over the wild that led lis
hayward son into. these direful straIts.
Much was written about Carlyle
Harris mother when that boy was on
trial for killing his young wife. n
old Charles Harris, the father, was
mentioned only incidentally. Back
Into the shadows cast by his strong
wife sank the figure of the ~unsuccess'
full cid man. Nobody paid any atten-
ton to him. He was alone with his
great sorrow.
When DR.. Crippen was being hunt
ed, tried and put to death for killing
his wife a lonely old man in Califor-
mia followed the reports Of the case
with trembling interest. Myron A..
Crippen was too old to be of any help
to the son who had left him long ago.
Though unheralded, the greater trag.
edy was the fathers. not the sons.
When Albert Wolter was convicted OF
killing Ruth Wheeler his old father,
a veteran Of the Franco-Prussian war;
felt the blow as a long-delayed retri-
button for the one great ain OF his
life, and SO expressed himself. Albert
was the child Of a woman Carl Atbers
Wolter had known In Germany. De-
sorting the mother and baby, the elder
Wolter had come to America and
welded another woman She had died
and he, stricken by remorse, had sent
for the mother and child to join him
in America and had legitimatized the
one by wedding the other.
1.-THE Sins Of the Fathers"
And now this child had committed
a murder so fiendish in it's horror that
the old Prussian soldier bowed his
head under the shock and murmured
words about the sins of the fathers
being visited upon their children.
Another case was that of Gen. Jere
miah V. Messerole of Brooklyn, whose
son, Darwin j. Messerole, killed Theo
dore w. Larbig in a fight. The old
soldier fought bravely to save his son
and the verdict of acquittal, followed
as 1t was by the young mans conVer
sion and reception into Plymouth
church, was balm to the fathers
wounded heart
There can scarcely be a doubt abou'
the grizzled Confederate veteran, Col
T. V. Richeson, believing in his sons
innocence. But the tragedy Of sucl
an accusation against a dearly be
loved son is less only than that OF hi
conviction.
These fathers whose gray hairs ar
brought down in sorrow to the grave
as the patriarch Jacob expressed 1t
are tragic figures. They appeal TO
sympathy, but their weight of woe i
too heavy to be alleviated by Words

University Uses Experimental Cottage

OIIIVStotty SShsASS
So that the work of the housewife
may be reduced to the minimum, an
experimental cottage-not a model"
cottage-has been fitted up by the de-
partment of home economics under
Prof. Abby L. Marlatt of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin for laboratory work
in house management, dietetics, home
nursing and house decoration. Much
of the decoration is supplied from the
textile laboratory, 50 that the expense
is somewhat similar to that of the
private home. The first floor Bed
room Of an ordinary cottage was
changed into a ~kitchenette, SO that the
pantry now lies between the Kitchen
cite and dining-room, which was the
old kitchen. The basement, freshly
concreted, is divided into a cold store
room, a laundry and a furnace room

LAND TITLES ARE PERFECT
IN THE ARDMORE COUNTRY

allotment is inalienable for twenty
one years by the heirs of the deceas-
ed allottee. However, it is contend
ed by practically every lawyer OF
ability that both the homestead and
the surplus, and even the whole allot-
ment is alienable Immediately upon
the death of the allottee by his heirs.
1t is a matter of fact that in in
sttuting these suits the action is alb.
solutely unwaranted and equally un-
just. In defense of this condition it
would seem that the government.
through the department Of justice,
whore their prosecution lies, will
eventually dismiss them at the eX-
pense OF the government. 1t is plain
10 be seen that in the haste that at
tended the preparation of the data
upon which these suits were based,
precuded an absolute and correct
statement of facts upon which to file
petitions to set aside conveyance.
Whatever may have predcated the
institution of this large number OF
suits, the fact remains that the acts
of the government has frightened in
vestors and purchasers of mortgages
from coming into the old Indian Ter
ION, Of .fa %
homa, and the state will be a long
time in recovering from the effects
of a wrong perperated upon a peo-
pie through the red tape methods Of
the federal government.
In this connection we wish to i'm
press upon those who contemplate
coming to the Southwest to locate
and invest in lands that there are
lands in Carter county and Southern
Oklahoma, titles to which are abso-
lmtely perfect and it is the fault of
the purchaser if he doesn't get that
guarantee when he makes his pur-
chase. There has recently been
formed in Ardmore the Ardmore and
Carter County Real Estate Exchange,
organized by the reliable real estate
dealers here in an effort to preclude
the possibility of unreliable individ-
uals or companies from operating
here and for the protection of the
people who come here to invest in
lands.

an imperfect title has no one bu-
himself to blame for his act

chase of his stock in trade.
This is particularly and striIlingly
true in Ardmore to the commercial
printing establishment OF M. J. Par

this kind in the old city hall build
ing on South Washington street,
where he has been engaged in this
line of pursuit for the past eight
years. And during all this time he
hasn't stood still-he has added new
equipment from time to time until
today he has one of the most modern

entire state of Oklahoma.

Ardmore, Mr. Parker has ever been
prompt with his work adopting sys-
tematic methods in the outset that
enabled him to get his work out

equipped for the speedy handling OF
this class Of work.
Mr.. Parker Is progressive, at all
