WANT T0PAY
THE CITY DADS
MORE MONEY
INCREASE THEIR COMPENSA.
TloN TO $500 PER INSTEAD OF
EIGHT AS AT PRESENT.

Ever since the city government was
changed from the old aldermanic form
to the present, there has been COM
plant that the pay of the commits
sioners was not high enough to in
duce good business men to take hold
of the city's affairs, and that one
feature was the weak spot in the
present charter. Several weak at
tempts have been made to remedy
this defect but nothing ever came
of the effort. Now there is another
movement on foot to increase the
pay of the city commissioners from
$500 to $500 per month, a petition
has been prepared and is being cor
culated by G. w. Ritter and others
and is being readily signed by the
tax payers of the city who insist in
most cases that the. compensation
should be fifty dollars instead of
twenty five. The text of the petition
and the manner in which the pro-
vision may be brought about is set
forth below and is the text of the pc
tition being circulated
To the Mayor and Board of Commits
sioners of the City of Ardmore,
Oklahoma:
Gentlemen:
Wa undarciUnnd untarc and
residents of the city of Ardmore, Ok
lahoma, do hereby urge, request, and
demand that you cause to be sub
mitted to the qualified electors Of
said city of Ardmore, the proposed
act herein following to be voted upon
at such time and in such manner as
provided by law, said proposition be-
ing substantially as follows, to-wit:
Shall proposed amendment No 3,
approved at special election held
March 10th, 1913, be so amended
by striking out the words, leach
member of the board of commission
ers shall be allowed and paid the
sum of $500 for each and every
meeting he shall personally attend,
said meeting to be held at least once
each week. Provided, that no mem
Der of said board of commissioners
shall receive for his services a sum
to exceed $1040O per year." and in
serting in lieu thereof. Each mem
Der of the board of commissioners
shall receive the sum of $500 per
month for their services as such
commissioner"
But two have announced as can
didates for commissioners so far,
Carter as commissioner from the first
and Slaughter as commissioner from
the fourth wards will not be in the
race according to reports, Carter is
already a candidate for chief OF po-
lice and Slaughter, it is reported, will
not accept the job under any consid-
Grafton. so there is two to be provid-
ed for Fraley from the second and
Hoard from the third, will probably
have no opposition as they are both
well .versed in the affairs of the city
and are both capable men in whom
the tax payerc have confidence, sew
eral have limited that they might be
induced to make the race in the
other two wards but so far no an
nouncements have been received.

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up WORKOUT
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing TO take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood making oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
sionaftersickness. Nurseseverywhere

EVEN CROSS, SICK CHILDREN LOVE
 SYRUP OF FIGS
Lf feyerish, bilious, cOnstipated, give
 fruit laxative at once.

Don't scold your fretful, peevish child. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign it's little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with sour waste.
 When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom- ach- ache, indigestion, diarrheoa, give teaspoonful of California Syrup Of Figs" and ill few hours all the foul waste, the sour bile and fermenting food passes out of the bowels and you have well and playful child again. Children love this harmless fruit laxative" and mothers can rest easy after giving it, because it never fails to make their little "insides" clean and sweet.
 Keep it handy, Mother! A little given today saves a sick child to- morrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs which has directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. Remember there are counterfeits sold here, so surely look and see that yours is made by the California Fig Syrup Company. Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup.

DEVELOPMENTS OF
 SENSATIONAL NATURE
These Are Promised to Re Unfolded in the Next Episodes of
 "ZudOra."

Sensational developments are prom ised in the new episodes of "Zudora,' , the story which is being printed ;n serial form in The Graphic each Sun day, the day preceding the presenta- tion of the episode for the week as the Best theatre The carly episodes of the photoplay are constructed to lead up to some of the most remark able pieces of acting in the history of motion pictures.
 James Curze, who is taking the leading masculine role ill "Zudora," !" will be shown in a dual character more powerful than that portrayed by Richard Mansfield in ''Dr. .jekyIl and Mir. Hyde.' This transformation starts with episode No. ,. appearine in tomorrow's issue of The Graphic and to be shown iat the Pes. theatre Monday, aud reaches climax in epi- sode No. 3. It will hold readers and audiences spell-bound, according to statements from people who have read and seen these chapters.
 The portrayal of the hero will be one of tho most sensational things in motion nictures. In this part, he will eclipse his best work as Jimmie Nor ton in the Million Dollar Mystery"
 The new sensations in "Zudora' will come with such startling rapidity ard such multitude of thrills that followers of the story will be keyed to the highest pitch of expectancy. <

WILL DESIGNATE CITY PRIMARY DATE
County Democratic Central Committee Is Called to
 Meet Next Wednesday.

l.. w. Clements. chairman, and JC Nichol secretary, of the Democratic county central committee, yesterday issued call for a meeting of the committee. to fix date for the city Democratic primary election. The call is a follows:
 The Democratic Central Commit tee of Jefferson County is hereby called to meet in the courthouse in the city of Pine Bluff, Jefferson county, Arkansas, on the 18th day ol January, 1915, at II o'clock, a. m. of saidday. Said meeting is for the purpose of providing for the holding of a city primary election for the nomination of rlayor and other city officers for the city of Pine Bluff for the next ensuing two years.
 All members of the Democratic central committee of Jefferson coun- ty are urged to be present at that time."
 The meeting of the central commit tee and the fixing of the date for the primary is expected to bring to a head the political movements which have been quietly developing for some time past. So far as can be asccr- tained, however there is little like lihood of any opposition for munich pal offices, except, perhaps, in the aldermanic races.
 Mayor Simon Bloom has already an- nounced it as his intention to make the race to succeed himself, as has also City Judge J. K. Stewart. Iu neither of these races is there expect ed to be any opposition. Virtually all the aldermen whose terms expire this year will try for reelection, but while there are whispers of opposi- tion in some of these races, notn1ng definite has been obtanable.

NO FUNDS 10 PAY
 THE LEGISLATORS
State Has $2,0cG.745 a. Hand, But None Is in Gen
 eral Revenue T'una.

G,t,,e Rock, jan. S.-According to the quarterly report of the state
 treasurer. for the three months ending
 Dee. 31, there is a total of $2064 ,2l5.-
 19 in all kinds Of funds in the state
 treasury. Of this amount there is only $97.744.45 in currency. and Of this
 there was only $275.40 in the general
 revenue fund, available for the pay
 ment of current expenses.
 There are about twenty different
 funds. the chief among which are ::
 Common school, $55,742.O9; state cap ital $260SO.53 forest reserve. S1G.- 472.69; Confederate pensions, $11,141,-
 49; sinking, $47.520.33: highway inn provement $S,707.39.
 One of the interesting questions arising at this time is where the leg islature will get the funds with which to nay its expenses, since there is nothing in the general revenue fund. It is understood that $25.000 of the back taxes recently paid by the Cot
 ton Belt will be applied to that pur- pose But the legislative session of sixty days will cost about $S0,000. It has been suggested that the sinking fund and the fertilizer fund may be borrowed as has been done hereto fore, which would provide ample funds with which to run the general assembly. The legislature never has
 been at a loss for providing money
 with which to pay it's mileage and per diem. The fact that ii will meet fac l ing deficit in the general revenue of nearly three quarters of million will spur it up to more determined effort for the solution of the general .tinan- l cial problem.

SELLING ON SUNDAY.
Governor Doesn't Consider 1t Grim.
 inal tO Sell Soft Drinks.

Little Rock, Jan S.-Governor Hays is firmly convinced that it must not be considered a criminal act to sell soda-water on Sunday. There are hundreds of druggists and confection- CTS all over the state. especially in the larger cities, who sell soft drinks on Sunday, and it would be dis crimination to fine those in the small CT places for the same thing. For this reason, the governor has just remit ted a fine of $25 that was assessed against w. Hearnsberger of Little River county on charge of Sabbath breaking. 4K
