BIC REFINERY
MAY COME To
ARDMORE NOW
FORMER CITIZEN WRITES SECRE-
TARY WEST, STATING THAT
TIME is RIPE TO SECURE AN
OTHER INDUSTRY.

L. A. Walker, a former resident
of this city, has written the sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce
that the time is ripe for Ardmore
to secure another large refinery, and
urges that the citizens do not over
look the benefits of adding 70 the
industries of Ardmore.
Mr.. Walker moved to OkIlhoma
City some time ago, but he has al
ways retained a keen interest II the
advancement of the city. He is a
large property owner here, and is con-
stantly looking to the advancement CT
the business interests of the city
Following is Mr. Walkers letter
to the secretary of the Chambe" of
Commerce:
F. X. West, Secretary
Commercial Club,
Ardmore, Okla.
Dear Sir:
In my judgment Ardmore has a
most excellent opportunity of locating
a big refinery if it will get busy, and
stay busy, in the next few weeks.
| have reason to believe that the
Roxana Petroleum company will erect
a refinery in that vicinity during this
summer, and in my opinion if Ard
more is not alert the refinery will
go to Ringing rather than Ardmore.
| note rom the paper that the matter
was up few weeks ago, but it oc-
Cured to me that it is possible that
you are not continuing to push it.
The time is now ripe for action,
| believe, and this letter is written to
remind you of the situation.
Yours truly.
E. A. WALKER.

A family outing yesterday at
Rock Crossing on Hickory
Creek, resulted in a tragedy
that touched the hearts of Ard
more people. Three persons
lost their lives by drowning.
The dead are:
CLAUDE STUBBLEFlELD,
aged As.
CLAUDIA STUBBLEFIELD,
aged 16.
GEORGIA MANSFIELD,
aged 10.
In the party on the creek to
spend a few hours were Mr..
and Mrs. Claud Stubblefield
and their children, Claudia,
aged 16, Clara Belle aged ~,
Jack aged 10, and Cortez, aged
3, and Mrs. John Stubblefield,
Georgia Mansfield, Gladys
Allen and Tom Allen. The par
ty was there in two cars. The
children and young people of
the party were wading in the
creek. The two girls who lost
their lives were walking hand
in hand when they stepped in
to hole of water from twelve
to fifteen feet deep. Those on
the bank were attracted by
their cries and Mr.. Stubblefield
threw a few of his garments
off and jumped into the water
to save them. Miss Mansfield
was first to be reached and she
tightened her arms about him
and they Immediately sank.
They rose twice together and
their arms were still about
each other. Mr.. Stubblefield's
trousers fell about mis- feet, and
it was impossible for him to
swim or to wrest himself from
the frightened girl and to res
cue her or save himself. Mr..
Stubblefield was very strong
man but he was not accustomed
to the water.
Claudia Stubblefield fought
bravely for her life. She was
cooler and quieter in the face
of death then the others. She
talked to her mother and to
Mrs. John Stubblefeld and
they encouraged her.
The two Mrs Stubblefield made a
rope of their hands and almost reach
ed her at one time. When the girl
>rose to the top the second time, her
M3e brother Jack, ten years old, told
his mother he was going to save his
sister and he plunged into the water.
A braver little hero never entered
the water With only slight knowl-
edge of swimming and his sister much
larger than himself he went to her
to attempt her rescue. He swan to her
and caught her by the hand, but his
strength was not sufficient to pull
her from the water and the girl too,
%eemed to understand the situation.
When she realized that she was drown
ing she thought of the little rescuer
and turned him loose. If the girl had
ever become panic stricken and had
grasped her brother, he, too, would
have been with the number drowned.
While the creek was deep 1t was
narrow and those who drowned lost
their lives near the bank. The family
was not equipped with ropes or any
other means of giving aid to the
drowning and while every effort that
could have been made by the women
and children was made, yet they were
unable to give relief. Mrs. Stubble-
field drove her car a mile to farm

CONSULTATIONS

It frequently becomes necessary for men to consult superior officer, witb reference tc matters in their charge AS the officer must often express an opinion without time for complete investigation, he cannot afford to be too sure of his ground. Therefore the interests of the business require it to be understood that a large share of responsibility in such matters must be borne by the man in charge of the department handling them.
 Needless to say, person Wis mas sought to work out a problem not only obtains information, but reaps the bene- fit of thought on the subject; a President of the United States has aptly defined this process as the fruit of thought. Ex- perience shows that 1t is rarely desirable for risks to be taken against the judg- ment of the man in charge of the matter at issue. Or the other hand, the percent age of profit on transactions is usually to refuse to incur risk, even though it has been recommended by the man conducting the negotiation
 THOUGHT
 Someone has illustrated the value of capable thinking by the statement that tho thought of Archimedes was greater than his lever; and all who have dealt with problems of importance are bound to recognize the need for careful thought. A very Observant man has recently said that an essential defect in the equipment of many executives, is the lack of suffi- cient leisure to thoroughly think out the problems of each day. At one time it was the writer's practice to walk to and from home two or three times a day; ana my experience was that this gave excellent opportunity for deliberating upon the general work of the day, as well as upon special questions that had to be decided. A barber's chair is also splendid place for thinking, provided, of course. the barber is not loquacous.
 On one occasion, we were at first strongly inclined to make certain ad- vertising contract, but while walking home. the writer, canvassing the subject thoroughly. concluded that it was a bad proposition, and 15 minutes spent in this way. we have always believed was the means of saving more than 5000. Ab- sences of day or more from one's of flee, free from the interruptions and rou- tine incident to the days work, afford an excellent time for thinking clearly Without intending to suggest that vaca- tions be made laborious. it may be added
