Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Gentlemen
Ny attention has been called to an
article published in your paper on May
sth. relative TO delay in approval OF
samples of gravel.
| am unable to determine the source
OF the information which you received,
but | wish to state that several samples
of gravel We're submitted 10 this de
partment by the contractor and in the
majority of cases these samples were
tested within as hours after receipt and
we have advised the contractor that
with one exception the samples of
gravel were satisfactory for use and
instructed him 10 proceed with the
work.
| One sample which was submitted
| proved TO be unsatisfactory for use
and an inspection of the pit from which
II was proposed 10 furnish this gravel
also indicated that suitable gravel
could not be obtained from this source
With regard 10 sample Of decom
posed granite submitted by the con
tractor, ] have advised the contractor
that this material was satisfactory az
far as the highway department wa
concerned. but its use would necessl
tate the approval of the bureau Of pub
lie roads and Immediately after receip
OF this sample, ! submitted request
to the bureau of public roads for ap
proval of the change from grave
surface to decomposed granite sur
face, as such approval Is required be
fore q change OF this kind can be made
To date, we have not received the ap
proval of the bureau of public road

COOPERATION

In discussing today the thltu
plank in its platform for Carter
County and Ardmore, that of bet
ter cooperation between the city
and the rest OF the county, the
.Ardmoreite feels that it is directing
thought along a line that can be
most beneficial to all concerned.
Cooperation between the city and
county outlying is largely selfish,
after all. It's a matter of you
scratching my back and I'll scratch
yours" Neither the county as a
whole nor the city as city can
reach that full measure OF growth
and progress without the help OF
the other.
So often one hears man living
in the country or in some town
other than Ardmore, deriding the
county site, creating prejudice and
otherwise undermining relations,
when ne is literally hurting his own
welfare. And likewise the Ard
more citizens who disdains to re-
member the rest OF the county
above all others is refusing aid to
himself,
Cooperation between the city and
county should be along, economic,
social, scholastic, political and moral
lines. In practically every line Of
endeayor the city and county at
large have common ground. In
many instances their interests are
identical, Ii the Ardmoreite could
do nothing else in this common
wealth except create wholehearted
cooperation it would be doing a
commendable service, we believe.
Any individual who does his part
TO this end is worthy OF the name,
citizen.
Ardmore hasn't done enough for
the farmers, stockmen and neigh
boring towns This almost goes

the most part We 90 our way and

The economic angle OF the situa-
ton is perhaps one OF the most i'm
portan,. II every farmer or rura
citizen realized that every time h,

Socially the only line that shoul
be maintained is that OF decenc
and morality. Some in Carte

flee is from Ardmore that the rest
OF the county is against him-or

ernment are certainly mutual ones.
Ardmore should turn in and sup

BURYING MISTAKES

Picture a funeral passing your
house with $4,000 hearses, each
hearse containing an American
business firm.
That gives you an accurate idea
Of the number OF business failures
since prices began to tumble in
May, 1920.
But all is not gloom.
Standing thoughtfully on the
curbstones, watching their deceased
brethren going to Dun & Brad
streets cemetery, are nearly 2,000,-
600 business organizations that have
weathered the storm without sink
ing.
In two years of very severe de-
preston, only one business i'll each
S3 has failed.
In a flash this illustrates the
great underlying strength OF our
business organization, the Gibraltar
that cannot be toppled by any
storm.
As usual, OF course, attention
centers on the ships that sink.
Ships that weather the storm are
ignored. Thus the financial ocean,
like the Seven Seas, gets worse
reputation than it really deserves.
In May, only 1860 failures. Many
will snort and wonder why the

serving this, young blood desires
to put to sea-to try its hand. So,
in May, 854 new companies were
incorporated in the principal states,
with capital OF 100000 or more
apiece. Thousands of smaller ones
also ventured forth. They are thd
rowboats.
How much did they fail for?
That is the important question.
Failures, during the depression
that now is nearing its end, have
had total liabilities or debts at a
rate OF about S600,000,00O a year.
Assets have averaged enough to

Would you Mr. Citizen, stand for
taking this right away and for our
government failing to protect any

Freedom for man to Join union
