That there are opportunities today
knocking at the door of Ardmore no
one can doubt The time is here
when an effort upon the part of the
citizenship of this city will bring
prosperity and growth to the town.
Oklahoma is the most talked of state
in the union, that notoriety which has
come to the state should be coined
into dollars and cents. it should be
commercialized and made to draw
dividends Ardmore business men
possess the sagacity to commerclalize
that advertising which has been Civ
en- the state of oklahoma. Men OF
means have their faces turned toward
Oklahoma and the work of hovine
these faces turned toward Ardmore is
the duty of the commercial club.

condition and they know that We are
utterly unprepared for war. They
know that our navy is too small, that
our navy is practically helpless, be-
cause we have no merchant vessels
as an auxiliary. They know we have
no transports for the one and no aux
iliaries for the other.
"The war department will tell you
that in case of contest We would
need for transports $50 vessels. We
have not in both oceans combined
twenty vessels fit for this purpose.
We are more helpless today that was
Russia at the beginning of war with
Japan.
Il do not prophesy a war with ia
pan. 1t would be a crime against hu-
manity. But the only guarantee of
peace on the Pacific ocean is to be
prepared for war.
Japan has 600 merchant vessels
on the Pacific fit for transportation.
The United States has six. Japan
can transport 100000 trained troops
at one time and the United States
not more than 10000"

A Pioneer Woman.

Fount Duston of this city has a
very interesting guest at his home
The visitor is Mrs. Lutitia McCor-
mack of Woodbine, Texas. Mrs. Nc.
Cormack is now seventy-one years of
age, she was married in her tisteert III
year and moved Immediately into the
house she lives in today. Her hus-
band hewed the logs, sawed the floor,
ing from the native oaks with a hand
saw and built the house of such tim
ber as grew around Woodbine. In the
carly days the sleeping apartments
were on the second floor. The family
climbed up a ladder to their sleeping
qarters and then removed the ladder
for the night. This was done to keep
the savage Indians of north Texas
and Indian Territory from gaining ad-
mittance into the room where the
family might lie asleep.
Mr.. Duston was married to the
daughter of Mrs. Mccormack in that
same picturesque pioneer home and
Mrs. Mccormack is visiting with her
grandchildren here. She is an interest
ing woman and can tell many stories
of the frontier days in north Texas

now divided into the following di-
visions Administration, vital sta
tistics, sanitary inspection, pure food

tion, state laboratories.
A representative of the Ardmore-

The real benefits being derived
from this department of state SER
vice cannot be appreciated until a
visit is paid these offices.
One of the most unique and at
tractiye features that impresses the
visitors is the large wall map of
Oklahoma that adorns the wall of
Commissioner Mahrs private office.

tacks of various colors, each repre-

disease, is shown the extent OF any

each county represent the number

ben reported through the depart

as reports are received this map
is edited so that it proves a con-
slant review of health conditions
throughout the state, that can be
seen and understood at a glance.
Although Oklahoma has been
spending but $29.SOO per annum for
all of her public health work, the

the valuable records already at

Despite the fact that the public
health department is law enforce

deals directly with all of the prac-

the administration of DR.. Mahr has
not been marred by any serious CON
flict or dissension, but on the other
hand the practitioners have express

by filing with him petitions TO Gov
ernor Cruce asking for his reap
pointment, that number more than
