CITIZENS COMMITTEE AND CITY
OFFICIALS CONFER OVER THIS
MATTER FRIDAY ANOTHER
MEETING TOMORROW.

The answer to the question as TO
whether Caddo street needs larger
storm sewer to take care OF the sur
face water was discussed at meet
ing of the citizens committee and the
Board of City Commissioners Friday
afternoon, was given yesterday morn
ing when the torrents that descended
again oyerfowed some Of the business
houses along this street. causing
more or less damage. This Is but
one of many times this has occurred
and the city officials are anxious TO
devise means for raising funds to rem
edy It in the future. Friday afternoon
the mayor and commissioners invited
citizens to meet with them and dis
lcuss the advisability OF voting BOND
issue for three specific purposes that
will aggregate one hundred thousand
dollars First, for the extension OF
the water and sewer mains to districts
now without them, but which are be
ing rapidly covered with residences;
second to raise funds for purchasing
the convention hall lot from the cit
liens who recently purchased it, and
TO erect the convention hall thereon;
third, to enlarge the storm sewer on
Caddo street in order that what oc-
Cured yesterday morning will never
be repeated. The matter was thor
oughly discussed by many prominent
,citizens who were present and all
agreed that the bonds should be voted
for the purpose named, but in laying
water pipes and sewers 1t was urged
that they not only be extended to coy

is disposed of.

Yesterday afternoon the Chamber
of Commerce met and appointed the
following persons to act in conjunc-
tion with the committee appointed by
the mayor Friday to take up the mat
ter of the convention hall PROPOSE
ton. They will meet tomorrow morn
ing with the other committee at the
city hall at nine o'clock: w. b. john

This committee will work for the
convention hall and will be prepared
to make a report to the citizens com

tion ought to be praised for putting
out production of such vital con-
Germ to every human being"
G. C. Jones, l.. l.. D., formerly presi-
dent of the Oklahoma College for
Young Ladies, made the following
statement:
Having witnessed the picture on
the screen at the Folly Theatre dis
playing Damaged Goods" would say
that it is worthy to be seen by all 1t
portrays, with delicacy. a subject the
schools find very difficult to present,
hence it would be a great lesson TO
every teacher and pupil as well as ev-
cry father and mother, and none
should fail to give it careful attention
while being shown this week. The
management of the Folly deserves
great credit in assisting in the in
struction on this vital subject"

or the present demand but that they
be extended to cover any territory
necessary that is likely to be utilized
for building purposes for the next
five years 10 come, In order that the
people will not be burdened with a
bond issue every year or two.
The convention hall proposition was
discussed thoroughly and all agreed
that a hall with a seating capacity of
$500 people should be erected at
cost for the building and lot OF not
to exceed $4,000. This, 1t Is figured
roughly, will give Ardmore conven-
ton hall amply large for any gather
ing that might want to come here. and
at the same time Ardmore would not
fall into the error of other cities OF
the state which have erected elabo-
rate convention halls at an enormous
cost that has since been burden to
the taxpayers.
IL was proposed finally that definite
plans be asked for and the advice OF
an architect sought who could be In
position to give fuller details and a
committee was appointed by the may
or to meet with the city council Mon
day morning at nine o'clock, at which
time definite action toward the pro
posed bond issue be taken. The pro
posed issue of one hnndred thousand
dollars would probably be divided as
follows, although the suggestion was
merely tentative, and might be chang
ed differently:
$4,000 for convention hall.
$4,000 for enlarging the Caddo street
sewer.
100000 for the extension of water
mains and sewers.
This, however, was only a sugges-
ton and even the amount OF the BOND
issue may be reduced below 100000,
or NAV be raised, as the necessity de
mands.
The city at the meeting tomorrow
morning will be represented by the
mayor, City Engineer Carlock, CITY
Attorney Brown and Commissioners
Dewitt, Hunt, Lasher and London.
The citizens committee, which VIII
make Investigations and be ready to
report. is composed of j. w. Harreld,
Roy M. Johnson, II. A. Heffner w.

f. X. West, Malone Lykins, Mark
Kirkuatrick and Rev j. w. Burns.
u. c. Dings, who was present, was
called away before the meeting closed
but he sounded the keynote when he
advised the mayor and commission
ers to get all data available in order
to go before the people and be able
to show the necessity for these con
templated improvements. Mr.. Dings
stated that he was heartily in favor
of every proposition suggested, and
he voiced the sentiment of every citi-
zen present Ardmore is growing so
rapidly that something will have to be
done along the lines suggested, unless
1t is the desire of the citizens that
the town should grow no further.
Therefore, it is believed that there
will be no opposition to any bond is
sue for such legitimate purposes as
suggested.
The white way proposition was an
other feature to be discussed, but
owing to the fact that so much time
was spent on the other matters, it
was but briefly mentioned, and will
be taken up later, although all who
were present were heartily in favor
of extending it from the Santa Fe
railroad to street, This matter Will
have to be taken up with the indi-
vidual property owners, as they Will

The Russians pace is the shortest, be-

gooseberries. An examination of such
bushes in the vicinity of white pine Is.
therefore. essential in aSCertaining the
extent of the disease and the prObahil-
ity Of further infection.
From June till the time tn" leaves
fall the bushes should be searched for
the mculy yellow masses which, hardly
larger than Il pinhead, may yet be SO
abundant as to cover large part of
the lower surface Of the leaf. Later
in the fail the lower surface Of the leaf
is also marked by short, hairy out
groWths.
It is known that the rust was brought
into this country In nursery stock from
ported stock therefore, ARE much more
likely to br infected than thoS" raised
from seed in this country. for the rust
is not transmitted in seed, but in nurS-
cry stool, only. Owners of planted
trees, therefore, are urged to iuvcS'i-
gate the history of their trees even
when they show no evidence of infeC-
tjon. If it cannot be proved that the
trees We're grown from seed in this
country, they should be watched close
| ~ ana continually for dead tops and
| side branches If there is any reason
10 suspect the existence of the rust,
arrangements can be made with the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton for an inspection by experts. This
inspection Is regarded as most nee
cSsary measure for the protection not
only of the owner of the individual
stand in question but for the protection
Of every owner of white pine in the
ucighborhoOd. The destruction of in
fcrtcd stock is Imperative if the spread
of the disease Is to be checked.
Another precaution urged In the bull
lctin already mentioned is the require
mcnt, in purchasing trees, of Il Guuran-
" that they have been raised under
conditions which cflcCtually have safe

Education in South China.

Literacy among the people of South
China is considerably greater than
among those of the North. Claim is
advanced in Canton that nearly all the
children of Cantonese parentage, eX-
cept those of the large boat popula-
ton, receive sufficient schooling to en-
able them to learn to read, whereas in
the North of China it is unusual to
lind family the children of which
are all placed in school. The native
newspaper is read by considerably
larger number than the list of sub
scribers to that paper would make 1t
appear. In and about Shanghai pa
pers are sold two and three times
over. Collectors go about gather
ing up the newspapers of the previous
days issue, redstrbuting them among
the lower class of population. 1t is
said that they are then further dis
tributed by being sent out to the vii
lagos and country sections, where they
are sold for fraction of a cent apiece.

Narka, kan.-Some Of the citizens of
Narka had the opportunity few days
ago of witnessing a number of intoXi-
Gated hogs. V. Ii. Greuter, the owner,
noticing their queer actions and think
ing the animals sick, called a local
veterinary, who after careful eXamina-
ton pronounced them drunk.
Then the owner began to figure out
where they had found the booze in pro
hibtion Kansas, and finally concluded
that his swine had become intoxicated
from cherry pits dumped into the slop,
and these, standing in the barrel for
several days, had gone through Il pro-
cess of fermentation.

HEROES OF FIELD KITCHEN
Ranked as Noncombatants, Men Who
Feed the Soldiers Are Constantly
Facing Death.

Often, when the death struggle Is at
its height and condition approx
marely chaos exists in the immediate
rear of the battling armies. the fight
ing mans waste of energy and strength
Is repaired through the medium of that
unique vehicle, the field Kitchen. No
one who has not campaigned with
, troops enjoying the comforts of the
field kitchen can appreciate how much
1t makes for gustatory satisfaction,
and how it promotes that elusive and
highly important fighting factor-mo-
rale.
One winters night in Poland, after
spending the day watching wave upon
wave of gray-coated soldiers roll up
and break against the Russian trenches
and entanglements, | was making my
way back to a field hospital where
was a guest when my eyes caught the
twinkle of long row of lights that
wavered above the road The lights

glory of battle; yet the character OF
their courage stood the severest tests.
What the presence of these kitchens
