One way to defeat profiteering is to quit buying at two prices what you don't need at half a price.

WHAT DO YOU PAY FOR SUGAR NOW? you bought any sugar in Ardmore today? If so, how much per pound did you pay? If you paid more than 15 cents per pound you must have money to throw at the birdsat the profiteer birds, don't you know. Yes; for since The Ardmoreite, this well-known institution of community service, this Rotary-minded newspaper, this Lionhearted organ of the people, printed in this space yesterday afternoon a plain statement of facts as to the sugar profiteering in Ardmore, the price of sugar has taken a most decided slump. In fact, it has gone down, like the celebrated McGinty, t. the bottom of the sea. You can buy sugar in Ardmore now at 15 cents per pound, or even less.

You may call up some grocer who will tell you that he has no sugar to sell. Very well call up some other grocer, and the other grocer in all likelihood will have some sugar to sell you at 15 cents per pound. This is a straight tip, brother and sister. Now, are you goto continue feeding your coin to the profiteer bird-? THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR! HE ARDMOREITE believes that the people of Ardmore should support the Philharmonic Club in its laudable efforts to provide high-class music for local audiences. The ladies of the Philharmonic are not in the business of making money.

They labor aesthetically, not commercially. They strive to make it possible for the people of this community, now nd then, to hear artists of compelling charm and wide recognition, such as Mr. Reed Miller and Mime. Nevada Van der Veer, who will sing Friday night at Convention Hall under the auspices of the Philharmonic Club. It was necessary for the club to give a guarantee of $750 get these noted singers for an evening's entertainment.

would there be any profit, the amount is to be applied on club's piano. But the club is faced with a deficit instead a profit, owing to the booking at a local theater of another ausical attraction, a comic opera or musical comedy, for the same night. We are informed that this booking was made after the Philharmonic Club had booked the artists who are to appear at Convention Hall. We are informed that the theater management gave the Philharmonic ladies assurance that nothing unusual would be booked at the theater for that evening. The booking of a musical comedy for the same date upon which the famous singers are to appear at Convention Hall, members of the Philharmonic Club declare, is going to play havoc with the attendance at the latter place.

The engagement will be wellnigh a tragedy of failure unless the musicloving people of Ardmore, the community-serving people of Ardmore, the fair-minded people of Ardmore patronize the Philharmonic Club entertainment and pass up the competing musical comedy. The Ardmoreite puts the matter up to the people. Do you want high-class music in Ardmore? Do you want fair dealing in Ardmore? Do you want the Philharmonic Club, one of our altogether too few organizations for the aesthetic uplift, to go or. the rocks of financial distress? Do you want Ardmore to be known as a city which ignores singers of national reputation nd of superior ability when they honor us with their presence? Why not think it over before you buy your tickets for Fri night? Muskogee has all organized fight against profiteering. Tams Bixby, editor of the Muskogee Phoenix, is a member of the investigating committee.

The other day that committee saw a woman's gown displayed in a store's window, marked el $125. A few days later, after getting a hint from the committee, the dress was marked down to $75. On investigation the committee learned that the merchant paid the manufacturer $25 for that garment. In re the Harreld vote to seat Socialist Berger of Milwaukee, this footnote: Mr. Harreld of Oklahoma believes that Senator Gore is going to be renominated on the democratic ticket.

Mr. Harreld knows that if renominated Mr. Gore will get virtually all of the socialist vote, unless the republicans nominate a man whom the socialists like. Mr. Harreld, therefore, voted to seat Berger in congress in order that he might make himself solid with the socialist element in Oklahoma.

Mr. Harreld fig- "Birds of a Feather Flock Together" 5 BIRD I rushnell ured it just like this: "If the republicans think that Mr. Gore is going to be renominated, as I know that most of them do, then they will nominate me so that their candidate may divide the socialist vote with the democratic nominee." And of course, at that, Mr. Harreld may be mistaken in his estimate of the character of the republicans in Oklahoma. Only three more days of John and then the cold-water deluge!
