ZINC MINES OF
THE ARBUCKLES
EXPERTS CLAIM THEM TO BE
THE RICHEST IN THE ENTIRE
WORLD.

The zinc deposits in the Arbuckle
mountains near Davis are destined
to add more fame to the greatness
of oklahoma.
Max Westheimer came in last night
from there and brought "a sample of
the ore that the various companies
are getting out and is very we'll pleas
ed with what he saw while there.
There are several companies in the
field at present, and two mills are
being put down, one on the Beard
holdings, and one on the Robnett
holdings. These mills will be in oper-
alton within ten days. Max says that
the mountains about Davis look like
a city of tents, many people from
Joplin, Missouri, are there looking
over the situation and trying to get
claims. Experienced men in zinc
mining claim that this is far richer
than the Joplin field, this ore as
saying about $50 to the ton, and in
addition, it is a solid ledge while in
the Joplin field it was found in
pockets"

COUNTY
LOOKS GOOD
TO THIS MAN FROM lOWA-SEES
PROSPERITY AHEAD FOR THIS
SECTION.

Il am highly pleased with the ag-
ricultural conditions throughout Car
ter county, and in my judgment, Ard
more can look to the farmers of its
county to support the development Of
this part of the state said Mr.. l..
w. LaRue, of Marshalltown, Iowa,
today. Mr.. LaRue is one of the fore
most real estate men of the state of
Iowa, having been engaged in that
business in his home state since
1895, and has seen the greatest farm
ing state in the union spring from
barren wilderness. Mr.. LaRue is
probably one of the best informed
men on agricultural development
there is 10 be found anywhere.
Il have been over nearly the en-
tire state in the past two months,
and nowhere have 1 found prospects
more flattering for the agricultural
interests than / find in your county,"
said Mr.. LaRue. Il predict that with.
in few years with the vast area of
rich soil that has not yet been put
into a productive state, Carter coun-
ty can boast os being on an equal
with some of the rich agricultural
counties of my state, which only Il
few years since were in an undevel-
oped condition.
Besides being one of the foremost
real estate men of Iowa, Mr. LaRue
is also widely known as town
builder and says that with the
startling movements thai have been
recently made in Ardmore, there is
no reason why Ardmore within
the course of few years, should
not he a city of twenty-five thousand
population.

DOUBLE MURDER IS
SHR0UDED IN MYSTERY
WHO KILLED JOHNSON AND
ROBERTS NEAR DoUGHERTY is
STILL A MYSTERY.

Nothing new has developed in the
doublem urder case which occurred
near Dougherty Saturday night OF
early Sunday morning. Hale, whG
opened fire on the officers who were
watching the bodies until the coroner
arrived, is in Jail ut Sulphur, but
he will be returned to Dougherty
tomorrow where his preliminary hear
ing will be had. The case is shroudcd
in mystery, and the officers are
hard at work trying to unravel it.
1t is the general opinion that robbery
was the motive, but until Hale is
tried tomorrow his motive for opening
fire on the officers with double
barreled shotgun will not be learned.
1t is thought by some that a negro
who is under surveillance committed
the act, but that is merely theory,
nothing tangible having been learned.
Mr.. Johnson, one Of the victims, was
resident of Dougherty, and the
remains were inferred there, while
Mr.. Roberts, the other man slain, was
a resident of Pilot Point, Texas, and
the remains were sent there for in
terment.

FIVE NEW WORDS
DROPPED OUT TODAY
MRS. j. S. BERKSHIRE SUPPLIED
THE SEVEN MISSING WORDS
YESTERDAY.

Since this big Missing Word Con-
test was inaugurated by The Ard
moreite, interest in it has not Jagged
for minute and every day scores of
answers are received by the manager.
The seven words omitted from the
page on Tuesday and Wednesday
proved too big task for most every
one who tried to supply them, and at
the time that the successful contest
ants letter was opened none other
had been received that was correct.
We find that the harder the words to
supply the more interest manifested
in the hunt for the lost words and so
today We have dropped out five that
will be harder to supply than any
previous list, so put on your Ounce
cap (eXcuse us, we mean your think
ing cap) and see how awfully hard
it. is to detect these five mysterious
words. Sherlock Holmes himself
would no doubt have to burn mid
night oil to locate the words that are
left out today.
Say, stop long enough in your
search for these artful little words
and think what a treat it would be
to take trip to New York City, with
all expenses paid by The Ardmoreite.
Here's how: All contestants in The
Ardmoreite's big automobile contest
who come within 100000 votes of the
winner of this much sought and COW
eted prize will be awarded this free
trip with all expenses paid. If you
want to get in on this trip call and
see the automobile contest manager
right now-and remember, that time
is mighty short, as this big cont st
closes on the 25th.

sue now being fought out in the do
minion.
From the plain question of recipro-
cal tariff laws, under the sinister in
fuence Of the enemies of tariff reform,
the emphasis has been laid upon an
nexation IN order to iufiame the Can
adam mind against the agreement
The propaganda has been so indus
trsousIy pushed that an. .unwonted in
terest has been excited in the cam
paign- The British flag is being wav-
ed in frantic fashion, and President
Taft, Champ Clark, J. J. Hill and 9TH
ers are being quoted and misquoted
toEprove that the United States is pre-
pairing to grab Canada
On the other hand, the government
campaigners are trying to get before
the Canadian farmers and fishermen
the great mutual benefit to accrue from
the commercialization of the two coun-
tries.
In this, as In several American cam
paigns. a false issue has been raised
to blind the people to the real object
of the proposed treaty. II they can be
persuaded to believe that it is a cloak
for annexation, then commercial unity

ever any workman falls below thar
standard he is at once marked by his
employer as poor workman, and SUI
fers accordingly. In fixing the stand
ard-or pace-at which the men must
work, a certain man is taken from the
employees in the factory, and put to
work under stop watch. Each move
he makes is carefully recorded. If he
picks up a wrench, that move is put
down, together with the number of sec
Cnds it took him: If he blows his nose
while at work. that also is recorded.
IN fact, every move he makes, no mat
ter how small or insignificant, is set
down in seconds. Through the whole
day this man goes at top speed, and
the result is used as the standard
which all the men must follow there
after.
IN addition, each man must work
while electrical machines keep tab on

last summer before the house commit

addition, whenever any one man ex-

Notwithstanding the output is greatly
increased under the working of the
system, no provision is made for in
creasing the pay of the men in pro-

labor committee, gave the impression
to all who heard him that he looked
upon men as of less value than ma
chimes. He told the committee that
machines would wear out, whereas
you could always get other men when
the old one got through Therefore,
be said, il was of the utmost impor-
lance to consider the machine first,
and calculate everything from the
of machine production.
The naval and arsenal workers who
have studied the system in the Penn
syivania steel mills, where II has been
Installed, say that It grinds down the
men remorseiessly, and that under the
constant speeding up the men wear
out much quicker than under the pres
emit methods, which they say are bad
