decision in a I0-round bout with Al
Norton of Kansas City here tonight.
The fight was Morris throughout Dur

succeeded in landing some good blows
the Oklahoman was continuously on

frequently in clinching
Clinches played a large part in ev-
cry round of the fight After the first
two rounds Norton took the defensive,
and only for short intervals after that
did he show any attempt at offensive
fighting. Twice he stepped out from
his defensive tactics, however, and
landed two good blows, sendinf one to
the head and the other to the body o.
the Oklahoman. Morris noticeably
was affected, but quickly resumed ths
offensive each time and forced Nor

TRUCK GROWERS DISCUSS PLANS
For Growing and Shipping Sweet
Potatoes and Melons.

r. p. Elrod, farm demonstrator for
the Frisco, was in the city yesterday
afternoon and met with the truck
growers, for the purpose of discuss
ing shipping plans
There is a disposition upon the
part of a number of farmers in this
immediate neighborhood to raise
melons and sweet potatoes in guam
titles sufficiently large to attract
buyers. This can be done success
fully only when enough are raised
to insure the shipment of two or
more cars daily during the melon
season. With this supply in sight,
buyers would be attracted, and there
would be no trouble in marketing
the crop. The same thing applies to
sweet potatoes, and for this reason
the few members who now compose
the association were discussing the
bet plans for taking care of the
crop and marketing it after it was
raised
Mr.. Elrod is going to assist the
local growers in their plans and en-
courage truck growing on a large
scale in this locality.

LOOKS BAD
FOR ANOTHER
PEACH CROP
FEATURED BY LIGHT SHOWER,
is SWELLING BUDS AND LATE
FREEZE WOULD KILL.

The continued warm weather fer
the past ten days, featured by light
shower, makes it look bad for the
peach and other fruit crops in this
locality.
1t is reported that the buds are
beginning to swell in many localities
within the past few days, and the
freeze, which will most surely come
later, will kill all prospects for an
other crop again this season.
There is one feature, however, that
is redeeming, and that is: If the
buds swell now and are killed later
the trees may bud again and thus
insure a crop, but this feature IS
very uncertain, and the fruit growers
are hoping that cold wave will pass
over this section before the buds are
all out
The small growers are not equipped
to combat late frosts. as they are
where large commercial orchards are
the rule, with smudge pots, using
some of the crude oil of this section
that is selling for thirty cents at
present, set aglow in the orchards,
when a frost threatened the peach
crop could be saved every year, but
the orchards here are not of the
magnitude to warrant this expense.

Local Committee to be Complmented
for High Class Shows.
The Redpath Lyceum number at
the high school auditorium Friday
night. was in keeping with the high
order of the entertainments staged
by the local committee which has
done so much for Ardmore during the
season. The auditorium was well fill
ed Friday night to see demonstrations
of natural law by NJ. NJ. Wood. 1t
would require a technical education
in that line of work to make an intel
ligent write-up of the performance,
but even at that, the people thoroughly
enjoyed every minute of the evening
with this man. The ultraviolet ray
was seen and demonstrations of stor-
ing light were made Mr. Wood said
some day it would be possible to paper
a room with a paper in which light had
been stored, which would enable a
person to read at night, withou any
other artificial light.
The next number is only a week
away and it is also said to be very
fine. When the next number is fin
ished, the last will have been given,
and it is to be sincerely hoped that
the same committee will favor the city
next year with a series of evenings as
pleasant and instructive as they have
been this season.

ENSIGN j. E. AUSTIN
RESTORED TO THE NAVY
Dismissed for Marrying Contrary to
Rules, He is Reinstated by Act Of
Congress.

Joseph L. Austin, of New York, a
former Midshipman in the Navy, has
been restored to the Navy with the
rank of ensign and assigned to duty
on the auxiliary cruiser Prarie of the
Atlantic feet
That action was taken by the Presi-
dent on the recommendation of Sec
retary Daniels under authority of a
special act of Congress. The young
man entered the Naval Academy as a
Midshipman July 20. 1904, and after his
graduation in 1908, was assigned TO the
cruiser South Dakota, then on the Pa
cific station, for a two-year cruise.
Before the expiration of that cruise
he was court-martialed and dismissed
for violation of the naval regulations
by marrying withut the permission of
the Navy Department The wedding
took place at Honolulu and the captain
OF the South Dakota and his brother
officers attended the wedding.
AT the court-martial it was developed
that the copy of the regulations which
the young officer consulted did not
contain the page on which was printed
the rule against marriage.
Mrs Austin pleaded the case of her
husband with the Navy Department so
well that Mr.. Daniels gave a favor
able recommendation for the bill or
restoration. After the favorable rec
ommendation had been made the bill
was passed by Congress.
