TELL HOW ID RAISE
 GARDEN AND TREES

The meeting of the Civic's De- partment of the Woman's Club last Saturday afternoon was one of the best attended and most interesting and instructive that has been held by this progressive body.
 MT. Mcdonald Robinson was first speaker on the program. In a very clear and forceful way he presented the practical needs of the town and the aims of the council and of the Commercial club to meet these needs. He asked the earnest CO., operation of the Woman's club in carrying out the ideas presented. He announced next Saturday, the seventeenth, as the day set by the council for town cleaning, and urged that the whole city be wash ed and winnowed," and also that the women give attention to this matter for few days, as nothing in this line is ever well done with out their aid. He complimented the Boy Scout move ment," and said no doubt they would lend hand in the cleaning and be found even more efficient than ever before.
 Prof, T. H. Cureton followed with talk on local vegetation, which lasted over an hour, and then the audience held him with questions until he had to shake himself loose by leaving the auditorium.
 We deplore the fact that many who might have been benefited by the Prof's able instructions, were unable to be present. One person. expressed the general feeling when she said: "I wouldn't take five dollars for what I have learned this 
 Mrs. James Kennedy was then introduced and gave fine talk on flower culture in this locality. Mrs. Kennedy is one of our successful growers, not only in flowers but in vegetables as we'll, and makes her talks practical and satisfying. AL though the hour was late and the men had mostly deserted the hall, the women held to the speaker as long as she could be held and then like Oliver Twist, wished for more.

HOG CHOLERA.

New outbreaks of cholera may be
expected in August. Better clean up
and find out what to do If cholera
comes.
Buzzards, dogs and pigeons may
carry cholera to your herd
Burn all litter, rubbish, and dead
animals, and use plenty OF quicklime.
One part compound creOsote solu-
ton to 80 parts water makes a good
spray solution with which to disinfect
hog lots.
On the first appearance of the dis
ease in your neighborhood, vacci-
nate. Your county agent will teach
you how without cost If you will call
on him.
There are three types of hog chol-
era:
l. The acute type, which kills
quickly.
g. The sub-acute type, which kills
within one or two months.
g. The chronic type, with which a
hog fingers from two to eight months
before death or recovery occurs.
To burn dead hogs: After first
slashing the sides deeply, place the
carcass on iron bars or an iron rake
wheel laid over a trench end build a
good fire underneath. The fat Of the
hog, when once heated, will supply
much of the fuel necessary.
DIR. V. NJ. Knowles, United States
veterinary field agent, submitted the
above hog cholera information. He is
working in cooperation with the ex-
tension division, and his address is
3O5 Federal Building, Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma. His work is TO help fight

LABOR DAY CELEBRATION

The Ardmore Trades Council, with
all labor organizations of the city CO.
operating, have undertaken to cele-
brate Labor Day in Ardmore with a
two days picnic and barbecue. These
men realize the sponsibilities OF
the undertaking. They appreciate the
fact that if they must shoulder the
entire burden that the affair will not
reflect as much credit upon Ardmore
as it should. They realize that they
do not know all there is to learn of
entertaining crowds and they have
opened their hearts to suggestions and
ask the hearty cooperation of the
city government, of the commercial
club, and of every business and pro-
fessional man in the city. These men
have started out in the right direc-
ton, they have a splendid organi-
zation, they are putting much time
and enthusiasm into the undertaking
and there is every reason to believe
that they will succeed.
The labor unions are not depend
ing upon all the money coming from
the pockets of others, every worker
in the city has given through his
union to the entertainment fund.
Every man in the city who has a
card has invested in the picnic and
several of the workmen are giving
funds outside of those voted by their
unions.
They are determined that they will
do their full part and If the people
give their hearty cooperation, the
barbecue and picnic will be made a
most pleasant affair.
The finance committee ought to
know at once how much it will have
to spend and every man in this city
who intends to help in the matter
should mail his check tJday to Will
liam Sullivan, chairman Of the fin
ance committee.

COTTON IS
DECL ARE D
COMTRAbAND
LONG ANTICIPATED ACTION BY
GREAT BRITAIN HAS BEEN
TAKEN AND ANNOUNCED -
WASHINGTON NOT SURPRISED.

London, Aug. 21.-Cotton has been
declared absolute contraband by the
British government, according to an
announcement by the foreign office
this evening.
The statement declares that the
government proposes to iDtiate meas
ures to relieve depression which
might temporarily disturb the cotton
market because of the contraband
order
1t was learned upon iaQriry at the
foreign Office that the French gov
enment will issue a similar notice
early tomorrow.
The announcement follows:
Text Of Announcement.
Ills Majesty's government has
made cotton absolutely contraband.
While the circumstances might have
justified such action at on earlier
period, His Majesty's government is
glad to think that local conditions
of the American interests likely to
be affected are more favorable for
such a step than they were year
ago, and, moreover, His Majesty's
government contemplates ipitiation of
measures to relieve as far as pos
sible abnormal depression which
might temporarily disturb market con-
ditions."
The declaration making cotton con-
traband is effective from today. A
royal proclamation concerning the
subject was published IN a supple
ment Of the London Gazette, issued
tonight 1t is very brief. After a
preamble citing previous proclama-
tions concerning contraband it says:
Order Effective at once.
"Now, therefore, we do hereby de-
clare, by and with the advice of our

Washington, Aug. 21.-Announce-
ment that cotton has been declared
absolutely contraband Of war by Great
Britain came as no surprise to offic-
ials here. Secretary Lansing was
officially advised by the British en-
bassy some time ago that this action
had been decided upon ard that for
nal announcement was delayed only
pending arrangement OF details.
This included. it was understood,
preparations to protect the market
from the effects of the announcement
and also an understanding between
Great Britain and her allies.
While officials would not discuss
the subject tonight it is certain the
United States will protest against
the British action, citing the previous
consistent policy of Great Britain in
holding cotton free of restraint. The
result, it is expected, will be to draw
out full explanation of the reasons
behind the British change of policy.
\ long course of diplomatic inter
changes undoubtedly will follow be-
fore an agreement can be reached or
possibly the question be submitted TO
arbitration.

OUR ENEMIES
W|LLPAY COST
Of THIS WAR"
SECRETARY OF GERMAN TREAS
URY SAYS BURDEN OF COST
WILL BE BORNE BY lNSTIGA-
TORS OF WAR.

Berlin, Aug.22, via Amsterdam and
London.-Dr. Karl Helfferich, secre.
tary Of the German imperial treasury,
speaking in the Reichstag on the Sec
ond reading of the war loan of ST..
5O0,O0O 900, said;
Until now $5,O00,0O0,000 have been
voted and our estimates of war needs
still are exceeded by real expendi-
lures. Every German knows the sac
rifices will not be in vain. The grant
of new millions means guarantee
of unmovable determinat on on the
part of the German people.
During the war we will not in
crease the gigantic burden of the peo-
pie by new taxation. The heavy bur.
den of thousands of millions will be
borne through decades by the in
stigators of the war not by u.s."
In the course of the debate today
in the Reichstag, DR.. Edrard David,
the socialist leader, said:
There lives in the hearts of the
German people, as in all other peoples
a longing for the restoration of peace.
1t were i'll for humanity if 1t were
otherwise.
Therefore, | point again to the
declaration our party made in the
Reichstag on Aug. 4, 1914, that an
end must be made to the war as
soon as our enemies are inclined tC
make peace.
Emperor William said we were
waging no war of conquest and the
chancellor's speech yesterday sup.
piled further proof. Unfortunately,
Germanys enemies are not yet IN
clined to peace, Notwithstanding their
defeats. Their leading statesmen only
recently asserted the determination
to continue the war until Germany
is crushed. They are still looking for
allies among the neutrals. If we
desire peace, therefore, the only
thing left is to compel them to see
that their hope is futile.
Hope for Greater Liberty.
"And hold it to be my duty TO
add that we expect greater meas
ure of liberty for the German people.
With this hope we shall vote for new
credit"
DR.. Peter SPAIN, q clerica., in
dorsed the chancellors position con-
cerning the freeing of Poland from
"the Russian yoke
Major Ernest Basserman, national
liberal leader, added, however, that
the Polish problem must be solved
with due regard' to Germany's ma.
tional interests as well as in the
interests and demands of the Poles.
