Motors Larger Than Necessary.


when the complainants were put
ting in motors for the operation
of their business in Oklahoma City
most of them did so with the eXpec-
tation that the near future would
bring an increase in business. The
development of the city in business
has not been as rapid as anticipated
by some, hence motors with greater
horse power capacity than is nee
essary to operate the plant have been
installed and are now in use.

MAY EXERCISES
ARE SUSPENDED
IN THE SCHOOLS
A PAGEANT GIVING AN EPlToME
OF HISTORY HAD BEEN
PLANNED - ABANDONED ON
ACCOUNT OF COST.

There will be no May Day exercises
in the Ardmore city schools this
year. The conclusion has been
reached and the announcement made.
The exercises last year were delight
full. The children from the different
wards met on Main street marched
to Central park weber the exercises
were carried out in the presence OF
an assembly estimated at ten thou
sand people.
The plans for this year had been
made on a more elaborate scale. A
pageant which was to be an epitome
of history from Christopher Column
bus to Woodrow Wilson had been
planned. 1t would have required a
great deal of work and an expendi-
ture of large sum of money to have
made it the success expected by the
people and that would have salts
fled Prof Richards and his corps of
teachers. Ardmore people have
learned to expect much from its
schools and the people are not con-
tent without the usual mark of pro-
gress.
Superintendent Richards in dis
cussing the matter today said:
have studied the situation closely and
| find the conditions here are about
this; year ago those who had money
or could borrow money invested in
oil stock Many lost and many others
have their money tied up so that
they cannot get returns. We have a
financial stringency which has prob
ably not been experienced in Ard
more before, many people find it diff
ficult to obtain the necessities of life.
have estimated the expense that
would fall upon the parents to carry
out the May day exercises, and find
that it be in excess of what we
can afford to use at this time.
Under ordinary conditions | be-
lieve that the benefit derived to the
children who take part in the ex-
ercises and to the parents who come
to witness the scene, and the spirit
harmony and enthusiasm impaired
to the schools would far exceed this
expenditure, but under present con
ditions the sound thinking people will
appreciate the suspension of the ex-
ercises for this year.
For these reasons ! have decided
to dispense with the May day eXer-
cises for the year, but will resume
them when conditions improve. Then
I am sure the people will be glad TO
have the schools renew the exercises
on a more elaborate scale than they
have been held in the past"

WILSON pARooNs DYING MAN.
Orders Minnesota Prison Warden to
Release Prisoner.

Washington March 27.-Touched
by word that George Savage. pris-
oner in the Minnesota penitentiary,
was dying, President Wilson tonight
signed a pardon and orders immedi-
ately were telegraphed to the warden
to release the man.
Savage was serving a sentence of
five years imposed by the federal
court at st. Paul for violation of the
Mann white slave law. His sentence
began in April 1914 Attorney Cen
eral Gregory recommended that the
pardon be granted recently on receipt
of reports from the prison physician
that the prisoners condition was
serious. The district attorney and
his assistants had indorsed the petit
ton.

EVERYONE WHO VOTED IN PRI.
MARY SHOULD VOTE AGAIN.

Simply because the primary cleo
ton has decided who shall be the
regular candidates in the general
election on the democratic ticket is
over and the candidates chosen, it is
no valid reason why every man who
voted in the primary should not come
out on the day of the general election
and cast their ballots as they did in
the primary | hope this will be
the case on election day, and that the
biggest democratic vote in the history
of the city be cast"
The above was uttered by Chair
man Apple of the county central COM
mittee yesterday. He always takes
a deep interest in party affairs, and
he was ably seconded by Chairman
Lasher and Secretary Carlock of the
county election board
The idea that the primary settles
everything is going to upset the dope
some day if it is adhered to, these
men think, and it behoOves every
man who enters the primary to come
out on the day Of election and dc
their duty to the party.
The republicans will cast every
vote the party possesses in the com
ing election. They have two good
men as candidates and it behooves
the democrats to be on the job lest
something might happen. Chairman
Apple and the officers of the election
board have repeatedly warned the
voters of this county that the stay-at
home spirit after the primary is dan
gerous, and it may result in the reg
ular nominees being defeated some
day.

Whooplnu Couan.

The Bureau of Laboratories OF the
New York board of health has been
conducting an extensive investigation
of whooping cough, and DR.. Paul Lut-
finger recently reported to the Medi-
cal association of the greater city Of
New York some of the results of that
inquiry.
Among the most interesting con-
illusions reached is that the early part
of the disease is the most infectious.
The bacillus that is believed to cause
it is rarely found in the sputum after
the first week of the paroxysmal. or
whooping, stage. so there would seem
to be no necessity for the child to be
kept in the house for more than q
week after the whoop appears"
Doctor Luttinger says physicians un-
derestimate the seriousness of the dis
ease and fail to report cases. Only
20 per cent of cases in a certain area
were reported, and probably not more
than 10 per cent are reported in
Greater New York"

her that Broffin had entered the sick
