CHARLTON MUST
co BACK TO ITALY
GOVERNMENT TO SURRENDER
WIFE MURDERER FOR TRIAL
INSANITY PLEA FAILED.

Washington, Dec. 1O.-Secretary
Knox granted today the request OF
italy for the surrender of Porter
Charlton. charged with the murder
of his wife at Lake Como.
The secretary holds that the fact
that Italy refuses to surrender her
citizens to the United States for trial
does not relieve this country from
the obligation of the eXtradition
treaty to surrender Italy fugiuyes
from that country.
The question of the insanity of
Charlton, it is suggested, is one for
the courts and not for the depart
ment to determine.
Porter Charlton killed his bride,
Mary Scott Charlton, with a mallet
after a quarrel in their villa overlook
ing Lake Como, Italy, last June. He
then stuffed the body into a trunk
and threw it in the lake, where 1t
was found few days later. He fled
from Italy and was arrested at Ho-
boken, n. j., June 23. Since then he
has been in Jail fighting eXtradition.
He is 22 years old. His bride of a
few weeks was 81.

HEALTHY HOLIDAY TRADE.

Ardmore merchants are taxed to
their capacity to take care of the
many shoppers in the city. Farmers
are buying heavily this fall and win
ter and the trade territory of the
town has been extended until the
city enjoys trade from many sur
rounding towns. The immense stocks
and liberal prices advertised in Ard
more are the means of bringing this
trade here. Ardmore this year has
twice the amount of merchandise the
stores have had in the past three or
four years. Financial conditions are
good in this section of the state and,
the enterprising merchants have ar
ranged to take care of the needs of
the people. 1t pays to buy in Ard
more where a variety of goods are
offered, where prices are as low as
Legitimate merchandising can make
them. Do your Christmas shopping

FARMERS PROFIT
BY COTTON CROP
BETTER YIELD THAN EVER BE-
FORE PRODUCED IN STATE is
OPINION OF MR.. GIST.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 11.-E. w.
Gist, secretary of the state board of
agriculture, today gave out a state
ment estimating that Oklahoma will
have produced by the end of the
present season, $4,000 bales of cot
ton, 500 pounds gross weight, each.
The United States census bureau
yesterday reported that up to Dec.
there have been ginned in Okla
homa S2S,S42 running bales, counting
round as half bales" said Mr.. Gist
From my knowledge of the method
OF the census bureau in gathering
this information, | am inclined to ac-
cept its figures as more nearly accu-
rate than those reported to this Of
flee by the ginners of the state. Those
reporting Dec. l show that 81 per
cent of the present crop has been
ginned."
Computing those together with the
report of the census bureau, it indi-
Gates a total crop of SS1700 run
ming bales. At the same time, the
ginners reported on the average
weight of bales, which was 496
pounds, gross weight. Reducing to
an average of 500 pounds, the num-
Der to be ginned the end of the sea
son gives little less than the amount
have stated, but it is safe to say
| the Oklahoma crop for this season
will be $4,000 bales, of 500 pounds
each. This agrees very closely with
! the average estimate of our crop
correspondents on the yield per acre
when computed into my best esti-
mate as to the number of acres be-
ing gathered. This crop rotation will
return to the producer a gross value
of $61 100000 and will undoubtedly
be the most valuable crop of cotton
which the state has ever produced
though perhaps not quite as large a
crop in actual number of bales as
that produced in 1906.
Another noticeable feature Of this
years crop is the large proportion
of the crop ginned to Dec. /, which
exceeds that of last year at this time
by about 1-2 per cent. This has
resulted from the high temperature In
the beginning of the gathering sea-
son, which forced the cotton to open
rapidly and also from the splendid
weather which prevailed up to the
first of the month, throughout which
there has been no necessity for ces-
sation of picking. One of the causes
contributing to this result in a slight
degree, at any rate, is that tendency
on the part of the farmer to take ad-
vantage of the advice which has been
continually given him to gather the
cotton rapidly and thus save it from
damage in the field"

do very little advertising. Mr.. \. G..
Young here especially has a furni-
ture store that ought to attract people
from many miles away TO come here
to do their furniture shopping. If
they knew of the big socks of fur

would make bills at other stores, as

We desire to call the attention of
the people to the proposition made

cor and manager, states that he will
duplicate any catalogue advertised
furniture at saving to his custom

shop with a reputation, a shop
that never turns out n faulty piece of
material, a shop that never Sights

orders correctly and with dispatch.
Persons who place their orders for
furniture with the Fraley Mil run
no risk of getting shoddy goods. they
build furniture that will last a life
time and their proposition is worth
investigating.
