Ardmore's lone score came in the
first inning, when with two gone,

Guthrie, who was batting, and then
scored on Art MAYORS single. The
locals were never near the plate after
that inning.
Paris went scoreless in the first
and second innings, but cinched the
game in the third, when four runs
were scored on two-bagger, five
singles and sacrifice fly. In the
sixth Harper's single, Grady Whites
single and Mathis two-bagger gave

WILL FILTER WATER.
City Is Making Thorough Test OF
Cost of Pumping.


The city filtration plant will be
mt in operation this week. The
plant is said to be in good condi-
tion although it has not been operate1
for several years. The operation OF
the plant added II per cent to the
cost of pumping the water from the
city lake and the city fathers conclud-
ed that the filtered water was not
worth the price or at least that they
did not have so much money 10
spend for such purpose ana the
plant was abandoned. The city Is do
ing it's own pumping now on try
out proposition and the plant VIII
be used. 1t is planned to use a
quantity OF alumni at the Caddo
pumping station and the hour and
n half of time which Is required toi
the water to reach the plant VIII
be all the time that is needed fo'
the foreign matter in the water e
become suspended so the filter car
do its work with ease.
Complete tests of the cost o
humping are being made and II th'
city can pump the water for a les
sum than has been paid it will con
tinue to do the work and if thu
reverse is the result the pumpin'
contract will be givepn to the Ard
more Electric Light and Power com

MUSIC READING MADE EASY
Children Find II an Attractive Task
to Learn Their Notes by Use of
Electrical Device.

BD5r using the electric music teacher,
children will find that it is an attrac-
tive task to learn their notes, instead
of a dry lesson as Heretofore, SO that
they will begin to take an interest in
music at once, and not consider it a
drudgery. says the Popular Elec-
tricity,
NJ. Pierre Cells, a Paris inventor,
makes the device which we illustrate
here. 1t is based on the principle OF
using an electric contact plate under
the music paper. By pricking each
note with a sharp metal point, we
make contact for an electric device
carrying a hammer, SO that the ham,
mer strikes string or preferably a
metal piece to give out the sound.
THUS each note Or line or space gives
out its corresponding sound, and 1t Is
an easy matter to read a simple piece
Of music in this way.
The device is quite an elaborate
one for 1t is required to take care of
the sharps and flats which figure per-

EDUCATION NOT ALL MENTAL
Man Who Could Not Swim Is Refused
Diploma by Authorities at the
Columbia University.

The authorities at Columbia univer-
sity have refused to award diplima
to senior who has not learned to
swim the length of the pool in the
gymnasium. A few years ago such
action would have been deemed alb
surd. There are those who are unable
to swim the length Of gymnasium
pool and a students qualifications for
a degree of bachelor Of arts, says the
ST. Paul Pioneer Press. They are the
people who believe that the only bene-
fit to be derived from attendance at
college is obtained from books. The
requirements imposed at Columbia is
an Indication Of the more practical
turn that Is being given to educational
effort in recent times.
While most boys learn to swim with.
out the aid OF college or even common
school instruction. there are few
things acquired In a university OF
more practical value. Every one not
physically disqualified should be mod
erateIy proficient in the art Of keep
ing af1oat in the water. 1t is simple
thing, easily learned and should be
part of the education of even grade
school children. Columbia is setting
a good example in withholding di-
ploma from man who cannot swim.

COOPERATION PROPER THING
Farmers Can, In Most Cases, Double
Profits by Working Together In
Selling Their Produce.

II you are growing fruit on even a
medium scale and have neighbors who
are doing the same thing you can. In
most cases, double your profits by
working together and looking up a
market before selling time comes. In
some states the agricultural colleges
are hunting a market for the fruit
growers. In Kansas last fall the COL
lege brought together buyers and sell
ers for 400 cars Of apples. This has
taught the fruit grower he does not
have to depend on the local buyer
with his so or 100 per cent. profit, but
that he can sell his own crop this
way more easily than he raised it and
with resulting profits almost as great

hesitate to beat a single fruit grower

SWAP CHILDREN IN DENMARK
Curious System of Exchanging Little
Folk During Summer Months
Scheme Works Well.

In Denmark there is a curious sys
tenn OF exchanging children during the
summer The country people send
their little ones to the city people, and
the latter send theirs to the country.
The state delivers free tickets. and
the schoo1A 5end the children accord
ing to the OBLIGATIONS from families.
The children travel alone, each one
wearing ticket Of Identification
pinned on the jacket>or bodice. Should
any Of them go astray they are lodged
at the first station whilst inquiries are
made. The young travellers are met at
their destination by the peasants and
their wives.
Treated with afrectionate care by
these good hearted people, the children
often enjoy privileges they have never
known at home. There Is no severe
discipline nor irksome restraint. They
return home full of tales about their
adventures, and their mothers are de-
lighted to find them looking rosy
checked, fat, and healthy. The peas
ant women feed them well and often
make them fresh clothing.
The latter send their children into
the towns and volunteer guides show
them the monuments and sights. Last
year the principal restaurant keepers
at Copenhagen gave them a series OF
feats and organized little dancing par
ties for their amusement. Both cate
gories Of children benefit by this mode
Of exchange. which, it may be noted,
is conducted on inexpensive lines.

ROPE TRICK is "EXPLAINED''
English Writer Makes Explanation OF
Cunning ArtiTce-Does Not Ap-

The Indian rope trick, which no one
who has seen it performed has ever
satisfactorily explained, is explain
ed" by j. N. Maskelyne, an English
writer
Mr.. Maskelyne dismisses the trick
as follows: Indian conditions Of at
mosphere are necessary to the sue
cess of the trick. The spectators face
the setting sun and are sheltered
from it by an awning The rope used
is evidently jointed bamboo with the
joints made to lock. Up this rope
Or pole boy climbs to height Of
about 80 feet or so, till out of sight of
the people. Then he disappears" as
though into space.
What really happens, Mr.. Maskelyne
explains, is that the spectators are
blinded by the setting sun and that
the boy climbs up the pole or rope and
then drops quickly to the ground. Be-
fore the astonished onlookers know
anything about it he is covered up
with sheet.
at an explanation of the trick yet
made, but it will not appear conclusive
to all who have witnessed the per-
Torrance. The trick has been witness
ed at Khandalla-a hill station near
Bombay-and again at Delhi at mid
day, without any awning being used or
any effects but the rope.
