Benevolent Society Wants Help.

The sudden drop in temperature
last night and today furnished the
Benevolent Society with quite a lot
of employment. The ladies have had
several applications for assistance,
and have responded.
The president OF the Benevolent
Society. Mrs Kahn, and the secretary,
Mrs. Curtis. are ready to receive as
sistance from the citizens at all times.
Mrs. Kahn stated today that she did
mot wish to become burden to the
business meg OF the city, but that il
was from them that the society eN-
pected to get its assistance, and one
way TO avoid being solicited would be
for them to mail substantial check
and the ladies' of the society would
see to it that it was expended for the
benefit of some worthy family. An
other thing they desire impressed
upon the minds Of all the fortunate
ones is this: That there will be sew
eral very empty stockings in Ardmore
this Christmas unless some Of the
good fellows send in generous con-
tributions. either Of money, toys or
other articles that can be utilized as
gifts The wholesale houses of the
city have always been very generous
with the society every Christmas and
there is seldom a lack Of fruits and
candies for the poor The society has
/ |inaugurated q system whereby those
unworthy are eliminated from the list.
BY this they mean that sometimes
they have been imposed upon by those
able 70 provide FOR themselves, and
what are termed as "doaters," who
come 20 Ardmore with the express
purpose o, spending the winter at the
expense of the local unfortunates
These have been warned 20 keep away
and since :re warning has gone fortl
there have been but a few dumped her,
s-om o-ar- counties. and they were as
rule sent back where they came
from.

CITY GAS COMPANY
SUBSCRIBED FOR ONE THoUs-

DAY AFTERNOON.

Although tentative plans are be-
ing formulated for the active work
to begin on the preliminaries for the
tCll road to the oil fields, the sub
scription list is still open and the
stock is still in demand. The Ard
more City Gas company made appli-
cation for a thousand dollars worth
of stock yesterday and several smaller
subscriptions are coming in. Mr..
Franklin, chairman of the committee
stated this morning that the public
would be kept posted as to the ac-
tiyities of the company but that there
was considerable preliminary work
necessary before it would become
interesting and that these prelimin-
aries were being worked out as quick
" as possible. CONSTRUCTION will be-
gin lust as soon after the right away
is given as the weather will permit
he said. "and no time will be lost be-
fore that road begins to make re-
turns. | hope, however, that all Of
our people will realize that this road
is going to be built with a view to
not only serving the oil fields, but
to open up to Ardmore a splendid
territory which at present has not
the best roads by any means. We
are going to bring the country nearer
to town or take the town nearer to
the country just whichever way one
wants to view it. Ardmore is a CONNER
and we are going to push her for all
II is worth"

PAY OF CITY LIBRARIANS

To the Editor Of the EVening Ledger:
Slr-We have read at length the rea-
sons for and against the trainmen's In.
creased basis OF pay; we have moralized
over the problem of department-store
wages; some Of us have met the increasing
demands Of trade unions and we have sym
pathized with the school teachers In their
efforts to secure larger salaries; but all
OF us seem TO have overlooked the case OF
the librarians of the citys library system.
The neglect would be marked enough II
the women 80 employed could be classed
as unsltilled labor for the increased cost
OF living would Justify at least an inquiry
into the relation OF their salaries TO the
cost of prcsent-day existence. But II Is
not unslxilled labor. The training and edu-
cation required of a woman remaining IN
the free library cannot be much less tech
Zeal than the studies and practice required
in the case Of school teachers. III education
in the schools of today does indeed lay
foundation for culture in the mind OF the
pupil libraries m ght be looked upon as
continuation schools, lasting throughout
our lives.
The possible influence OF Librarians in the
selection of reading; Their direction and
guidance in the matter OF research ana rei-
erence work. and their responsibility IN
the way of censorng the reading matter
given the public cannot be held ightly' IL
Is n position that requires wide reading, d.
plomacy and am unfaling fund of good hui
NOR. for the public like an individual. Is
more exacting I'm a service that Is free than
il Is IN one for which money Is paid out OF
hand.
II seems less than just, therefore. for
those who are patrons of the Free Library,
and who realize In our own lives the IN
creaslngly difficult business OF existing. TO
say nothing and TO do less for class OF
women who. because of no definite or
can cation, cannot present their case TO
The nroper authorities and who are, In con-
sequence. given no consideration by those
men by whose hands the citys finances are
directed.
II is a splendid thing for the city TO
build a magnificent brary on the Parkway,
but II Is an unfeeling act 10 give no thought
10 the private needs and pleasures or the IL
brar'ans of the present. None OF us Is al
trtiistic enough to enjoy pousy strait

which forgets even our names, may gasp In
admiration at the marble glories and the
