To say that the great double au
tomobile. premiums and gold contest
which starts off tomorrow, is grow
ing interesting, would be stating facts
very mildly. The big contest is al
ready assuming large proportions;
much larger than at first anticipated,
and before the week passes there
will be all manner of excitement for
everybody concerned.
Nominations are now being receiv-
ed IN every mail by the Contest Ed
itor, and several persons have already
called at the contest office to learn
more about the great campaign, and
nominate themselves or to place some
lady friend in nomination.
One young lady in particr'ar came
in with breezy air, and a.,er ask
ing a few questions, called for sub.
scription receipt books, and immedi-
ately started out to secure subscrip-
tions and votes, remarking as she
slammed the office door on her way
out: 81 am sure going into this con-
test to win, and to win one of those
Ford touring cars" And. no doubt
she will let the world know she is
in the running, even if she should
not win the premium she is deter
mined to win.
Two or three other candidates 50
far have expressed themselves very
emphatically as wanting one of
those delightful summer trips to the
mountains, and are already lining up
their friends for genuine battle OF
ballots.
Every Prize Is Worth Effort.
No newspaper in Oklahoma, or even
the Southwest, has ever offered an
array of prizes. considering the field
and conditions, such as are presented
in The Ardmoreite's great double
automobile contest. No newspaper
has ever conducted a campaign en-
bodying the same rules, which are
simple to extremes, no newspaper has
ever attempted to put on a contest
with as much or even half the liber-
alty that this contest embraces

ties. Any person, no matter how
skeptical, will at once see that the
merits and popularity of each AMI
every candidate together with the
earnest work put forth, will and IS
bound to carry them on and upward

Ladies Only" Popular.
Although the contest editor is not
overly strong on "woman's suffrage"
he believes in giving the ladies their
rights, and particularly in campaign
of this ntaure. Heretofore, it seems,
newspaper campaigns somewhat sim
itlar in name only, have been open
to everyone and the ladies who did
faithful work throughout the cam
paign were handicapped by the men
in the contests. In this instance it
can be seen that the ladies' have
everything their own way, and how
we'll each one succeeds remains en-,
tirely with them.

to the home as a cook stove; it gen.

Louisville, Ky, March 91.-With
the Ohio river rising gradually here
all day. Louisville tonight was ready
TO meet the crest, due here early to-
morrow. AS the day closed with a rise
that averaged less than a tenth OF
a foot an hour, the indications were
that the crest would not register much
above forty-five feet, if it went that
high.
The strength of a stiff wind lash
ing the flood waters into waves added
TO the damage already done in the
lowlands surrounding the city. In

had been partially submerged by the
storm became loosened from their

THE CHAPMAN PICNIC.

Last week We published an interesting re-
port, from the pen of one of the guests, of the
gathering of members of the Maine Music
festival choruses at the summer home of Prof.
Chapman in Bethel, where they were most de-
lightfully entertained. FIR m report in the
Bethel News We quote as follows:
Lunch finished, Prof. Chapman rose to greet
the members and he was never more enthusi-
astically received. Then came Mrs Chap
man, the dynamo Of the Maine Festival, who
told them IN her own charming way how glad
she was TO have them with her and read this
bit of verse INCH she had composed for the
occasion:
They say % always means skiddoo
But this is not sniddoo for any of you.
It's skidooo to tr1 uble and worry and ca e,
It's hurrah for the picnic in Bethel's pure air,
It's welcome to the pure Lands, to mountain
and stream
It's three cheers for the Festival of which e
now dream.
May the memory of Bethel this day en- our
farm
Be always pleasure AID may nothirg of
harm
Cone to any Gear ore, who is with US to-
day;
May blessings and pleasure attend US Away

tonight,
Breathe prayer for your farmer conductor

And with voice and heart. as you've oft
done before,

May this seventeenth Festival be greatest
of all;
May We all meet to sing in this glorious Fall.
So adieu for the present, not goodbye, We
say,
And thank you for coming to greet US today"
Mrs. Chapman then read the following let
ter from Nine. Schumann Heink, beloved of
days ago.

DIFFER IN THEIR DRINKS.

Somehow or other the Wilson Admins
tration just cannot agree on the subject
of drink. Further disruption came to
light last week with the discovery that
William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the
Treasury, is buttermilk fan. William
]. Bryan, Secretary of State, insists on
grape juice. President Wilson, on the
other hand, thinks nothing will do but
orange juice. But Mr.. McAdoo casts
these two beverages aside with scorn.
Twice every day Mr.. McAdoo's door
tender serves a glass of fresh butter
milk in the Secretary's private office.
This is one of the doortender's chief du-
ties, and he is punctual, arriving prompt

A NEW WAY TO CAN FRUIT.

Following is a little article entitled
"A New Way to Can Fruit" taken
from the August Woman's Home Com
panlon:
Within the past year | have become
greatly interested in the practical bull
letins sent out by the Department of
Agriculture. The one which has been of
most value in discovering to me new
way Of performing an age-old duty is
Farmers Bulletin No. 203, on Canned
Fruit, Preserves, and Jellies." by Miss
Maria Parloa. 1t tells how to can fruit
by cooking it in the oven.
"This method has in its favor the fol-
lowing points: (n 1t is quick and easy;
(2) the fruit rem aims whole, and is eX-
ceptionally beautiful in form and color;
81 the goodness remains in the fruit,
and the syrup is not too rich.
1.-The jars are sterilized by boiling
them for fifteen minutes. Into them
while still hot, the clean fruit is packed,
and over the fruit a boiling syrup is pour
ed.
For a given and actual amount of
cleaned fruit allow halt as much sugar,
and the same amount of water as sugar,
to make the syrup. For instance, if
when your Strawberries are hulled and
picked over you have twelve full quarts
of fruit, by measure, then make syrup
of six quarts of sugar and six quarts of
water. The water may be poured on the
sugar either hot or cold, and it should be
stirred until the sugar is thoroughly dis
solved. Boil for about fifteen minutes.
1t is a safe rule to be sure to make plenty
of syrup of these proportions; for if any
is left, 1t may be sealed up and used with
the next batch of fruit, or it may be
boiled down and eaten with pancakes.
The syrup may be made on the day be-
fore the canning and be reheated while
the jars are sterilizing.
81 purchased at hardware store for
thirty-fve cents piece of asbestos cut
so that it exactly fits the oven floor of
my range. This l slip in just before l
begin to fill my jars. When the jars are
filled with the fruit, and syrup has been
poured in up to the neck of the jar. l set
them into the oven, which is fairly hot,
not covered and not touching each other.
The oven is then closed, and they are
left in for ten minutes, or until the fruit
is soft. The jars are then removed, and,
if not full, filled to the brim with boiling
syrup and sealed in the usual way"

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER

In the crowded haunts of men,
Heart-weary of building and spelling,
And spoiing and building again.

Where dreamed my life away;
For dreamer lives forever,
And toiler dies in day.
l can find no pride. but pity,
For the burdens the rich endure:
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor.
Oh, the little hands are skillful,
And the child mind choked with weeds
A daughters heart grown wilful
And the fathers hear. that beeds.

From the trophies of mart and stage

And the meadows kindly page

And be loved for the dream alway:
For the dreamer lives forever,
And the toier dies in a day,

The ideal carriage horse is the
American trotting bred horse, with
size, speed, courage, and the true
trotting gait, with plenty of knee and
hook action. In addition he 4 must
have clean cut head and neck, style
and finish, plenty of substance with

Recognizing the demand for this
class of horses, selected Taylor Sim
mons 23489, a young horse which fills
all the requirements of the typical
carriage horse. If the theory that
like begets like be true, he will
produce horses of this type when
mated with good mares. Through his
veins flow the blood of the greatest
trotting families. He traces twice to
George Wilkes and five times to Mann

stout thoroughbred blood of Boston.
