Practical jokes among friends are
is not overdone amusing to those
directly interested. but practical jokes
wherein ones name appears in the
daily print are of another character
and often lead TO complicated stu
ations.
There is no reason why the daily
press should be made the goat for a
bunch OF practical jokers when it
is not in the least interested, and
it is a custom that should be frown-
ed upon whenever the opportunity
presents itself. 1t may be extremely
funny to some people to report thai
Mr. So-and-So and Miss So-and SO
have gone to some distant city where
they will be happily married, and
the friends of both parties may think
that they have put one over on
them. The young lady and gentle
man in question may look at the
matter in an entirely different light
and he is more than apt to swoop
down on the unsuspecting reporte"
and demand who in "Aich" furnished
the information. In that case the
scribe is up against it and has to
give up the necessary information
bad practice. Don't do it. Have all
the fun you can get out of life, but
don't act naughty in print.

A WANDERER
IN OLD AGE
N. A. NORTON, PENNilESS AND
HOMELESS, CAME AMONG
FRIENDS.

Nicholas Alexander Norton, an old
and a sick Confederate soldier arrived
here today from Wesley, Okla, to
enter the state home. He was, how
ever, not equipped with any records
TO show that he ever rendered any
service to the Confederate States dur
ing the war and the superintendent
OF the home cannot admit him.
He went from the depot to the Pal
ace Barber Shop where he remained
the greater part of the day. lie
is in his 10th year and is sick. Sew
eral persons became interested in
him and he was given every attention.
Dinner was provided and friends
made arrangements with Mrs. Curtis
who has charge of the county poor,
to care for him until he is entitled
to enter the state home. An automo-
bile was provided to take him to the
home of Mrs. Adair, where he will be
cared for and will be given every
assistance.
Mr.. Norton stated that he was a
member of the First Tennessee regi-
ment under Captain Bennett and en-
listed in the Confederate army at Tul-
lahoma, Tenn. He has some cnifdren
and the last he heard from them
they were living at Magazine, Ark.
He has been able to earn his own
living until about one year ago he
was attacked with diabetes and since
that time he has spent all his savings
trying to get relief and he is today
penniless, homeless and sick and must
be cared for by some one. The man
man with whom he lived at Wesley
paid his railroad fare to Ardmore but
never came with him and never had
the foresight to arrange first for him
to be admitted to the home.

NAILED CHECKS TO LUCKY CON-
TESTSNTS IN BOYS COTTON
CLUB TODAY.

Secretary Mccoy of the .Ardmore
Commercial Club has mailed out $40
in checks to the prize winners in
the BOYS Clubs county cotton eX-
hibit The prize winners are as fol-
lows:
First, Tommy Dool, Ardmore.
Second, Earnest Worthy Baum.

Fifth, Adrian Carroll, Ardmore.
Sixth, Sterling Dunn, Mulkey,
Seventh Charles Hunt, Ardmore.
Eighth. Alva Holcomb, Lone

Tenth, Homer Moore, Ardmore.
These Youngsters deserve great
credit fer the splendid efforts for
intensive farming; and it pays, not
only the boys who enter the con
tests, but the entire community as
an object lesson.
Diversified and intensive farming,
with the raising of live stock, is a
sure winner; with deep plowing to
secure the proper chemical action
upon the soil and to secure a great
er conservation of moisture, prepa o
ration of a good seed bed, selection
of the yer ybest seed, through 'cul-
tivation and the use of the Arm
strong machine and brains, and the
planting of a few acres of kaffir, So
as to be absolutely sure of feed
crop, the farmers of this section
cant help but be successful.
The Ardmore Commercial Club has
contracted for one carload of guar
anteed pure bred Mebane Triumph
cotton seed to sell to the farmers
at actual cost ($15O per bushel,
and will order as many more cars
as the farmers require. Every far
mer who will Nwant this pure seed
should make the order to the com
mercial club as soon as possible, So
| that the commercial club may know
! how many cars to order.

SPEED MAN|ACS
CHIEF OF POLICE BOOMER HAS
ORDERED HIS MEN TO ARREST
DRIVERS WHO VIOLATE LAW.

Chief Of Police Booker called the
policemen before him this morning
and issued an ultimatum in regard
to fast driving of vehicles on the
streets of the city and he laid es-
pecial stress on the drivers OF mo-
tor cycles. He stated that he had
noticed in the last few days that
the ordinance was being violated
and that complaint had been re-
ceivcd from citizens OF B street
northwest. that that thoroughfare
was being utilized as a race track
every Sunday. He instructed his
men to arrest any person violating
the ordinance. irrespective OF VINO
they were, and they would most
certainly be made to pay fine. he
stated that the motorcycle speed
maniac was the most malignant OF
the lot and his case would be given
extra attention. The law regulating
the rates of speed within the city
was then read and is as follows:
Eight miles per hour for any vehicle
in the business districts, and IL
miles in the residence portion OF
the city and in all cases not over
four miles per hour when turning
a corner or crossing a street.
The chief stated that this ordi-
nance was going to be enforced re-
gardless of who it affects, and the
present incumbent of the office is
too we'll known in this city to fear
that he will not make good.
