the Minnesota crops have run over the
average production for the country. Spring
wheat showed thirteen per cent over the
average, and this in spite of the feeling
that wheat has been cropped out in Min
nesota; potatoes fourteen per cent and corn,
thirty per cent. All of which means more
stMinnesotas to be built.

The cost of selling shoes is something
fierce. Take ten men on the road, each
carrying 200 different samples or 1000

pairs for the year. All of which must be
sold at less then cost. And why all this
waste? Simply because customers demand
new styles something new to strike the

HURRAH FOR MURRAY.

The Hon. ". T. Murray, he who
holds the nomination for governor OF
the great state Of Oklahoma N his
vest pocket and who has so declared
himself, is now appearing in another
role. Bill is spelling TO see the
United States at war with Mexico. He
demands that the president shall at
once step in and BY force Of arms
annex Mexico, kill all OF her people,
draw and quarter her government
officials and wipe it of the map OF
North America.
We have not got much sympathy
with Mexico, but ye gods and little
fishes, Look who yells for war!
OF course Bill would shoulder the
musFet OF course he would resign
his seat in congress and give up all
OF his ambitions OF be governor or
United States senator for the privi-
lege of shouldering a musket and
shedding his blood for his country.
In fact, Bill doubtless could fix 1t 50
that no other blood be shed but his.
He will see to it that the great army
of the republic which OF course he
wants TO send 20 Mexico would have
splendid outing in the balmy air
OF that country and every man jack
OF them would return refreshed and
strengthened from his experience.
Ye Gods. Oh, Stuff, Oh, Piffle'
Shut up. Bill, and try and talk sense.
BE satisfied, man, with your own
supreme confidence in your ability
to be governor of Oklahoma.

WILL NEW ROAD HELP?

Things are beginning to look up
There is scarcely a desirable house
in the city that Is not occupied. prop
erty has begun to change hands In the
CITY and the real estate men say that
the farm demands are growing. A
number OF investors are here. Prop
er4y in Ardmore has never been very
cheap but the sales have been slow.
Ardmore never had a citizen who dld
not have a great deal Of confidence
I'M the city and they have not been
willing to sacrifice their properoy dur
ing the days when prices were held
low by conditions that could not De
overcome. The building OF the rail-
way shows and the making OF this
city a division point on the new line
of road will add to the city's pop
ulation will create demand for more
houses ami the railway connection to
the best will result in more whole
sale and jobbing houses and IN the
establishment here of many Offices
such as life insurance companies, loan
companies, etc, which could not be
conveniently located here with no con =
nection with the west.
The fear OF loss by cutting off the
retail trade will vanish just as quickly
as the road is built. 1t Is true that
good towns will be built at Hewitt and
Cornish and much better towns than
now exist will be built at Lone Grove
and Joiner but with all that the pop
ulation on the west side will be built
up and much OF the best trade will

come to Ardmore. Here IS another
feature that enters into the situation.
As many people as now reside in the
entire county can live in Morgan
township alone. Within a radius Of
ten miles OF Ardmore We
can raise more farm pro-
ducts than is raised now in the entire
county. Lands everywhere are lying
idle. With the better facilities and
the better markets these lands VIII
be placed in state Of cultivation.
Added to this population near the town
will be at least fifty per cent more
reople in the city Of Ardmore. Many
more salaried men will be here, more
travelling men will reside here than
formerly. Ardmore will be the home Of
the home offices OF the Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Pacific. This alone
will mean the construction Of hand
some office building and the employ
ment Of many men and women in the
offices. The western railroad will be
the making Of Ardmore, it will trans
form it from an oyergrown country
town into a city.

Books for the Children

Care must be taken in the stories
We give to growing children that evil

very real to boys and girls and In
nuence their character. There shoulS
be effort and conflict In their storiei
and daring endurance and steadfas'
purpose. Stories in which the child
hero acts rightly are particularly
valuable. because what a boy or girl
has done appeals more directly to the
childs OVID power. He feels though
he may not express it even to bin
self that what other children have
done he can do.
