Mr.. and Mrs. Sutton had just re-

struggled TO free himself, and as he
wrenched one arm loose the revolver

fell TO the ground.
AT the sight of the girl lying mo-

Alderman J. S. Mullen is ambitious
to see Ardmore made made beautiful
by the growth of luxuriant shade
trees and has introduced in the city
council an ordinance requiring that
shade trees be set out on all resi-
dence lots in the city by December /.
Mr.. Mullen's pride in the city should
be shared by every Ardmore property
owner and a desire TO see such q
course pursued is commendable But
civic pride can never grow under the
weight of law The man who beauti-
fies does so because he loves beauty.
And there is another feature in the
matter that stands far ahead Of any
other tnat condemns such a resolu-
ton. The town is now taxed heavily
to bear the burden Of municipal inn
provements, two years must yet elapse
before the final payments Oh appraise-
ments are made on property and in the
aggregate the burden falls heavily on
the pocketbooks of large portion of
the people.
Ardmore is a prairie town. the soil
not adapted to the growth Of shade
trees and the plants, to grow at all,
must be watered and tenderly cared
for. The waterworks system covers
but a small portion Of the city and II
is useless to try TO grow luxuriant
shade trees without an abundance Of
water. The Ardmore people are
proud of their city and when the
proper time arrives when shade trees
can be grown the people will plant
them. but to force them to this work
is preposterous.
