House Cleaning With a VACUUM
Cleaner.

Cleaning house with vacuum
cleaner means a sanitary, clean home,
absolute cleanliness always, and at
saving over the old method clean
ing
1t means chat the life of rugs and
carpets will lengthen at least one
third in addition to lessening the labor
| one half.
Tie Ardmoreite again calls atten-
ton to it's offer, embracing the Ma
tional Vacuum Cleaner, and three
months subscription, and especially
suggests that those of the residents
of Ardmore who have not already TAX
IN advantage of it would do well not
to defer it longer as the offer viii.
be withdrawn shor ly.
Contagious diseases, such as con-
sumption, pneumonia. scarlet fever,
| diphtheria and la grippe are sp cad
| by the germs in dust and dirt Tie
most effective manner to avoid this
danger is to subscribe to the Ard
moreite, if you are not already SUD-
scriber. and secure a National Vac
uum Cleaner.
1t is suggested that the housekeeper
estimate what a vacuum cleaner
means to the home, aside from good
health and cleanliness How it saves
the wall paper, the woodwork ano
curtains-not only in the care neces-
sary to keep them clean-but in thi
appearance and wear on them.
The broom becomes obsolete where
the vacuum cleaner is installed and
the danger of acquiring a throat or
lung disease is reduced to mini
mum.
The National Vacuum Cleaner which
Is offered by The Ardmoreite as an
inducement to persuade you to read
this paper il you are not already a
subscriber. and il you are, to induce
you to continue reading it. is the best
hand operated vacuum cleaner ever
constructed at any price and gnaran-
teed for a year.
Every housekeeper In Ardmore
should be equipped with vacuum
cleaner and The Ardmoreite is Ger
tainly offering the residents of this
city and vicinity grand opportunity
to secure one at an enormous saw

through the influence of the demon
stration work in the past three years
! 1t amounts to not only thousands but
! tens of thousands of dollars. And
last, but not least, is our club work
among the boys and girls. We have
hundreds Of boys and girls who have
cultivated plots Of land according to
| instruction sent from the department
of agriculture. The lessons that
they have learned means many M
to date farmers for Carter and Love
counties. These boys and girls have
woL many valuable prizes, beside.
making many surprising yields on
their plots of land. Here are some
of the names and amounts grown by
the boys:
In 1910 Floyd Gayer of Carter
county grew SO bushels of corn on
one acre and won Senator Cores
free trip to Washington. In 1912 ten
club boys of Love county won $50
of the Oklahoma State Fair Associ-
alton, being the fourth best club OF
ten in the state of Oklahoma. l..
1912 Delos Flanagan of Love county
made 1l5 bushels on one acre, and
won 500 from the State Fair Asso.
ciation Ralph Flanagan of Love
county made SO bushels on one acre
Dick Mckee of Love county made 81
bushels on one acre. Liner Wisdom
of Carter county made SO bushels
on ONE acre. George Heron of Car
ter county made SO bushels on one
acre.
Again we have the honor of send
ing a representative to Washington
Earnest Worthy of Baum, Okla, has
won the free trip to Washington
this year offered by the Cotton Seed
Crushers' Association. He made
2,S79 pounds of seed cotton on ona
d,iC, vi o,'co pOuiiuS VII iWo dNico'
1t turned out 43.3 per cent lint He
made $62,17 clear profit on one acre,
or $124.34 on two acres.
Since | have been in Oklahoma,
four boys have gone to Washington
from this state. Two of them were
from Carter county. What we de
sire in the future above all things rs
cooperation, not only of farmers, but
Of merchants and bankers and bus
mess men, so that the demonstration
work will progress more rapidly III
the next three years.

culture. to teach to preach the
principles of scientific farming ID
all who will listen, while there are
some people in the country who Will
not take advantage Of this freely
given advice, yet ir every commn-
nifty there are some liberal minded
men who not only listen but believe
and practice these scientific truths.
Here are some facts concernit 9
this demonstration work taken from
my records: had in the year 1917
32 demonstrators in cotton with a
total acreage of 291; these demon.
strators averaged on POI acres 1908
pounds OF seed cotton per acre, max
ing in all 293,6l9 pounds seed cot
ton, which was worth 1915 per
hundred pounds. Total value of
demonstration cotton, l,000.7l.
Nearby farmers to demonstration
plots who did not cultivate their
cotton by demonstration methods,
made according to their own state
ments, an average of $40 pounds of
seel cotton per acre, thus aggre.
amodnt my demonstrators cultivated
made liS,410 pounds seed cotton.
which at the average price of 1915
per hundred, brought the total sun
OF $5,56537 The difference between
the demonstrators cotton and the
nearby farmer who d1 not cultivate
his cotton accordingly. is $5,43434.
| had % demonstrators in corn,
with a total acreage of 259 acres,
which averaged Al bushels to the
acre. These 259 acres produced 10,-
SO bushels of corn. worth s5,i0S
Nearby farmers on similar land
according to their own statements
averaged 2l bushels per acre, making
on 259 acres 3,430 bushels, worth
$1.7l9-a difference on corn demon

base line, ready to go to third bat
the instant he saw the ball hit Gran
ey's hands he took it for granted the
outfielder would hold it and dug back

could not make any kind Of a throw

Consequently, when the ball was muff-
ed Weaver was going the wrong way.
He had to stop. turn and break for
third. and in the time required for
that Chapman recovered the BAH and
retired Weaver at third. But for that
the Sox would have had men on first
and third, nobody out ana only three
runs needed to tie. Instead they had
a man on first and one out, on a
double and single in succession.

FOURTH CAR IS
Entered in
RACE
THE "GRAY FOX" WILL ENDEAVoR
TO WIN INDIANAPOLIS
SPEED EVENT

Indianapolis, Ind, oct. 9.-'Ihe re-
entry by Frank P. Fox, an Indianapo-
,;e sportsman, of his especially con-
structed flier, known as the "Gray
Fox" in the next indianapolis 5C0-
mile race at the motor speedway,
marks the fourth car to register for
that event practically a year ahead
of time Anticipating a tremendous
rush of entrants, Fox decided to get
to the barrier as soon as possible. He
was beaten to it only by Maurice
Thompson. of Battle Creek, Mich,
who signed up with his Anel few
days ago, and the stutz factory, which
nominated two machines not "a hours
afterward
Though his car bears the same
name and approximately the same ex-
terror as 1t did last year, Fox says it
is vastly improved affair. The chief
alteration is found in the motor,
which has been enlarged from SS9.9 to
4S1.9 cubic inches by boring out the
cylinders. The stroke remains un-
changed. Final measurements are
.5x51s. giving practically square fir
ing chamber, said to be very fast.
With a tightening in weight all
around Of more than 200 pounds, Fox
claims he will have one of the speed
lest boats on the track.
Last year the car finished sixth,
running steadily end consistently,
though not at preat speed, all the
way. Its average was 67.62 miles per
hour for the entire cietqnce, including
stops. Once it has be,n rebuilt,

lished at Pablo Beach, Fla in 1911,
and the speedway lap record, 1876,
made the year following-if Wilcox
is willing. Experience has proved,
Fox claims, that established combina-
tions work best. He is therefore,
loathe to risk shakeup unless the abb

sHNFER is wlNNER

Albuquerque, oct. 1O.--It took Har-
ry Shafer, the Cheyenne lightweight,
less than four rounds last night to
demonstrate conclusively that he was
master of John kid Aanaya. Early
in the fourth round Of their 1O-round
bout Shafer tented with his left and
caught Anaya with a terrific right
hook sending the Indian to the can
vas for the count Of ten. It was sew
eral minutes before Anaya knew what
had happened. The knockout was
one Of the cleanest ever seen in a
local arena.
The Shafer-Anaya bout Was the
main event Of card staged by Di-
rector Mark Levy Of the New Mexico
"A. q, for state fair visitors and local
fans. However, the crowd was small.
In the seminal, johnny (Kid) Will
liams of Denver and Harry Atwood,
the much-touted featherweight, stalled
thro-gh eight rounds, the bout being
called a draw.
IN the curtain raiser Mike Baca
Of Santa Fe and Benny Carson Of
Albuquerque boxed a Ground draw,
which also was comparatively tame.
George Hodges. who officiated as
referee in the three bouts, got away
very good and his decisions were sat
isfactory. Hodges endeavored to keer
the boys going to give the fans run
for their money and in return be was
accidentally hooked several times b

so he took his time chasing the ball
and the two runners came over the
plate. He was bitterly surprised
when the umpire let the runs count,
refusing to allow sullivan's claim that
the ball hit Howell, although calling
him out on the missed third strike
because there was a runner at first.
Sullivan knew the ball hit Howell, and
took it for granted the umpire did.
Ever afterward sully got the ball first
and the umpire's decision later.
Lee Tannehill once struck out on a
groove ball "over the heart" Such a
ball gets away from a catcher only
once season probably, but that one
did and rolled far enough TO have let
Tanny reach first base easily. Lee
turned and walked to the bench until
wised up his teammates, and then it
was too late. What he heard from
President Comiskey later about that
play reminded him always thereafter
to run to first base on any old thing,
including a missed third strike.
Buck Weaver in a game against the
Athletics this year, was confident he
tagged Eddie Collins at second base
for the third out Of the inning, and
rolled the ball back on the grass to-
ward the pitchers slab But the
umpire had called the runner safe
at second, and Rube Oldring, who
was on third, raced home with the
run that robbed the White Sox Of
victory. His tally tied the score, and
