LOCAL. Oil Men Alive.

Sometimes it seems that Fora
takes wings and some very rapid trips
are made over these rough roads in
them. One of these cars left here
Wednesday at noOL in which were
seated Walter Cant, D. c. Fitzgerald.
w. F. Daiber and l.. r. Crowell a
visit was made to the Santa Fe well
at Kilgcre in stephens county, thence
to Waurika and to the Wichita Falls
country, back to the Santa Fe well
and to Ardmore. The trip covered
something like $50 miles. These trips
demonstrate thai the Ardmore frater-
nifty is keeping strictly up with oil
development and this is the once
chance that Ardmore has to make an
oil city. Our own folks mus grow 10
be big men in the business and as that
wealth comes in here Ardmore will
continue to grow.

LOOK OUT
FOR GRASS
FIRES NOW
WHEN SENDING. IN AN ALARM
THE FIRE CoMMlS SSIoNER DE
sIRES THAT THE NATURE OF
THE BLAZE BE REPORTED.

Joe NJ. London commissioner OF
fire and police issued a statement
Saturday that should appeal to every
right thinking man or woman in the
city. Every time small grass fire
starts in any section of the city the
alarm is given as though it We're a
confligation of buildings, this neces-
sarily demands response from the
entire fire fighting equipment of the
city to do that which a light truck
might accomplish in a few moments
without the wear and tear on men,
teams and heavier equipment that
must respond. The commissioner de
sires that in the future when an
alarm is turned in that the one send
in. it give the nature of the blaze
and thereby doing away with lot OF
unnecessary work and worry to say
nothing of the wear and tear of ma
chineTy.
Saturday the department had to
make two long runs on these kind
of calls, when the light auto truck
could have done the same work in
half the time that it takes the teams
TO reach the scene of the fires. The
commissioner asks that people OBJ
serve this and assist the department
in every way possible. A little pre-
caution would reduce the grass fires
to minimum but 1t seems tina
some people will be careless and fo
that reason Mr.. London asks tina
when a fire gets beyond control il
the dry grass that the nature of /
be reported when the alarm is turn
ed in.

PASTOR
IS SMAK|NC GOOD
WITH SCHOOL
REV. MASTERS, FORMER PASTOR
OF THE BROADWAY BAPTIST
CHURCH, is MAKING BAPTIST
UNIVERSITY A REALITY.

Rev. j. r. Masters, former pastor
of the Broadwa, Baptist church o,
this city. was here Saturday and spent
part Of Yesterday with friends in the
city. Rev. Masters was selected to
head the Baptis- State University a.
shawnee after a careful canvass of
the entire state had been made for
man to fill this most important po'
sition. and so well has he measured
mn TO the task that he is now landed
as the most efficient man that coulG
have possibly been selected for the
place.
The principal thing required OF Rev,
Masters after he was elevated to his
present position was to raise money.
The financial status of the university
was not any too sound, but he had
the reputation of teasing dollars from
the pockets of laymen for church pur-
poses and went to work with the re.
suit that the school will be on a SOUND
financial basis before he has finished
his second year at its head.
Mr.. Masters came to Ardmore when
the affairs of the Broadway Baptist
church were in rather a chaotic con
dition, but with tactfulness and re
sourcefulness soon had things running
smoothly and he had affairs in the
very best of shape when he left here
assume his present position.
Rev. Masters always receives a
warm welcome when he visits the
city. He is man that appeals to
nen and youth alike. He is tolerant
If other peoples views and has as
many admirers among the Catholics
nd other denominations as among his
own people When asked what was
his mission here this time, he replied
hat he was working for the school.

Fair and Warmer.

Fair and Warmer is the piquant
title of Avery Hopwood's latest and
finest farce, which has run for one
year at the Eltinge Theatre, New York,
with unparalleled success, and which
Selwyn & Company, having put 1t on
tour in response to universal demand,
will present at the Palace Theatre on
Saturday, matinee and night
Mr.. Hopwood's farce tells a merry
tale of how two highly respectable
and more than averagely domesticated
persons, discovering that their respec'
tive errant sponses had taxed their
patience till it has ceased to be a
virtue. rose in their righteous wrath
and tried to be wicked
Having little or no practice in wick
edness and being hindered rather than
helped by what they knew of 1t by
hearsay, they involved themselves in
terrible calamities, while the former
naughty members of their families
had the righteous indignation all to
themselves.
The innocents, meanwhile, having
even less knowledge of how to get out
| of trouble. than of how to get into II
saw their plight increase till it all
but obliterated them. 1t is precisely
! the sort of idea which Avery Hop
wood knows best how to put through
its PAGES, getting its finest farcica
flavor, and giving it his deftest char
acterization and satirical comedy. One
scene. now famous as the Cocktail
/ Scene, was described by the reviewers
as the best in the whole history Of
| farce.
Fair and Warmer" begins in the
early evening. stays up all night, ano
concludes by noon of the following
day. having in that time disrupted anC
re-assorted two households, devastated
tame robin" and brought wisdom
and repentance - saints and sinners
/ alike. II has not a moment betweer
/ its curtains when its humOr flags Ol
| It's situations slacken.
Selwyn & Company will present 1
here with a cast fully designed to giy'
| its comic values.
