"A subject of direct interest and vital importance to everyone is that of getting
the most for their money." On this score ABT'S has (for over a year) been the
foiemost shopping center for Ladies' furnishings, with our staff of buvors con-
stantly on the alert, diligently searching every source of supply for the newest crea-
tions in woman's wear, and with our quick selling system which eliminates the ne-
cessity of long profits by a larger volume of business; in other words "quick
-iiles and small profits." tlierefore, the newest conceptions are always displayed
with exceedingly moderate prices attached, verifying the fact that the dollar at ABT'S
eater purchasing power.
this, we have added another feature which all the more emphasizes the money saving opportunities
ever possible at ABT'S. As an inducement for you to trade here and for prompt cash payments, you

LEVY FOR YEAR PLACED
ONLY TWO MILLS
No Provision Is Made for Debt Inher-
ited from Previous Adminis-
tration
Oklahoma City.—Instead of fixing
the state levy at the highest legal
rate, 3% mills, or at 3 mills, as had
been generally expected, the state
board of equalization after an all day
session, set the levy at only 2 mills.
At the 2 mill rate, the board esti-
mates, enough money will be raised to
| defray the current expenses of the
I state government for the coming year
and provide for the public schools,
the levy for the former purpose being
■ 1% mills with % of one mill for
school purposes.
Absolutely no provision was made
in the levy for the deficit inherited
from the former years, and the board
will recommend to the legislature that
the question of issuing funding bonds
to take care of this deficiency be leff
to the people of the state for a vote.
The deficiency is nore than $2,000,000.
The legislature at its last session
made an appropriation of $2,537,846
for the fiscal year ending June 30
1912. It was estimated that 20 per-
cent of the taxes would be delinquent,
making it necessary to add to that
amount $507,569 to the appropriation,
making a'total of $3,045,415.20 to be
provided for. Aside from direct tax-
ation, however, the estimated reve-
nues of the state are $722,067.27, leav-
ing a balance of $2,323,353.83 to be
derived from direct taxation.
London.—The Italian flag floats over
Sultana fort at Tripoli which Is occu-
pied by landing parties. Part of the
fleet is anchored in the harbor and the
other warships lie a short distance
from the dismantled fortifications.
Few bodies of Turks nave been found
among the ruins of the forts and ap-
parently no great number of Turks
were killed by the bombardment.
According to a Constantinople re-
port, not yet confirmed. Italian war-
ships bombarded Benghazi and Derna.
Various rumors concerning a naval en-
gagement in Turkish waters, an at-
tack against M.vtilene and the blowing
up of the Italian battleship Cante-di-
j cavour at Tripoli have not been con- j ninsula. The inhabitants of the Tur-

An interesting report is current that | attacks on Mytilene are feared.
While Germany favors the adoption of [ Rome, via the frontier—General
; the Italian ultimatum as the basis of j Spingardi, the minister of war speak-
peace negotiations, Great Britain | ing of the landing of the blue'jackets
proposes that Tripoli shall become a at Tripoli, said:
privileged tributary Turkish villayet
under joint Turco-Italian administra-
tion, thus retaining suzerainty of the
sultan.
The correspondent of the Evening
News at Constantinople telegraphs
that a division of the Italian fleet Is
"This is the first step. It will now
be followed by the army, which is anx-
ious to demonstrate that its organiza-
tion is equal to those of the navy and
will stand comparison with the first-
class powers."
