ARDMORE TODAY.


Three months ago the fire hend swept
With his scOrching breath our town.
And the wOrk.of years in one short hour
Meath his sitting breath went down,
With surging roar from hall to store
He sprang on fiery feet.
And with mad bound he scorned the ground
As he ieapt acrOss.the street.
The track he traversed with ruin was strewn
For hundreds lost their all,
But with Ardmore grit we did not sit
With our toes turned To the wall;
We faced the storm and PheniX like.
Without i sigh or groan,
The tinder box Of the recent past
Is replaced with brick and stone.
The foremost place in the western land
Where but eight years ago,
Twas nothing but wilderness
In the land of Master Lo.
We welcome all. We men of brains.
Skill nerve, cool, jolly iokers.
But save us Lord from grumbling ours.
And the whole tribe of croakers.
THE Chickasaw Nation is famed
as being the garden spot of the In
dian Territoy, distinction just and
merited. Nowhere, nor in any
country where the sun shines,
grass grows, and water runs. are
found all the advantages that cx-
iSt here in the natural resources of
this favored land, the home of the
Chickasaws and 200. 600 white non
citizens. Its soil is adapted to the
profitable cultivation of IA greater
variety of farm products than that
of any within our knowledge, and
its social conditions are in advance
of the times. That it is prosperous
country requires no word of ours to
corrObOrate, the very nature of
things do that. Not an acre of
farming land can be owned by
other than an Indian citizen and
yet in the very face of this appar
emily fatal obstacle it is peOpled
by thrifty and prosperous class
of farmers from every state in the
union. These unparalleled advan-
tages have overcome all obstacles
and have laid the foundations for
many hustling towns and cities
wherein commerce thrives and
prosperity prevails OF these evi-
denceS of civilization ArdmOre
ranks first and foremost, not only
of the ChickaSaw Nation but of
the Indian Territory. It's great :
ness, wonderful growth, and fu-
ture prospects, are fully set forth
elsewhere in this edition, forming a
chapter of magic reading well
worthy of an earnest peIusal. OF
the other towns we shall not speak
for in doing so, in our enthusiasm
for Ardmore we might fail to do
them justice They nearly all
have enterprising papers to extOl
their praises and make known their
advantages. In conclusion we
will say of Ardmore, the pride OF
her people and the wonder of the
Western World, that she stands
with open arms to receive and wei :
come to her ranks energetic man
hood and pure womanhOod cou-
pied with push and progressive
ideas.

ANNIVERSARY EDITION.


The anniversary edition of the
ARDMoREITE is herewith submit
ted for your approval or condem-
nation. We are willing to abide
the result In producing it we
have spared no pains or reasonable
expense. In whatever degree it is
short of completion it was made 50
either by failure of our people to
realize its Importance, or by a
spirit of retrenchment born of the
existing depression in business in
cident to this season of the year.
To those into whose hands this
paper may fall who are strangers
to Ardmore, but seeking informa-
ton regarding this most wonder
full city located in the midst of as
fertile a section of country as ever
grew the staples of commerce, we
wish to say there are many firms
engaged in business in this city
whose names do not appear in its
personal mentions. We will not
attempt to explain the reasons.
they are only best known to the
absentees themselves. In justice
to the city that gives the ARD
MOREITE a home, we will say
there is not a city anywhere better
equipped with substantial business
men, solid banking institutions
and profitable investments in man
ufacturing enterprises than is Ard =
more. We have here two national
banks, capitalized at $50, 900 and
$50, 900 respectively, an oil mill
with capital of $50, 900. asphalt
mines of inexhaustible wealth,
mercantile establishments that
would do credit to IA city of p. 900
people, and blocks of stone and
brick that would grace the thor
oughfareS of the largest cities of
any country. 1t Is surrounded by
a territory of unequaled resources
and draws trade from radius of
sixty miles in all directions. The
/ figures given elsewhere as to traffic
performed by the railroad shows
better than we can portray it the
volume of business. Forty two
thousand bales of cotton bought
from wagons last season form an
important chapter III our CONNER
cial history, more than sixty
thousand bales compressed here
during the same period of time
shows an industrial enterprise. all
things considered, without "A paral
lei. Many of our merchants do
an annual business of from 50. =
600 to 1925, 900. These are few
of the reasons why Ardmore is the
wonder of city building, and that
made it possible to rebuild on its
ashes the foundation for future
and still greater distinction.

A FrRE-REsISTING paint for wood
work has recently been tested in
New York, which seems to possess
rather remarkable properties. 1t is
composed of phosphate Of ammonia
and sulphate of ammonia, with q
variable amount of anhydrous chic
ride of calcium. This compound is
injected into the wood by n vacuum
process apparently similar in gener-
al principles to the creosotipg pro-
cess by which wood is preserved
against decay. The solution is also
used in the manufacture of paint and
as n laundry compound. the Waldorf
hotel employing it in the latter form
to make iire-proof the lace curtains
of that famous establishments. Some
tests made in August were carried
out by building in vacant lot two
irclosed stairways. one OF treated
and the other of untreated wood.
The stairways and the surrounding
walls formed little buildings Il feet
high and 6x9 feet in plan. Each
building had door. closed during
the trials, but no windows. The
sides aud floors were pine boards
nailed to studding and floor joists.
The stairways'were of southern pine,
ash and maple. and were covered
with mating. which. for one OF the
buildings, was treated with the fire
resisting compound. Shavings and
loose boards were placed below the
foot OF each stairway and saturated
with Kerosene oil, as were the STAIR
ways. On lighting the shavings the
building OF untreated wood almost
Immediately burst into flames, while
in the other the fire was confined to
the kindlings. After 20 minutes
only portion of the first structure
remained, while in the second mere

the kindlings had gone. The treated
wood did rot seem to burn, but rath
