al filling of the water bunkers.
The submarine was raised a few
hours later and the crew rescued.

ONE CONGRESSMAN
FOR new MEXICO
NEW APPORTIONMENT SCHEME
REDUCES REPRESENTATION
OF NEW STATES

Washington, Jan. 1.-Two changes
in the house apportionment plan were
agreed upon by the house commit
tee on census late yesterday. They
amend the Crumpacker congressional
apportionment bill which provides for
a house membership of 433, outside of
Arizona and New Mexico, so that
those territories when they become
states shall have one representative
each. The other amendment fixes
the basis of the house membership
following the fourteenth and subse-
quent censuses.
The latter amendment provides
that as soon as each subsequent de
cennial census is completed the sec
retary of commerce and labor
should ascertain the aggregate popu
lation of all of the states and each
separately. This aggregate population
is to be divided by 430 and the pro
duct of that division will be the ra
ito of house apportionment under
each census.
Chairman Crumacker of the cen
sus committee, called up these
amendments in the house yesterday
and had them placed on the record
preliminary to taking them up later
with the apportionment bill, which
the committee already has favorably
reported.

HOUSE ovERRuLEs CANNON

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE house
yesterday overruled the speakers de-
cision under which the reguar repub-
licans attempted to annul the rule
permitting motions to discharge meas
ures from committee. This sustains
the rule which grew out of the big
rules fight of last March. When the
vote finally was taken on the appeal
from Speaker Cannon's decision, twen-
ty-three insurgents and all but one of
the democrats present, voted against
the speaker. The result was the de-
feat of his ruling by vote of 145 to
126. Fourteen members answered
present but did not vote because of
pairs with absent members.

Quently the ice man must take the
time to remove a lot of fruit or
milk or some other thing that has
thoughtlessiy been left in his way,
before he can place the ice in the
chest This of course only causes
more delay and the next customer
is waiting impatiently and wonder

Maybe his own ice box is in the

For the convenience of our pat

or asking him to wait until tomor-

TIMELY TALK ON
ICE DELIVERY
H. e. FOSTER TELLS HOW Gus.
THIS SUMMER.

The path of the ice man is by nc
means strewn with roses, according
to the statement of II. f. Foster
manager of the Ardmore Ice, Light
& Power Company
For example, there's the matter
of service. How many patrons of the
Ice company ever stopped to think
how much must first be done before
the crystal cakes of GOODNESS can
be brought to their back doors or
placed IN the refrigerators on their
back porches? Just at this season,
when the demand for ice is at it's
lowest, the men and horses must
start out with their loaded wagons
not late. than 900 o'clock in the
morning This means that the men
must be astir and the horses fed
not later than five O'Clock. In the
summer the horses are fed as early
as four o'clock and the loaded wag-
ons must leave for the days business
by five O'Clock.
Don't take it to heart says Mr.
Foster. ''if you hail passing ice
wagon and the driver refuses to stop
Perhaps he is going away out in
the edge of town to start from 4
given point where the beginning of
his daily route is found. If he is
late at the starting point, he will be
late at the home of every customer
on the route and as a result there
is general complaint and dissatisfac-
tion among all the patrons in that
part OF the city. The man would
be glad to accommodate you, bus
he is under strict orders and not
allowed to stop short of his starting
place Other drivers will be along
to provide you and your district with
ice at the regular hours.
Another thing many people for
get, is that it takes time to place
the ice in the refrigerators. Too fire.

much genuine interest has been

One good lady said in a letter re-

in favor of having the ads continued
another thirty days, while this is my
first answer, but have enjoyed read

Another says: by all means keep
the ads running-this Is the first
time have ever had an opportunity
in my life to get some real easy
money and I have profited by read
ing the advertisements.
Another letter received this morn
ing from a lady had this notation
appended: 81 never did read an ad-
vertisment clear through in my life
before-but I have read every ad on
this page every day since the con-
test started; really, I believe l now
know them all by heart"
One idea in inaugurating this miss
ing word contest was to educate the
people in advertisement reading-to
bring the advertiser and the reading
public closer together and make the
advertising columns of The Ardmore-
ite more profitable to the merchant
using them. To an extent the an
swers received today portray the sue

by the time the page has been pub.
lished another thirty days every per-
son in Ardmore no doubt will be

first OF the week, and after this is
sue of the paper the prize money
will ascend to three dollars. Just
few minutes close persual Of the ads
today will net the contestant three
dollars. Where and how in the world
can you earn this amount of money
easier?
Remember that four words are left

each from two other ads; and remem-

must be mailed-affix a two-cent
