NEW TRAFFIC
RULE MEETS
W!TRFAVOR
CITY WAYS BEING ADOPTED AND
SUGGESTION FROM OLD CITl.
ZEN LOOKS TO EXTENSION OF
REGULATIONS.

A. l.. Glazier, one of the city's
pioneer citizens, is close observer
of current situations, and he took
occasion Saturday to compliment
the changed conditions on the down
town streets, especially the busy cor
ner of Main and Washington streets,
since the new traffic cop has been in
stalled and the "jaywalkers" com
PEELED to take the right-hand side of
the street and make square corners
in crossing.
Mr.. Glazier stated that he was re
minded of a recent visit he made to
certain Kansas town which is not
any larger than this city, where he
thought the town and business had
gone dead because he failed to OBJ
serve the long line Of delivery wagons
that formerly lined both sides of the
busy streets. He was informed that
a new order had gone into effect, all
delivery wagons being made to load
at the rear of the stores, and vendors,
wagons of very sort, were compelled
to keep off the streets. He stated
further that it might be a good idea
to begin such campaign here, as
the streets are none too wide at the
best, and automobiles are getting so
numerous that it is dangerous to have
teams standing along the curbs of
busy streets, especially when they
could be loaded at the rear just as
handily. Mr.. Glazier stated that he
was downtown on a shopping eXpedi-
ton recently, and drove to another
store from the place he usually buys
goods, because of the fact that two
or three delivery wagons were lined
up in front, and he did not feel ike
climbing through them 20 get to the
store. This may happen often during
the course of year.
In conclusion Mr.. Glazier remarked
that if Ardmore is ever to become
city, it might as well begin to put on
some "city ways" now as later, ana
follow up the traffic cop idea with
other ideas that will give tie streets
of the city a better appearance

CARTER AVE.
APPRECIATES
ITS PASTOR
REV. w. T. FREEMAN BEGINS HIS
THIRD YEAR AS PASTOR, WITH
PROSPECTS OF CONTINUED
SUCCESS.

The Carter Avenue Methodist
church people are pleased that the
conference returned Rev. w. T. Free
man to them for a third year of work.
The two years he has served as their
pastor the church, the Sunday school
and the mid-week prayer service have
prospered. At the last prayer service
the attendance was equal to the at
tendance at the church services when
he began his duties as pastor. A
pounding was given the pastor at the
Wednesday evening meeting which
was an expression Of the gratitude of
the people for his work. The church
mas had a gain of eighty in member
ship, and the people are looking for
ward with hopes that this will be
the greatest year in the history of the
church. The membership is now $50
and the Carter Avenue people feel
that some of these days they will
own a handsome new brick church
house
Rev Mr. Freeman has been a c!ti-
zen of this city for ten years. For

John C. Mulkey of this city, who
owns a large acreage of land on the
Washita river in the northeastern por-
ton of Carter county, began expert
menting with Bermuda grass for pas
ture purposes five years ago. He was
so pleased with the results that he
kept at work sodding land until today
he has 1875 acres set to this grass. f.
A. Mitchell of Chandler, who signs his
name F. A. (Bermuda) Mitchell, has
heretofore borne the distinction of be-
ing the Bermuda King of Oklahoma,
but Mr.. Mulkey has surpassed him in
the number of acres set to Bermuda.
Mr. Mitchell has a pasture Of 100 acres
and Mr.. Mulkey of Carter county has
almost twice that amount. The Carter

1T is TIME SUCH A PLACE is

kET WAGONS - STREETS TOO
NARROW FOR PRESENT TRADE.

The question of market square
was again the subject of some dis.
cussion in one of the city commits
sioners office, and It seems to be
meeting with popular approval with
the city officials, who believe the
city could make no safer investment
than to authorize a small bond issue
for the purchase of a suitable site for
the erection of market house and
a square, where products from the
country could be offered for sale at
one central point.
Several sites have been suggested
to the city. the last one being the
old Central Wagon Yard on Caddo
street between Caddo and North Mill
street, and between Paradise Alley
to the rear of the Pride and Allen
property on Broadway. This site Is
most centrally located, and could be
made to include market square
where bulky farm products, such as
cotton corn, hay, grain and wood,
could be offered for sale, away from
the busy main streets OF the city.
People would soon become accustomed
to this location the commissioners
urged, and, as this is the custom In
other cities, he sees no reason why
the plan would not be a good one
here.
Now that the city officials have
decided to keep the streets open to
traffic, there must be some place
provided for the farm wagons that
come to town with produce to sell
When the government began the cree
ton of the new federal building, the
last remaining site for them was
removed. They are entitled to a
good location, this commissioner
thinks, and he believes that aside
from the benefit it would give the
farmer to have certain place il
which to offer his products for sale
the year round, it would be a payinl
investment for the city in the renta
of stalls, as Is done in other places
which have market houses.
At any rate. the agitation has begur
and, according to the prevailing senti
ment, it Is likely to grow until some
thing tangible results.

TO LOCATE FAMOUS HIGHWAY
THROUGH SOUTHERN OKLA

Col Suggs is industriousN at work

held in September in Oakland, Cal.
lie is working to have the road from
the east to the west, often called the
Ocean to Ocean Highway, pass
through the southern portion of Ok
lahoma, entering the state near Po-
teau, okla, and making it's exit near
Childress, Tex, The naming of the
road the mapping on the large edi-
tion of maps issued by the National
Highway Commission and the organi-
zation of road associations in every
county along the proposed road to
see TO it's construction, is rot a task
easily accomplished, but It can be
| done, and Col, Suggs is employing
his usual industry and enthusiasm
in accomplishing this huge task which
will result in throwing "A vast amount
of travel through the south half of
the state and will lend some real en-
couragement to the good work of the
state.
The following letter from the presi-
dent of the National Highway associa-
tion, in which the Indian Trail Is
suggested as proper name for the
road. will be of interest to all persons
along this proposed route:
'Elmwood' Cambridge, Mass.
November 10, 1915.
my Dear Mr.. Suggs:
81 have your letter of November
6 and thank you for ii. Would not
the name Indian Trail be very much
better than using &C. or C. c. c.?
Brevity is the soul of wit they say.
and also the soul of many other
things. | see that great minds run in
the same channel. / discussed the
question of name with Mrs. Davis
some nights ago, and she suggested
Indian Trail which !, of course, ap-
proved, so we will let it go at that
unless you feel very strongly about
the other.
81 am not familiar in detail with
your highway law. Shall be glad to
get a copy of It at your convenience.
In general way should recommend
one commissioner, and ! should con
centrate the power in the hands OF
that commissioner, giving HIM the
credit &c: g0on results ana the re-
sponsibility for bad results.
"If there is anything more that we
can do to be helpful, please command
us. / have ordered the production OF
the proposed map of the Indian Trail
and you will get a copy in due time.
Please let me know how large a por-
ton of the edition you will take and
agree to distribute 50 that | may
order intelligently from the printer.
yours very truly,

is making "A success of the venture.
Other farmers in that portion of the
county have seen the results obtained
from growing Bermuda and some other
lands there will be set to the same
grass. Mr.. Mulkey has 600 acres of
lands in the Washita bottom, all of
which is in a fine state of cultivation,
and which grows good crops almost
every year. He also has coo acres of
uplands, 400 of which are in cultiva-
ton and 200 acres in native grass. The

Mr.. Mulkey was born in Kentucky

ago. and is one of the most progressive
citizens of the state.

USING SOAP
SP0ILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
ingly, if at all, if you want to keep
your hair looking its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoOs con-
tain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (which ic pure and greaseless),
is cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls Will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lath-
er, which rinses out easily, remov-
ing every particle of dust dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright lus-
trous, fluffy and easy TO manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy. and few
ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.
