M. D. SMITH
Real Estate and Loans.

Mr.. M. ID. Smith came to Ardmore
a few years ago from Mortified, Yer
mont where he was engaged in the
banking business. He was the organ
izer of the Northfield Trust company,
one of that city's leading financial en-
terprises. He was also prominent po-
litically in his home town, being a
member of the Vermont legislature in
1902. He is a graduate of the Nor
wich university, class 1881, one of the
leading military colleges, and was a
trustee of that institution for several
years.
Mr. Smith is prominent among the
leading land and loan men of Ard
more today. He believes in square
dealing with his fellow man and
makes friends among his patrons. He
is strongly backed financially, and is
fully prepared to carry out to the
letter any contract he may make in
the handling of any real estate trans
action or in the loan of money.
A feature of Mr.. Smiths popularity
and success is his progressive dispo-
sition. Although he has land for sale
all over the country, he is pushing his
home county to the front, in prefer
ence to all other localities. AS a
consequence he has made every effort
to induce homeseekers and investors
to put their money in Carter county
real estate, and there are few, if any,
men in Ardmore who have been the
direct means of bringing more settlers
into this locality than has Mr.. NJ. D.
Smith.
There Is no one man in the city
more to be appreciated as a success
full business man and loyal citizen
than is Mr.. Smith. That his many
friends, both here and in his former
home will be pleased to see The
Ardmoreite give him the prominence
and distinction he justly deserves,
goes without saying. Our city's past
progress and standing has been
brought about largely through the
efforts of such wide
awake business men and industrious
citizens as Mr. Smith has proved him
self to be.
He is one of those genial gentle
men who people are glad to meet, and
he is one of those men that newspaper
men are not afraid to talk about" for
he has habit Of making good and
never puts the "scribes" in bad with
the public. He. is president of the
Oil company. one of the
large companies who own valuable
eases in the Healdton oil field.

he was appointed attorney for the Pull
man Palace Car Co, for northern In
diana.
Mr.. Fish came to Oklahoma about
seven years ago and went into the
farm loan business having had pre-
viously to his moving here six years
experience in making loans in Okla
homa. His frs loans made here were
for large English Company of Lon
don. After loaning over two million
dollars during these years, he had
but one foreclosure to make. He has
clients all over the United States to
whom he sells mortgages. His business
is increasing rapidly and he is extend
ing his territory for making loans.

DARKEN
YOUR GREY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and No
body Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother
time. She urged it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and abundant.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at lone IS mussy and
out-of-date Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a 50-cent bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com.
pound" you will get this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty TO
the hair and is splendid for dandruf,
dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after anoth-
er application or two it becomes beau
tifully dark, glossy and abundant.

Bear Hunting.

Among the sports of India fs the capturing of bears, and to this end curious means are sometimes de- vised For example, four or five sturdy men are armed two with long spears cross barred on the handles close to the sharp two-edged blade. and two or three with ten-foot bamboos, of which the ends are smeared with bird-lime
 These hunters sally forth with dogs before dawn. They pass along the base of the hills with the fresh morn ing wind blowing up the plains below. Should the hunters be lucky it is not long before the dogs wind the bear The dogs are slipped and disappear in the semi darkness. Soon the roar ing and growing indicate that they have found the game. The hunters run up to the spot where the bear is fighting with the dogs The men with the lined poles poke the bear in the ribs and adroitly twist the ends in it's long hair, thus holding it fast on each flank. The spearmen complete the operation by repeated spear thrusts.

PROPER FEEDING OF TREE
Gardeners Should Understand Just How Much Susteranee 1t Is
 Necessary to Supply.

Every gardener knows that tree can be fed and made to grow with in- creased vigor Ii proper nourishment in the form of humus. nitrogen, phos- phate. etc. be placed about it's roots the tree will absorb this food and grow rapidly and strongly.
 But how the tree feeds is somewhat more difficult to explain. In all prob ability the tree dgests it's food first and consumes it afterward. Certain it is that the average tree has no means of consuming food as a whole, as mem bers of the animal kingdom absorb it. It is well known that the larvae of certain insects digest their food first and consume it afterward Observation would indicate that this is exactly what the tree does The tiny rootlets act on the substances in the earth, dissolYing and breaking them up so they can be absorbed through the root pores. In order so to be taken up the chemicals must be in lipiid form and devoid of all waste.
 The end of each root is armed with a horny substance with which 1t can burrow through the hard soil in search of food. When food is found it is dis solved into liquid and absorbed by the root fibers. From the root the food is carried by the sap to all parts of the tree.
