Named from Anadarko.
Tho Advisory Committee foi tho
Anadarko Retailors' Association met
on Jan. 4th and report Finding as fol-
lows: That as n rule Merchants find it
easier to extend credit tocustomera by
virtue of the Credit Rating System
now in operation than could have been
without tho rating.
That customers do not And fault
with such a mothod sincn it can
work no hardships to an honest opin-
ionotcd debtor.
That legal paper forgers have learn-
od(some of them to their Borrow) that
nn Anadarko Merchant is not a safe
pnrty on which to woik their graft.
That there are now over thrco
thousapd Merchants of Oklahoma in
tho Stato Association many of whom
stnnd in readiness tn givo worthy
customers tho benefit of timo pur-
chase also stand as a decided in-
fluence against nil who practice dis-
honesty. That as a rule customers do and of
right ought to stand-par by dealing
and continuing to deal with these
merchants who tiavo from timo to
timo extended to them credit but
changing for the present to a cash
basis on account of too heavy bal-
ance on tho wrong side of tho Ledger
accounts. (Those bad accounts wero
obtained beforo tho Organization of
the Credit Bureau).
That it is the sense of the Commit-
tee that tho Retailers Association is
doing a good work: that it makes the
chongo in tho affairs of trade to tho
extent at least that tho Good-Pay
customers will net havo to bear tho
extra expenso of tho Bad-Pay's er-
rors. That honest men will get their
just reward and others thoir just de-
merits. That forgers graftors
shop-liftors sharpers robbers and
debt-ovaders will find business block-
ed and dangerous

"I wish" growled a man lately back

During tho lummor season probably
as a compliment to tho hordos of
American who are flinging away gold
for their benefit they present dally
what Is Generally dubbed 'American

"The majority of theso bandmnstors
think 'Dlxlo' Is tho national nlr bo-
cnuue they engely observe It Is tho
only ono which Aniorlcana npplnud.
Tho 'Star-Spangled Ilanner' Is dismal
end lugubrious enough under tho best
of circumstances but to hear the
Scotch bagpipes havo a fling at It la
Indescribable) mlsory. Tho man who
wrote tho 'Columbia' hymn would not
know his own work as performed In
King Edward's domain nnd ovon the
Kontucky Homo' nnd othor negro bal-
lads get n touch botwoon an Irish Jig
nnd n Scotch wall which robs tho
American visitor of any pleasure
which ho might oxporlenco In hearing
songs from homo. It may bo that
British Scotch and Irish guosts on

Only a few years ago tho holrht of
