a point where it will reflect credit
upon the city and the entire south
ern portion of the state.
Our duty now is with the style
| Show. We want to lend our full en-.
ergy TO the success of the enterprise.
We want to see the automobile par
| ade the largest ever held in the state.
That is not impossible. Nearly all
! the factories have agents here, these
agents are making heavier sales than
in any other city in the state, they
are being backed by their houses
in putting on a parade that will do
their cars justice in an advertising
way, and when the strength of all
the agencies is combined the parade
will be made up of cars worth sev.
eral hundred thousand dollars, and
will be worth coming many miles to
see.
The paper issued Sunday morning
"
tivties, and some of the old.time
readers made the statement that ii
was the best paper ever issued by
The Ardmoreite company. In many
ways, il was better paper. The
amount of live advertising it carried
would have made good paper with
out any other features. The adver !
tising columns told true story of |
the progressive spirit of the citizen
ship and of the prosperity which pre-
walls here. No such story could be |
told in words as was told in the ad-
vertising columns.
We want TO see the entire south.
ern portion of the state take an in
terest in the Style Show. 1t can be
made a big event down this way.
We can bring a week of festivities TO
our own door. Those festivities go
toward making Ardmore different
from the usual hum-drum city that de-
votes all its days to dollarearning.
II will contribute toward building a
city that will bring all the larger
attractions nearer the doors of the
people of this section of the state
and all the people of the surrounding
towns are anxious to see us build a
city here. They are willing to do
heir part, and Ardmore must never
'alter, now that it has begun to grow
INTO a city.

Guilty of keeping a lawn clean where
horse chestnut trees are growing will
appreciate the following composition
by ten-year-old hoy, which appeared
in the New York Tribune:
"The horse chestnut tree is great

because Of tile blossoms dropping all
over the grass, next the little green
chestnuts fall all over the ground.
next the big horse chestnuts fan with

just two crops in which he special

good many other similar cases could
probably he given, All Of which in

This is time of year when the
hearts of many men in city and town
life turn back to the farm. The idea
OF buying some little place out in
the country and earning living
from the soil is cherished in many
minds. If one has an independent
income. he can perhaps conform to
the definition of gentleman farmer,
as a man who can stand the expense.
II one has no very large savings, the
question whether a man can turn his
back on the city and without farm
experience support a family from the
soil, becomes a vital one.
If a man has a lot of gumption
and a practical sense OF management,
it may not be so difficult But for
,he average man from an Office, more
familiar with ledgors and bllbooks
,han with soil and fertilizers, it is
not an easy proposition. or course
he gets no end OF help from bullc-

helps can't cover everything.
In the course of raising every
crop, there come oxigencies not Gov

reach. The traditions OF the neigh
borhood tell the farmers boy what to
do, But minus that experience, and
with his scientific advice many miles
away, the amateur is more or less
helpless.
Half of the men from city life who
try farm work give up because the
physical labor is beyond theii
strength. They cant afford to hire
sufficient help, and can't plough and
pitch hay themselves. The time
when their muscles could have beer
