I TIE COST OF THE
San Antonio Express.
Seven billion dollars, the cost of
the entrance oTthe United States into
war. is u little beyond the full compre-
hension of the average person. We
itiv not aocustomed to thinking In such
amounts: the ninth tlgure is bad e-
nough, but when it conies to the tenth
weuiv a bit hazy. What i",000,000.•
000 means may Im< stated thus;
Jt is 411,(100,000,000 less than the es-
timated cost to France of the first two
years of the war.
If it, cost as much as a mile to
travel to the sun, you could make the
journey and still have money in your
purse.
It would give each person living in
tlie world today $3.!>0.
It would place in the palm of the
hand of every inhabitant of the allied j
belligerent countries, including Japan
but excluding the United States, $1<>.
Every person in the United States
would receive aproxlmately #70.
Seven billion dollars would buy 374
of the most modern super-dread-
noughts and there would be left sulli-
cient for torpedo boat destroyers.
It would buy more than 340,000 of
the most modern Pullman cars.
It is more than three times the tytal
investment of the telephone companies
of the world.
It is a trifle less than a third of the
entire manufacturing capital of the
United States, according to the last
census.
It would pay the public debt of all
the state*, cities, and counties in the
United States more than twice over.
It is more than eleven times the
total of last year's express charge of
all the companies in tiff' United States.
It is more than four times the total
value of the school property of the
United States.
It is eight times the value of the
wheat crop for 1916, and triple the
value of the corn crop.
Seven billion dollars is approxima-
tely fourteen times the value of either
the automobile or die boot and shoe
industry and four times that of the
packing industry.

ternoon for Chickasha and points in

NEW COURSE OF STUDY
The state department of education
is arranging to rewrite the common
school course of study and has ap-
pointed a committee of seven to han-
dle the work and has asked for the
cooperation of all the county and city-
superintendents of the state.
The committee will hold its first
meeting in the office of the Department
of Education on Saturday, April 28th,
beginning at ten a. m., at which time
it will organize by dividing itself into
sub-committees, and will hold meet-
ings from time to time as may be
found necessary until the course of
study has been completed. It is pur-
posed to have the course of study
completed in time for the teachers to
familiarize themselves with it before
the opening of school in September
and further proposed to have a suffi-
cient number printed to furnish a copy
free to each teacher in the elementary
schools, both rural and city.
Cicero Smith Lumber Co. have a
new supply of hog and poultry fence.
We have the best.
