Quate for such purpose, ard now one
substantial citizen has come across
with a donation of one hundred dol

hopes others will follow his example.
J. W. Johnson of Milo was the donor

but paid over the money. Mr.. Evans

AUDITING Of
CITY BOOKS IS
CONF PLETEO
AFTER WEEKS OF STRENUOUS
LABOR, THE AUDITORS FINISH
WORK AND WILL SUBMIT RE.
PORT IN A FEW DAYS.

The auditors who have been work
ing on the books OF the city for sew
eral weeks have finished, and will
submit their report from Oklahoma
City within a few days, according to
a statement issued before they de-
parted from Ardmore. 1t required
much longer to go through the books
than was anticipated when the work
began. They were taken from as far
back as 1910 and the volume of busi-
ness transacted by the city during
that period was enormous.
The city officials will probably re-
ceive the report from the auditing
company in the next few days, but
they have not announced whether they
will make it public or not.

Bic PICNIC
SUCCESSFULLY
CONDUCTED
TWO DAYS OF SOLID FUN AND
ENJOYMENT FOR LARGE NUM-
Der OF VISITORS.

The big Labor Day picnic is now a
thing of the past, and the citizens of
this city owe a debt of gratitude to
the officers and members Of the cen
tral trades and labor council for their
untiring efforts to make possible the
most successful picnic ever held in
this city.
Yesterday was spent at Whiting
ton park in much the same manner
as Monday. Governor Cruce, Judge
Champion, Fred Tucker and Esquire
Wiseman delivered the addresses to
the people, and in the afternoon au-
tomobile and motorcycle races were
held and some fast tim2 recorded.
Sam Baird had pair of PAGERS from
his stable that went three-mile heats
in exhibition. Each made better than
2:3O.
The carnival companies and privi-
lege men all did good business,
and when everything ives over last
night expressed themselves as well
satisfied with their business in Ard
more. The ball game between Madill
and Ardmore was won by the locals
by a score Of to 0, in T. slow, un-
interesting game.

it, ,,rfth
will begin Immediately to take steps
for 1916 1t is proposed to levy a
small monthly assessment against each
local for this purpose, so when the
time comes the central trades and
labor council will have a working
capital to begin on.
Governor" Cruce, in his speech
talked of organization, and drew some
comparisons between organized labor,
the farmer, and the bIginess man
He told the assembled workers that
through their organization they were
able to get legislation favorable to
them, whereas the farmers and busi-
ness men, for lack of this very thing
are scarcely able to get recognition
at the hands of the lawmakers.
The strong point OF Governor"
Cruces speech was that no member
of the legislature dared raise his
voice above whisper against or
ganized labor, but paid very little at
tention, if any, to the requests OF
the farmer.
Senator Tucker had for bis subject
"Organized Labor" and took the his
tory Of fhe labor movement from its
infancy down to the present day, and
recounted facts of history pertaining
to labU organizations that were in
teresting. He told of the labor
movement in Europe, and gave stats
tics of locals and membership III
each county.
Judge Champion made a character
istic picnic speech that kept the au-
dience in good humor, while Esquire
Wiseman, the sage OF Joiner CITY,
was the star performer of the day.
His address consisted of anecdotes
typical of Lincoln and he kept the
audience in roars of laughter through
ont

No Extra Session

Abilene, Tex, Sept. S.-No extra
session of the legislature will be called
this fall, says Governor Ferguson, ac-
cording to Judge Jim Cunningham of
this city who talked with the governor
last night at Sweetwater. The governor
said he did not believe it would be
policy to spend $15O,OOO to re-district
the state, and that there was not
much else to consider in the way of
legislation

A SPLENDID LECTURE.

Grangeville enjoyed the treat of the
season last evening in the lecture Of
DR.. MaeLaren who appeared at the
opera house as the fourth number Of
the l. o. o. F. lyceum course. The
doctor took for his theme. 1.-THE Flags
OF the Nations" lecture that he has
given all over the United States. and
for two hours held the audience spell
bound with his vivid word-pictures
that he 30 masterfully portrayed Of
the different nations of the earth. AS
he spoke Of the nation he held aloft
the flag OF that nation. He gave the
I best characterization Of the different
nations that had n place In any lee
ture that has ever been heard in
Grangeville. In spite of the handicap
OF q severe cold in the throat, the
doctors oratoricai periods were reach
ed with great success and brought forth
n hearty response from the audience.
Especially was the speaker happy in
his choice bit OF irony on the Jap
anese. his witty period on Ireland and
his enthusiastic acclaim OF Scotland.
However. when DIR. MacLaren reached
the "Stara and Stripes" IL was cas-
lily seen that he was most at home and
for the last hour spoke with increasing
power Of our own great people. DR..

This week he poisoned a lot OF fresh

strong feeling aroused over this indis-
