Door OF Hope rltssion.

The good work of the Door of
Hope mission goes on every night.
Our work is not confined to Ard
more alone, but people coming to
Ardmore to trade are attracted by
the big tent on Broadway and
whole families come to hear the
gospel preached and return home
better than they came. Many at
tend our meetings who have not
been to church for ten years and
are made to rejoice by the meeting.
| am sure if the pastors of the diff
ferent churches really knew how
much good they could do here
they would attend every meeting.
There will be preaching tonight
by Rev. Weith of the Presbyterian
church and all are invited to come
and hear this divine preach.
Preaching at $50 tonight.
S. WILEY, in charge.

Now Is the Time .

This is the season for planting
potatoes for the second crop.
There are few farm products which
find as ready and continuous mar
ket as do potatoes. Next to wheat
and other food cereals potatoes are
the most important food product
and find ready sale at all seasons.
seasons.
The farmer who is progressive
and gives any thought to diversifi-
cation will not allow this season to
pass without planting a good sized
tract in the best seed potatoes for
his second crop.
The season this year is peculiarly
favorable to this crop, the ground
being in fine condition and with
moisture enough in it to enable the
hardy tubers to flourish through
the dry weeks that are likely to
follow.
This is crop that requires COM
paratively little attention in a good
season like this to make it produce
fairly we'll. The main thing is the
selection of a seed variety that
has been approved by fair test in
this climate and Dame Nature will
do the rest.
