MANY WOULD TEACH
IN ARDMORE SCHOOLS
SECRETARY OF SCOOL BOARD is
OELU6ED WITH APPLICATIONS
FOR POSITIONS.

III is surprising the number OF
applications have received from
teachers for positions in the Ard
more schools said George Henry
Brace, secretary OF the school board,
this morning. Every day ! receive
on an average Of haf a dozen ap-
n'ica,ions of this sort, even aiter
all the positions in the city schools
have tcen filled. These letters come
from al! parts OF the country-from
the Atlantic on the east 10 the
Pacific on the west
These applications are attracted TO
the Ardmore schools through the fact
that better salaries are paid here
than in the majority Of places
throughout the country. In some in
stances. however, the applicant from
the "efIete East" for instance, stat
ing that he or she as the case may
be. wants to come 10 the new coun-
try"
Al any rate the fact is portrayed
that the Ardmore schools are pretty
well advertised all over the country
this city having the reputation Of
mainaining public schools far above
the average, both in the matter Of
curriculum and salary.

This home, which has Just been
completed at a cost OF about $4,000,
was made possible through popular
subscriptions solicited over the state,
the home having perhaps been first
suggested by the late Bill Cross,
who published cal over his own
signature asking for subscriptions for
the purpose. and from that time on
contributions We're made until suf-
ficient amount OF money was raised
to construct the building. The state
legislature appropriated 100000 for
the maintenance of the home for
period Of two years at the eNpira
ton of which time other apprCpri-
atione win be made for the fuurc.
The building, reproduction Of which
appears herewith. is structure Of
modern and striking architecture and
every convenience possi
sible for the comfort of the old fell
lows who wore the gray in defense
of the outh'and, where they may
spend their declining years amid
environments that viii make ror
their happiness ana well being. This
building, which is located in the
Walcott addition southwest OF Ard
more, stands as tribute from the
people of Oklahoma to the Confed-
crate Veterans a structure thai
will vet be new, when the trumpeter
sounds taps over the bier containing
the mortal remains of the last OF
the men who fought in defense of
the lost cause: and finally, when
the sod covers the last resting pace
of these valiant old soldiers, this
building will rear its walls
hpavenward as a silent monument
to The valor Of the intrepid old so'dier+
il once housed.

NEW COMPANIES WILL
ENTER WHEELER FIELD
COMPANY COMPOSED OF LOCAL
MEN CHARTERED AND CAPITAL
IzED AT $4,000.

Business is picking up in the oil
Development industry in Carter coun
ty and Il company has been organized
in Ardmore which will begin active
operation as soon as the preliminary
arrangements can be perfected
This new company, which is capital
lied at $4,000, was chartered by 5.
b. Elzcy of Morris, Okla, J. \. lmrie
and Judge j. w. Harreld of Ardmore.
Valuable leases have been secured
bv these gentlemen Immediately ad-
Joining the Santa 'e felds-or to be
explicit in section 23-and the first
well will be sunk within three quar-
tcrs of a mile from the Santa Fe COM
pauy's producing wells. The machin'
cry has already been placed on the
ground, the drill and ri, are in posi-
tion and active operation will be com-
menced in the near future.
In speaking Of the matter this MORN
ing, Mr.. Elzey said that the people of
Ardmore did not realize what an eN-
tensiye oil field they had right here
al their very doors and that in short
time activity out there would equal
that of the Beaumont and other fields
that have been exploited. There is
no question about the prospects for
oil and gas on the property secured
by these gentlemen-it being only a
matter of sinking the wells,
Mr.. Elzey is an extensive oil oper-
ator. having had wide experience in
some Of the greatest oil producing
sections of the country.
The company has been chartered
under the name of the Carter County
Oil and Gas Company and will thor
oughly develop their holdings.
Thus, one by one, oil companies are
springing up-not the wildcat variety
but organized and backed by men of
unquestioned integrity and business
sagacity who will develop the oil in
dustry in this section of Oklahoma.

STRUNG ON
THESE THREE WORDS.
NO ONE SEEMS ABLE TO SUPPLY
WORDS OMITTED THREE DAYS
ACO--S3 NOW.

The people OF Ardmore seem TO be
strung on the three words omitted
from the missing word page three
days ago. inasmuch a no correct list
has yet been received. In the .et-
tcrs submitted thus far not even one
correct word has been sent in. We
don't understand this as the words
were taken from ads that have not
been changed for several days and
there's a scheme whereby ihey eou,d
be easily found Here's a tip one
OF the words contains two letters,
another three and the third one five
letters. They have been taken from
three different ads and are easy to
fiud--pIovided you just try.
Read the changes on this page
the words might have been dropped
from some Of those-but we hardly
think sC-in fact we know they We're
not-but we want you to read the
changes anyway.
Today the premium goes TO three
dollars again and the person who
submits the correct words will in
deed have earned some easy pin
money. Read the ads and send in
your list early.

Things are exceedingly quiet in po-

police court doesn't grind so regular
l.y as in some days of the past. This
morning a woman charged with con
Quoting a disorderly house and three
dusky damsels picked up for yags
were before Judge lizard. The former
denied the charge for which she was
charged and was released upon the
self imposed condition that she leave
town as soon as she could make the
necessary arrangements. The others
were also released.

HOW TO IMPROVE
TELEPHONE SERVICE
HINTS TO pATEONS-COURTESY
EXPECTED FROM PUBLIC AS
WELL AS OPERATORS.

Talk with any telephone operator
and she will tell you that there ar,
three parties to a telephone call-th,
person making the call the telephone
comIany, and the party called. 1t Is
not sufficient that one or two OF the
parties named do their share of the
work properly. The cooperation OF
ali three is necessary.
Any telephone employe will tell YOU
Subscribers will aid us in giving good

BY correcting the operator if she

BY holding the telephone receiver

The need of courteous manners
over the telephone has drawn the fol

The question of telephone man

has been raised by a discussion in .
contemporary is surprising because It
seems 10 show that even business
people admit there is such thing
as telephone manners, though they ap-
pear to think the code is exhausted
when the man at the other end of the
wire has waited their convenience.
Unfortunately, the telephone manners
that exist are only relic of the Tast,
and the habitual telephoner gradually
discards small courtesies. While the
fact that if the speakers are strangers
they will never recognize one another
tends to "a loss Of self-respect, only
the inately courteous observe tele-
uhone manners: the rest of the world
lapses into something like primitive
savageness when it uses the latest re-.
sources of civilization.

RRI. SSELS SPROUTS

The sprouts should be carefully looked
over and all the wNted leaves and impcr-
feet heads removed, then they should be
soaked i'm cold sailed water for half an
hour which will free them from Insects.
Rinse them thoroughly IN clear water
and cook them in boiling sailed water,
uncovered, until they are tender The
time will vary with the size of the
sprouts: they may cook in IL minutes or
it may take longer They must be thor
oughly tender to the core, but not cooked
long enough to lose their shape.
Turn them into colander and let cold
water run through them This takes
away the strong flavor, which Is disagree
able to many people. When they are well
drained. return them to the stew pan.
and for each quart OF sprouts allow one
heapcd tablespoon of butter, ana salt to
taste. the amount depending on the but
ter and the amount of salt used in soak
ing and boiling DO not use too much,
for they are easily spoiled by oversaltng.
Heat them again thoroughly in the but
ter and serve at once IN hot dish
