You have all had ample time to

not doing your duty II you do not

drill going, property in Ardmore will
begin to take on value. Don't tell
me that you have no money-tha,
you owe more than you can pay now.
and that you can not sell anything;
It is the property owrer who can
not sell, or whose property is depre-
ciating in value that should come
forward and push. With free ga.
Ardmore will g. to the front We
will then get factories and railroads.
Oklahoma City would have to look
to her laurels or we would go ahea>

TO see you all, and when ] publish

enough subscribers to call our first
meeting and organize for business

see you, drop me postal signifyins
your willingness, and ! will put your

HAD YOU THOUGHT

Il am preparing booklet" sain
II, G.. Spaulding, ,ocretary OF the con,
mercial club this morning. "to send
out to prospectors and have been
searching for something new ana
now what do you think have dis
covered? There are larger towns l..
the eastern district Of Oklahoma than
Ardmore, but according to the last
federal census Ardmore has the great
est white population Of any town in
old Indian Territory
The observation in favor of Ard
more is n good one. 1t Is a good aa-
vertislng point. II seemp that no
enc else had ever thought of It. Any
way, that is Spaulding's business and
he Is on to his Job.
Muskogee has the reputation OF be-
ing a bigger town than Ardmore ano
SO It is, but the census here shows
that the town has about 10000 3eo-
pie and the larger portion or at
len half that number belongs 20 the
negro race. While In Ardmore. the
total population Is not so great, but
the negro population is so mucn
smaller that the net white population
in Ardmore is greater than 1t is in
