ADVERTISING OIL PROPOSITIONS.

Some friend from Colorado has
been thoughtful enough TO mail to
The Ardmoreitc a copy Of the Denver
Post which shows the pictures of Roy
NJ Johnson. Edward Gait and A. r.
McGhee of Ardmorc. These pictures
are used in the advertisement of an
oil company of Muskogee The ad-
yertisement states that these three
men invested $40 each in the Coline
Oil company ana sold out for one
million dollars As distasteful as 1t is
to these Ardmore people, their names
and their pictures are being used to
induce people in other states to make
investments in oil propositions in Ok
lahoma. while these men we're not
members of the Coline Oil company
they are members of the Crystal Oil
company, whose holdings are worth
double the price the Coline sold for
yet they do not appreciate the fact
that their names are being used to
induce others to invest their savings
in all kinds of different oil schemes
The influence of their quick fortune
has cost many a wage Garner money.
Several companies operating in Ok.
lahoma are engaging in the selling of
stock all over the United States. Some
of these companies are being conduct
ed in a busness-like manner, but
there are others. which are selling
lands that no oil man in the country
has any confidence in. They are sell
ing lands that look like they have
already been condemned by the drill.
II is unfair to Oklahoma to have these
flaming advertisements put out and it
is unfair to the wage earners to have
their money taken ON many of these
schemes.
Not long since an oil man was in
the offices Of one Of these stock selling
companies. Letters were pouring in
from people who had taken stock or
were taxing stock IN concerns That
promise TO yield a dividend OF a mill.
ion from an investment of only a
few dollars. Widows send the pie
lures of their children to these com
panies and state how great their need
is for money to support their little
ones and make diligent inquiry as to
when they may expect to reap har.
vest OF thousands from 2 few dollars
placed in these companies.
II an army OF an the men who have
made investments in oil and had lost
were TO march down the streets Of
Denver. and il that army could be fol-
lowed by the small number who have

made money out Of Oklahoma oil the
people would realize that investments
made in this manner are purely a gam
bic. with the big chances against the
investor The people hear Of the hun
drcd who win and never hear of the
thousand who lose All the facts ought
TO be- told to the people. There are
many good oil investments today IN
Oklahoma. but nobody knows Just
where these investments are. II there
was way To determine. the rich oil
men would take them in a day Oil in
vcstments are considered gamble.
The chances are many times against
the investor. and the man who bites
at the other mans scheme usually
loses.

NEW CHAIRMAN
IS GOING OUT
FOR BALLOTS
CHAIRMAN COTNER OF COUNTY
CENTRAL COMMITTEE STATES
THAT HE is ON THE JOB -
GOING AFTER VOTES.

sunny jim" Cotner, the newly
| elected chairman of the democratic
county central committee, has issued
an ukase. lie has sent forth the word
that there is going to be something
doing in democratic circles or he will
know the reason why, and that some
thing that he is going to insist upon
is for every democrat in the county
to get busy and see that every demo
cratic vote is polled at the general
election in November.
Jimmie was very outspoken in pay
ing his respects, or rather his disre-
spects to that class of half-baked dem
ocrats who are at present flirting with
the so called independents" and are
rather inclined to other doctrines. He
says he is going to insist that every
one declare himself, and either affili-
ate with the democratic party in the
future or go join the socialists and re-
publicans where they rightly belong.
81 have very little patience with any
man who will go into a democratic
primary, cast ballot and then, be-
cause their particular choice is de-
feated knife the regular nominee at
the general election understand
that we have several of this breed in
Carter county, but they will be num-
bered and when they again try to en-
ter a democratic primary they will
find their way beset with stumbling
blocks"
Mr.. Cotner states that he is going to
begin from today to instill every mem
ber of the county central committee
with the Importance of immediate
action in the hopes of piling up the
biggest democratic majority ever re-
corded in the history of the county.
THE real menace to the democratic
party in Carter county is not from the
republicans and socialists Their
combined numbers would cut but very
| little figure in an election, but it is
from a certain class of weakened
democrats who bolt the ticket if their
particular candidate is not chosen at
the primary. | hope to see a law
passed governing primaries, so fixed
that there will be separate tickets
for each Of the parties, and when a
man goes into a democratic party he
will have to stand hitched in the gen.
eral election or be denied the right
to vote. In other words, II man
goes into a democratic primary, he
be furnished a democratic ticket at
the general election. In this way
there would be one of two things hap
pen,-there would either be scatter
ing of the so-called Independents. who
are nothing more or less than repub-
licans. or there would not be so many
votes polled at the primaries
Mr.. Cotner is beginning an active
campaign, and if the leaders of the
party in this county will take his
advice there will be a number of dis
appointed republicans and "independ-
ents" when the ballots are counted in
November.

BOHEMIAN LANGUAGE
SCHOOL IN DICKINSON

At the executive meeting of the
Western Bohemian Brotherhood AS
ISOLATION at their Dickinson hall Sun
day last, the resolution was acted
upon to have the Bohemian Language
Students Class organized here for
permanent and thorough study of the
Bohemian or Czech language, which
is the most evolved and cultured
among the Slavic languages and a
key to all Of them.
The parents represented in the as
ISOLATION have come to the conclusion
that it would constitute a gross neg
lect, on their part, of their duties to-
wards their children who have ac-
CURED the elements of the mother
tongue in their infancy, not to give
them opportunity Of perfecting them
selves in it, the more SO as Slavic is
spoken by over n hundred and fifty
millions of people.
Almost E. Zidek, the new manager
of the NJ. l.. Mcbride Co. of this city,
who is an accomplished linguist, was
selected to organize and conduct
students classes Of children and
Young people who wish to partakc in
the study.
The first meeting of students is
Sunday afternoon at the Bohemian
hall and parents wishing to have their
children attend may bring them there
and effect their enrolment. Glasses
will be organized Sunday and instruc-
ton commenced the ensuing week.
Grown up boys and girls will be given
opportunity to attend weekday even
ings.
No fees will be charged except a
very small contribution towards the
upkecp of the class room and meeting
of expense. instruction is entirely
linguistic and Independent of the as
ISOLATION or its tendencies, making it
possible for anyone to partake.

CARNIVAL AND
BIG CELEBRATION
BEGINS JULY )

The C.. A. Workman Shows that
open a weeks engagement in Dickin-
son, commencing July Ord, under the
auspices of the baseball Association,
are certainly receiving the endorse
ment of the press and public of the
cities where they have appeared this
season. And when the big tents are
pitched on the streets of Dickinson
what a fairyland of wonderment will
greet the gaze of expectant crowds
that will wind their various ways
through the labyrinth of magnificent
fronts, resplendent in coats of flash
ing gold and silver and handycraft Of
the creative genius everywhere ap-
parent.
In preparing for the season just
opening Mr.. Workman has but n
thought in mind-Novelty. Every
endeavor has lead to that goal.
Every thought has been to consul
mate a reality. The world has grown
tired of the same old shows, some
times presented in a new manner or
under a new title, and Workman was
quick to realize that continued pa
tronage must be met with something
new. That he has not labored in vain
will be apparent 500 for the shows
this year are far superior to the one
that MI. Workman brought to Dick
inson last year.
Behind the grand glittering fronts
of the Workman Shows will be found
amongst other attractions, Toyland,
an absolutely new feature novelty,
Kentucky Derby, featuring a dozen
monkeys in a novel rae around a
circular track; Over and nder the
Sea, a mechanical show, with battle
ships, submarines, aeroplanes and
other warlike craft in full operation;
Mike Zinney's Arabian Nights; Cap.
La Dare's Panama Canal; Backman's
Anglo-Saxons Wild Animal Show, My
Ladies Fan, Krails Wonderland and
Preparedness, one of the greatest
novelties ever conceived by the brain

what the Battle Cry of Peace is to

Among the riders is The Whip, the

ton OF the country that the show will
travel, a distinct novelty in the way
Of sensational rides. The Ferris
Wheel and a three-abreast Carry-us-
all will also be on hand.
Prof. Jameson will have his big
military band of thirty pieces and will
entertain the public with three con-
certs daily. The big shows will ar
rive some time Sunday evening and
no doubt a big crowd will assemble
at the depot to see the long string of
beautifully painted cars as they pull
into Dickinson. The big wagons will
be unloaded at the Northern Pacific

Let a Cold
Get a Good Start

The way to check a cold is to hght
+ from the first. Even the worst
maiaSies often are easily conquered
if attacked early enough: Colds may
lead TO asthma, bronchial troueies'
and pulmonary aftectlonse srst
treatment of these n OF n nrst
needs is to build up body resistance
Eckman's Alternative often has as
sisted in such upbuilding. AS a treat
ment for the troubles named, it a
been used for more tha twenty
years. And in many instances 1t a
effected lasting relief. o..
As with any other medacine, It
should he regarded only as a first aid
