in the midst of a great oil develop

credit of many men and advises that
acreage be taken where it can be
bought reasonably, and says the next
best buy is Ardmore property. He
feels that Ardmore must do much
growing as the result of the bringing
in of series of oil pools which he
thinks are certain to be discovered
here from time to time.

If A CHICKEN DlSOBEY LAW,

Acting Mayor Lasher stated this
morning that there was going to be
some drastic action taken to abate
the nuisance of chickens running at
large and running neighbors' gardens.
The law on the statute books is very
plain, and the pound officer will re-
ceiye instructions to begin a crusade
with a smalLgcpge shotgun and
shoot all fowls found running at
large, and also summon the owner TO
appear in the city court, if the owner
can be found.
Gardens in the past have been ruin
ed and the owners thereof refrained
from starting a rough house for the
reason that they desired to get along
peaceably with their neighbors. The
law will now take the responsibility
OF their shoulders, and the pound
man with the little shotgun and the
scavenger man with his cart will be
busy for the next few days. unless

With its entrance upon the
