Of THE BIRTH
Of ARDMORE
TWENTY-ElGHT YEARS AGO TO-
DAY ARDMoRE WAS BROUGHT
INTO BEING FROM THE OLD 700
RANCH-HOUSE STILL STANDS.

Twenty-eight years ago today Ard
more began its existence on what was
then the old 700 ranch that was sew
cred in twain by the Santa Fe rail
road and a depot built near the present
site of the union station. At that
time Ardmore consisted for the most
tents, wagon yard or two and a few
corrals where the cowpunchers tied
their horses when they roade to town
for their smoking tobacco and other
Injuries.
Ardmore in its infancy was ambi-
tious, and her business men who had
the nerve to come to the new town
were constantly on the lookout for
the welfare of the future city. they
embraced every opportunity of i'm
proving local conditions until others
were attracted by their effort and de-
cided to make this their home.

few years later would have proven
disastrous to less determined people
but, Phoenix like, Ardmore arose
from the ashes and in place Of the
wooden shack, substantial brick build
ings were erected that are being oc-
cupied today by the same hardy
pioneers who in the face of almost
complete ruin took the bit in their
teeth and won out over every obstacle
The growth of the city from that
time to this is familiar to all, it has
been a steady advance forward, not a
boom. but a steady substantial growth |
that spells permanency. Ardmore !
can well be proud of her past and is
ooking forward confidently to a most
future.

German Advance Checked.

London, July 2S.-The Austro-Ger-
man attempts to envelop the Rus
sian armies defending Warsaw and
to capture the Polish capital, which
for a time progressed almost with
the momentum of the offensive which
cleared Galicia of Russian troops,
have been brought nearly to a stand
still, and where the German troops
are moving forward it is only yard
by yard and at tremendous cost in
men and material.
The German field marshal, Won
Mackensen, has taken a few villages
on the way to the Lublin-Cholm rail-
way between the Vistula and the Bug
rivers, and the Austrians, by a coun-
ter-offensive at Sokal, have captured
positions which will make the Ger
man flank safer, but as has so often
occurred lately, Berlin officially re-
ports that otherwise the position of
the German troops under Won Mack
ensen remains unchanged"
Along the western bank Of the Wis.
tula from Ivangorod to Noyo George
ivsk even less progress apparently
has been made, while along the Ma.
rev, where Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg has been directing operations
in an effort to drive a wedge in be-
hind the city, he is now largely &C.
cupied in meeting the Russian coun-
ter attacks.
These counter attacks, according
to Petrograd, have succeeded in fore
ing the Germans, who had crossed

MARK bdAVES
Of SOLDIERS
COMMITTEE DECLARES IN FAVOR
OF UNIFORM MARKERS LIKE
THOSE USED BY THE STATE OF
OKLAHOMA.

The committee appointed by John
II. Morgan Camp, United Confederate
Veterans, for the purpose of selecting
suitable markers for graves of de-
ceased veterans and for devising plans
for raising funds for the purchase of
the markers, held it's first meeting
yesterday afternoon in the rest room
at the county court house.
Present at the meeting were Capt.
w. R. Wood, Capt. J. r. Pulliam, w.
r. Burnitt, T. B. Frensley, Mrs. Wal
colt and Miss Mollie Peel. Capt.
Wood made a statement of the object
of the meeting. He stated that the
graves of 80 deceased veterans have
been located, some are marked and
some are not. Some have monuments.
but the monuments do not convey
the information that the deceased was
a veteran of the civil war. 1t is the
desire of the committee that these
monuments bear the inscription, "Con-
federate Veteran" or the initials, T.
c. v, so that persons many years
from now will know that the monu-
ment rests above the grave of a
Confederate soldier.
On motion of 7. b. Frensley, a COM
mittee composed of three persons was
appointed to get the views of the
relatives of the deceased concerning
what they would consider appropriate
markers and also to obtain their con-
sent to mark the graves On this
committee Mr.. Frensley, Mrs. Walcott
and Miss Peel were named

GREW OF LEElANAW, SUNK BY
GERMAN SUBMARINE, TELLS OF
COURTEOUS TREATMENT.
SOME FROM AMERICA
Several of the Submarines Crew
Spoke English, Having Lived in the
United States-One Mess Boy of
leelanaw Joined Submarines Crew.

Aberdeen, Scotland, July 2S.-"They
could not have treated us more cour
teously than they did" was the unani
nous verdict of the crew of the Amer
ican steamer Leelanaw, which was
sunk by a German submarine.
They travelled for sixty miles on
the deck of the submarine becoming
well acquainted with its crew, several
of whom spoke English, having been
in America.
One mess boy of the Leelanaw re-
mained aboard the submarine, joining
its crew.
He was German and feared that the
British would intern him.
The Leelanaw's crew said the sub
marines captain apologized for sink
ing the ship. The Leelanaw was the
sixth vessel which the submarine had
sunk that day.

THE SUNDAY
SCHOOLS WILL
Be CROWDED.
ALL THE KIDS UNDER FOURTEEN
YEARS WILL BE GIVEN A TICK.
ETTo PICTURE SHOWS IF THEY
ATTEND.

Mayor Mullen and the picture shows
of the city have cOnspired to get ev-
cry child in Sunday school next Sun
day and if the weather is propitious
and all the kids are enjoying good
health, the chances are that all rec
ords for attendance at Sunday school
in this city will be smashed to smith
Greens.
The scheme that they have evolved
is this. Every child under fourteen
years of age who attends Sunday
school next Sunday will be given a
ticket good at any matinee upon the
theatre that it is issued, the superin-
tendent will issue the tickets, and they
will be supplied by the mayor upon
request.
The superintendent of the various
Sunday schools are requested to call
on or phone the mayor as to the num-
Der they require, and they will be fur
nished.
Ardmore has the reputation of be-
ing the best Sunday school town in
this section of the state, the yearly
totals of all schools are almost be-
yond belief but the mayor says he is
looking for an attendance next Sun
day that will break all previous rec
ords.

his land, depending upon the distance
from railroad. Residence for IA
months is prerequisite to communting.
Since June 6, 1912, an entryman COM
mnting his entry must be citizen of
the United States. To commute, the
entryman must have habitable house
on his claim and must have cultivated
one sixteenth of his acreage. Not all
kinds of entries are subject to commu-
tation, but all original, second, addi-
tional and adjoining entries may be
committed.
In the case of the death of the entry
man, his widow, heir or devisee may
enter and complete his entry in the
same manner as if he were alive.
The requirements of the present law
are definite, and the entrymen knows
exactly what is necessary for him to
do in order to comply with it's provi-
sions. This is much better than the in
definiteness of the old laws, interpreted
according to the feelings of the par
ticular clerk who was responsible for
interpreting such acts.
The government is stricter now than
ever before. Special agents investi-
gate the validity of practically all
claims. Before those employed in each
local land office and those detailed to
the field from the commissioner Of
flee at Washington, the commissioner
reports that there are 14S men in the
field service, designated as Especial
agents. with certain districts to comb
through and ascertain any persons
whose entries should not be permitted.
In addition the government surveyors
and employees OF the forest service also
give information to the special agents
concerning claims coming under their
notice. This system renders the per
petration of frauds less prevalent than
formerly.
Every western community has its old
homesteader, who has grown wealthy
because of the gift of Uncle Sam. Since
the passage of the general homestead
law in 1862 the government has patent
ed over one hundred and forty-seven
millions acres under this act alone.
This means that over one million citi-
zens have acquired homes under the
provisions OF the homestead law. And
we have sufficient agricultural public
land left to accommodate more than
twice the number who have already Sc
cured homes under the law, to say
nothing Of the great amount of acreage
which is enterable under other laws.
