stocked with the finny tribe, so that
there will be a plentiful supply of
fish, fresh from the lake, for the
big feed to be rendered the editorial
association members. The club house
at the lake is a cozy handsome
structure. and this will be turned
over to the editors and their wives
for the day.
If the present plans are carried
out, a feature of the fish fry will be
that it will be served by the prettiest
and most prominent young ladies of
Ardmore. This feature was suggest
ed at the recent meeting to formu-
late plans and Immediately it was
favored and adopted, and both Pres
ident Foster and Secretary West
of the Commercial club are pledged
to see that it is carried out. The
young ladies will be among the fish
ermen, too, who will go to the
Chickasaw lake at an early hour on
the morning of May 9 and cast their
nets and lines for enough fish to
fry to satisfy the editorial appetites.
A number of the young ladies are
understood to be expert fishers and
these will Join the country club mem
bers at the lake and fish during the
morning hours.
A Three Days Session.
The editorial convention, as usual,
will consume three days time, the
business sessions to be intermingled
with pleasure trips and social events
While the business session, as a rule,
will be held in the city of Ard
more, the plan is to have the final
session at the Chickasaw lake during
the afternoon of Saturday, May 9,
closing with the election of officers
for the ensuing year. The programl
will be so planned that while the
members are balloting for president
and other officers, their appetites
will be whetter with the scent of the
frying fish on the shore. If this part
of the program goes through as
scheduled, it will he perhaps the
shortest period of time ever kno%n
in the history of the association for
the election of officers.
With the business sessions ended |
and the fish fry over with, the edit
ors and their wives will be turned |
over the next day, to Col. John Ring
ling of circus fame, and Jake /.
Hamon, president and vice president
respectively of the Oklahoma. New
Mexico & Pacific Railroad for trip
to the Wilson Healdton oil fields,
which at that time will be just three
of a year old. The plan Of
Mr.. Hamon, who is also the roads
manager, is to have a bar
becue prepared and the editors serg-
ed in the oil field.
The oil field trip will be an all day
affair, including stop at the city
of Wilson and visits TO all points OF
interest in the fields. Expert oil
operators, drillers, tool dressers and
other experienced men in the fields
will accompany the visiting editors
in order to explain all the workings
of a big oil producing community.
The big $1,000 barrel oil tanks OF
the Magnolia Pipe Line company, |
the method used-the CAVITY system
in filling them, and how the oil is
then pumped several hundred miles
of pipe line to the gulf-all this
will be fully and completely explain
ed, so that every newspaper man
who is present will understand 70
the uttermost and for evermore just
what an oil field and all its work
.ngs really mean.
Will Invite Other State Editors.
1t is the oil field visit idea, too
that led to the proposition to invite
the newspaper men of other states,
and in particular the editors of the
papers of the west, to
attend the Ardmore convention and
visit the oil fields. A canvass of the
men of Oklahoma devel-
Dped the fact that only a small por-
ton of them had ever visited an
oil field, Notwithstanding the fact
