MAYOR WANTS METERS.
Put on Every Hydrant in the city to
Prevent Waste.

In conversation with Mayor Dick
that gentleman said that when the
waterworks was installed he would
favor the attachment of a water me.
ter to every hydrant. BY so doing,
the mayor said, those people who
would wantonly waste water would
do so at their own expense. The
mayor said that 1t was Engineer Da-
Wis idea. and he believed It a good
one; that all up to date cities were
installing them.
This reporter has made inquiry as
to the cost of a water meter and find
them to cost s12 The mayor said
the city would put them in. II the
city had 1000 customers It would cost
$4,000 to put these meters in. We
think that is too much for the city for
the good that will accrue.
Now then, It is to keep a man
from wasting water that he puts the
meter on. The mayor says he wants
to put the price Of water at twenty
or twenty-five cents per 1000 gallons.
There will be a maximum price, how
ever. whether he uses It or not
One hundred gallons per day would
make seventy-fve cents per month for
a domestic spigot, certainly as much
as the city ought to charge, and there
are plenty of cities that will sell il
for fifty cents per month.
We believe that more families
would use less than 100 gallons per
day than over, with a fve-eights open
ing, one faucet aud no hose. For the
use of hose Of course the tenant
would expect TO pay more.
Why, then, shall the city go to the
expense Of putting a $12 meter on
every mans hydrant just to catch
a few don't-care people who would
carelessly let the water run and there
by get more than their share.
Don't do it. mayor; put the water
in, charge the people fifty cents per
month, and you will come pretty near
getting every man to take water that
can be reached

Two Years Old.

Two years ago yesterday landed
in Ardmore. And in two short years
| have proven to the general public
of Ardmore and surrounding country
that | am able to make a first class
cigar. All of which has been no small
undertaking, as so many people be-
lieve that cigar has to come from
Cuba or New York city II II is a good
cigar. Now, to advertise a cigar is
no easy task. for one has a price for
his cigar and he has no bargain days
where ne could offer special induce
ments. Every day is the same. and
to say you have the best cigar in the
United States is wasted, although I
may know such to be the fact, but
will give you some figures that will
speak for themselves. There were
100000 "Eldos" smoked in Ardmore
the first year was here, and the
year just closed 12s,25o. You see I
have increased as l and the cigar are
better known. have employed from
two to four hands steadily all year
round
Now. little history of the cigar
business in other towns think
would help Ardmore. Sherman has
two cigar factories and in all they
employ eighteen men steadily, and in
busy seasons as high as twenty-five
Wellington, Kans.. has one factory and
has from twelve to twenty working
steadily and sell all their output in
their home towns. Now this is pos.
sible for Ardmore and would be a
help to the city.
All successful cigar factories that I
know Of started small A. f. Rathfuss
OF Fort Scott. Kansas, started with
$3.50. Clifford of Kansas City started
with $500 and is now working twenty.
five men. Berimore Bros. OF Chicago
started with 5000 and has rating TO-
day of 100000. employ 200 men. OF
course this is years OF work, but they
all received the support OF their home
cities and business men. could MI
a whole page in this paper with such
successes that | have seen and in ev.
cry one | can show that they were a
big benefit to the town or city they
were in. So when you smoke an
"Eldo" cigar, remember you are help
ing yourself, and this money stays
here and is spent here at home.
Also that you are smoking a better
cigar than you can get for the same
money anywhere else. Always pure.
Always the same
