BASKET FACTORY
FOR ARDM0RE
FRUIT GROWERS OF THIS SEC
TlON WILL NOT BE CAUGHT
NEXT YEAR.

A we'll defined movement is on foot
among number Of the leading 5usi-
ness men and fruit growers OF A"n-
more TO establish basket factory 1t
this point in the immediate future.
In conversation with Dr. j. +. Son.
president OF the Carter County Fruit
Growers Association the following
facts were CLEANED by an Ardmore-

We're over fifty cars of peaches ship
ped This year from this city. These
peaches netted nearly one dollar per
bushel clear of the transportation
charges and the cost of icing the Cars)
A return of something like twenty
thousand dollars resulted to the FL
berta growers OF this count over and
above the freight and refrigeratinS
charges.
Owing to storage of baskets, 1t IS
conserNativeiy estimated that be-
tween eighteen and twenty thousand
dollars worth of the finest Elbertas
have been left to fall to the ground
and rot This condition has been the
same all over the state. The men
who organized the fruit growers as
sociation in this county were compell-
ed to ship in heir baskets IRON

MORE HOME INDUSTRIES.


The patronizing OF the home in
dustry' necessarily leads to more
home industries. The more material
OF any kind that We make at home
the more we can sell at home, or
abroad. In another column OF this
issue of the Ardmoreite will be
found a story Of a proposed basket
factory at Ardmore. This basket
factory as proposed, is not an idle
dream nor is 1t scheme to sepa-
rate the ones who 90 into the en-
terprise from their hard-earned dol
lars.
The tremendous loss to the farm
ers and fruit growers Of Oklahoma
this year, sustained on account OF
the lack of organization and of bas-
kets and crates wherein to ship
the gigantic peach crop to the mar
kets, should be sufficient spur
to awaken the people-the business
men of this city to a realization of
the necessities which must be met
TO successfully bring in the dollars
of the north in payment for the pro
ducts Of the south.
Fruit growers of this section of
Oklahoma, men who have made the
fruit industry a study OF many
years before they came to this
state and who know all the ins and
outs of the business, say that with
the news orchards which will come
into bearing next year, even If we
should not have so good an all
around crop of peaches as was rails
ed this year, there will be not less
than double that of this year. I'm
less some immediate action be TAX
en- in the matter this will mean a
loss to the farmers and fruit grow
ers. to the peach raisers of Carter
county alone, next year OF from
thirty-five to fifty thousand dollars.
As The Ardmoreite stated in an
editorial in II recent issue, 1t is
the get together and the stick TO-
gether, the work together and the
push and pull together which makes
a town, a community, a state and
country. This is one particular
case which requires a get together
and pull together right now.
This is a case which means get
busy" and get busy quick. DO not
wait until the peach trees are in
bloom before perfecting an organi-
zation. BY then It will be too late
to save the crop of 1913. Organize
now. Form your company now and
get busy right off the reel. This
company can be organized, the ma
chinery ordered and installed, the
necessary timber cut and delivered
to the factory and the work of
manufacturing thousands OF baskets,
hundreds of carloads OF them, all
he done this coming winter The
time for action in this matter is now
right now. Not when the blooms
are on the trees and the bees are in
The clover. but when the frost is
on the pumpkin and the folders in
the shock
The Ardmoreite hopes that every
one Interested in the fruit industry
that everyone interested in
greater and bigger and broader Ard
more and Carter county will take
this matter under immediate ad-
visement and see II immediate ac-
ton can not be taken.

Last evening at the CHRISTIAN

one of tho most prominent OF the
younger business men OF the city
was united In marriage to Miss Ruby
Mcsscrsmith of Courtiand. Ohio. for
the past two years cashier for the
Gottlieb Mercantile company at
Cokedalc. The wedding ceremony
was performed by Randolph Cook and
marked the elimination of a pretty
romance which began little less
than n year ago when the groom Of
last night met the charming young
woman for the first time. 1t was n
case of love at first sight. Each pair
OF eyes looked deep into the soul Of
the other and read the answer of
their hearts desire. The poetry Of
two lives mingled into that melo-
dious June day song that hushed the
harsh echoes of all other things and
the lips OF youth and maidenhood
restial sphere rolled out Of space has
filled the world with music.
The ceremony was the simple ring
ceremony. The bride was attended by
Miss Alsnc Daughtery and the groom
by his younger brother. Alexander,
Jr. Immediately afterward tie cou-
pie We're driven to 1110 East Main
street where they will hereafter
make their home. Mr.. Mcdonald hav-
ing furnished the place In prepara-
tion for the happy event OF last
might.
Arthur +. Mcdonald is the third
son of Alexander Mcdonald, a pio-
neer resident of this city. He was
born at Williamsburg. Colo, in Free
mont county and came here with his
parents when six years old. He was
raised and educated here. He is a
member of the firm Of the Trinidad
Standard Bottling Works. foreman
and chemist of that establishment
and one of the most estimable young
men in Trinidad. The bride has liv-
ed here for two years, her parents

complished young woman. One bro

district and resigned his position on
ly short time before the Fourth of
March.
During his time in Congress Mr.,
Sherman served on many important
committees. He was delegate to
the Republican national convention
OF 1892, and chairman OF the New
York Republican state convention in
1895 and again In 1870. He had an
excellent training in parliamentary
practice and was often called upon
temporarily to ill the Speakers
chair. He was an important factor
In all legislative matters in the lower
branch OF Congress and. during his
las. term was chairman OF the COM
mittec on Indian affairs and men,
Der OF the committee on rules and OF
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce. He was one OF the
Big Five" in the House and was
considered one OF the most influen-
tial members. He was ever a staunch
supporter OF Speaker Cannon.
When Mr.. Sherman was doomed
for the vice presidency in 1905. II
was not the first time that he had
been mentioned for that office. In
1900, when he was permanent chair
man of the New York State convcn-
tion, he was for n number OF days u
Iclosc rival of Theodore Roosevelt. The
late Mark Hanna at one time re-
garded favorably the suggestion that
N.a l.. rI.. IA,, istl
candidate.
Mr.. sherman showed eNtraordin-
larry ability as leader OF political cam
paigns. During the many years
while he was chairman OF the Repub-
ilican congressional committee he led
with success some OF the hardest
flights for n Republican majority.
When Speaker Reed resigned. Mr..
Ishcrman became one OF the candl-
dates for the office. but his friends
did not have time enough to obtain
la sufficient number of pledges and
David Il. Henderson. OF Iowa. WAS

| President Mckinley named Mr..
sherman AS one of the appraisers OF
the port Of New York. but Mr.. Shcr-
man declined the office In obedience
to n mass meeting OF his consiltu-
ents. In 1902 he was mentioned In
connection with n newly created
ljudgcship on the federal bench OF
the second New York district. Dur.
Ing April OF that year It was an
nounccd that Mr.. sherman would re-
sign from Congress to take the place
on the bench. His friends. however.
finally persuaded him not to tax. the
Impeachment. but to remain In Con-
IGrcss.
The abolition of hazing at the Ma
val Academy was largely due 10 Mr..
sherman. who introduced In Con-
crcss n resolution providing for a
congressional investigation into the
affairs OF the academy. particularly
into the reports OF brutal HAHN. by
the midshipmeu. Mr.. Sherman went
into the investigation himself with
great energy and brought about the
necessary reforms. He al~o was tho
father OF the anti-scaipers' bill. an
act to provide against the practice OF
ticket scalping.

mans mother came of an old Ner-
mont family.
Mr.. sherman attended the public
schools in Utica and Whi,estown
Seminary. Afterward he entered
Hamilton College, from which he
graduated in 1878. Then he took
up the study of law and was admit
ted to the bar of New York State in
1850. He had excelled as an orator
during hos college days and was oft
Ell called upon to deliver addresses

tor that he finally drifted into poll
tics. He entered the law firm of
Cookinham & Gibson. which after a
few months became Cookinham e.
Gibson. which after few months be-
came Cookinham & Sherman.
The first political office Mr.. Sher-
