The Mothers Club Of the High
school held a call meeting yesterday
afternoon at the Randoi Hotel, follow
ing the cooking school lecture. This
meeting had been called for the pur-
pose of formulating plans for the
equipment of the Domestic Science
rooms at the High school. After nu-
merous plans were suggested and dis
cussed Mrs John F. Easley, chairman
of the finance committee, announced
that she had an announcement to
make, which she felt would be of in
terest and would solve the problem
confronting them. Mrs. Easley then
proceeded to tell that she had in her
possession $3.50, a sum contributed by
-. Ia, In hnr tpIlinp
them of the needs of the ladies' This
was indeed a surprise. An expression
of gratitude to Mrs. Easley, in her
splendid work in collecting this lib
eral sum and to the men who had re
sponded so readily to the call, Is made
by the school board, the teachers and
the pupils. They feel that Mrs. Easley
did solve the great problem confront
ing them and mere words fail to ex-
press their thanks and appreciation of
her efforts in their behalf. The work of
equipping the rooms rs in progress,
due to the unselfish work of Mrs.
Easley and the liberality Of the men
of Ardmore.
The Jewish feast OF Tabernacles or
Succoth will commence on Wednes-
day evening, October II, and will last
for nine days. According to the Bible
the feast lasted only seven days. In
the course of time, however, the feast
was heightened to nine days; the last
two being the Eighth day OF Solemn
Assembly or the Feast of Conclusion,
and the Day of the Rejoicing for the
Law. Succoth, means booths, and the
name owes it's origin 10 the fact that
on this feast many families build fes-
tive booths in which the holiday meals
are served. In some cases pious peo-
pie will spend all the days of the feast
living in the booth in order to give
literal fulfilment to the injunction:
'In booths shall ye dwell seven days
The frail booth built as a temporary
dwelling, an imperfect shelter from
the eltUltulSt Is W man hAA"N
he is constantly under the protection
of the Almighty, just as the fathers
Of Israel we're under His protection
in the wilderness. I'm order that your
generations may know that I made
the children of Israel dwell in booths,
when | brought them up from the land
of Egypt" The sentiment of the feast
is rooted deep in the ancient agricul'
tural life of Israel. Succoth was one
of the great pilgrimage festivals. The
other two we're Passover and the
Feast of Weeks. Each of these was
at the harvest time OF some particular
crop. On these three occasions the
people from all over the land of Ca
naan would jurney to the Holy City
and spend the festival there. This
feast. Succoth, known also as the
Feast of Ingathering was at the time
