New York, N. Y.—Book value of
Ford Motor Company's $2,000,000
stock, according to balance sheets a;
of July 31 last, was $3445 a share,
without any allowance for "(rood will.
Net asset value of the company was
$78,899,225, of which $52,t>98,733 was

The most striking feature of the
balance sheet is that the cash item

$15,000,000 in cash as rebates to pur-
chasers of Ford cars and also continu-
ed its profit-sharing scheme and mini-
mum wage of $5 a day for common
laborers. , , ,
The growth in cash has been re-
markable. From 1912 to 1913 the in-
crease was front $(1,400,101 to $1-5,225,
711, or more than 100 per cent; in
1914 it amounted to $27,411,409, a
gain of $14,215,758, or upward ot 100
ner cent over 1913; and last year the
gain over 1914 was $16,346,882, of
59.5 per cent. Increase of 19 lo over
1912 was $37,388,050, or about 600
per cent. , ,. .
Surplus has also showed big in-
creases. In 1915 it was $59,135 77b,
compared with $48,827,0^2 in 1. 14. n
1913 it was less than one-half as large
and in 1912 about one-fourth as large
1915.

•SOULS IN BONDAGE"
PICTURE
The most powerfully appealing and
morally uplifting story of the year is
embodied in Daniel Carson Goodman s
"Souls in Bondage" in which the Lubln
Manufacturing Company present Miss
Nance O'Neil and a powerful support-
ing company—conceded by press and
public to be one of the greatest emo-,
tional actresses of the present genera-
tion, Nancy O'Neil again proves her,
right to that title by her acting in this
drama of the screen. It is no easy
matter to provide suitable mateiial;
for the proper expression of Miss
O'Neil's manifold talents, but in j
"Souls in Bondage" Dr. Goodman has
furnished her with a vital human
story which Miss O'Neil declares to
be the superior of any feature photo-1
plav in which she has yet appeared.
"Souls in Bondage" has a straight
line story of tremendous heart inter-
est which will make profound impres-;
sion on all who see this wonderful P'c-!
ture. and bv reason of its great hu-
manity which Miss O'Neil so splendid-
ly emphasizes, the story will be bene-
ficial to all, teaching as it does the
great lesson of self sacrifice once
taught by the Man of Galilee.
This great picture will be shown at
the University Theatre tonight and to-1
morrow night, with a matinee tomor-
row at 3:00 p. m.
SOCIALIST CHALLENGE
We, the members of Norman So-1
cialist Local, do hereby challenge thru
George Gilbert Hamilton, of Snyder,
Okla., any representative member 01 j
the Democratic party to refute the:
following before the judging public,
viz: "That the Democratic party,
from the beginning of statehood until 1
the present time, has been guilty ot j
incompetency, inefficiency, and down I
right dishonesty in its administration
of affairs, and its continuance in j
power would be inimical to the best.
interests of the workers of the state. I
Such debate to take place May 29th, j
in Norman with definite time and lo-
cation to be later determined by post-
ers. Now is the time for you Demo-
crats to read your record. Either
nut up or forever hold your peace.

over the result. But it is recognized
that you cannot most always some-,

NEWSPAPER "SUED FOR LIBEL
"What constitutes a libelous state-
Iment in a newspaper?" This question
will be settled at the University of
Oklahoma next Saturday when the
law school will "try a case" in which
a reader of the University Oklahoman
is suing the students in the school of |
journalism for damages he claims to
be entitled to on account of a story
printed in the student newspaper.
The story was written up for the
special purpose of making a libel suit
possible It is one in which the edi-
tor wrote a story about a person
whom he did not think existed, then
found later that the name he used ac-
tually belonged to one of his readers.
Law students will act as counsel foi
' each side, and students will be jurors.

ing of Dressmaking, Maude W Kui
sell, the inventor of the system used I
in these free schools, stated to the
Transcript today: "A great many j
think that all they have to do to learn!
dressmaking is to serve a few months,
with a dressmaker, learning to sew.
This is a great mistake. The pattern,
is the foundation of the dress, and the |
measurements are the foundation ot
the pattern. It depends entirely upon j
your ability in taking measures, cut-1
ting and fitting the pattern for suc-
cess as a dressmaker, and not on your
fine sewing. , , , ..,
"The tailor long since found this
out. The first thing he is taught is \
the value of the pattern. He careful-1
ly drafts a pattern for each garment |
he makes to the exact measure of the
one who is to wear it. Then often a J
plain seamstress will do the sewing. |
Ladies now pay the tailor who cuts |
the dress to liVr measure four or five
times niore than she would the dress-
maker who cuts by no-system, by eye,
or black pattern.
"1 f you wish to be a dressmaker
learn a system of measurements
learn to cut by measure—there is no
other way."
The school employs nothing but ex-
perts. Miss Russell went further to
state that because this is a free school
that a great many would be under the
impression that students would be
brought here to teach. "To this let
me say that we employ expert help in
! the cutting, fitting and sewing room;
| in fact there are none better and but
| few as good. People are accepted into
this school with a guarantee that our
instructors are among the best posted
cutters and dressmakers in America.
They are taught to cut, fit and finish
each and every garment by the meas-
ure of the one who is to wear it.
j Watch out for future announce-
ments; for time and place of the open-
ly ing of the school.
"THAT FRANKLIN SHOW"
"That Franklin Show" closed its
two weeks' engagement in Norman
ton Saturday night, giving "College
j Chums," one of its best and most en-
I tertaining plays.
I The company is a good one; an ex-
cellent one, and composed of ladies
! and gentlemen who made many
friends while here, and will be gladly

11 plays are clean and wholesome, the
i actors and actresses clever and com-
petent, and the management from
| manager to roustabouts, honest anil
lair and square.
The owner, Mr. Franklin, is an
especially clever gentleman, his long
experience in the business making him
especially qualified to know what the
i people want, and give it to them, and,
j withal, he is courteous and pleasant
| with all he comes in contact.
