The officer added that the scheme
had not worked.
Richter's mother, who was in court,

order to the young man.
She, too, realized. she said, hat
the plan was a failure, and said the

A Homo Institution For Home Men.

1t has been said that the neatest
home on Caddo street is the one built
by a share holder in the Peoples
Building and Loan Association, with
money secured from that institution.
Be that as it may, this home is evil
dence of two things, that this associa-
tion is a help to the one who would
help himself and that it only loans
money on the best security.
The lot upon which the house in
question was built was owned in fee
simple by the borrower and the
monthly payments which he is max
ing are rendering the security more
and more gilt edged every day.
For a safe investment every day,
one where your money is secured by
steadily advancing real estate values
it would be hard to find a better op-
portunity than is offered by this COM
pany.
The president of the association, as
well as the secretary is . man who
is known to every one in Ardmore as
a straightforward and an upright bus
mess man. The people of this city
recognized his integrity and ability
as business man when they elected
lim their mayor, and in the business
world he is recognized as a success.
This can also be said Of the secre-
tary, ". A. Edwards, who will gladly
give any full information upon the

Carter county man.
Prof. Williams is known to everyone
in the city of Ardmore, in the county
of Carter in fact, as a man VINO does
things. Few men in the school world
possess the power of real leadership
and organization that he does. IL is
a pleasure to read the good things

should be accorded the voters OF this

This has shown us what school Can
be. We have never before, we believe,
seen a school accomplish so mucn OF
the really great. A school that meant
so much to patron and pupil
"Jt is no idle word when we say
that our school has come out Vlcto-
rious in every contest with othei
schools. In 1911 our school was
awarded first place in the Declamato-
nv contest. and this year, the great
est of all school years, the same VIC
torv was repeated only on a larger
scale. winning in athletics and being
awarded the handsome w. }. Mll5urn
cup for first place in Declamatory
contest for this county. But this Is
not the greatest victory. We watched
these contests and can say, with our
friends. that no school was able to
compete with the same nObleness and
self-control. We have upon different
occasions visited the school rooms
and there We have found that pupils
were so taught to see the noble thing
that whether teacher was present or
not everything moved on in the same
orderly way. The whole secret of our
school and its development is to be
found in its earnest leadership. The
motto of the school seemed to be
WORK, and certainly no school has
ever done more of this. Nothing just
happens so.
1.-TWO years ago young man came
to us highly recommended. He proved
to be more than we even expected,
While small in stature and youthful
in appearance his strength as a school
man is equaled by few. He is thor
ough school man. From the very start
the school was characterized by hard
work; oitimes the lamp burned in the
school window until midnight, and
early morning found him at his post
| to greet the children with kind word
and smile. Ne wonder things were
done. He is man of whom it can
be truthfully said, He is a terrible
worker
Soon the enrolment and punctu'
ality were increased, and school in
terest was developed that will be last
ing. Our school was marked by Others
out of the district and soon many calls
came to be admitted here This was
done and number of large pupils
were admitted from other districts.
Prof Williams strength was not
only noted here, but he was honored
by his fellow teachers, and for the
past two years served as president OF
the Teachers Association. AS presi
dent of this association, the same
characteristics that blessed us in ou!
school were shown. Work, sincerity
leadership and organization linked
with a will that does things. Carrying
out the principle that the rural chll
dren should have equal advantages
