 When you see a man whose wife looks about as attractive to pet as rattlesnake you have to stretch your imagination to the limit to believe their marriage was the cul- imitation of sentimental romance.
 The reason father doesn't like to go out with mother is because the way she keeps her eye on him al- ways cramps his style when he is in an entertaining mood.

The Old Timer Errs.

(American Wholesale Grocers Assn. Bulletin)
 citizen who signs himself "Old Timer" ex- presses delight that Montgomery Ward & Company are coming to Ardmore, and intimates that prices wiI he somewhat lower when the new store comes.
 If "Old Timer" had been really an old timer and had been the firing line, if he had had his shoulder to the wheel and helped toward the build ing of this community he would have different feeling toward the merchants.
 Every progressive step that has been taken by this country has been taken by the merchants. The merchants have helped to build the churches ana the free public schools that "Old Timer" might edu- cate his children. The child that needed meol- cines has had them supplied largely by the mer- chants The sick and those in want have been brought back to health and have been fed largely by the home merchants.
 To speak i'll of them is to sadly be in lack of common gratitude for what they have done and are doing today. They the leaders Of progress
 It is well that "Old Timers should make some reference to prices In the nsinuation that some other town sells at less than his town, he IS but refecting an that few people in every town experience. These people are honest in their belief that greener is the grass just over the hill, but they are positively in error. One mans money is as good as anothers in the markets of the world. Ardmore merchants own their merchandise as cheap ly as do any other merchants in any city of the United States. These home merchants are carry ing on their business with just much economy of operation as others and they are just as honest as others and they selling just as cheap as others.
 Men who are informed who think men who sane, do not take slaps at their home merchants. The thing of town building and home building and school building and business building is as serious life itself and good clean thinking men not walking about the streets condemning the very who carrying the biggest DOT ton of the burdens of the community. These mer- chants have given hundreds of people employ ment they have often carried insurance for their workers and fed them when misfortune came
 If "Old Timer" had thought of the schoolhouse doors that have swung open to some underprivieged child because of home merchants sacrifice and had he known how many sufferers have been given disqualification through the kindness of home merchant, "Od Timer would not have blurted out bndly his prejudice that has not felt the influence of reason.
 Lots of people talk about prices that have not been trained in merchandising and they do not know values.

asELECTING ALAsKNs GOVERNOR"

The Seattle Times discussing the proposition "selecting Alaska's Governor" says;
 No doubt, the proposal that the Governor of Alaska appointed by the President, should be elected by the people Of the North mas strong support there bill to change the method of selecting the executive has been introduced in Congress and while not likely to make progress in the present special ses- sion it will serve to define public sentiment and will prepare the way for definite action by the Federal lawmakers at the next regu- lar session.
 More than half Of Alaskas Governors have been residents of the Territory at the time of their appointment, and they have been of such prominence that their chances of election if candidates had been decided at the polls, would have been unusually fav- orable
 As an instance, the present Governor, George A. Parks was an Alaska resident for years before his appointment. His ability and popularity would be almost certain to insure his succession in office if he were required to seek the suffrage of fellowcti- zens. Other Northern Governors, Sheakley Brady, Hoggatt, Strong and Riggs were prominent and popular prior to assumption Of administrative responsibility
 If Congress should insist Northern residence as 9 necessary qualification for the Governorship there would never be scarcity of worthy candidates. If selection of the Executive were entrusted to the peo- pie, there would be no more danger of regettable mistakes than if appointments continue to be made by the President.
 Popular choice would have the merit of giving effect to the American principles of self-goyernment and home-rule
 With the single mistake that Coy. shealsley WI not resident Alaskan at the time of his appoin ment the Seattle Illness editorial is in accordant with the facts and sound conclusions. Gov Sheakle was PennsylPanian ex-Congressman when he WE named Governor of Alaska. Specially, however, IT Empire reprints the Times comment because of tf deserved endorsement of Coy. Parks It would l a large sized calamity if the people of Alasl were forced to give up Gov Parks for a non-res dent Executive.

The school Of Foreign Service
OF Georgetown University starts
its tenth year with the new
semester which opens on Feb
ruary L. While its previous ex-
istence has brought to IL unusual
success and worldwide prestige.
the school Is looking forward to
. still more brilliant career with
greatly expanded activities be-
cause OF the unique position held
today by the United States In the
various fields of foreign service.
Recent statements made by such
outstanding authorities as Her
bert Hoover, DIR. Julius Klein,
director of the Bureau Of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, and
business experts of note, indicate
that the United States is on the
threshold OF a great expansion in
its foreign trade, shipping and
foreign service activity. A state
ment released several days ago
by the Secretary of Commerce
shows that our export trade for
the year just ended was over
five billions of dollars, giving US
the greatest export trade that we
have ever had with the single ex-
ception of the year 1920, when

face Road by Prison

First test of the new system Of OIL
ing graveled highways may be made
in this county by the state highway
commission and the county commits
sioncrs joining hands In the expert
rnent.
1t is tentatively proposed to try the
new surfacing on the five-mile stretch
Of highway No. 10 from the edge of
the city out by the state prison to
the Fields ranch.
Engineers for the department have
reported that this strip Of road offers
a splendid opportunity to test the
new method. The western end OF the
proposed improvement would touch
the two-mile stretch of tar road out
of the city. The two kinds Of road
%surfacing treatment could then be
studied under virtually the same con-
ditionS.
The work is expected to start as
soon as the highway department and
the county commissioners can agree
on a division Of the cost. The state
wants the county to bear Is per cent
of the cost of the improvement.
The road oiling system which North
Dakota proposes to try has been used
for two years in Idaho. After viewing
the roads in that state, highway COM
missioners decided to try 1t here.
A special type Of road oil is used.
This is spread OF the gravel and the
gravel worked with blade graders
until all particles are thoroughly
coated with oil. The gravel then is
spread on the road and is packed by
traffic passing over it.
