EXPENSE WILL
 BE NOMINAL IN
 w. c. A. FUND
Man Who Directed Work Will Receive $75O And
 Travelling Expenses.

The '. w. c. A. campaign for funds which has been so generously responded to under the direction of M. c. Williams and a corps of cap tains and workers, will not be discon- tinued until the $25O.oOO mark is reached.
 Mrs. James G. LudIum of the gen era1 staff stated today that subscrip- tions were still being received, a new one for $1,0OO having arrived today by mail.
 Rumor prevalent that a large per centage of the receipts was to go to the director who was employed for the purpose of guiding the campaign was denied by MT. LudIum today, who asked that the facts be published broadcast. MT. Williams is to receive his fixed price of $750 plus travelling expenses, which will amount to about $125. The incidental expenses occurred by the committees in Bridgeport for printing, meetings, etc, will not amount to more than per cent of the collections and are estimated to be less than $1,000.
 Though a site committee consisting of Edward B. Bassick. chairman; D. FairchiId Wheeler, c. w. Hawley and Albert E. Lavery has been viewing sites for the new building, no definite location has yet been decided upon.
 A central location is desirable for the administration building which will be a fine structure capable of caring for the needs of young women to a de- gree far greater than has ever been attempted in Bridgeport.
 At the closing banquet of the cam paign at The Strattie1d Saturday night it was announced that $22O,OOO had been collected. The business women of the city swel1ed the previous total by $11,OO0 in one days collection. Special and private efforts will be made to gain the balance of money to complete the $25O.OOO fund.

ARDMORE TO BE CLEAN CITY,
SAYS ACTING MAYOR LASltER

The matter of get.inS The new san
itary ordinance in good working or
der is putting the city officials to
a great deal of explaining, ana sSXs
explaining would be greatly reduced
if the citizens would do just a small
amount of sober thinking.
The acting mayor, in speaking Of
the matter stated this morning that
it was his opinion that by the end
of the month Of May the sanitary or
dinance would be the most popular
one on the books OF the city, for
the reason that people would under
stand it better and would see the
great need of a systematic cleaning
of the city. The watchwords of the
board of health are SANITY and
Sanitation" and no one will be charg
ed for a service not in keeping with
good sense, and which is not for the
promotion of the good health of all
the people. Ardmore is naturally 4
healthful place, and If it were not
true the absolute lack of sanitation
in the past would have brought on
ten times the sickness the city has
experienced.
AS to the knockers,-and they are
few in number,-if they could know
that the enforcing of the terms of
the ordinance would prevent case
of typhoid fever in their home, or
perhaps a death in the family, their
knocking would quickly turn to boost
ing. A hint to the wise, even
though a knocker, should be suffic-
lent.

League called on the mayor and san

EFFECTS IN SATURDAYS FIRE
WILL BE REIMBURSED IF PEO-
PIE WILL FOLLOW LEAD.

The three young lady teachers in
the city schools who were so unfOr-
tunate as to lose all of their personal
effects in fire which destroyed
the Brady home Saturday, have the
nucleus of a fund left for them at
this office by some of their frienis
who appreciated their plight and de-
sired to assist them '''"
The young ladies will not be aware
of this until they see this article in
print, as it was not at their solicit
alton that the fund was started.
Anyone desiring to contribute to this
fund may do so by leaving same al
this office.
The young ladies have faithfully
served the citizens of the city for
some time, and while their loss may
seem small to many, yet to young
lady who has her own way to make
in the world, it is exceedingly large.
It is hoped that the generous spirit
of Ardmore people will assert itself
and that the contributions may be
large and numerous.

A FORTY-ACRE FARM
Owner Has Collected $4,000 and Still
Has His Land.

A citizen of Terrell, who owns a
forty-acre farm in section 1854, sold
a lease on his place in the early
days of Healdton for $4,000. The
purchaser forfeited out when some
dry holes were drilled up that way,
rather than pay 81 an acre for re-
newal. The owner has recently sold
the same lease to one of the big
operators for $4,000. The owner has
collected $4,000, and still owns the
fee to his land. The northwest ex-
tension is making that territory
look good, and acreage is changing
hands and some good tests are prom
ised up that way, because those do
ing the buying have way of drilling
as long as there are any prospects
for a strike.
