SURPRISE PARTY

A large crowd of young ladies and gentlemen met at the home of MT. Hepler Wednesday even- ing and marched in a body to the home of Miss Nyal Douglas, who was taken completely by surprise by the appearance of so many of her young friends. The party went to honor and cheer Miss Nyal, who has been an in- valid for a long time and the lit tie sufferer was overjoyed at the thoughtfulness of her associates and friends. Many beautiful flow CTS were taken by the party to the little patient, thus showing their love of her through the flowers, and she in turn demonstrated her appreciation of them by the wreath of smiles that played over her fair face. Speaking of flowers reminds of what Christ said on one occasion concerning them, Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. /" All knew that Miss Nyal was greatly pleased at their coming, and that she was made to feel better by their presence and kindly words. All had a splendid time and went to their several homes rejoicing that they had scattered sunshine and cheer along the pathway of their little friend. And none enjoyed the occasion more than Miss Nyal herself.

AT 2 O'CLOCK

The following editorial which appeared in the Joplin Globe of the 9th inst. is so truthful and contains so much food for refec- tion that we take the liberty of reproducing it in the Tribune: ! There was once a noted com. 'mander whose troops met with disaster on a certain day, but who said to one of his aids:
 The battle is completely lost, but it is only 2 o'clock and there is yet time to win another" And he did.
 At '2 o'clock" in their lives many men are failures. Thro' a bad start, or through bad habits, or through lack of due diligence, or perhaps through unforseeable Halsfortunes, they have missed the mark at which they shot, Many such, at forty or forty-hve years of age, settle back with a sigh and resign themselves to being failures. Il tried my best" they say, but fate was against me"
 What pity there art not more men like this commander, who Believed there was vet tine to Win another battle, If he had been defeated at 4 o'clock he would likely have said the same thing; it at 6 o'clock he would have said, There is another day coming, we can win tomor- row
 Much has been achieved in the forenoon of life, but much also has been achieved in life's after noon. At the age of S3 years Lord Iennyson wrote Crossing sthe Bar, that imperishable poem. At the same age Glad stone became premier of Eng siand. Between the ages of 70 and 90 Cato learned Greek and socrates studied music.

the sickening stench. You have turned your head and hurried Dv in disgust.
 Retiring places for the public are often equally filthy, so much so as to be an actual menace to the health of the community.
 You can look around town and find rubbish in every direction. Vacant lots, alley ways, streets, gutters, everywhere an evidence ot neglect-because it is the other fellows lot, and the streets and alleys and gutters belong to the public, and what is the public's business is too often nobody's business at all.
 But why is it so? Why can we not be as clean and neat in our surroundings as we are in our persons and in our homes? Why can we not observe cleanliness in all ways instead of in only few?
 These things are worth your serious consideration, brother, for they have powerful infu- ence on the future of our town and on the general health of the people.
 If you think such conditions when they exist are not con- stant menace, ask any doctor. He knows.
 There is seldom happy me djum. Generally it is either clean Iiness or filthiness, and we don't want tilthiness in this toWnl

 The money for this work is to come from an Eastern firm and it will practically all be spent in the county. The work will be men in the county and they will in turn spend it with the merchants and business men of the county.

CLEANLINESS AND FfLTHiNEss


 The Lord does not expect us all to be godly, but He does ex- pect us to be clean clean not only in person, but in our sur roundings.
 Now just3pause moment and let's consider this town not from the standpoint of the kicker, but from that of the well-wisher, the builder.
 You, reader, are scrupulously clean with your person. You take your baths regularly, you cleanse your hands and face be- fore each meal, you keep your hair neatly brushed, your nails tr .mmed, and yourself generally both attractive and sanitary. ye2 see 3 person eecase-

 The iaborer i1par advice, their removes the evide. V w. ~ when his days work Is over. He emerges a man, intelligent, clean and sanitary
 So much for the person of hu- manity,
 In the homes of our community you will find the same evidence of scrupulous care and attention to the smallest details. Spotless cleanliness is the word in ma &ofity of homes, while at least adequate cleanliness is almost the universal rule, You expect noth- ing else, and you find nothing else.
 No criticism, therefore, can be made of our homes.
 But let us step outside the homes and survey the situation.
 Many of the same people who are so immaculate in their per sons and so spotless in their homes are little short of slovenly in their outer surroundings. A few are dangerously near to be- ing filthy, and yet appear to have practically no realization of the fact.
 Back yards are strewn with rubbish that should have been burned. Garbage is thrown out in the yard or over the fence. to stink and fester and breed flies and disease. Grass and weeds grow and multiply and become unsightly to the eye. Cleanli- ness is buried under the evidence of forgetfulness and neglect.
 What is said of the back yard may often be repeated of the front yard or lawn, with a few reservations. It, too, is lacking in that scrupulous care given to the person and the home.
 The barn? We hardly know now to describe the conditions that sometimes prevail in these places. You have witnessed them, you have seen the mil lions of flies A,aaaing around and breeding osher millions to spread. fIIA and disease and death Yn,7,,

APPROVAL FROM
 THOSE AWAY

Hale, Mo-, May '. 1916. Editor Tribune: m
 l note with interest in your issue of May 4 that it is suggest ed that movement be started at once to erect a suitable monu- ment at the grave of the late Prof. Burney.
 This was a happy thought and l want to lend it my unqualified indorsement. 1 am sure that the pupils of Prof. Burney through out the country will deem it privilege to share the expense of erecting a monument in memory of this distinguished educator. 1 think the amount expended should not be less than one thou sahd dollars, and l will gladly contribute a becoming amount to make it that much or even more.
 1 am sure that there are more than 1, ,000 former students of the Green Forest High School that have only to be notified that con- tribution is desired.
 l hope some one in a position to do so will take the matter in hand and push it to completion. 1 would be only to glad to take the iniative steps in the move- ment myself if l were on the ground.
 Green Forest has indeed suf-' fered a great loss, but the state and county have suffered more.
 was d pupil at the first term of school taught by Prof. Burney in Green Forest, and in common with hundreds of other boys and girls, many of whose heads are now well tinged with silver threads, ] would likegss bring; some testimony of appreciation of the work of the man to whom l am so grateful for having di. rected my feet in the path of education.

Marietta is a formidable ally OF
Ardmore during Fashion Week. Ac'
cordinr to statement made by May
or J. {. Graham who was here to
witness the initial exercises, spec
ial train will be run from Marietta
today, if the weather Is at all favor
able. These people are coming TO
hear the Fifth Artillery band and 20
see the opening game of baseball De-
tween Marietta and Ardmore of the
Southern Oklahoma league. Mr. era
ham has heard the artillery Dahd
before. and it was primarily the mu-
sic which attracted his presence here
If is the opinion of Mr.. Graham
that Ardmore is bountifully able at
this time to organize and tram
hand of its own. He states that III
all probability Prof Montin could DE
induced to cast his lot with this city
and if his services could be secured
the people should not spare time or
expense to get his services in the
organization and training of a local
band.
Southern Oklahoma expects much
of Ardmore, and the city has an op-
nortunitv now to become the center
of a great activity. While Ardmore
is growing, it is not doing so at the
EXPENSE of any other portion OF the
state All the towns of the south
ern portion of the state are in pros
perous condition, and Ardpore people
and the Ardmore press deals gener'
ously with other towns, and stronger
bonds of friendship are beng en-
couraged day by day.
