WILL YOU PLEASE
SWAT THAT FLY
CITY ATTORNEY AND OIL AND
GAS EDITOR OF THE ARDMORE-
ITE LEADERS IN CAMPAIGN.

The city attorney and the oil and
gas editor of this paper have inaug.
urated a campaign against the fly,
and believe us, they are some swat
ters to lead a brigade of willing war
riors against this pest. II every citi-
zen of the city will following their
leadership one may be able to sit
comfortably in the shade this summer
without having to call out the reserves
to battle with the fly for possession
Of his seat in the park. The pest is
the worst in years, and the good
citizens of Ardmore are beginning to
agitate a SWAT THE FLY" cam
paign, and are trying to interest each
and every merchant of the city in
placing fly traps at every door and
especially at every place where flies
congregate on account of the attrac-
tion of fruits or other attractive OBJ
iects.
1t was noticeable to those who
were upon the streets of the city last
night, that thousands of flies settled
upon the big and little show win
dows and in every nook and corner
of the store fronts.
The city officials have expressed
themselves as being heartily in favor
of the movement, and to the end that
same may be fully enforced they have
considered the advisability of not
only requiring netting and screens
as now provided by ordinance, but
are looking into the matter of pass
ing further ordinances that will re-
quire traps as well as a further
abatement to this pest, as well as
menace to the health of the city.
The good people who are behind
this movement earnestly urge that
the merchants take hold of this mat
ter A trap will cost but a few cents
and it will do untold good and be
the means of reducing the fly pest to
the lowest possible minimum.
Let's not confine this good work
to the merchants" said one man TO-
day. Let every citizen and every
home in the city take the same pre-
caution. We can utterly destroy this
pest if we will work in harmony, and
what untold misery and sickness will
be thereby prevented can only be
dreamed"
Awake, citizens of Ardmore.
Let's begin early in the matter.
"The Fly Must Co" Let this be
the city's slogan from now until win
ter comes

SOMETHING DOING
TONIGHT SURE
EITHER GET THE MONEY FOR
JOHN RlNGLlNG OR DROP OUT
OF THE RACE.

The bonus committee of the Ring
ling railroad have called for a meet
ing to be held at the Chamber of
Commerce tonight, and something is
going to be done one way or the 9th
er with the Ringing proposition say
the committee, or they are going to
stand from under and let the thing
drop out of their minds. The commit
tee recently appointed by Captain
Wilmington to assist the bonus COM
mittee have forgotten that they ever
were appointed and absolutely nothing
has been done according to a state
ment of a member of the bonus com
mittee, and the time has at last arriv-
ed when Ringing must be paid accord
ing to agreement, in order to compel
him to live up to his part of the agree
ment One member of the committee
stated this morning that the town
would appear ridiculous in the eyes
of the outside world, to demand of
Mr.. Ringing that he fulfill his part
of the contract to the letter, while the
citizens of the city have not complied
with over one-half of theirs. From the
general talk on the streets today there
is liable to be some warm argument
submitted tonight as the time has past
for meeting, appointing committees
and adjourning, something is going to
be definite tonight, state the bonus
committee or something is going to
drop and drop quick.
The meeting will be called to order
promptly at $50 and every member
Of the bonus committee is requested
to be there and as many citizens of the
city as are interested in this proposi-
tion.

HO!! k|DS!! FOR
THE CITY LAKE
WHITE PERCH GETTING TOO
PLENTIFUL, AND THE MAYOR
WILL BE ASKED TO ACT.

At the regular meeting of the city
commissioners, the mayor is going to
be asked by a delegation of fishermen
who delight in game fish to take the
away with the fishing permit for a
time ,and let the limit on white perch
be at least one bushel per pole. 1t
will be suggested that the city coun-
Gil furnish a few hundred kids, with
poles and lines, and turn them loose
at the city lake every day from now
until school convenes.
The reason for this is the fact that
white perch in the lake are getting
so numerous that they are eXtermi-
mating the young game fish and old
fishermen state if something is not
done quickly the white perch will
take possession of the lake. Some
handsome bass and trout have been
Caught in the city lake in the past,
and it has been stocked from time
to time from the government hatch
cries. For this reason the fishermen
argue the perch should be eXtermina-
ted as they are menace to game
fish.
There are several hundred boys who
delight in doing the eXterminating
act, as vacation time is on, and fishing
is about the best thing that a kid
does. With these young disciples of
Sir Isaac Walton scattered about the
shores of our source of water supply,
it is argued that the white perch fam
lily would be materially decreased be-
fore the school bells ring in Septem-
ber.
Just what action the city dads will
take in this matter is problematical,
but as they were all kids themselves
and in the past caught many

are that some real sport is in store

work in Mexican waters.
Secretary Daniels announced to-
night that he will recommend Rear

Admiral Fletcher will be promoted
from the command of the first diyis-
ion of the Atlantic fleet. He has been
in Mexico since the presence of Am
erican ships in those waters was first
called for, and his command Of the
situation during the whole time he
has been in charge has been master

great admiral, but a statesman and
