RHEUMATIC PAINS
DISAPPEAR
Relief Comes After Taking Few Doses
of Croxone.

1t is needless to suffer with rheuma-
tism, and be all crippled up, and bent
out of shape with its heart-wrenching
pains when you con avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid; and the only way to
overcome it is to remove the cause.
CroXone does this because it neu-
tralzes and dissolyes the poisonous
substances and uric acid that lodge
in the Joints and muscles, to scratch
and irrtate and cause rheumatism,
and cleans out and strengthens the
stopped up inactive kidneys, so they
can filter the poison from the blood,
and drive it on and out of the system.
,Croxone is a truly remarkable medi-
cine for rheumatism, kidney troubles,
and bladder disorders. You will find 1t
differs from other remedies. There Is
nothing else just like it, 1t matters
not how old you are, or how long you
have suffered it is practically impos-
sible to take it without results. Re
lief follows the first few doses, and
you will be surprised how quickly all
misery and suffering will end

Value of Labor.

Labor is a commodity to be bought
ard sold Notwithstanding the maudlir
criticism of some theorists, writes c.
w. Post in Leslie's. Labor Is not the
man himself, whom l consider a part
of the divine, but labor is his output
just the same as wheat is the output
OF the farmer, and IL is a subject foi
purchase and sale. ard upon its quail
!ty depends its demand and its value
There are two kinds of labor, the one
manual and the other mental. When
the skilled workpan possesses a train
ed mind which directs his hands, he
rises in value, and when he reaches a
plane where his mind is so well train.
ed that he In turn becomes a creator
and must needs devise and direct, he
then requires other hands to carry
cut his ideas. Then he again rises in
the plane of value to humanity, and
his compensation must keep pace.

LINE OF NORTHERN BOUNDARY
Curious History Of United States Ter
ritory That "OVerlaps" Into tho
Dominion OF Canada.

How did the United States come to
get that small corner Of land which
juts out from the extreme northern
boundary of Minnesota? History OF
that little nose" which sticks out into
Canada from Minnesota and which
constitutes the northernmost point OF
the United States is very interesting.
Under the treaty OF 1888 boundary be-
tween the United States and British
possessions was fixed. A certain point
on the Lake of the Woods was mu-
tually agreed to as one starting point,
this being considered the headwaters
Of the st. Lawrence river and Great
Lakes system. At that time 1t was not
known whether this point was north
or south OF the forty-ninth parallel,
but It was known to be close to 1t. The
understanding was that from that
point the boundary should go north or
south to the forty-ninth parallel, as the
case might be. Later and more accu-
rate surveys showed that point was
about 25 miles north of the forty-ninth
parallel, and SO at this place the
boundary makes jog above that line.
Uncle Sam thus has little piece of
territory OF about 100 square miles in
extent north OF the general boundary
And the joke of it is that any one has
to go by water in order to reach this
little piece of territory unless he
wants to 60 through Canada--The

IT CAN BE DONE.

Opportunity today is knocking at
the door of Ardmore and at the door
of Carter county. One railroad is
building, a great oil field is being
developed, attention has been drawn
to the irrigation projects and pro-
-moters and engineers are here to look
over the interurban proposition.
No town was ever built without the
cooperation of the people. That
does not mean the cooperation of
few whom we look to as leaders, it
does not mean that few men place
their money upon the altar of the
city but it means every man in the
town. If Ardmore citizens, one and
all, VIII feel today that the burden
of the building of the interurban
rests upon hm just as much as upon
any other man in the town that
spirit of progress and cooperation
will result in the building of the road.
More interest has been taken in the
campaign for the interurban than
we dreamed of when the campaign
started. Copies of the papers have
been sent to those who reside away
from here who are interested in the
town and cooperation will come from
that source.
Every day is lost that some prog
ress is not made on the interurban.
Just as quickly as that road has
been secured it is our intention to
begin a campaign for irrigation. En-
gineer MaXcy says the Washita and
its tributaries offer the finest irriga-
ton plants in the whole southwest.
Reservoirs can be built that Will fur
nish irrigation of 100000 acres, ac-
cording to his estimate. oklahoma
has money due it from the national
reclamation fund and if we do not 90
after it we will most assurediy never
get it. We can make a garden spot
of the entire Washita valley lands and
of that magnificent stretch of coun-
try around Springer Water for the
thirsty land can be CARED TO it by
the force of gravity,
There are those who scoff at the
proposition, but there are those who
fought the first public school IN
this town. There are those who laugh
at the optimist ana say his dream
is impractical but if that scoffer had
had his way there would have never
been progressive move made in the
city and Ardmore today would not
have had even sewer system. These
are facts and progressive Ardmore
has no time TO waste upon them. IC
Ardmore and the citizens of this
county who are interested in the pro-
iects will declare in their hearts
that thoes things can be done there
will be means provided for their ac-
complishmeut.
Get on the side of progress. talk il
until the iuterurban becomes a mania

OLD FORT BUILT BY RUSSIANS
ArcheoIoglst's Explanation Of Rulns
Of Building on the Northern Coast
of California.

Ruins Of buildings on The old Weske
ranch, near Windsor and about thir
teen miles north of Santa Rosa, Calr
hitherto unexplained, now are thought
to be the work of people OF mechani
cal skill, probably Russians, who
erected the buildings 100 years OF
more ago.
That the ediflces were not the worB
of the Spaniards is taken for granted
as the history of this country under
Spanish rule is sufficiently complete
to give assurance that some record Of
the construction OF the buildings
would have been left.
The construction is too exact tc
have been the work of the Indian
races and local Investigators have de
cided that the ruins are those OF 9
large fort or fortified settlement built
by Russians early in the last cen
tury.
The ruins have the appearance Of
being parts of once massive fortifi
cation. In one place there stands 6
part OF the wall, twenty feet in height
thirty feet long, thirty feet thick al

of ten feet. 1t Is built Of basalt slabs

SOME OBJECTIONS TO CONCRETE PAVING

Again We object TO cement as a

lem people for its quality, It's stability,
its wearing or lasting qualities or for
any reason whatever, other than It's
cheapness. Salem has gone paving
mad, and whenever the epidemic seems
to be in measure dying out, Gideon

cement rabies, and he, in turn, bites
his neighbors and they others, until the
community is infected with it, Gid is

We believe Salem is making a seri.
GUS mistake in her street paving, in
that she is, as a general thing, using
concrete, and concrete, The Capital
journal believes, is the poorest of all
paving materials. There are several
reasons for this belief. The first
might be called just general prin-
ciples. II does not believe concrete
is lasting pavement, for the reason
that 1t is not calculated to stand wear,
having no binding material, such as
asphalt, for instance, in its makeup.
II is composed, that is good concrete,
Of gravel OF crushed rock, sand and
cement, the proportions varying some.
what, From its nature IL is bound to
wear out rapidly. Every wagon passing
over il, breaks little portions Of the co.
ment or sand, and, there being no
binding material, this is swept away,
or becomes dust. In n little while, a
gravel is loosened and thrown out on
the top Of the street. This, in turn,
when struck by a wagon, is ground
down into the paving, loosening more
material, and at the same time lifts
the wagon slightly, giving additional
grinding power as it drops off It onto
the pavement, the striking force being
added to the weight OF course, this
wear, especially while the street is new
is slight, but It is there, and in a little
while becomes quite noticeable. Then
when the least depression is made, "a
that the wagons have a slight drop, thc
wear becomes more rapid at shat point
