TONIGHTS RETAILERS' MEETING.
The Retailers' association has been formed and the organ-
ization will be perfected at a meeting to be held in City Hall
tonight. There is not a merchant in this city, big or little, who
can afford to stay out of such an organization. ' Its advantages
to the small retailer, the merchant who does an immense vol-
ume of business, and the middleman are manifold. There is
no argument about that. The merchants in this city who have
seen such organizations at work in other cities and towns in
which they have been located in business, are unanimous in
their decision that it is the most helpful institution which modern
business methods have devised. It is a constructive institution; |
works for the betterment of the individual and the commu-
nity as a whole: throws a safeguard of protection around the
merchant which he could not obtain as an individual; it affords
him the workings of a thoroughly and efficiently organized
corps of experts in their particular lines, those of the retail
mercantile business and its individual problems, the freight
regulation and traffic department, and a department that ;s of
paramount importance to any city, growing or grown, nameh —
publicity. And that at such an insignificant fee that it means
the expenditure of an almost infinitesmal amount of money.
The retailers' association is co-operation epitomized, and co-
operaton. more than any other one factor, makes for success
for the individual and for the community. Every merchant
should be at the meeting tonight.

The latest note from England to this country, in regard to
our complaint against the English blockade, perfectly justifies
the actions of J. Bull. Sure! England claims that it is utterly
impossible for her to search ships at sea. although the are
open to her thousands of vessels. On the other hand, both the
United States government and the British government says that
Germany should search all ships, with her submarines, before
attacking them. And Germany has to operate under the
water, hundreds of miles from her base, with boats scarcely
larger than rowboats. Truly, it is according to whose ox is
gored. This country should be kept free from such crooked
and transparent deals as this most assuredly is.

That cleanup campaign was a good thing while it lasted
but it didn't go far enough. It would really appear that it was
more a part of a political campaign instead of an honest, -well-
intentioned civic movement. Drumright is dressing up every
day. Let the citizens be just as particular about the streets and
alleys as they are about their front yards. A fine building
fronting on Broadway is a thing of community priue. I. the
alley in back of it is impassable because of debris it is a tr.'.ng
of community shame. Or should be.

Meredith Nicholson, the novelist, did not accept the posi-
tion of assistant secretary of war and the place has been offered
to a Maine lawver. No one ever thought of appointing a n .li-
tary man to the position. If Mr. Wilson had thought of it. he
could have appointed a sheep herder or a comic opera singer.

tunitv escape his attention, that's all.

Eight hundred editors or more will visit Drumright on May
14 Do vou realize just what that means? It means that eig..t
hundred" moulders of public opinion will return to their homes
and eight hundred state mediums for disseminating news and
advertising will have something to say about this city. Ana
Drumright has a world of things to show her guests. Ana
editors are extremely intelligent and appreciative souls.
o
The Evening Derrick's news story of recent date in regard
to manv people having seen a human skull and a gun barrel
stickirg out of the southwest sky has been reproduced in score?
of newspapers, and has consequently given this city more noto-
rietv thar. ar.v gusher ever brought in. Again we ™ake tr^
claim that Dnimright's great local newspaper is the best asse.
that this citv has ever had.
o
"Badlv at Sea Over Mexico" reads a headline. We had
long knowr. that the administration was up in the air regarding
the status of our relations with the Chili Pickers and it is no.
at all surprising to find it wal owinj? around m a
wilderment.

The European war is now costing only S490.000.000 per

cost approximately that much to deliver The Evening Derrick

The war department is now attempting to arrange a basis

We don't know what the big chap's
cognomen is but he sure'y, is somt
addition to the ranks of the punching
hags around the training quarters of
the Drumright Athletic club. We
learn that he wears red tights and
weighs 1*0 pounds on the hoof. There
had been a dearth of nr.ater.al for
Walker and Joe Sides : > work over ir.
preparation for Friday night's bout
and when the big boy blew in Pro-
moter Tommy Dixon clasped him to
the front of his sport shirt, speaking
in figurative terms, understand. The
b:g boy allowed as how he was by
way of being the 'best material for a
heavyweight boxer which was run-
ning around the country unclaimed
and he inquired of Tommy did he
need him and would he like to have
the honor of bringing him out. Tom-
my said he would rather bring him
in because Walker had been looking
for something about his build for
- Tie time. The big husky, who con-
fided to several who helped him into
some Tighting togs that he wouldn't
be at all surprised if he got a chance
| at Jess Willard some day. was Turned
over to Walker. Just what Walker
did to him we cannot chronicle in
any detail in these columns. He
gnashed everything except the new-
Tomer's complacency. The old boy
wasn't squelched a bit after being
used as a punching bag for two rounds
and after the afternoon's circus he
hunted up Tommy Dixon again and
asked how chances were to get in
training. "Better start in on road
work." sug-zested Tommy. "We've
got a large quantity of Creek county
spread like a mantle about us and
you can utilize any part of it with
your pedal extremities any time you
wish." The big boy was serious,
however, and made a proposition to
the local promoter that made him
gasp. It appears that all the husky
wanted was $100 expense money for
training and training quarters of his
own. Tommy being allowed the priv-
ilege of matching him with whom-
ever he liked. "Do you inhale it like
soup, or is your arm all punctured?"
incruired the promoter, backing off to
get a good look at Big Hopeful. ' The
best I can hand you. brother, is a free
ticket to the bread line and show up
tomorrow afternoon and maybe Joe
Sides will knock you back into the
shape you were when Walker com-
menced to work on you."
