PERMANENT ROADS
CAN Be BUILT
WITH MATERIAL AT HAND, AS
DEMONSTRATED BY CoMMlS-
SloNeR YOUNG OF 6ERWYN.

Commissioner G. w Young of Ber
wyn has clearly demonstrated that
permanent roads can be built with
the material in hand The first move
that Mr.. Young made after securing
the money with which to build and i'm
prove the roads in his district, was to
secure the services of an engineer who
was practical road builder he then
went over the road to be improved
and showed the engineer just what he
wanted done, the work then started,
and notwithstanding the bad weather,
in less than ninety days some forty
miles of road had been put in fine
shape.
A larger portion Of these roads are
built to stay and they are really forty
mile per hour roads. even with w. A.
Gaines Ford, to say nothing of what
Commissioner Young can make with
his siX-cylinder
Concrete culyerts, both single and
double arches have been built that
will stand as a monument to Com
missioner Youngs' foresight for cen
turtles, and will not only be a thing Of
beauty and joy forever, but will safe
ly carry the heaviest compound trac-
tion engine that will ever travel the
road The committee who will have
charge Of the mending of the road
TO the oil fields, assures the Ardmore-
ite that they will follow the example
set by Commissioner Young, the com
mittee will go over the road with an
engineer and show him the improve
ments to be made and where they are
needed worst Then the engineer
will proceed to carry out their in
structions, keeping an accurate ac.
count Of the number of yards OF dirt
moved, the cost of drainage, the size
of the opening, and the material used
and cost of same, the grubbing Cf
stumps and the cost, in fact, will keep
a correct chart of all expenditures
and make a full and complete report
of all work done, together with the
cost of same. Then, those who have
contributed to this improvement fund
will know Just where every penny has
been spent With the assurance of
this work being done under this sys-
TEN, the money to do this much need
ed road mending will be easily raised

DANCER Turks
IN THE GAS
PEOPLE WARNED NOT TO BURN
FIRES AFTER RETIRING OR
IN LEAVING HOMES.

From some unknown cause the gas
in the homes of the city has been
cut off for an hour each night, gen
orally about one O'Clock in the morn
ing and it is very important that
persons who leave their homes -
night not to leave their gas burn
ing and it might be very dangerous
to leave gas burning at nights al
ter retiring
The gas company cannot account
for the prank played by the gas, but
the company desires tnat all per
sons whose homes are supplied with
gas do not leave the gas burning
at night. When the supply is shut
off and the fire is extinguished and
then comes on again a room will be
filled that may prove fatal to Sleep
ers or that might result in an eX-
plosion when a match is lighted in
the room.

SAFE BLOWERS

IN WORK LAST NIGHT. MAKE A
GOOD HAUL.

Safe blowers are in the city, or
rather, were in the city last night and
the safe at the Excersior Steam Laun-
dry was forced and about 800 in
cash and some checks were taken.
The yeggs then attempted to do bust
ness at Tyler & Simpsons, but were
frightened away after effecting an en-
trance to the office. The combination
of the safe at the Excelsior Steam
Laundry was smashed with a chisel
and sledge and the inner money box
demolished with the same instruments
the safe, small affair is a total
wreck. The operators left their tolls
in this place, a sledge, some chisels,
and punches that are now in the hands
of the police. Entrance was gained
through side window At Tyler e
simpsons entrance was made through
the front window by cutting the
screen and breaking the glass, the
yeggs avidently thought some one was
laying for them at this place, as the
outer door of the vault was left open
and they departed without attempting
an assault upon the strong box.
Sheriff Garrett and his deputies,
and Chief of Police Booker and the
patrolmen are working on the case,
hut thus far there is no clue.

MONEY LESSONS
IN BANK AD
FIRST NATIONAL BANK WILL
PUBLISH A POPULAR SERIES
TWO DAYS A WEEK.

With the purpose IN view of edu-
eating the people concerning the pro
visions of the new currency law, the
First National Bank of Ar1more has
entered into a contract with The
Ardmoreite for the use of twenty
four inches of space two days a
week in which to publish a digest
and discussion cf this important
measure.
These discussions will be publish
ed twice a week until the subject
has been thoroughly handled. A law
of this nature necessarily has many
technical terms that the ordinary
reader of a newspaper does not un-
derstand and they fcrego the read
ing and study of the entire bill.
But this bank will publish sections
of the law with proper explanations
and when the series has been com
pleted those who have kept up with
'h'Hh VIII nave SoOu hhO"i'uSo Va
the currency law and a much better
knowledge than if one should under
take to ferret out the meaning for
himself.
The people are to be congratula-
ted that the series of readers will
be published. The information can
be depended upon and the person
who KEEPS up with them will be well
repaid for the time spent in their
study.
