ing history of the town, Judge Pot
teri told of the sacrifices the patrons
had made in the way of furnishing
buildings and purchasing equipments
and employing teachers and urged the
children to take advantage of them
and urged the parents to give their
full cooperation.
Mrs. J. C. Thompson made one of
the best speeches of the morning.
Her subject was the work OF the
Mothers Clubs, and she traced the
organization of these clubs, told of
what they had done and partially out
lined the work for the coming year.
Mrs. Homer Adams, who was at one
time director of music in the schools
responded to request TO sing solo.
She was forced to make response by
singing a second time.
Each one of the High School teach
er was introduced and made timely
talks. They were speeches of enthu-
siasm each for his or her own de-
partment.
College yells were interspersed at
proper intervals throughout the ex-
eroises and the college spirit proved
contagious.
Of hn a n
made a good talk. Sol Lowenstein of
the department of orchestra music
responded. He said he was not going
to try but that he was going to make
the strongest High School orchestra
in the state. His words met with
cheers and Ardmore people expect to
see him succeed.
The orchestra music was feature
of the exercises. Every number was
thoroughly enjoyed.
The city schools begin with super
intendent and teachers organized, en-
thused and eager for a successful
year or work. Inc boys ana girls are
pledged to the greatest years work
in their history, the school board is
a unit on all matters touching the
schools and parents are ready to
help and lend encouragement at every
point Eecded.
Success lies in the path of the city
schools

BANKS ARE ASSESSED.
Payment Will Be Made on Warrants
of Failed Banks.

oklahoma City. Okla, Spt. 15-For
the purpose of redeeming warrants
against the bank guaranty fund held
by the Willlin-H Hale bank, and as an
emergency assessment to assist in
caring for the failed Farmers and
Merchants bank at Sapulpa, the bank
ing board Saturday made a special as
sessment of one-half of l per cent
against Oklahoma state banks.
The amount that may be raised un
der the present emergency assessment
will be something like S150000. When
the last report on the guaranty fund
was made, for the quarter ending June
30 last cash on hand in the guaranty
fund amounted to $4,000. Some of
this has been used in liquidating the
Sapulpa bank. What is left and the
$l5O,G00 to be raised by the assess
ment will be used in redeeming the
warrants held by the Wilkin-Hale
bank and paying depositors of the
failed Sapulpa bank.
This is the third emergency assess
ment that has been made since the
Inauguration of the guaranty deposit
law.

Hats Denoted Liberty.

In Rome slaves, when they received
their liberty at their masters hands,
wore cone-shaped felt hats, which
came to be the symbol of liberty.
After the death of Nero the citizens
of Rome wore pointed hats to show
that they were relieved from the op-
preston of tyrant. Later on, when
the Netherlands threw off the Span
fish yoke, they adopted a hat in the
coat of arms of that nation.

Hickory, Okla, Sept 15.-Hiokory
city officials have demonstrated that
the affairs of an incorporated town
can be conducted without a tax lew.
Last year. no assessment was levied
here, @nd there is a balance in the
city treasury. For two years no occu-
patton tax has been collected and for
three years the average expense of
the municipal government has been
not more than $3.50 per annum. This
includes road work and other i'm
proVements. None of the three trus-
tees, ED Perry, o. L. Bynum or W
NJ. Moseley have been paid. neither
has the town clerk and treasurer. L.
E. Johnsey, received compensation.
Uncle Bob Smith, the mayor, has
received only the absolute fees due
him. The money coming into the
treasury from sources other than di-
rect taxes have paid all expenses
And none of it IS hush money either
1t is doubtful if another town in the
state has such a record.

Was Told to Drive In.

A trunk, a wagon and team of
mules and an irate farmer caused
considerable excitement and no little
merriment at the union depot yester
day afternoon.
Just before the arrival of the early
afternoon south bound Santa Fe a
citizen of one of the suburban dis
tr,cts drove up to the depot platform
with a heavy trunk in the rear of

the general style and contour of the
trunk that the owner thereof belong

wagon the trunk reposed knew that

OPENING DAY Of
CITY SCHOOLS
THE COLLEGE SPIRIT EVIDENT
AT OPENING EXERCISES NEW
TEACHERS INTRODUCED.

Today marked the opening of the
thirteenth session OF the Ardmore city
schools. Teachers and pupils and
parents We're busy in every ward.
While the actual enrolment today has
not been learned, it is larger than
last year. In fact since the first
session was held in 1899, the attend
ance mas been greater every year.
The opening exercises of High
School were held at Carnegie Library.
Every available seat was occupied
and scores remained standing
throughout the exercises which lasted
from nine o'clock until noon. The
High School orchestra, with Sol Low
enstein as director, played three num-
bers while the crowds We're assem-
bling.
Mrs McClintock directed the sing
ing of America" and the entire au-
dience joined in the music.
Dr. Gray, pastor of Broadway Meth
odist church, was presented by irof.
Richards and led the devotional eX-
ercses. He read from the first chap
ter of Collosians. The Scripture les
son was especially appropriate and
the word added by DR.. Gray was an
unfit spiritually and mentally to the
student body and also to the patrons
and teachers.
Superintendent Richards called at
tention to the achievements of the
High School graduates and introduced
Miss Annie Thompson, who favored
the audience with a piano solo. One
piece of music from this trained mu-
sician was not enough and the en-
core was kept up until the little Wom-
an had played again. Miss Thompson

will continue to prosecute her studies

Members OF the school board We're
next presented and in doing so Supt.
Richards spoke of their unselfish
work, that they had neglected their
own private affairs to attend to the
affairs OF the city school and said he
had never seen a board work more
harmoniously or more unselflshly III
his life. President r. A. Hefner was
then called and responded with
speech that showed his loyalty to
teachers and to boy and girls, he said
he loved the college spirit that per-
vaded the schools and urged tho
young people on to greater achieve
ments. He said the board had taken
care of every phase of the school
worlt The mooc congress Will have
its trained leader and the athletic
grounds will have strong ard ex-

Judge ]. C. Thompson, A. c. Young
and Charley Fraley, other members
of the school board, responded with
timely talks.
Judge Potterf, who was president
of the first school board in the city,
was present and made most inter-
esting speech. He grew reminiscent
and read the first ordinance of the
city providing for public schools and
told of the efforts OF the people to
obtain these schools. He read from
the Ardmoreite a report of the open
ing day of the first school and also
read from a clipping giving an ac-
count of the closing of the schools at
the end of six months. His words
were listened to with intense inter-
est. After turning from his scrap
