THE GOVERNMENT has requested, on account of the high
price of everything, that the merchants of the country should
not give any premiums or Free Deals of any kind, as it would
raise the price of merchandise and cause people to hoard, and all
reliable merchants have discontinued all premiums and Free Deals.
Getting something for nothing is the wrong idea. The consumer
has to pay for it. Think of this and trade where you get your mon-
ey's worth. We have a house full of bargains of real merchandise.
When buying these goods you are not paying for a piano, automo-
bile or some other premium that somebody else will get and you
pay for it.

Tip On Gardens
By I HiteJ Press.
Dallas, Texas, Mari 19.—-Free tip
to gardeners. Mrs. George W. Hipwell,
Dallas, has invented the underhouse
garden. She has planted Irish pota-!
toes beneath her home and has found
the results are as good, if not better,
than those obtained under ordinary \
circumstances.
Still Hope For Russia
By I ailed Press.
• Washington, D. C., March 20.
The United States Government holds
firm to the belief that there is yet
hope of arousing Russia against the
Teutons.
"It is a small margin," high offi-
cials say, "but worth hanging onto."
And it may be assured that President
Wilson will continue his efforts to
drive home to the Russian,' America's
friendship to the last.
Confidence in official circles here
has been aroused slightly by the new
tone adopted toward America by the
Russian press since the president's
message to soviet congress.
It appeared likely today that Presi-
dent Wilson would delay his expected
statement on the war situation until
confused events, now in the process
of development, had a chance to as-
sume definite form.
For the moment Japan's proposed
expedition into Siberia is held up by
conflict of opinion as to its necessity,
in her own country and cabinet.
Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. DeBarr visit-
ed the high school Saturday after-
noon and were gratified to find the
interest both the boys and girls were
taking in the knitting.
The first box of surgical dressings
was packed Saturday for shipment
and contained 227 packages 8x4 com-
presses or 5,675 compresses and 26
packages 4x4 wipes or 650 wipes.
A box of knitted garments was
shipped Tuesday to the headquarters
in St. Louis. The box contained 80
•lairs of socks and 10 pairs of wrist-
lets valued at $175.
School children should bring a note
from their parents or teacher before
they can take out yarn for knitting.

Kansas City, Mo., March 20.—An
investigation of Mrs. Rose Pastor
Stokes, address here before the
Woman's Dining Club Saturday night
was reported in progress here today
by a member of the American Pro-
tective league, a volunteer organiza-
tion.
A man, representing himself as a
member of the league, called on mem-
bers of the club, seeking information
as to Mrs. Stokes remarks, which
have caused a split among club mem-
bers and discussion of which drew a
statement from Mrs. Stokes, declar-
ing the government was "for the
profiteers, while I am for the peo-
ple."
Mrs. Stokes last night addressed a
large audience on the steps of the
courthouse at Sedalia after permis-
sion to use the building granted by
the county defense council, was with-
drawn at the last moment.
Maybe New Orleans
New Orleans, La., March 19.—Matt
11 inkle and Dominick Tortorich, fight
promoters, who are partners in the
$150,000 bid for the Willard-Fulton
championship battle, are now busy
figuring on preparing the biggest
fight arena in history of pugilism, if
their record smashing offer i3 accep-
ted. Tortorich already has an arena
which seats over ten thousand fans,
but he and Hinkel have decided to
enlarge this to seat 23,000, if they
stage the battle.
The plan for the first time in ring
history to have thousands of $3 and
$5 seats which will be popular price
ducats when compared with prices at
other heavyweight championship af-
frays. Ringside seats are to sell at $50
and probably $100.

Clara Sued for Divorce
By United Press:
Los Angeles, Calif., March 20.—
Charging desertion, James Young,
cinema director, appeared in court
today, seeking a divorce decree from
Clara Kimball Young, motion picture
actress. Mr. Young was not expected
to contest the action.
The estrangement grew out of "her
passion for flattery and success,"
Young avers. The Youngs were mar-
ried in 1910 and lived together until
1915.
Two dramatic episodes, asid:« from
the present trial, marked their mar-
tial career. Young sued L. J. Senz-
nick, producer, for alienation of his
wife's affections, demanding S100,000.
On the sane day, February 13, 1917,
he attacked Harry Marson of De-
troit, when he found him with Mrs:
Young in front of the Waldorf As-
toria hotel in New York.

Don't fail to see the
great values in Spring
Coats at
MORRISON'S
Norman is full of good banks, safe
and solid as the rocks of Gibraltar. An
earthquake would not shake them.
They are built upon character that is
time-proven and time-locked.
The stars may cease to shed their
glory, the moon may give no light,
and the sun may be darkened, but our
banks will never fail.
But there is another bank more
beautiful than all the rest combined,
that has been born in a <lay. It came
into the world today, born in the
spirit of war to brine neace.
That bank, that cherished bank,
that patriotic bank, that red, white
and blue bank, that stands on the
best corner in town, for people to see
and to know and to learn more about
war and its needs. That Bank with
the golden eagles upon it with out-
stretched wings ready to take their
flight to France and tell the boys in
the trenches that Norman is one hun-
dred percent loyal, and the gifts of
gold will flow through that bank and
be given to them, for their comfort
and protection.
This bank, with the Liberty Bell
upon it, ready to ring loud and clear
around the world telling the nations
of the earth that America stands for
the freedom of men.
This bank with Old Glory unfold-
ing its colors of Red, White and Blue,
tells the passerby that Norman is a
part of America, and without her
loyal ways America would be Icns
perfect. Take off your hat and trend
softly when you pass that bank. It is
an emblem of patriotism, that re-
flects good gifts better than gold. It
is a shrine where all will come and go.
The rich and the poor will sjand side
by side upon a common level and pour
out their good gifts upon the altar of
their country to remember our boys
in France. There is no "bank corner"
in Norman any more. It is all Bank—
the War Stamps Bank and Uncle Sam
is the cashier.
Patronize that bank morning, noon
and night and children yet unborn
will read in history in coming years
about what the people living in Nor-
man today, did in time of war, to
bring peace to them.
