHHE

Now that the Christmas season is over, have been asking myself this question: What is the prettiest handmade Christmas gift I have seen this year?" And have come to the conclusion that the answer is, "One of the dainty, un-hemstitched hand kerchiefs that so many women made as oifts.'' For the benefit of my reader-friends who do not happen to know how these handkerchiefs are made. I am giving the following:
 Directions for Making an Un-Hem- stitched Handkerchief: The first step is to buy sheer Handkerchief linen. This is sold at most shops for about lS2 a yard-but few women wish to buy full yard of it, as one yard makes nine 12-inch handkerchiefs. Some stores sell this linen in strips 12 inches wide and 1 yard 1ong-so that handkerchiefs may be gotten out of it. Again, some will sell a 1Z-lnch square of it for l handker- chief
 If you have bought the linen either by the yard or by the strips that makes handk erchfefs, the next step is to cut it into 12-inch squares. To ches and pull a thread (to know where to cub.
 Now take one of the 12-inch squares and pull four threads out Of the in square inches from the edge. Col pred crochet cotton is run through the open "channel'' which is left by pull ing out this thread. Of course the the channel on a fine needle; but it is better to widen the channel by pull ing out two more threads. close to where you pulled the first one on each of the four sides of the handker- chief.
 If you are careful to leave tn } middle thread, of these three threads which you are to pull. till the last. you can tie your colored crochet cot fore pulling the thread out-then, as you pull it out. that pulls the cotored crochet cotton in.
 Many women, however, tie number 100 sewing cotton to this middle thread and pull that in as a tempor- ary middle thread. then tie the col ored crochet cotton to the end of this
