Do We NEED
AB|G HOTEL?
ASK THE MAN
TRAVELLING PUBLIC is PROFuSE
IN CRITICISM OF THE SERVICE
THEY ARE GETTING HERE AT
PRESENT.

What would Ardmore do If small
sized convention should desire to hold
session in this CITY," remarked a
prominent government official this
morning. who is here attending Uni
ted States court. "Ardmore is a fine
city. but II there was ever a place on
earth that needed hotel, and needed
it right away, it is Ardmore. The
ones you have are entirely inadequate
and not at all in keeping with the
progressive spirit of the city"
That was some" slam, but as it is
nothing but the truth there was no
chance for an argument. United
States court will be IN session here
for at least ten days, perhaps longer.
and it is going to tax the capacity of
every hotel in the city to take care of
the people who will be here, in addi-
tion to the oil men, who are "regu-
lars"
The gentleman wAs informed that
new hotel, in keeping with the city
was an assured fact, that actual work
would begin in very short time, but
this argument is not going to do any
good in the present crisis. This man
thinks Ardmore citizens should have
had the building opened before now,
and in the light of other events, there
is nothing very much that can be said
to controvert his statement.
Ardmore citizens are assured that
the Sharp hotel will be erected as
soon as the plans are accepted by the
promoters, and before another year
the citizens of this city will not be
compelled to listen to the jeers of the
travelling public who as usual thing
now pass up Ardmore as a place to
spend Sunday and go to places where
they can get hotel accommodations
The local hostelries and boarding
houses are already filed to capacity,
and the United States court will bring
hundreds of others VINO will have to
scramble for a place to stay or else
a lot of doubling up will have to be
INDUCED in.

HAVE DARK HAIR
ANDL00K YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur, becaues It darkens so
naturally and evenly that nobody can
tell it has been applied-its so easy
to use, too. You simply dampen a
comb or soft brush and dra W it
through your hair, taking one strand
at time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two it is restored to fits natural
color and looks glossy. soft and abun-
dant.

PROVENCE NOTES

Provence, Okla, Oct. 2.-Another
week of cool, blustery weather. A
light frost one night last week.
II the fair weather continues a few
weeks longer most all of the cotton
around Provence will be picked out
as 1t is opening up fast and is being
gathered, ginned and sold as quickly
as possible. The good price being
paid for cotton is too tempting for
the farmers to hold back any from
the market.

luton adds to the demand that Presi-
dent Wilson repudiate this comparison
he statement that I'VE call upon every
loyal and patriotic man and woman in
America TO ,repudiate this odious COM
parison and unjust and untrue attack
upon our forefathers. the founders of
the Republic and the Declaration of
Independence"
Secretary Baker made his compari-
son of the soldiers of 1875 with the
Mexican soldiers of day in a political
speech in Chicago on OctobeIF16 The
resolution of the officers of patriotic
societies quotes three paragraphs from
his speech, one of which reads as fol-
lows:
Washington's soldiers in the march
to Valley Forge stole everything they
could lay their hands on. They stole
the silver vessels of the churches and
melted them up to buy drinks; they
drove ministers of the gospel and
preachers of churches out of their
churches and out of the country.
Whenever you hear somebody say they
cannot understand the Presidents
Mexican policies, tell them to read the
Declaration of independence and the
Golden Rule"
Rasing their action upon these
words, the officers of the patriotic So
cieties attacked Mr.. Baker in vitriolic
language His words are called libel
GUS and false staten, ent~ likely to have
a most lperniciousI Iinf D ,ce'' on the
ideals of the youths Q. the country.

he is not considering marriage. And
il you follow him to the town where

where he will lose all respect for you.
There would be no particular harm

If you really love this young man
can you not give him the encourage
ment of your faith and belief in him,
and the incentive of having you to
work for so that he may forge on to-
ward success? Possibly the knowledge
that you look down on him and con-
slider him failure discourages him
and acts as a handicap. Either try
to act as an inspiration or take your
self out of his life. for IL you torment
him by being present and yet unat-

from attaining an honest. well-direct-
ed effort such as can not fail to lead
to success.

= Miss Watson, the trained nurse, had
come and was comfortably established
in Miss Lucy Morley's room.
Jennie O'Neill had gone home for
the night. The few dinner dishes had
been washed and put away. The little
slat was very quiet.
DR.. Martin had looked in just after
dinner to see how his patient was pro-
crossing and to give some orders to
the nurse.
When he had gone Agnes had come
into the little living room, sitting down
by the window, thought long and deeply
of what lay before her, and of the
obligations she must meet.
Not only was there the numerous
incidentals to serious illness, such
as medicines, certain articles of food,
etc, to be paid for during the next
few weeks, but there was a trained
nurse for. perhaps. a month to come,

to mention the fact that Miss Watson
was another person to be fed.
