GRATITUDE TO OIL MEN

With possibly a single exception it
is extremely fortunate for Ardmore
that oil wealth came to the local men
it came to. These men, by their
energy and progress, discovered the
field and developed it. Nice size for
tunes have come to a score of them
and they are using that fortune to
develop Ardmore. Their discovery
of the field brought millions of wealth
here that has found its way into the
pockets of hotel men and all other
lines of business in Ardmore. An
other vast profit that has come from
the energy and nerve of these people
has come to the thousands of people
who own real estate in Ardmore. EV-
cry piece of property in Ardmore is
worth more because of the discovery
of oil, and every piece is gaining in
value because these same men are
buying and improving Ardmore prop
erty. Gradually the wealth is coming
to every property owner and to ev-
trates the aphorism that no man liyeth
to himself His influence reaches
out and touches and changes the tide
of fortune and happiness of many oh
er men. These local oil men are
proving their loyalty to Ardmore, they
are showing the confidence they have
in their native city, and we take es-
pecial pride in pointing to the type
of men who have made these profits.
The results are larger and more ef
ficient banks, better business dig,
trict, more and handsomer homes,
prettier streets, and slowly but surely
the influence is reaching out to public
buildings. Beautiful churches,
handsome Y. NJ. C. A. building and
other public structures will finally
rear their heads in commemoration
of the men who have brought these
benefits to Ardmore. They are prov
ing their friendship for every citizen
of Ardmore by favoring this city with
their investments. 1t has been said
that no other field has ever been dis
covered and owned so generally by
home people, and little later on it
will be said of Ardmore that touch
of oil never before wrought such won
ders in the growth of a city. Ardmore
ought to, and does feel grateful to its
men of the oil fraternity.

WAR ORDERS COMING SOUTH

Some statistician a few years ago
figured out that for every soc dis
tributed among the people by the
government south of the Ohio river
that sl4 was distributed among the
people north of that stream. In this
connection it is noticeable that in
the purchases of war supplies for
the troops on the border that many
of these orders have come to the
south. Oklahoma mills are running
day and night on flour orders re-
ceived from the government, and the
city of Fort Worth has been given
the contract to supply the meats for
the army. These contracts make us
feel in some degree that we are a
part of the union. 1t leads us to hope
that some day the south will not be
Disseminated against, and that our
products will be held in equal favor
with those of other sections.

STATE WILL PROBE
SAND SPRINGS RIOT

Tulsa, Okla, July 19.-At a late
hour last night it was reported at
Sand Springs that the situation there,
which for time was critical as a
result of the friction between the
American and Spanish smelter work
ers, had subsidized and that there was
little fear for another outbreak of
hostilities or violent demonstration.
During Tuesday it was rumored
in Tulsa that Governor Williams had
been informed by Secretary Lansing
that a complete investigation of the
situation at Sand Springs would be
made by operators of the state de-
partment in response to request

rendered to him. The comfort he
sought to give The bereaved has been
given to the hearts made to bleed by
his passing, and that service was
rendered by an old friend who for
years had labored in the ministry
with him, assisted by his pastor. And
through all these years his girl wife
has been at his side encouraging and
strengthening. While he labored in
the cause he loved she too was busy
in the same w-Tk, and the fine family
they reared, the happy, contented and
useful old age to which they attained.
are in marked degree the results
of her activities. She has lived her
life too nobly to suffer a grief she
cannot bear. She has children and
loved ones to cheer and comfort her
old age. She has given too much of
her life to suffering humanity for
her to suffer and the living of such
a life gives her meat to eat, that
others not similarly situated know
not of.
In the passing Of this good man,
there comes an inspiration to try to
reach the heights of faith to which
he had attained, and in that there
Is an eternal comfort to his two sons.

made by the Spanish consul at New
Orleans, to whom an appeal had been
sent by the Spaniards who were driv-
en- from Sand Springs by an armed
body of Americans late Saturday
night
Spaniards branded as false the
statements published in afternoon pa
pers that they were arming themselv-
es and would attempt to return to
their work at the smelters by the
use of arms if need be. To refute
this statement they pointed to the
fact that several of the foreigners
who had been driven from Sand
Springs by the Americans had return
ed to the smelters, secured their
money and personal belongings and
had purchased tickets for other cities

RELIEVING MExlcANS OF THEIR
GUNS.

Whenever there's the possibility of
trouble in Texas owing to the pos
session of concealed weapons by the
MeXicans scenes like the two shown
in the picture have been quite com
mon. The photographs were taken
a few days ago in Madero City, Hidal-
go county, Tex. The upper photo
shows men of the Second Texas
searching a Mexican hut for firearms
while some of their comrades stand
on guard outside. In the lower pic
ture one of the Texas boys is seen
taking a gun from a Mexican. Most
of the MeXicans in Texas do not love
"gringos." A correspondent tells Of
seeing in a saloon a picture of Maxi
milian's execution and hearing an in
mate referring to the shooting, say
Viva Mexico; all gringos get the

THE people whom preparedness
most concern are the men and the
wives and families of the men who
in war constitute the rank and file of
the armies of the world" Major Gen.

them" he said, "a better possible

hausted, and we desire for their fam
lilies a better future than starvation
amid the ruins of their homes and

protect us against unjust aggression
| When once there is a general appre-
citation of the fact that equality OF
obligation goes with equality of
privilege, or in other words, that OBJ

talk about war, and more effort to
adjust international difficulties by
means other than force whenever
possible. We shall also have much
more serious appreciation of what n
resort to force means for each and
every one of us. Preparation of the
men of a nation to make themselves
effective and efficient defenders in
case of possible stress or trouble is
one of the strongest influences for
national solidarity. 1t tends to re-
move those little distinctions incl
dent to religion and social position
and to make all men appreciative of
the fact that, after all, they belong
to one country, and that one of their
most important duties is to be ready
to defend it effectively
